As Moms it is so easy to become discouraged and feel like what we’re doing doesn’t matter. We long to see the fruit now, but all we see are tiny baby sprouts. 

In this episode, Shonda helps us to remember that motherhood is a ministry. Despite what other positions God may have called you to in this season, our primary ministry and focus is our children. 

Join me as Shonda reminds us: 

• To trust God with the hearts of our kids
• That we need to give ourselves and our kids grace
• Discouragement will come, but God is faithful
