Raise your hand if you want to be a great mom.

I know I do. Sadly that goal is rarely ever reached by pure determination. Usually by 9 am, the whining or constant needs or sibling rivalry, sabotage all\xa0my\xa0efforts.

But what if I didn\u2019t have to try to be a \u201cgreat mom\u201d in my own strength?\xa0What if there was a way to have eyes to see the most important things, patience to handle one more question and love to cover another mess?\xa0

You\u2019re probably not going to be shocked by the solution\u2013a combination of God\u2019s Word & praying to be led by His Sprit. \xa0But maybe you struggle to make the solution a reality.

Yesterday our pastor taught from Psalm 119, saying\xa0\u201cA God-oriented life is a Word-oriented life.\u201d\xa0If we claim to be followers of Christ, believers of God, and yet don\u2019t spend time in His Word, we will not have the firm foundation to stand on when the storms come.

Today\u2019s podcast guest,\xa0Kat Lee (InspiredtoAction.com) not only reminds us how special moms are, but the game changer of going from frazzled to faithful.\xa0

Being the practical gal she is, Kat also shares an opportunity you have to be a part of an accountability community,\xa0HelloMornings\xa0(registration starts today! September 29th).

Sometimes we need people to come around us and spur us on to do things we struggle to do on our own.\xa0

Personally? This is the verse I\u2019m memorizing:

Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. Ps 119:37
