E74: On Becoming

Welcome to Episode 74 of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Mothering! In this episode, I talk about hitting the milestone of 10k downloads. Thank you so much!

I also chat about becoming, discouragement, waiting, and what to do when we feel disappointed.

Here are some of my questions for you:

• What did you enjoy doing as a child? What made you happy?
• How has God used those things in your journey to becoming? What dots can you connect from your life now that you couldn’t see as you lived through them?
• What are you waiting for? How can you grow your roots down deep in this waiting season?

Some of the resources I mention include:

• “Nobody wants to show you the hours and hours of becoming. They’d rather show the highlight of what they’ve become.” - Angela Duckworth
• Galatians 6:9: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up.”
• Zechariah 4:10: “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
• Psalm 1:1-3 says, “How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers, But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night, And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.”
• “Don’t waste the waiting. A waiting season isn’t a wasted season if you continue to seek and push into God.” - Pastor Craig Groeschel
