I didn’t write “Hope for the Weary Mom” because I have this mommy thing all figured out. I wrote it because I don’t.   It is my life 5 minutes ago.  It is where this weary mom lives now.  I wrote it because I need a constant reminder to keep my eyes dead-locked on Jesus.  He is my only hope today when breakfast has to be made for four kids, tomorrow when there is more laundry than I can wrestle, and next week when my girls are wrecked by life and the drama of the moment.  Jesus is my hope anchor and I’m holding tight with both hands.

Tonight, I’m co-hosting a live online chat with Brooke for about 100 other weary moms. Can I tell you a secret?  I’m scared to death. I’m shaking in my boots with the thought, “What if I have nothing good to say? What if they walk away thinking, “What a joke.”

Did I share too much?  I sure hope you are still with me. If you are one of those moms who bought the book last Wednesday and will be on the chat, thank you.  I’m so glad you are coming to the table.  It is always nice to “see” friendly faces.  If you are not, would you do me a favor?  Would you volunteer for the Weary Mom Prayer Team?  I just seriously made that up.  But would you anyway?  Would you pray…

  • for Jesus to occupy the first and favored seat
  • that He would fill my heart and mouth with His Words
  • for moms to be encouraged
  • the technology to work brilliantly and our connections be quick and clear
  • Hope to be passed on and lifted up from mom to mom

Oh girl, you just made my day.  Thank you for being you.  For being here.  I can’t wait to tell all about it!
