"You've got this, mama!"

This is an encouragement that moms with young children often hear, whether on social media, mommy blogs, or among friend groups. On the surface, it's well-intentioned enough, but for the mom who is overwhelmed, sleep-deprived, and living daily in the trenches of a demanding parenting season, it can fall flat. Sarah Hopkins, writer and mama of two, encourages readers to embrace a new encouragement—You don't got this, mama! But God most certainly does. And that's a very good thing.

Starting with the beauty of the creation account and then the fall of mankind and how that single event affects everyone, Sarah offers a biblical perspective of embracing our weaknesses in motherhood. She encourages moms to see that the gospel is enough in all circumstances—from sleep deprivation to hormonal shifts to the string of mundane days that moms can find themselves in. No matter what season of motherhood you may find yourself in, "You Don't Got This, Mama!" is a new encouragement that will point you to the rest and purpose God has for this beautiful calling He has given you.
