This is The Homemaking Foundation's podcast with Jamie Valmay, episode number 278.

Welcome to the Homemaking Foundation's podcast, where we give you the tools, inspiration, and

encouragement you need to craft a gospel-centered home. And now your host from youngwifesguide.com,

Jamie Belmay. Hey, ladies, welcome back to my podcast. Today, we are going to be talking about some

spiritual encouragement for moms. Moms who are feeling overwhelmed and burnt out and struggling

a little bit. We are having baby number six in four days, probably four days.

We have a C-section scheduled for four days from now, unless I go into labor before then.

And I keep getting asked for some encouragement for new moms. So when you've just had a baby,

what does that recovery look like and that encouragement? And so I was really thinking that through today as I'm

thinking about the fact that this time next week, we'll have a couple day old. And was really

thinking through that process and decided I kind of wanted to talk about that topic, but not just to new moms,

because I know that's very narrow. There's a lot of you listening that could use encouragement,

and you didn't just have a baby, but you could still use some encouragement. So whether you're

a longtime mom, new mom, even mom a little while, wherever you fall on that spectrum. I really want to give some spiritual

encouragement today because it can be overwhelming and tiring. And if you're listening to this

live as it goes out, we're dealing with quarantine from COVID. And a lot of us are feeling

even more stretched and maxed than usual

and beating ourselves up and a lot of guilt and all of that stuff and that all applies to being

a new mom as well so that is what we're chatting about today we're going to hear from the sponsor

for today's

episode Storyworth in a little while. And so today we're talking about spiritual encouragement.

And in the next episode, I'm going to be talking about some practical tips for moms.
