Did you know Mission of Motherhood is on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter? You can also follow me on Pinterest and LinkedIn, too.

Today we’re wrapping up our Friday collaboration series “Trading Lies for Truth,” and I’m excited to share Lily’s story from @thehybridhome. You may remember this blog is run by two mama friends, and I just love how they share the load and the love in their own ways.

One of my goals for 2019 is to have a more consistent and robust prayer life. I got tired of my own drive-by genie-in-a-bottle prayers: “Dear God help so-and-so, she’s really struggling. Amen.”

Since I enjoy writing things down, fun pens, and doodling, a prayer journal seemed like a good way to combine all my loves with my new goal. This idea didn’t come to me until January 29, so I’m only a few days in, but I’m going to share what I’ve got so far.

A friend shared this with me this quote from “New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional” by Paul David Tripp: “Most of what we call fellowship never really rises to the level of the humble self-disclosure and mutual ministry that make fellowship actually redemptively worthwhile.” Recently at the Mothers Ministry, we discussed meaningful friendships and building our village: a fellowship of moms, and women, rooted in Scripture.
