When I was asked to join this team of beautiful — and weary — mommas, I had to pray long and hard!
Hope? Always!
Weary? Absolutely!
Mom? For the last 18 years!
But me encourage other mommas through their weary mess when I don’t have a handle on my own?!? Oh Lord, help me!
Given the current state of my bone-wrenching weariness, I most certainly don’t think myself qualified to encourage a momma fly, let alone an actual human with real babies to care for!
But the invitation from Brooke and Stacey clearly stated they wanted mommas who would be:
~ real
~ focused on God’s Word
~ and will encourage other moms
Two out of three isn’t too bad, is it? That whole “encouraging” thing is the one I was hung up on. But as I prayed about it, God encouraged me that if I were transparent in my current state of messiness … I would most certainly encourage other moms who are also in a state of messiness.
And so I humbly replied, “Yes! I would be honored to be a part of Team Hope.”
Friends, this beautiful team of women have a passion for, not only encouraging other moms through the weariness of motherhood — but they’re also passionate about sharing the hope found in trusting God through these weary days, weeks, months, and years.
The new Hope for the Weary Mom blog was born from a passion Brooke and Stacey had as they wrote, Hope for the Weary Mom: Where God Meets You in Your Mess. If you’re a momma and you haven’t read their book … you should. Just sayin’.
I’d love if you stopped back tomorrow as I share a letter that goes something like this:
Dear Weary Mom,
I’m tired. I’m worn. My heart is heavy.
#####
I realize it doesn’t sound much like I’m doing that “encouraging thing” — but I promise there’s hope. God always brings hope. I’m not sure of much else these days, but a God of hope? Of that I’m sure!
You know I am so excited for you to be part of what God is doing through Hope. He writes beautiful through you Tracie.
Love you dearly.
I know my heart will be encouraged.
Thank you for saying yes!
seriously … thank you for asking! love you tons!
I know you will be a blessing to many through this new venture. Love you!
thank you sweet friend!! i love you right back!
I’ll be praying for you, that God enables you to pour back out any strength He gives.
thank you kelly!! i never take a prayer for granted! :) thanks for stopping by!
Amen!
