Who do you think you are? Do you think you read enough…Know enough…or are well-versed enough to talk to people about topics as big as faith and identity…Are you really so skilled at mothering that other people should listen to you??

The truth - everything in my body screams no.

In that flurry, I stopped and whispered a silent prayer: “God, if you see something in me, help me see it too.” Something softened. I realized the doubts were not truth, just noise—the sort of noise ego makes when it senses movement beyond old limits.

Here’s something that might surprise you, ego doesn’t always come in the form of seeming power and strength. According to Eckart Tolle, a modern spiritual teacher respected by many around the globe, he says that emotions like fear and anxiety arise as a result of ego...when it perceives a threat to its carefully constructed identity. So when I’m saying no, this is out of my comfort zone but God is saying yes - Well, I’m left asking who knows better...

Proverbs 16:3 says, “commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”

So here we are - I’m starting a podcast that will explore faith and identity through the lens of motherhood… and you’re still listening to see if I’m going to say anything that’s actually worthwhile.

So for the sake of this inaugural Grace Note and looking towards where our spiritual journeys intersect, let’s touch on Ephesians chapter 4, where Paul presents what is known as a fivefold ministry.

Here we learn that the Holy Spirit has gifted each of us an ability to build up the body of Christ - apostle, prophet, evangelist, Shepherd and/or teacher - if you’re a mama listening to this, I hope you feel confident in claiming the teacher and/or Shepherd gifts. It’s OK if you don’t feel like your children are not responding to your teaching. I'll be honest, I feel rejected on regular basis when I attempt to open my mouth without their deliberate request for my engagement. And it's okay if you feel like you're not Shepherding your children to follow Jesus as good as the next Mom. I believe that every micro moment counts, — and for many (young and old), sharing God’s promises without pressure can be effective for both the one delivering — and receiving. I have come to realize that becoming a mom is an automatic opportunity to grow your gifts from God, if you are willing to deconstruct your ego so you can reconstruct your faith. Let’s work together to wake up that holy consciousness that lies within us all, so that our gifts are used to achieve good works.

Thank you for listening to today’s Grace Note — a brief, real-life moment where deeper presence turned an ordinary experience into something meaningful. Grace Notes are my way of sharing how conscious awareness and spiritual attention can reveal unexpected insights in even the simplest parts of life, offering gentle reminders that every day holds the seeds of transformation.
