When Holley asked us to share the "why" behind our God-sized dream, I thought I would share about my experience gathering mommas and loving on them.
Then I realized it really all comes down to one thing.
Mommas touch something deep inside my heart.
I know them. I see them. I am them.
Mommas are my tribe...my people.
Stay at home or work outside the home.
Single or married.
Tinies or teens.
Expecting or empty nesters.
Potty training or teaching to drive.
Mommas in all stages of the journey.
They are my people.
I long to reach out to each one in every and any way possible to say,
"Me too. You are not alone."
Sometimes that means gathering around a table leading a Bible study.
Sometimes that means sitting across the table over coffee.
Sometimes that means reaching through the screen and touching a heart.
All of it comes down to this dream of gathering mommas.
The mommas who hide behind the busy and get lost in the laundry.
The mommas who feel alone and long for community.
To grab hold of a hand and say,
"Me too."
That's my why.
My friend Holley Gerth invited me to join a group of dreamers that she affectionately calls her God Sized Dream Team. What a blessing to be part of this group.
We will be gathering each week on Tuesdays at Holley's to encourage each other to dream those God sized dreams.
Won't you join us?
What is your God-sized dream?
Holley had written a love letter to dreamers. Her book You're Made for a God-Sized Dream is full of words of encouragement and will speak to your heart.
Blessings,

I like the why behind your dream, and I imagine you are a great blessing to many mommas who need encouragement.
