Super Mom | Abiding Mom |
Does | Is (Psalm 46:10) |
Tries to impress others | Pleases the Lord (Eph. 5:10,Proverbs 29:25) |
Is controlled by an agenda(curriculum, schedule, etc) | Is controlled by the Holy Spirit: (Gal. 5:22-26) (Uses curriculum & schedules as tools for orderliness so she's more free to follow the spirit) |
Her self worth is found in her accomplishments (clean house, perfect kids, the perfect bulletin boards, etc.) | Her self worth is found in an accurate view of who she is in Christ Jesus (Eph 2:10) |
Her peace is found in the “perfect” environment | Her peace is found in Jesus in the midst of any storm (Is 26:3) |
She is discouraged by failure | Failure reminds her that God's strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor. 12:9-10) |
She expects perfection from herself and others | She practices grace with herself and others (Eph 4:32) |
She teaches her kids to be good | She teaches her kids to be Godly (Proverbs 22:6) |
She is frustrated with her lack of spiritual fruit | She abides in Christ and bears much fruit (John 15:5) |
She does things with her children | She builds a relationship with her children (Deut 6:6-7) |
Her perspective is based on what is seen | Her perspective is based on what is unseen (Col 3:2) |
She chooses quantity of activities | She chooses the most excellent Way (I Cor 13) |
