I am so happy to share a wonderful resource with you today…
Desperate. How many times have you felt that way as a mom? Probably more times than we would like to admit to anyone, especially in public, online for the world to see.
But you love your children down to the very depths of your soul and you would give your life for them. How can something you wanted so bad leave you feeling so desperate and confused and exhausted??
Being desperate is an emotion we experience~ some more than others. Lack of sleep, not knowing what in the world to do with this fragile baby who won’t sleep or quit crying. Or fear of sickness, death of your child, what if I die and leave them? Or as your kids are growing and changing and becoming independent as you trained them to be and they are facing the evils of the world. Will they make the right choices? Will I be loving and firm and know what to do in tough situations?
Remember how before you were a parent, you had all the answers? “My child would never do that…” Or maybe that was just me??
Then, you are blessed with this amazing bundle of joy and you are shocked when they disobey, lie or you just can’t make them mind. What in the world happened to all the formulas and plans you had that you now see flying out the window?
Enter a breath of fresh air through the book, Desperate.
In Desperate you will find the story of one young mother’s honest account of the desperate feelings experienced in motherhood and one experienced mentor’s realistic and gentle exhortations that were forged in the trenches of raising her own four children.
“There are forty different ways to parent, but we need to ask, “Lord, how do you want me to raise my kids?” ~~Sarah Mae
“You are exactly the mom your children need. He created you for these good works from before the foundation of the world, and as you walk this great call of motherhood with Him holding your hand, you will be amazed at how He weaves the beautiful thread of redemption through the pattern of your life. He brings light to the dark places through you, something you could only have accomplished by embracing His wonderful call and embracing these very precious children who were inextricable created as part of the design for your life. May He bless you and fill you with great joy in this journey.” ~~Sally Clarkson, Desperate: Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe
This book is like a warm cup of coffee or tea with a friend. I was blessed to meet Sally and Sarah Mae at the Allume Conference and loved hearing their voices as I read the book. Even if you haven’t had that privilege, you get to watch a free video at the end of each chapter…free! It is like having a special visit with friends. {I have a better picture with Sarah Mae, but can’t find it…how could I lose a picture with Sarah Mae???}
