My name is Pam. I am a wife, mother of two boys (ages 6 and 8), and owner of a therapy practice in Orlando, FL.
This blog is for anyone out there that feels that things will be better when:
a) I win the lottery
b) I get a full-time housekeeper/nanny
c) the economy improves
d) I get a raise
e) I get a man or a better man
f) My husband respects me and sees things from my point of view, goshdarnit!
g) all of the above
I, too, have thought that things will be better when different external factors (outside of me) finally change. Fortunately, I have learned that we as mothers can and NEED to encourage ourselves. We need to do this for the sake of our marriage, our children, our family. As women, we are influencers of a new generation. As we influence, we can either chose to walk in discouragement or encouragement. This school year, let's walk in encouragement!
We have big hopes and dreams for our children, yet God has even bigger hopes and dreams for them! He has big dreams and amazing purposes for us, as moms, too. We can ENCOURAGE our children to greatness and purpose!
God gave Moses many tasks. One of those tasks was to encourage Joshua, his assistant. Joshua would lead God's chosen people into the promised land of Canaan.
But your assistant, Joshua son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage him, because he will lead Israel to inherit it.
But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see."
There are amazing things that are children are called to do. Now is the time to encourage them. That is why we need to stay encouraged, moms.
