🙏How are you doing, momma? We're praying that the joy and strength of the Lord is sustaining you as you care for your baby and juggle many other responsibilities. May He stretch out parts of your day so that you can get a moment just for yourself, to catch your breath and squeeze in some rest. May His sweet and gentle Presence overflow in you today.

📌For those who weren't able to join us for Motherhood in the Overflow last Sunday, we wanted to share some encouragement and simple ways to show yourself grace.

1) Take deep breaths throughout the day. Feel your feet on the ground. Meditate on your favorite scripture or soak in calming worship music.

2) You don't have to do it all on your own. There's so much multi-tasking that goes on each day, and it all adds up. Even with the seemingly little things, ask for help!

3) Self-care is not selfish. Don't feel guilty about taking care of yourself first. Even if it's for 15 - 30 mins, just for yourself, do it! Take a short walk, eat your favorite food, snuggle up with a good book or whatever it is that gives you a moment to reset.

4) Set healthy relationship boundaries. You're first a human being, not a human doing-- you're not a machine (although it may feel like it right now). If you haven't had a baby, it's impossible to fully understand the physical, emotional and mental stress that you're experiencing. So, if you haven't already, start the important dialogue with your spouse/family caretaker, so that everyone's on the same page with how they can support you. [We highly recommend Boundaries by Cloud & Townsend if you're struggling to know when to say no and yes.]

Follow and share with a friend who also needs this encouragement.

👉🏼If you're searching for individual or in-home therapy for perinatal anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders, please reach out to Brittany Lutz, LCSW https://www.brittanyesteplcsw.com.

*We're holding prayer sessions on zoom, so send us a note if you're wanting some prayer support. It's our joy to walk with you in prayer.

Are you a new mom feeling overwhelmed and depleted? There are so many unexpected, challenging changes that new moms experience. It’s a whole new world of navigating the new normal of your life, with a little one who depends on you day and night. Literally attached to you 24/7!

Sometimes play dates and mom groups leave you feeling even more tired and feeling alone.

So if this you or know a mom who could really use some refreshment and find real connection, please like, tag and share this special event just for new moms.

“I received a tremendous healing work in my heart during my Level 2 training class. I had suffered every type of abuse as a child, including sexual abuse. I had kept a lot of those memories hidden deep within my heart for years because of shame, guilt, and fear. It wasn't until college that God started to heal me of my past pains. This process took over a couple of years and multiple healing sessions.

During our class' practicum, God brought up another memory and at this point, I was so tired of having to pray through my wounds of sexual abuse. I thought I had gotten rid of most of it! But God knows my heart and more than that, he longed to heal me COMPLETELY. So my team graciously prayed with me and alongside of me through my pains, weeping with me as I repented and forgave.

At the end, they prayed for the resurrected body of Jesus Christ to heal every mental system in my body and my broken sexuality. As the prayer minister was closing the session in prayer, I just felt the weights of shame and guilt completely gone! Then I burst into laughter from the joy of the Lord because I had no shame, none at all! I could say that this abuse happened to me but I didn't feel burdened by it! I was completely healed and set free from the effects of those wounds! All I can say is Praise Jesus. He is so very alive today and he heals!”

"I am too broken, I have sinned too much ~ how can I be made whole again? Where do I even begin?"

We have had countless clients come through our doors with these kinds of questions. Some are filled with shame because they have too many hurts and labeled as "too much to handle" by society. And with years of rejection and despair, they've lost sight of who they really are in Christ and believe the lie that they have become SHAMEFUL."

The good and great news is that He invites us to draw near to Him no matter where we've wandered off to, no matter the pit we find ourselves in. Though we are dark, we are lovely. Song of Songs 1:5. Many forget that Jesus came to save the sick and lost, not to condemn but to deliver us from darkness and bring us into His Kingdom of grace.

Jesus, you are worthy of all our yes's, all our brokenness, our very lives. It's all yours.

Christ, our Healer.

Is anyone hungry? Is anyone thirsty? There’s room for you at His table.

Come and eat food that will not spoil. Come and drink from the fountain of life that will not leave you thirsty.

He will satisfy your every need.

The only cost to you is to bring your whole heart - the good, the bad and the messy. He can handle it. You are not too much for him. You are his beloved. You belong to Him.

………

“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Lest we forget the simple but powerful message of the cross...

This is the message of the cross, that we can be free,
To live in the victory, and turn from our sin,
My precious Lord Jesus, with sinners you died,
For there you revealed your love and you laid down your life.

This is the message of the cross, that we can be free,
To lay all our burdens here, at the foot of the tree,
The cross was the shame of the world,
But the glory of God,
For Jesus you conquered sin and you gave us new life!

You set me free when I came to the cross,
Poured out your blood for I was broken and lost,
There I was healed and you covered my sin,
It's there you saved me, this is the message of the cross.

The Lord has asked some of you to do hard things in this season. He’s asked you to step out of your comfort zone, exercising those spiritual muscles that have been atrophied in fear and doubt.

He’s inviting some of you to do things that will ruffle some feathers, and even causing those who are near you to question your decisions.

But keep going. Keep surrendering every fleshy part of your soul that resists obedience and humility. Come under his perfect leadership. He is trustworthy.

Those who wait upon the Lord, those who continue to hope in him and abide him will never be put to shame. Psalm 25:3

You will hear his voice: this is the way, walk in it. Even if you turn to the left or right. Even if you’ve misheard his voice….he is faithful to guide you in loving kindness and gentleness. Isa. 30:21

Our Immanuel will be with you. He IS with you and he is FOR you.

DO NOT FRET. 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏽

Sometimes practicing the Presence of God requires practicing silence. An active kind of silence.

Silence the voice of the enemy - his accusations, lies and deceptions.

Rather than watching what the enemy is doing, watch what the Father is doing and partner with him by doing only the things he has called you to do today.

In the midst of the shaking, where is God calling you to stand firm today?

Let nothing move you.

Your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
