Hey everyone! Thanks
for stopping by to check out my new blog—Mama's Maze. I am truly excited about
starting this blog. God placed this on my heart a while ago so it is awesome to
see it come to fruition. I have never
done anything like this before, so I am thrilled about venturing
into uncharted territory. Writing is a passion of mine, and I love talking
about the goodness of God. So what
better way to put the two together than in a blog.
How did I come up
with the name Mama's Maze? Well, one day
as I was pondering on what the name of this blog would be, I thought about my experiences as a mother. I mean, after being in the game for five years now, what could I compare motherhood to? After much thought, the word "maze" came to mind. If you have ever been in a maze or
played some type of game that had one, you know it can be challenging,
frustrating, and rewarding if you ever make it through. There are so many twists and turns that it
can be quite overwhelming and even tempting to just wave a white flag and
surrender.
Now, I want you to imagine going through a maze in which you
have a guide--someone who will help you and give you direction. All you have to do is listen to that person,
and follow their instructions. Well, guess
what? As a Christian, you have that
guide readily available to you in the person of Jesus Christ. He is ready to show you the direction you need
to go. One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 3:5,6. It says :
Trust
in the Lord with all your heart,
and
do not rely on your own understanding;
think about Him in all your ways,
and He will guide you on the right paths. (HCSB)
So why is it so hard
for us to hear him or follow his commands?
Why is it that as Christians our lives seem tougher? Shouldn't it be
easier? We will explore those questions
and many others throughout this blog.
It is my hope that I
can encourage you in your walk with Christ. We will talk about many things as
it relates to motherhood, "wifey"hood, and womanhood. I will share some of my experiences (past and present), some lessons learned, and those that I haven't quite got yet. This is not meant to be a blog about being the "perfect mom" or "super mom" because those people don't exist. It's about us finding our identity in Christ and seeing our role as mother through the eyes of our creator. Mama's Maze is here to remind you that you can depend on Jesus through all
of the craziness.
Each of us will have
different paths in our maze. I have a son who has mild autism. Someone else may
have a child who suffers from an incurable disease. Another may be a
single mom struggling to do it all by herself.
Whatever our stories are, and no matter how different, our God is
faithful to help us through all of our situations. I expect that both you and I will be
challenged, blessed, and encouraged along the way.
Awesome lady of the lord.May God bless you in this endeavor.I look forward to checking out your spiritual advice.Congratulations!
