You may know that Ordinary Days matter but are wondering HOW you can make them matter. In this brief episode, I share 7 tips on how you can make your ordinary days matter. 

Motherhood isn't easy and motherhood is messy. Join me in this conversation with Richelle as she shares how she deals with the "Motherhood Messes" whether they be literal, emotional, or mental. She shares some raw and real examples from her own motherhood as well as some resources that have helped her. And she encourages us on how we can have joy in our motherhood for God's glory. 

Join me as I dive into this topic of using our Ordinary Days for an Extraordinary God. You will either hear from me or from other ladies who share encouragement for making our Ordinary Days matter. You can have Ordinary Days for an Extraordinary God. Your ordinary days don’t have to be boring or worthless! If what you’re doing is for God’s glory, then my friend, what you’re doing is far from worthless! What you’re doing is mattering for eternity.

We kick off the series, Ordinary Days for an Extraordinary God and Michelle gives us great reminders on how we can still find joy in the ordinary. Motherhood and Marriage can seem overwhelming at times and so often it's because we have a me-first mentality. JOY is often spelled Jesus, Others, You. It's not that we are not to think of ourselves but that we are to put Jesus as our number one priority, others next, and ourselves last. In the same manner, we are to make sure that we are taking care of ourselves so that we can care of others and their needs. 

Following Christ is not the norm. At least true followship isn't. There are so many fans of Christ, but I wonder how many genuine followers of Christ there are? Don’t follow your feelings, follow Jesus. Don’t follow your heart, follow Jesus. Your heart is deceitful. Following Christ does not mean you have to be perfect but rather accept the fact that you are loved in your imperfections. It doesn't mean that you necessarily have to give up everything, but rather remember that God gives and takes away but He is still good.  “Jesus fed 5000 but only 500 followed Him after lunch. He had 12 disciples, but only 3 went further in the Garden and only 1 stood with Him at the cross. The closer you get to the Cross, the smaller the crowd becomes.”  Are you a fan of Jesus or a follower of Jesus?  

What do you do when someone you love is gone sooner than you would have ever expected? Join me in this conversation with Jessie Tanner as she shares how her love story began and how she is now navigating her life after loss with three children. Truly, God's grace and God's provision is evident in her life.
