WHEN MOTHERHOOD FEELS HARD / a spiritual perspective to a physical struggle

No denying it, these last couple weeks have had some tough moments, but that being said, this is a perspective that encourages me whenever I have the energy to bring it to mind. 🤣🤣❤️
Love you all so much! I hope this uplifts your heart as well.

Your vulnerability was of great encouragement to me and quite timely, as the Lord tends to be. I have 2 little boys, 3 and not yet a year. The 4 of us were sick all through December and trying to recover my home from a state of chaos was difficult. A couple of times this month I have spoken unwell to my children and felt devastated in my sin. The thought of how temporary this stage is overcame me with great joy and sorrow as my children will one day no longer need me to serve them they way I do now. This constant struggle to maintain everyone's needs will slow down and we all be able to, God willing, work together more as a family team. I thank you again for sharing, you are appreciated and not alone.

Oh, I’m so sorry. Sickness really can throw off so many things that help a home run smoothly, schedules, good sleep, so many things. I am so glad this video could be of benefit. I hope January is going better. 💕

I am no longer raising up children but this can be applied to so many other areas of service for the Lord. Thanks for the scriptural reminders, Sara!

[@BecauseitMatters]

That is so very true! 💕 thank you for all the wisdom you’ve shared with us women at church about children and training. 💕💕

[@farmhouseonthemountain]

Your humility is beautiful and this was very helpful. We all fall short, we all get off track, but realizing our failings and seeking to do better is what makes us better wives and mothers. Honestly with ourselves and God. Thank you for this encouragement.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@Jolly.Joy_Rose]

Thank you for this 🥺 I needed to hear that💖

[@BecauseitMatters]

Awe! 💕💕

[@hcole79]

Exactly what I needed to hear today. As a stay at home/homeschooling mom, it is so hard somedays to continue what I do but God has his plans for me and I will continue his work in my children and my husband.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Yes!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ my mom homeschooled me and my five siblings. I know it was so hard and exhausting at times, but I am SO thankful she did despite how hard it was for her. 💕💕

[@CleaningSanity]

Thank you for this, so much to glean from those verses, I’ve felt very similar to your initial perspective of those verses. I am excited to go about my day with this on my heart as a new perspective !

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh, that is so wonderful! 💕 thank you very much. ❤️

[@lorettavalenta]

Tearing up as I watch this because I've been struggling with the same, I'm due with my second daughter in May, and this season right now has been extra busy with a sick toddler and my husband busy with ranch work. These verses have constantly been on my mind as a mom and wife, and I know the Lord wanted to remind me of them again today as I watched this video! Thank you Sarah and thank you Lord for the humbling reminder I needed today. Another verse I read today was a beautiful reminder and I'll share it here for others. Proverbs 16:3, "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."

[@BecauseitMatters]

It is so wonderful hearing from other women like yourself, about motherhood, the work, the hardships, but also the blessing and fulfillment it entails. It is so encouraging to know so many other women are in this as well. I am so sorry about your toddler being sick. Having sick kids is so exhausting at times. Thank you for this comment, for connecting, and for the lovely Bible verse. I’ve been thinking some about that verse as well lately that says, “do not grow weary while doing good, for in due season you shall reap if you do not lose heart.” ❤️❤️

[@alyssamartinez8068]

I recently listened to an old mothers day sermon by Jack Hyles. What I got out of it is: behind every great man of God there was a mother in the shadows praying for her son. Jesus' own mother was always close by even while he was being crucified. My dad believes mothers will get all the credit in heaven for anything good their children did for the Lord. Its quite a big ministry to fulfill.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness, that is beautiful! ❤️

[@Totallyhotchic]

I was just thinking about you and I felt like I hadn’t seen you on my subscription page lately and then you post this which is perfect because I’ve been struggling with everything you spoke of in this video and feeling run down and fruitless. I felt like I was doing so much everyday and getting little from it. I NEEDED THIS VIDEO! I needed to feel heard, seen and encouraged in the Lord and you summed it all up perfectly. Thank you so much. May God bless you 🧡

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness, praise God! I am so glad it was helpful to someone! ❤️❤️

[@sherrylew519]

Yes, the greatest character building and challenge is within our home to our own family. Most completely fail at this test that is right in front of them. I have some struggles right now and although this may sound a bit strange, I have started putting a couple of scriptures on my bathroom mirror and window in the kitchen that I need to let the Lord help me with. I make them personal with my name and ending it with your Father. I use Chalk Markers. I just need to be confronted with these words regularly since after reading my Bible I usually walk away and forget. Great video! You are in a tough season but the Lord will strengthen you. Glad you are all feeling better!

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness, no, I think that is such a good idea! I don’t make my mine that fancy usually, just a verse scribbled on a piece of paper, and taped to my cabinets in the kitchen or something, but I love having them to look at and read through the day. I definitely struggle with remembering what I read or learned as well if I don’t have reminders.

[@nataliegraves304]

Sent here by habits of a homemaker🌸 , thank you, I really like your videos, it makes me excited to be one, even though I've been one for 5 years

[@nataliegraves304]

Excited to be homemaker*

Agreed .....may the Lord strengthen you.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Thank you so much! 💕💕

[@countryroadtakemehome4822]

I love your honesty. This is such a good reminder that as mothers we are building for eternity.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Awe, thank you. I have to remind myself often! 💕

[@heathermichelle9310]

Just discovered your channel and am in LOVE with everything about it! Definitely plan on watching all of your old videos ☺️ I'm a homeschooling mama of 3 precious babies and praying that God will bless us with more in His time... been a sahm for 7 years now and love it. I've recently had such a desire to absolutely do my best to excell in all areas of homemaking and it has become such a huge passion of mine. It's so encouraging to find like minded mamas to connect with! Keep up the wonderful work! 💙

[@BecauseitMatters]

Wow! This is so cool to hear! 💕💕 thank you so much for taking the time to introduce yourself and share! I love hearing from other women who are living a similar lifestyle. :) ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for your encouragement!:)

[@june102]

All I can say is Thank you for this. It made me cry and fed my soul.❤️

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness! 💕💕💕💕

[@Chloe-rx4tr]

This is amazing. Thank you for this. Mama of 4 here and I have been struggling, thank you for the encouragement!

[@BecauseitMatters]

So glad it could be encouraging!:) 💕

[@rebekahmitchell8551]

My kids have been sick for the past couple of weeks and I can relate to all that you're saying! Thank you for this ♥️

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh, I’m so sorry. Sick kids is so rough!

[@alesha_coleman]

This is very encouraging. Thank you for this! I needed to hear that!

[@BecauseitMatters]

Awe, so happy to hear this!:)

[@howletthome5910]

Very encouraging thank you. Being a mum is hard but I like to remind myself that we don't remember the days we remember the moments.

[@BecauseitMatters]

That’s a beautiful quote!:)

[@mykaelaorwig9646]

Such a sweet, encouraging video!! I actually was just talking to a friend about those verses and saying “Surely the least of these includes my two babies that need soooo many diaper changes and sooo much time!” 😅 Also, this was super applicable to me even today because my husband just got out of the hospital, and now just two days later I came down really sick...survival mode is in full swing in our home as my husband and I struggle to take care of a toddler and a 3 month old while being sick and weak ourselves!! 😅 Thankful for God’s strength in these times.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness, that sounds so very difficult! I am so sorry. Yes!!! That is such an encouraging perspective when it’s hard at times to feel as if it makes a difference long term. 💕💕 Hoping you all are feeling better.

[@gurrrrlish]

have you considered to just plan to hold her to sleep as the routine... or use one of those baby carriers... it is a high demand job for sure.. i have an older son - so its a different stage... worrying is my pastime ....even though he's a superb human being... anyway i switch it to instant prayer when i feel worry strike me ....

[@BecauseitMatters]

I love that you said you instantly put your worry to prayer:) ❤️❤️ I do hold her to sleep sometimes, but often she will go to sleep in her crib pretty well, which is very nice. I have definitely considered getting one of those swinging cribs though! 😂😂

[@themantoothfamily]

I just sent this to so many friends! It is such an amazing encouragement to us mamas & so needed in these crazy days we’re living in. I appreciate your channel so much, thank you for this content. 🪴🤍

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! 💕💕

[@Spencer_Lacey]

So very encouraging & wow did I need to hear this! 🤍🥺

[@BecauseitMatters]

Wow! That is such an encouraging thing to hear! Sometimes I post a video just hoping it will be helpful, but not feeling quite sure if it will actually be beneficial to someone or not, so thank you SO much for the sweet comments on my videos! You all are the best! 💕
