Spring is springing which means the shorts are coming out and we are finally tackling our unshaven legs. We don&#8217;t feel guilty about that one bit but there are plenty of other things we struggle feeling guilt about as moms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we can&#8217;t make it to the field trip, have served chicken nuggets for the 5th night in a row, and have lost our temper with our kids, the mom guilt sets in. We want to be good moms; that&#8217;s why we struggle. What we have to remember is that we will never be perfect moms and that&#8217;s actually a good thing. Our imperfections create beautiful opportunities for us to share the gospel with our children and preach it back to our own hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s stop striving after perfection (an unattainable and damaging goal) and rejoice in our imperfections. Remember, it&#8217;s in our weakness that Jesus is strong! We want to be moms who display the goodness of Jesus more than our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Our next ONLINE GATHER GROUP meeting is coming up on April 18th at 7 pm.
