It’s the first Monday of 2014. Is it already a busy, manic Monday? Or is it slow because you are experiencing the post-holiday letdown? Homeschool Ways will help you every Monday in 2014 through a new series called Mom Monday.
Please take two minutes to read some encouraging words or to find a few tips. These short articles will fall in one of five categories: spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and fun.
My life changed 100% when I became a mom. Yours did too, probably. I’m not just referring to the amount of laundry, cooking and cleaning I have to do, now that I care for two extra bodies. I also care for two minds and two spiritual beings.
Personal devotionals and attending church took on a new depth. Working outside the home lost its appeal. Priorities changed. My worldview changed.
Our son’s dedication in 2008
A gentleman who is childless by choice asked me, “Is it a different life, now that you are a mother?” I replied, “It’s not just a different life. It’s a different planet. I experience life with a different focus.”
My life, in fact, is made up of two eras: BC (before children) and AD (after delivery).
Psalm 139:13 says, “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Becoming a mom inspired me with awe and transformed me. I pray I don’t lose that awe when I deal with my children daily.

I like the way you reinterpreted BC and AD. A new whole viewpoint for life. Hugs
