My guest this week is Bethany McDonald, wife and mom of two girls. Bethany recently wrote a post on Facebook that went "viral." She titled her post, "You can pour from an empty cup." This post caused quite the stir amongst fellow mamas. Our culture highly encourages mothers to "pour" into themselves first, so that then they will be able to "pour" into their families. However, when we search God's Word, we find that this mentality is a slippery slope. In fact, self-care can quickly turn into selfishness. As 2 Corinthians 12:9 states, "but He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.' So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me".
