As I look back over my decades of mothering, I can remember so many times in which I was by myself in my bedroom, pouring my heart out to the Lord — searching for strength, asking for wisdom as life presented me with so many dilemmas I did not know how to handle. I begged Him to meet with me and to hear my cries.
I would leave my room not always changed in my emotions, but resolved in my heart to move in the direction of faith. Sometimes, I felt invisible — did He see me? Did my prayers matter? Did my obedience make a difference? Did my day-in, day-out choices of faithfully serving and cultivating life in my home matter? Every mama, I think, has these questions.

Perhaps one of your children will change history and affect thousands or millions because of your faithfulness today. Your labor is not in vain.
