April Heart Check-In for Mamas

Mamas, how are you doing? Are you weary & heavy laden? Are you seeking the Well that will never run dry?

Are you in the Word? Are you intentionally & actively hiding it in your heart?

Are you praying? Not just thinking & scheming on your own, but casting your cares on the Lord?

Are you singing praises to Him? Are you filling your home with hymns and tuning your heart to truth?

January seems to be the main month where there’s a big push & emphasis to build holy habits. But sometimes life derails us. The tyranny of the urgent distracts us. We prioritize what we shouldn’t and fail to keep first things first.

So here’s an April Heart Check-In: Let us set aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance this race set before us. By God’s mercy and grace, slow and steady wins the race.

If you’ve veered off the path or sat down & dozed off, it’s time to repent. It’s time get up, dust off your feet and move forward with our scrolls in hand. Let us press toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called us heavenward in Jesus Christ.

You’re not walking this path alone. I’m on this path too. And I’m praying for you. I’m cheering for you. Rooting you on.

You have other friends and family on this road as well. Reach out to someone today--a sister in Christ--and share this encouragement with her. Let’s exhort one another, stoke the coals, and fan the fires of our faith.

And may we pass the baton to the next generation. Our children are watching us. Let us be an example for little feet to follow. “Follow me as I follow Christ.”

So lace up your shoes, pull back your hair & gird up your loins. Let’s run this race and finish well.
