"I imagine the day where I get to see my creator face to face. I come to him with my head hung in guilt and shame, and God gently puts his hand under my chin, lifting my face towards him, looking me in the eyes and saying "well done, good and faithful servant". 

"It just takes me out of myself and points to Jesus. Why am I trying to be perfect? I can't be perfect. And I do know that. I know that's why I need Jesus. But I still feel this guilt deeply."

"Lots of my guilt is comparing to other mums, who appear to be perfect, which they're probably thinking the same about me."

"I just need to care about what God thinks and what his opinion of me us. Audience of one. He is my father. I don't need to impress him. He is for me. He loves me. He forgives me. So I don't know why I live my life that focused on the noise of everybody else."

"In one sense, God's got it. He's in control. We just need to be faithful in our work, in the gifts he's given us to bring him glory and make disciples in our families. And yet, that's a very daunting task." 

"You don't have to be the perfect parent. God hasn't called you to perfection. And he doesn't expect you to be, he know's that you're not. But, we are called to be faithful and obedient with what God has given us to point our families to God. God uses our weaknesses to do that."
