Hating Motherhood: How to See Your Children as God Sees Them with Shayla Marie Huber

Motherhood.... it will always be one of the biggest blessings in our life but it is also something that can drive us crazy! Do not get me wrong, I love my kiddos and would do absolutely anything for them but some days, they push every button I have and even discover new ones! haha Have you been there? 

My amazing friend Shayla felt the exact same way for years. She was just like us, frustrated, angry, yelling and checked out. Then something changed. The Lord spoke to her and took her on a journey of healing not just in motherhood but in herself. Her insight on this topic is not revolutionary but it sure feels like it to those of us who are still on the struggle bus!! Her newest book, 10 Things I Hate About Motherhood touches on the 10 things that she struggled with that God did a mighty work in. Then she did the generous thing and shared them with us in this book! This book is one that needs to be on your bookshelf at all times for reference! 

Shayla is a rodeo wife and momma, author and speaker who helps women seek God first to transform their marriages, their homes, and their lives! She's a small town wife and momma from Iowa who loves Jesus and is passionate about pointing women to TRUTH so they can live abundant and thriving lives. 

Key Takeaways: 

• We can’t compare our children to each other or other children
• You are a good mom!
• Having self compassion is hard because of shame, God can and will deliver us from shame!
• Shame is a lie that tells us we deserve to feel bad, while conviction is God’s gentle call to healing, not punishment
• Don’t make everything about personal failure
• We have to see ourselves and our children through God’s eyes - this makes all the difference in our parenting
• We need to be honest and authentic with God
• Parenting can be a journey of grace and repair
