MOM 2 MOM: Can You Hear It?

Life will always have its share of puddles!  And there isn't a mom in this world who hasn't had to dodge them, plow through them, and often come out muddied from battle.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE! God is working for you and sends his mightiest angels to fight on your behalf - no matter how small or how big the war.  He will always be your solid ground in a world filled with potholes.

This morning God impressed upon my heart to share words of encouragement with several precious moms I have the privilege of mentoring - one whose daughter is the receiver of hurtful words and actions by a girl who has learned to manipulate and deceive.  Know the mother, know the child. Her behavior has been learned by example, and God will deal with it! Because his justice is just.  He has a way of getting our attention!

Another mom is trusting in God's strength to be courageous in dealing with verbal abuse and mental instability from the former father of her children; while a third mom seeks boldness and God's intervention in standing firm during times of verbal attacks and vindictive behavior by extended family members.

Constant prayer is penetrating through the darkness giving each mom heavenly insight and wisdom that is helping in very visible ways. God continues to bring people along their path who are doing good on their behalf and are on the battle lines with them.  

If we refuse to tire of doing what is good and what is right, if we remain steadfast and obedient to God, he deals with the words and actions of others.  He hears your battle cries and renews your strength! And as an added bonus, he's promises to never give us more than we can handle without bringing in reinforcements!

Jesus tells us his yoke is light and he is waiting for each of us to release our conflicts to him -  he's up all night anyway!

Surround yourself with people who dwell is what is good, and forget the bad - those who make you laugh and who refuse to let the world zap their joy, even when life turns sour.
My grandma used to say,"Hang out with the cherry tomatoes, and be in prayer for the radishes!" 

I was given an amazing song cd by one of my moms yesterday, and as I listened to it this morning, one sung by Kim Walker Smith pierced my heart! Honestly some of the most beautiful and worshipful lyrics I've heard!  Powerful!!

So I copied the song link below and hope those reading these words will listen...(early morning before the kids are up, or late at night after they're asleep ... or when you're alone in the bathtub! Are moms ever alone?!) 

Spirit Break Out

Can you hear it mom?  The sound of heaven touching earth?  God's Spirit breaking out and heaven raining down! He's there in the puddles! He is with you now, with you always, and never forsakes you...          

Be strong and courageous ( through battle)  Do not be afraid; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

Blessed to be on this journey with you!  Never lose heart mom ...you're in good company!
