What kind of mum are you???

There are so many identifiers for us to associate with!
But what about us? What does it actually mean to identify as a Christian mum? 

And more than that, what about the different pulls we have that we WANT to identify as. The lures that appeal to us, that validate and give worth to what we value.

Today Sarah and I chat through our identity as christian women and the tension we have as we consider all the different labels we have as women today. We chat through the temptations we face.

Sarah provides a helpful framework of thinking as we align our feelings and experiences to be under christ - how the gospel is the lens that we look at everything through.

"
We have that inheritance. We are those children. We are the betrothed. We are the elected and adopted all of those words. That mean we, we are in Christ. Now. We are part of his kingdom. We are part of his purposes part of his church family. There's no waiting for those things. But other things that we chase after in our identity, may never come to fruition."

"Family and ministry and work and all of those things - they're  juggling balls. Some of those are made of glass that you can't drop. And some of them are made of rubber. You have to like bounce and let them go for a little while."

"There is enormous purpose in this life. When it is weaved for God and that his purposes are grand and beautiful and that he wants us to be part of those is just amazing."

"this life matters and the decisions that we make matter in this life - but they're also pale in comparison to what's comes next. And what eternity is and the peacefulness of, thinking about marriage and work and those things that are important, but they not everything."
