But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

Hi Moms!

Happy New Year to you! I pray you enjoyed the season of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ with your friends, family and loved ones in the best way. For those of you who felt overwhelmed, overstimulated and maybe sometimes sad and defeated, you are seen, heard and loved by our Lord and Savior and you are not alone! My prayer for you is you have entered the new year with hope anchored in the Lord and with heavenly expectation that God wants to meet you right where you are in this season. I want to take some time to say WELCOME to all of the new moms who have entered to this space and thank you to all of you who have been open and willing to partner with me in building God's mission to reach moms who love Jesus! I pray you will find value and develop a deeper intimacy with the Lord as we work together to build Holy Spirit fueled discipline.

Introducing the Living Faith Moms Facebook Community

I am beyond excited to introduce the opening of the Living Faith Moms Facebook Community Group. We all have a pretty significant common unity of being moms, desiring to be moms and/or preparing to be moms. Community is essential. When I started Living Faith Moms as a small group in 2021 I had no idea just how much God wanted to do in transforming and renewing the minds of Mothers. As I have studied the Word of God more and more I realize Mothers have ALWAYS been super important to God and He truly wants to move in this space and I am open and willing more than I have ever been to be His vessel. So join us if you can by clicking the link: www.facebook.com/groups/livingfaithmoms/

Prayer Requests

Do you have an intercessory prayer need? Please share with us so we can stand in agreement with you and war in the spirit against the enemy's agenda!

We stand form on the word of God when we are command to "Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens. For this reason take up the full armor of God, sot that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand." Ephesians 6: 12-13

Make The Most of the Next Three Months

Hey Moms! Did I mention that you are seen AND you are heard? Also another reminder before we wrap up this letter. What you are going through is needed to push you through to your next. It's okay to be upset, sad, frustrated and overwhelmed AND its necessary! How do I know? Because God said so through a man named Paul.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4

I have heard twice already today John 15 and talks of pruning and how God wants to prune us. One person was talking about how sometimes there are things that need to be uprooted because we have allowed things like pain, bitterness and offense take root in our hearts. Could we consider, friends, that maybe this wilderness, this desert, this storm is challenging us and working and uprooting things out of us. I know. It's uncomfortable. So let's talk strategy for the new year.

Here are three goals and actions steps to consider as you are managing through this new year challenge:

Foster Stronger Relationships:

Build and maintain strong relationships. This is why the Facebook Group is opening up because if you don't have this already, YOU NEED IT! It's a safe space filled with women of God. This has action steps to it, we will talk about this more in the group, it includes:

Reach Out Regularly
Practice Active Listening
Participate in Community Activities

Establish a Balanced Routine

Taking care of your physical and mental health should be a top priority as you navigate the challenges of the new year. Create a daily schedule that includes time for exercise, healthy eating, and relaxation. Aim to incorporate a variety of physical activities that you enjoy.

Create a Bible Study Schedule

Allocate specific times each week dedicated to reading and studying your Word. We will talk more in the Facebook group about structuring your time with God and we will lean in on how hard this is a moms and explore tips and tools for how to build this into our routine.

By setting these three essential goals and following through with the outlined action steps, you can effectively manage the challenges presented by the new year. Remember, you are so so loved by God and you are not alone! God Bless!

YOU ARE LOVED!
