[Ep 182] Keeping Family a Priority with Danielle Roberts
from Journal Gently: Healing with God through quiet reflection, honest conversations, and gentle journaling · host Kari Bartkus, Spiritual Director for Christian Women
As women, as moms, we carry a lot of responsibilities, and sometimes a lot of expectations—from ourselves and from others. Yet one thing is clear: God has called us to keep our families as a top priority. The question is, how do we do that? In this episode, I talk with life and business coach Danielle Roberts and we explore what this might look like, often sharing personal examples from our own lives. Danielle and I are both work from home, homeschooling moms, but we recognize that women fill all kinds of roles and callings. So there's no judgment here. Just an open conversation between friends about how to care for our precious families that God has entrusted us with. We talk about: · Not comparing your family/priorities with others · God's funny timing · How many priorities you can actually have · Balancing discipline and discipleship · Letting your husband know you care · And deciding what's best for you and your family This whole thing is something that needs to be regularly evaluated, and changes made when needed. And I wonder what God might reveal to you as you listen. Is He reaffirming a choice you have already made? Inviting you to make a change? I encourage you to listen for His voice in the midst of this conversation with Danielle—see what He might be saying to you.
