It’s easy to think what we need to survive as mothers is that group of other moms in the trenches.

Mommy blogs and parenting sites offer advice about finding that ‘Mom Tribe,’ and you can download apps for meeting mom friends near you. You can join Facebook groups or follow Instagram tags of mothers with similar philosophies or life circumstances from the safety of your phone. With these dynamics, the shared experience of motherhood seems like the key to really belonging and understanding each other.

Whether you’re doing dishes or doing desk work, God has called all moms into the service of Christ within the context of their particular families. No matter what kinds of work we do, we can reflect the image of God who is always at work in the world and in our lives.
