I have to "Keep my Act Together" 17. I can't have a Clean House While Raising Children ~A robustly, thoroughly, Biblical and gospel-focused understanding of "hard"; how God uses the hard moments for our good ~Reframing our view of "hard" times in light of the good God can bring from them ~Gaining a decisive victory over the lies Satan uses to discourage us and bring us down ~The reality that motherhood is hard....but it's also good ~Why Satan tries to make us think we "have to keep our act together"; the pitfalls this leads to in the areas of friendship and community ~How "keeping our act together" leads to a weakening of our witness and a stunting of our growth ~How comparison, perfectionism, and a lack of vulnerability lead us to think we have to "keep our act together" ~How the gospel pertains to cleaning your house ~Having a balanced perspective of homemaking, understanding that we are called to steward our homes well, while also understanding that our homes will look lived in....and that's ok ~And more!
