Every Mom Needs a Friend

A new season is upon us, gals! Enjoy this Season Tres Opener where you basically hear me squealing and giving you a big hug for about 10 minutes. Grace upon grace for me as we dust the mic off and get back swinging... and let's discuss saying "No" this fall. 

Looking forward to a sweet season ahead, and glad that you're joining me!

Love y'all DEEP xoxoxoxoxo

Be sure to keep up with me on insta (@everymomneedsafriend) so we can stay in touch and you can know when we are starting back up for season 3! Will miss you this summer but also hope you enjoy it!!

Psalm 95:2-7a

2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also.

5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!

7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

Let's get into the nitty gritty about why and how you make friends. And I continue to sit on that soap box about proximity friendships - why they are SO dang important! 

But also today's episode is a super sweet one because we’ve hit a milestone as a podcast family and that is today’s episode being my 100th episode! What a fun, fulfilling, easy, joyful, stretching ride it’s been for me and hopefully you, especially if there’s any of you that have listened to any considerable portion of all those 100 episodes!

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm  118:24)

And I just want us to rest in that today that TODAY - this day, this present moment, this drive, this morning, this present circumstance that you are in, it has been dictated, and known from the beginning of time and all that we are asked to do is be here, fully resting in what the Lord has for us and find joy that he knows us and he has us. 

So today I am going to sit in this gratitude of all the blessings that are in front of me and I’ll ask that y’all seek to be present and live in gratitude for the present moment, acknowledging God's abundant blessings in your life too. So with that let’s talk about why you need friends and how you make them!

Love y'all deep xoxoxoxo

Calling all "bad texters"!!! For so so long I've felt almost shame around my inability to stay up on texts, but it took getting to my 30s to realize that maybe I just don't like that form of communication and maybe I've just consciously prioritized relationships of the people right in front of me. 

Today's episode talks about that and gets a little personal about why I maybe put up walls. Ooooof! Y'all need to hear this one. 

Next week is the last episode in this mini-friendship series! And our 100th episode, EMNAF fam!! Love y'all deep, thanks for joining me on this sweet little journey. xoxoxoxo

My best friend is back on the podcast to talk about her mom and how although she passed away too soon, her legacy and love for the Lord continues to live on. 

I know you'll be blessed by this! Listen with hope that our story doesn't end here. And that how you love Jesus is more impacting to your children then how perfect you were or how much you did. Kailyn's mom loved Jesus and practically that's all that matters. 

Jesus come! Thank you for the gift of glory and the peace that accompanies it.

xoxooxoxoxox love y'all deep.

Seems strange, but have you ever categorized your friendships? Do you naturally tell some friends some things and withhold some from others? When there's something fun to celebrate, who are you the first to call? Do you have anyone that could be at your house in 15 mins or less if you needed it?

Let's get really honest about friendships. And let me know what I've missed, I love hearing from you! Connect with me on insta (@everymomneedsafriend). Love y'all so dang deep xoxoxoxo
