A Shelter for the Heart
Guest post on Chapter 2 of HEART from Rebecca of Mom’s Mustard Seeds: It’s a beautiful story we (girls) grow up watching… Cinderella, Snow White… well, ok, not completely beautiful – they have horrible lives, but then, Prince Charming comes along and sweeps them off of their feet and they live ‘happily ever after… … … ‘
or so the story ends.
What are my kids learning from my marriage? They are always watching me and learning from me. So, what are they learning from my marriage?
God’s intention for marriage is oneness (or unity) and sacrifice. Marriage is supposed to be a picture or example of our relationship with God.

Rachael Carman shares on chapter 1 of HEART: I believe the best news in this chapter is that God doesn’t leave me alone in my mothering. He wants to walk with me through each day so that we can face it together! Having time with Him in the morning before the craziness ensues helps me focus on Him and reminds me that He is there, that I’m not alone.
Thoughts and reflections on chapter 1 of How to Have a H.E.A.R.T. For Your Kids: Moms, we need to be responders, not reactors. What’s the difference? A reactor acts in reaction to the the situations around them. If the surrounding environment is screaming and chaos, the reactor acts with the same – screaming and adds to the chaos. Responders act from within. They pour out what’s inside them to add peace and calm to a situation. It’s about being intentional and that starts with taking care of mom and our relationship with God.
