The Refined Mother

Often, faulty thinking patterns and sinful attitudes can compound our sense of overwhelm. In this episode, I expose mine, to help you reflect on similar areas in your life. When we identify and name problematic areas in our thinking, we can begin to deal with them and ask The Lord to help us overcome them.

As we navigate this season, we can start to wonder when someone else will step out, when someone will notice. How do we get replenished when we are replenishing everyone else? There is one source of true joy and refreshment and we examine this in the light of some Biblical accounts.

Who I think I am, and who I am trying to be - is a strong driving force behind my behaviour, choices and reactions each day. When my life spiralled out of control, The Lord showed me that my identity was incorrectly placed. Incorrectly placed identity contributes greatly to our sense of overwhelm. Join me to explore this further and find out who you really are.
