One of the things that moms wrestle with most ispatience.  I sure have. There are days when the end of our rope is very short.  But the Jesus mom has resources at her disposal to walk with more patience.

Nothing robs us of the joy of being a mom more thanfear.  Mom fear runs the gamut of things to be afraid of. It is something that begins a lot of times before we even become a mom. For me, it was a fear of whether I would be able to conceive or not.  Once we do conceive, we fear that we will lose the baby. There is fear of the birthing process and if everythingwill be okay. And the struggle continues all the days of their lives.

I have never had hopeless despair crouch at the door before,but it was sitting right there waiting for me to open it and let it waltz right in. It’s easy for that to happen when you look around and see the state of our country and the world. Since the pandemic, it feels like we are on a fast track to the end times. No one knows when that will happen but God,but the signs are surely here. The one thing that makes everything different for us as believers is that our hope isn’t in this world.  It is in the world to come and all the things that are happening in this world are things that must happen before Jesus comes back.

Fearless faith is choosing to trust God beyond the unknown.There are a lot of unknowns in the world and what is going on in it these days, but we should not be surprised or panicked at all. Things are going according to God’s plan, and He is the One in control, despite what our human eyes are telling us.The temptation is to fear just about everything. There arewars and rumors of wars, nations rising up against nations, earthquakes, and famines. People are turning from faith in God and people are betraying one another. Many false prophets are deceiving so many. Yet, as followers of Jesus, we know that all these things must happen before Jesus returns to settle the score with sin. In this episode, Tina shares five Bible verses and how you can overcome fear by walking them out.Join the Prayer Tribe https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesListen to Legacy - A Mom Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/7gUlB9MmhN1cTJT3RqYt2o?si=60eaac2447e64191Flying Arrow Productions

Humble pie is hard to swallow sometimes.  But, what I’ve learned is, done right, it can have a sweet taste. Let’s face it, Jesus gave us the perfect recipe for humble pie.  And teaching our children this secret will give them a great start to peaceful living with others. Humility comes with its own set of misconceptions.   I believe we see what we may think "looks" like humility when, in fact, the opposite is true.  In this episode, Tina is sharing with you what biblical humility looks like and gives you tips on how to walk in it.Join the Prayer Tribe here https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourkneesListen to Legacy - A Mom Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/7gUlB9MmhN1cTJT3RqYt2o?si=e56799dd30a04fa6Flying Arrow Productions
