5 Days with God amid Ordinary MotherhoodSýnishorn

I traded six figures and a fancy title for this home life.

Now I spend my days wiping bottoms and buying groceries and folding laundry and pushing swings and driving kids from here to there. If I’m being honest, sometimes I’m discouraged by how small I seem next to the movers and shakers. Sometimes I get caught up in the duties and obligations of daily life and begin to wonder…

What’s next, God? What am I supposed to be doing here? What’s the point? Is this REALLY my ministry? It all seems so small. So…ordinary. Isn’t there MORE?

But, mommas, I’m learning that when we put Him right at the center of our motherhood, wiping bottoms and buying groceries and folding laundry and driving kids to basketball practice becomes about LOVE. God’s love.

And it might seem ordinary from the outside, I suppose. But maybe if I do my quiet, ordinary work and you do yours, perhaps one day the kingdom really will come. On earth, as it is in heaven.

Won’t you join me? Over the next five days, take a few minutes of your morning to read from my 5-day devotional. The Scripture and personal questions will help connect you with God right in the middle of mundane motherhood.

We’ll find Him right here, after all.

In the ordinary.
