I had the privilege of meeting Jill last summer at She Speaks. I knew quite a bit about her since her ministry is based in my town, plus I know her daughter in law, but had never actually met her in person and introduced myself. She is such an amazing women! She has such an amazing heart and she blessed me so much at She Speaks by eating dinner with me one night!
But back to the reason for this post..."No More Perfect Moms." I can't even begin to describe how excited I am about this book! I have read through the first few chapters so far and already have teared up many times. I've felt a lot of judgement in my short time of being a mom: judged about being a working mom when others thought I should stay at home, and even judged others about many things myself. I am guilty. Guilty of setting too high of expectations on myself and on others. Guilty of thinking I knew better about something than another mom did. Guilty of thinking my way was "the" way.
Before I even knew Jill was working on this book God was breaking my heart on the matter. He was revealing to me my hardened heart and helping me realize that I didn't appreciate being judged by others or having high expectations placed upon me, so why would I do the same thing to others? He was helping me understand that it's sin. Flat out wrong to judge another whether you think you know better or not. It's time to break down our barriers and differences between one another ladies and start encouraging one another as women of God to be faithful to what He calls each of us to, and that might look differently for your family than mine.
No More Perfect Moms will help you...
- Change your unrealistic expectations to realistic expectations in order to better manage everyday challenges.
- Give grace and love to your husband and children even in difficult family life circumstances.
