Does Mother's Day often feel like it came and went and you don't feel celebrated, appreciated, rested, or rejuvenated? It leaves you hurt, bitter, and frustrated. Let's stop the cycle before it starts! Here are 6 questions to ask before your day, Mama:

1. What do I REALLY want to do?
2. Have I communicated this clearly to my crew?
3. Would choosing another day help me renew?
4. Would freedom to have time away be the best thing you can do?
5. Is there preparation you should do?
6. Are you training your kids to have peace in their futures, too?

Did you listen to Part 1 yet? Start there first!

An AGAIN to surrender: fear. We work so hard to bless our children. We do all the things to set them up for success ... and if we're honest, we often wish we had all the control. What do we do when our worst fear happens? Will God be good to us? Are His plans really higher than our plans? What do I do when my friend is going through a tragedy? Is there anything practical I can do to help?

This testimony from Jen Stotz highlights the faithfulness of God to her and her husband as they received the terminal brain cancer diagnosis of their son. In part 1, Christian parents will be reminded to trust the Lord in all things. Even if the road is incredibly difficult, we do not walk it alone. If we have eyes to see, God's kindness will be evident. Jen reminds moms to cling to the Word of God in our trials. Whatever you are going through, this will be a reminder of where to place your trust.
