Summary

Even when it seems like you've done everything right as a mom, inevitably, things still don't go your way. Someone disobeys, comes down with a fever, talks back or leaves their toy on the ground for you to step on, and in no time...you blow it. Your hopes for being a perfectly pulled-together mom are dashed for the day, leaving you wondering if there's even any point in trying. On today's episode, Emily and Laura talk about those bad moments that we let define and dominate our whole day. But we don't have to get stuck there, because our identity in Christ means we can keep pursuing holiness. When we finally stop believing that we are "bad mom" or "blow-up mom" or "can't get it together mom" but are "God's beloved daughter, fully redeemed," we can move on with bold purpose.

0:00.0	Motherhood is hard. One second, we think we're doing a good enough job and the next we feel
0:09.8	like the worst mom on the planet. Which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel
0:14.9	to be repeated over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments. So, mama, whether
0:20.9	you're sipping cold coffee or doing a sink full of dishes, we hope you'll find true,
0:25.9	encouragement and laughter here. This is the Risen Motherhood Podcast. Thanks for joining us.
0:39.2	Well, hey guys, welcome back to Risen Motherhood. I'm Emily Jensen. Literally, right next to my
0:45.6	sister and mom or a whiplier, we are together physically in the same room. If you don't know, we usually
0:52.6	record over Skype because while we live a ways away from each other, five hours away. And
0:58.4	like, even if we live right next door, it would still be really difficult to do. We would probably
1:02.6	still Skype because let's be honest, we have this thing called kids. It makes it very difficult.
1:07.8	We have to hide in our basements. Yeah, they're pretty good. But it's exciting. We are here together
1:12.7	today. And, oh, and so we are talking today a little bit about redeeming our day and kind of
1:20.8	turning it around when we feel like it's gone bad. But before we dive into that, we just wanted
1:25.6	to let you guys know we've had a few questions about where we're at on Instagram. And we are
1:30.8	there, but just not as resume. We do exist, but you're not going to find a Risen Motherhood handle
1:35.2	to follow. You can find Emily at Emily Jensen writes. Yeah, that's what I am there. Go ahead,
1:42.4	don't leave an over name. And you can find me at Laura Whiffler. And of course go to RisenMotherhood.com
1:49.5	find, I don't know if we linked our Instagram, but we will figure out a way to make it easy for you
1:56.0	from RisenMotherhood before this show goes live. And you have a hashtag RisenMotherhood on Instagram.
2:01.1	So if you even search the hashtag, you can probably find it. Yeah, definitely. So we just can't
2:05.7	manage so many different profiles. I don't know. I know there are some people that are on every single
2:10.4	social profile in existence. And Emily and I will try it out. And we're just like, we're old ladies.
