Summary

Maybe you have kiddos that nap for hours on end, giving you time to balance numerous responsibilities. Or maybe, you go to battle everyday just to get 30 minutes of peace and quiet. Whatever your circumstances, Jesus understands what it's like to be needed, and he also understands laying it all down for the sake of those he loves. On today's episode, Emily and Laura discuss the common challenges of naptime and how to make the most of the situation. Because ultimately, all of our time belongs to the Lord, and no amount of peace and quiet will provide the lasting peace we crave.

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
0:14.4	gospel to be repeated over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments. So, mama,
0:20.7	whether you're sipping cold coffee or doing a sink full of dishes, we hope you'll find
0:24.9	true encouragement and laughter here. This is the Risen Motherhood Podcast. Thanks for joining us.
0:37.8	Well, hey guys and welcome to another episode of Risen Motherhood. This is another show where
0:43.1	Emily and I are together. So, I've got Emily and you right next to me here. And true story,
0:50.2	Emily, myself, I have a baby on my lap. Just so you guys know, in case there's any weird background.
0:56.6	Yeah, so if you hear someone crying or anything like that, we had this little guy wake up early
1:02.1	from nap and so he is going to join us for our show today. But today, kind of funny enough,
1:08.6	we are actually talking about nap times. I didn't think about that. I told us now. Oh yeah,
1:14.8	he cut it short for us. We don't like to get in as we record this. Exactly. So, we are
1:21.3	chatting a little bit today about how as a mom, you can use your nap time well. And I don't know,
1:25.8	Emily, do we want to just like start with chatting a little bit about how things we've done
1:30.5	during nap times and how it's kind of changed over motherhood? Yeah. And so, let's see,
1:36.5	nap time for me right now. Again, I have four kiddos and my oldest son doesn't nap anymore.
1:44.3	So, that is that's a whole transition in and of itself that I spent most of winter and denial about.
1:50.0	But he does have like a rest time where he plays quietly, but it's not the same. So, I truly don't
1:54.5	have anymore like a period of the day when my kids are awake that I am away from children. Like,
2:00.8	nobody talking to me for like 10 or 15 minutes or longer. And so, that's really changed.
2:06.8	But luckily, my twin toddlers, they do still take anywhere from one to two hours worth of
