Summary
From diaper choices and sleep methods to snack options and schooling methods, we make many decisions throughout our years of mothering. We research, we pray, we talk with our husbands, and we come to what feels like our "final" decision. But what about when we need to or want to change? In this episode, Emily and Laura talk about changing our minds on the little things and the big things. While we will never be perfect in decision-making, we serve a God who is wise, all-knowing, and in perfect control of all things. Momma, let's be faithful in our limitations while trusting our limitless God to bring all things to fruition for his glory and our good.

| 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. |
| 0:31.8 | Well, welcome back to another episode of Risen Motherhood. I'm Laura and I have my sister-in-law, |
| 0:41.6 | Emily here with me. Hello. And today we just wanted to highlight one quick thing for you guys. |
| 0:47.2 | Did you all know that we have a blog? Yes, we do. Well, if you haven't seen our blog yet, |
| 0:53.7 | we would encourage you to check it out on RisenMotherhood.com. We have added in a lot of different |
| 0:58.8 | voices, which we're really excited about. And we try to talk about a little more specific topics |
| 1:03.6 | than what we talk about here on the show. The show we try to reserve for in general, pretty broad |
| 1:09.0 | topics that every mom can find some ability to relate to. And the blog, though, our hope is to be |
| 1:14.9 | able to not only do that, but also to be able to dive into some specific topics that we maybe |
| 1:19.4 | can't go into depth here on the show. So you can subscribe to that to get our blog and our new |
| 1:24.8 | shows straight to your inbox via email on our website. It's on our homepage and we'll toss a link |
| 1:29.6 | in the show notes too, so you can see real easy where it's at. And also you can subscribe to our |
| 1:34.5 | newsletter, which comes out once a month. It's put together by our blog editor, Autumn Kern. |
| 1:40.8 | She does amazing. She pulls together a lot of resources that we share with her and she writes |
| 1:46.1 | this sweet letter. And it's just full of really good stuff. In fact, I was reading it when it came |
| 1:51.2 | out in February. And I'm like, this is kind of click on this stuff. It sounds really good. We never |
| 1:55.8 | knew about all of this. Yeah, she does a great job curating on things. It's things that we don't |
| 2:00.4 | necessarily share on social media. So it's new stuff. And we definitely think you're going to love it. |
