Welcome back to the kitchen table. Do you ever say to yourself…"if only this were different, my life would be better." "If only this season were easier."

It’s easy to believe these thoughts. They sneak in when exhaustion sets in, when the demands of motherhood feel overwhelming, when we long for a little more freedom, a little more ease. But the enemy thrives on discontentment. 

Motherhood is a sacrifice. It will cost you time, energy, and peace of mind. But God placed you in this season for a reason. 

Yet we’re always waiting for the next season, thinking that’s when life will finally feel whole. But Jesus tells us in John 6:35, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry.” Our hunger for something different, something easier, is really a hunger for him.

We have to confront the lie that a change in circumstances will satisfy us. It won’t. Only Jesus will. If we don’t sit with him, we will always feel empty. Today, instead of longing for a different season, let’s choose to fill up on the truth: he is enough, and he is here in this season, too.
