The Ideal Christian Mother with Helen Mann

We all have built up a picture, or standard, of what the ideal Christian mother looks like. But how much of what we strive for is actually what God asks of us in his Word?

Helen and I chat through her story and how she was challenged with this ideal when her hands became full with little people, and the guilt creep in that she wasn't doing "enough" - enough by our own imposed standard.

Helens reminder to be in Gods word and seeking to be faithful to him above all is a helpful reminder for us all as we wrestle with the root of our motivations and what we're actually striving for.

"He isn't pleased by me choosing the tasks that look impressive or achieves more. He wants my heart and for me to place him above anything else". 

"I am firstly God's child, his beloved daughter. And it's an amazing privilege to be a parent now and experience some of that relationship for yourself in a whole new way. He loves me more deeply than I can imagine".

"Even in all of your weakness and brokenness, he just wants you to come to him".

"Do away with your standard and start completely afresh. Go  back to the Bible and understand what God's standard for your life is. Focus on that - pray that God would reveal more and more of himself to you".
