Gaining Wisdom from Seasoned Mothers with Elizabeth Ensor


Listen Later

I truly loved this conversation with my long time internet friend, Elizabeth Ensor. Elizabeth is so inspiring to me. She is intentional in her role as a wife, mother, home educator, a creative and as a woman. She wants to make the most and the best with what she has, and she is doing it! In this episode Elizabeth shares with us about the guide she created to glean wisdom from mothers farther along the path than we are. After Elizabeth’s mom passed away, Elizabeth missed being able to talk to her mom with questions and really she had a yearning for godly wisdom from seasoned mothers. So she made what she was looking for! Learn all about this resource she made. She tells us more in today’s episode.

Some favorite quotes from this episode: 

“My mom was always right there and very intentional about what we did.” Elizabeth Ensor 

“Her approach to motherhood and life has inspired me and every good part of me is from her!” Elizabeth Ensor 

“There is this idea in the business world, this 3 percent rule that if you invest back into yourself, you set money aside, then you are going to grow as a person and a leader. So even as a mom and home educator, we may not be bringing in a lot, but our emotional health and wisdom runs the home.” Elizabeth Ensor 

“Every seasoned mom just tells me to enjoy it. Enjoy your kids.” Elizabeth Ensor 

“Wisdom is mentioned in the Bible over 200 times and we are commanded to seek it.” Elizabeth Ensor 

“We need to have the humility to say, ‘I don’t have this all figured out and I need some help and wisdom from someone farther along than me and someone whose children I admire. Those are the people I want to learn from.” Greta Eskridge 

“The investment you make, not just in your children but in yourself as a mom, to raise your children well is valuable.” Greta Eskridge  

“Whatever season I am in, I want to fully enjoy it.” Greta Eskridge  

“We need to be heard in the moments when it’s hard and then we need to be reminded to really celebrate, even when it’s hard, because the seasons don’t last forever.” Greta Eskridge
