65. Where the Practical Meets Jesus

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week, Bethany is tackling conversations that are constantly circling through motherhood that most mamas have, have had, or will have. The why won’t my baby sleep, or will my child ever be potty trained conversations.    Bethany provides practical advice that intersects with the Gospel, allowing mama’s to rest easy and remember that YOU are the chosen one for your child. While sleep training, potty training, and character training can serve as struggles in our motherhood, they are also holy places where God invites you to hold his hand.    When we stay practical yet intertwine the Gospel, we understand that we were invited into motherhood because God entrusted this soul in you because he believes you are the best mama for this child. During these moments of defeat, we can turn to the Lord to ask for help, guidance, and perspective to better understand the heart and soul of this child.    Bethany provides us with five ways to take truth from the word to apply it to our children during these moments of motherhood.  1. Understand there is a soul that is in need of a savior.2. Ask God for wisdom. Seek a plan by turning to God.3. Choose consistency. 4. Pray. Pray. Pray.5. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Encourage one another and build each other up. Speak words of life to your children.   On the days when you have done everything when you are struggling and dismayed. Be not dismayed. I am your God. Fear, not mama, I am with you. Isaiah 41:10    Important Scriptures:  Psalm 121:2 Proverbs 3 James 1:5 Isaiah 40: 11 Jeremiah 33:3  Bethany welcomes you to share some of your favorite moments or maybe some of your most difficult moments of motherhood.   Connect with Bethany: Website Instagram Facebook
