moms, encourage one another.

"Take it easy..... praying healing and direction over you this week!"

Something so so simply said by a sweet momma friend but so filling for my heart.

'So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.' 
- 1 Thessalonions 5:11

I was feeling attacked recently. In my marriage, my personal life, my parenting -- all of it. I felt like I was failing.
I couldnt find the {uninterrupted} time to spend with God and every aspect of my life was suffering.

How was I supposed to come on here and talk about thriving  when I felt like I was far from that myself.
 I was feeling stuck. I didnt really know what to do but I decided to reach out to a momma friend.

Not because I think she has it all together... she often tells me she doesnt.
Not because I believe she is better then me.... I am really working on not comparing.
But because she is a believer of Christ and I know she will pray for me. She will encourage me. She will give me advice. She will talk to the Lord on behalf of me.

Mommas, we cannot do this alone! We need other mommas to champion alongside us. To pray with us and for us when we cannot find the words. To encourage us to keep going. To remind us that this stage will end (especially in these incredibly trying toddler stages).
I am so so thankful for the Christian women I have that I can text or call when I am having a hard moment.
We are all figuring this out. We all have moments that are tough and we could use that encourageing "praying for you, sister" text.

So, if you have a mom friend that could use some encouragement... tell her! Text her and ask how you can pray for her. E-mail her something you are learning or a bible verse that has given you life this week.

And if you are having a tough moment/day/week/month know that us moms here at Arrows and Warriors want to champion beside you! We want to pray for you! We want to encourage you!

You are not alone!

Lord, I pray for every single beautiful woman that is reading this right now. I declare that in this next week they will find a new sense of peace and a fresh wind of energy straight from the Holy Spirit. I declare that You will grip their heart in a new way. Father, You know what is going on in their individual lives and you see them intimately. I pray that You will direct them to encourage and pray for their friends. God, remind them that they are not alone that they have an army of moms praying for them, that want to offer encouragement and love. Even with different parenting styles the thing we have in common is our love for you, Lord. So I just pray that we will all stand together in unison to pray that each mom has a divine encounter. That moms will feel refreshed and renewed by Your Holy Spirit and that no mom will feel like they are on this journey alone. In Jesus Name Amen!

Praying for you all and sending lots of love and coffee!
xxoo, Monica
