"As moms, it's so easy to dismiss or neglect the things on our hearts. We hold back from pursuing certain dreams or passions and we keep ourselves from walking in our talents and gifts. Sometimes this really is what we ought to be doing for certain seasons in our lives, at least until there is more margin and we feel a peace from God in our Spirit to move forward and pursue these things. But then there are times when we're choosing to not pursue these things because we're afraid of letting him down or losing focus of what matters. Sometimes we're just afraid of neglecting our calling as a mom. We want to be the best moms we can be and so we somehow come to believe that that has to mean pushing everything else aside..."Press play to hear more.Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarationsLearn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coachingFollow Soul Care for the New Mom on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/soulcareforthenewmomI want to hear from you!Don’t forget to leave a review and share how Soul Care for the New Mom has been an encouragement to you!

"This has been a rough season for a lot of us. It seems like every household has been getting hit with illness after illness, such as the nasty cold or some kind of bug or the crazy flu that's been spreading like wildfire. My own house has dealt with its fair share of sicknesses this winter, the worst of it being the week that my husband had the flu. If you keep up with the blog, then you probably saw that I wrote about this and that it really took all of me to be both mom and dad for our daughter that week. By the end of it I was completely worn down and spent. I could not wait for everyone in our house to be healthy again and for my husband to finally be back to his normal self..."Press play to hear more.Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarationsLearn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coachingFollow Soul Care for the New Mom on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/soulcareforthenewmomI want to hear from you!Don’t forget to leave a review and share how Soul Care for the New Mom has been an encouragement to you!

"I realized that even though last night was hard, and I’m sure to have more hard nights ahead, I have the power to cling to a better, more eternity-minded perspective. I know that when I get to the end of my life, I will not regret the nights spent rocking my crying child to sleep. But what I may regret is knowing that I hindered the Lord's work being done in me because I couldn’t see past the temporary and keep HIS kingdom and HIS purposes at the forefront of my mind..."Press play to hear more.Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarationsLearn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coachingFollow Soul Care for the New Mom on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/soulcareforthenewmomI want to hear from you!Don’t forget to leave a review and share how Soul Care for the New Mom has been an encouragement to you!

"Have you ever had a morning where every fiber of your being begged you to stay in bed? No matter how much you knew you needed to start your day, you just couldn't bear the thought of putting your feet on the ground. If you're in the thick of motherhood, then odds are you haven't just had one morning like this, but have had many. Because sometimes being a mom feels like signing up to be in a war zone day after day, and there are just some days where you don't want to fight..."Press play to hear more.Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarationsLearn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coachingFollow Soul Care for the New Mom on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/soulcareforthenewmomI want to hear from you!Don’t forget to leave a review and share how Soul Care for the New Mom has been an encouragement to you!

"I don’t know about you, but sometimes when the nights are rough and I’m up way longer than I had hoped to be, I find myself crying out to the Lord for help and strength. But honestly, what I’m longing for most isn’t necessarily for more sleep (although, of course that would be VERY much appreciated), but rather that I would just feel his presence beside me so I could know that I’m not alone in this. I don’t want to bear this burden alone.I wish I could say that I always feel the comfort of the Lord in these moments, but there are many times when I don’t. After the baby is finally asleep again, I climb back into bed feeling a weight of sorrow because even though I won this battle, I’m already worn down and I know there’s still more up ahead. I wonder how long the Lord will allow this sleeplessness to continue and whether it really is for my good and for his glory..."Press play to hear more.Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarationsLearn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coachingFollow Soul Care for the New Mom on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/soulcareforthenewmomI want to hear from you!Don’t forget to leave a review and share how Soul Care for the New Mom has been an encouragement to you!

"We are invited in the midst of our trials to seek wisdom and clarity from the Lord. This honestly isn't always my first thought or action when I'm facing difficulty in my life. Sometimes I wonder if God just wants me to figure it all out on my own. But this passage says otherwise. We are promised that we will receive wisdom when we ask for it in faith. And after giving some thought to how this has played out in my life through past experience, I've realized that there have been many times when God has met me in the middle of my struggles to give me the wisdom I'm looking for, whether it's an immediate, practical solution or just a reminder to keep my eyes fixed on him. But perhaps the best wisdom of all comes in the form of his gentle voice reminding us, 'beloved one, this is making you more like my Son.'"Press play to hear more.Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarationsLearn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coachingFollow Soul Care for the New Mom on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/soulcareforthenewmomI want to hear from you!Don’t forget to leave a review and share how Soul Care for the New Mom has been an encouragement to you!

"If I'm being honest, I think I do have a hard time believing that God loves me enough to talk to me. And when I dive a little further into my thought processes and beliefs about this, I realize that I carry a lot of fear in my heart when it comes to my relationship with the Lord. Like if he's not revealing something big to me or showing up in my life in some grand way, then I fear that I'm doing something wrong and he's disappointed in me. I confuse his silence for distance, and I wonder if he's distant from me in order to punish me because maybe I'm not as diligent in prayer as I think I should be or I'm too easily distracted by all I have going on.Maybe you think and feel similar things, and if so, I want to offer some words of truth and wisdom for the both of us today. The truth is the Lord is not hiding from you. He's not trying to tease or trick you or even punish you. He does want to speak to you. But it's in the still, small voice that he wants to speak..."Press play to hear more.Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarationsLearn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coachingFollow Soul Care for the New Mom on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/soulcareforthenewmomI want to hear from you!Don’t forget to leave a review and share how Soul Care for the New Mom has been an encouragement to you!

"If you’re like me, you kicked off 2018 with a list of goals and dreams for the coming year, things you hoped to accomplish or get better at, things that you didn’t quite manage to succeed with in 2017. The beauty of a new year is that it gives us hope. Hope that change will come.But if you’re like me, you also quickly realized that change takes time. You’ve already messed up in several areas. The things you planned to set in motion still haven’t taken off. You’re a little disappointed that you didn’t wake up in 2018 as a completely different person..."Click play to hear more.Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarationsLearn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coachingFollow Soul Care for the New Mom on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/soulcareforthenewmomI want to hear from you!Don’t forget to leave a review and share how Soul Care for the New Mom has been an encouragement to you!
