Our #MamaTribe Affirmations

**OUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL GROUP COMMUNITY - OUR CHILDREN! 😍🙌🏻🤪🙏Yesterday after mass, I warned my boys that tomorrow night starts our fall Blessed is She meetings @blessedisshe__. Oh, I know where the chairs go, mommy! You know what this means, Dominic, we get to spy on the cars in the driveway! Haha #kids. Setting up to grab a picture, I planned a post on leading small groups; the Spirit led otherwise. Boys, quick grab your bibles & grab a seat! Then I thank my professional husband photographer 😘

They tell us to “find your tribe.” “Stay in your lane.” Sometimes that’s just disheartening. I remember looking around other “tribes,” How do I know what’s for me? Where do I find them? What lane to follow? 

Early motherhood, new school year beginnings, and the online world are especially vulnerable.

Here’s the reassurance! Our most important tribe lays right before us. Our tribe of children. In whatever size, whatever form - this is the small group community He equips us to lead. 

I have to keep reminding myself, not by MY strength, but HIS flowing through. “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness - for when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 

Our mama circle seats will all look different. We'll fill that empty one in unique ways, with our unique gifts. “There are different spiritual gifts but the same spirit,” 1 Corinthians. 

Here’s some awesome Monday #momlife reminders to get us through! 

- I was #madeforthis exact mama tribe God’s given me 

- My family tribe will look different from anyone else’s, it’s uniquely designed 

- God isn’t judging my mama tribe decisions; He’s drawing me closer through the process 

- He is the vine, I am the branch

-Jesus is with me in the mess of my story 

Prayers for this new week beginning mama, He’s meeting us right where we are & He’s got us!!!! 

How are you feeling this Monday?? What's your favorite #momlifeaffirmation helping you through?

In Joy,
