Find Beauty in the Mess - 273

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

It's hard to gain perspective and see beauty in the middle of the mess. But that, my friend, is where beauty is built—one moment at a time. 

We want things tidy. We want order. We want harmony. Although they are possible to achieve, the journey is where true beauty is discovered while we traverse each day. 

There is value in the mess, and God uses it to build family bonds that last a lifetime. 

Remember, Motherhood is the ministry of showing up. God is looking for your willingness and obedience, not your perfection. 

"Beautiful things are rarely tidy. They are built over time. Sown in mess, grown with grit, and harvested in faith." Connie Albers
