194. Are Your Kids Missing Out?

Instagram lied...there is no "right" childhood and chasing it IS what's stealing valuable peace from our momma hearts.

There's no single perfect childhood you're supposed to recreate for your kids.

Not the one you made up from the 10 moms you follow on IG.

And not even the one you've always dreamed of giving your children.

The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all version and there's no possible way you could have foreseen every eventuality, the type of children you had, their specific needs, life changes, world changes...we could go on and on.

Each one of these factors changes the game a little.

And even in all this...God is writing your children's childhood through your family.

Today we're pulling back the curtain on the pressure we face chasing a fictitious vision of "good" and embracing the truth that the childhood your kids are living in your home right now is the one they're MEANT to have. Mess and all.

We're going to share a few ways you can lean into that peace, purpose and trust the season you're in.

And while you're listening, we want you to hold this question with open hands:

Lord, what kind of childhood are You inviting me to co-create with You?
