Filling Up on Jesus

Jesus is the only thing in this life that can truly satisfy.

He is the only thing that can fill our cups up to overflowing.

So learning how to get Jesus into our life everyday is crucial.

This area of the website is dedicated to encouraging you to do just that!

Together we will explore ideas for how to

keep our cups fill up with His Word and the Holy Spirit
empty our minds of the physical things that want to fill it but rather look to the spiritual
seek truth around the lies we hear in our heads

Ultimately I pray that we learn to lift up our cups to Jesus to fill, so that we can freely pour out to others.

Join us for a blog series starting November 2018 titled ‘Lifting our Cups’ We will be exploring practical ways to prevent feeling drained. Find all the articles in the series here. (Be sure to come back each week for a new article)

I’m so glad Mari decided to come this side of the Mississippi. 😄 it gave us homeschool moms an excuse for a road trip! •

Kinda crazy to think a year ago so many of us didn’t know each other. Also crazy to think how even though most of us had never met in person it felt like a reunion of old friends. And one more crazy thing- to think that we didn’t know this trip was even in God’s plan 2 weeks ago. •

I have days when I think there has to be more to it than this. . .

I drug myself out of bed, turned on auto pilot and went about the motions. Over and over again. The same things. The dishes, the meals the laundry. Same ole thing over and over. Nothing changed. bossing the kids around. Reminding them to do their chores. Spoon feeding their school work to them. Over and over again.
What is the point?

I methodically walked thru the motions. Yet Deep inside my heart there were questions yearning for answers. What is in this for me? Why do I do this over and over? Is motherhood really supposed to feel like this? •
•
Deep inside I knew moms had a purpose. My head knew it, but my heart didn’t understand.

Tucked inside the stories of Moses, I found answers. Watching his reactions to the ups and downs of life with kids, and leaning into his habits; I have found a new perspective that has changed my motherhood. Read more on the new post in the blog.
