Day 30 of the 30 Day Mom Challenge! An Endless Makeover And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. —Philippians 1:6 ESV It’s time. Your makeover is finished. All that is left to do is to reveal the new you. It is my fervent prayer that God has used this thirty-day challenge to do a radical work in your heart and that the difference between your “before” and your “after” is dramatic. That might mean that you have embraced your role with renewed excitement and commitment to view motherhood as a mission field. Maybe God has challenged you on some bad habits or attitudes and is reshaping you to be more like Him as you parent. Perhaps you’ve developed the habit of reading your Bible daily. Hooray! God has promised that His Word will never return void; it will always bear fruit in your life! He has also promised that He will continue to work with you as you learn to parent His way. Philippians 1:6 promises that He will continue to build on the good work He started in your heart until it is complete. You can be sure that He will continue to shape you into a mother after His own heart. In that way, your mom makeover isn’t ending; it is just beginning! So . . . what now? The most important next step is to continue to seek God’s heart for motherhood. If you haven’t already done so, grab a copy of my book Beyond Bath Time. It’s chock full of God’s Word, and I promise it will shore you up to mother with kingdom priorities in mind. May I also suggest a group makeover? Grab a group of mom friends, and make a plan to pray and read God’s Word together. You can use this makeover as your guide, launch a book club together, or simply make a pact to meet regularly to pray together. You can find some great resources for praying with other moms at MomsInTouch.org. Most importantly, keep clinging to the Vine. Make nurturing your relationship with Christ your first priority. Action Step: Make a plan. Specifically, what steps will you take to continue to grow tomorrow? Will you start a new Bible study? Launch a prayer group? Write the verses from this makeover on note cards to memorize them? Don’t put off developing a game plan. Figure out ways that you can continue to saturate motherhood in God’s truth. Then hop on our blog at BeyondBathTime, and leave us a comment to tell us about it. A Mom’s Prayer Jesus, thank You for working in my heart this month. I want to mother according to Your truth. Help me to continue to grow in You and to treat motherhood as a sacred role.
