Our brain and it’s job to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy is what creates the feeling of resistance - the force against the change or thing we need or want to do.

And we need to just identify it that way – notice it, name it, find a way to move through it.  Saying to ourselves, "Oh, this is just my brain resisting, but my brain doesn’t always know what’s best for me.  I can move through this."

How do we express our love for our spouse?  Do we wait until Valentine's Day and do what the world tells us - cards, flowers, and candy or is there a deeper, more meaningful way that love requires expression?

I was thinking about what episode 200 could look like and I decided to keep it simple.

My marriage probably isn’t much different than most of yours.  We started off with rose colored marriage glasses and then the struggles came – and we had many.  And they were serious and didn’t resolve quickly - probably just like your marriage.

My children aren’t special unicorns.  They weren’t always perfectly behaved and unfortunately, neither was I in the way I interacted with them.

But here are some truths I believe about marriage, motherhood, and my calling.

Sibling rivalry is jealousy, competition and or fighting between brothers and sisters.

Some experts say that sibling rivalry comes from children competing for their parent’s love. Others say the children's goal is to get their parent’s attention.

Whether it’s about love or attention it’s ultimately about competition.

Procrastination makes you feel overwhelmed and incapable of taking charge of your life which, in turn, destroys your self-confidence. 

But when you say no to the short, immediate negative feeling of taking charge of your life, making the right decision to do the thing that needs to be done at the time you scheduled, THAT will make you feel strong, competent, and capable.

Judging others gives us a sense of control – even if that control is only in our thoughts.

But when we judge others, it says more about us than about those we judge.

We’re unconsciously judging ourselves and projecting that judgment onto others.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of protecting our child's innocence, but I begin with thoughts on why it is important to protect our own innocence!  Do you want a home full of joy, beauty and Truth?  It begins with taking from the world what you need, and then becoming very intentional about what you don't take in.

This isn’t just about keeping your house clean; it’s about forming the human spirit in virtue. The chores are simply the vehicle for deeper more important lessons and growth-

Why is clearing the table or sweeping the floor so important to child’s well-being? One reason is that children feel competent when they do their chores.  They feel capable.

When we see it that way, we can see the importance of the mission.

It is not optional. You will be letting your children down if you don’t teach them these skills.

Why do we feel unfulfilled?

Maybe it’s because we’re not all in - where we are isn’t where God wants us.

Or maybe we’re not all in because where God wants us isn’t where we want to be.

And rather than asking the question, “What does God want of me?” we stay stuck in the feeling of unfulfilled.

We feel unfulfilled because we haven’t embraced God’s plan for us.

We’ve tried to create our own plan.

We don’t need to have a plan – God has the plan for you.
