The Holy “No”

Hey mamas! I’m taking a short break from running the Agape Moms blog and socials to focus on what God has placed before me in face to face ministry with Agape Moms, training women to start Agape Moms, other exciting things in the season of preparation and of course my family, which is always #1.

I think it’s important to learn to say “no” to what we need to say no to, in order to say “yes” to what God is calling us to. Lots of times the “no’s” are GOOD things too. I’m learning to make sure the love of God and others, not the fear of man or just desiring to do it all is what motivates my yes and my no.

I wasn’t even going to post this announcement, but then I thought that somebody else might need to hear this too. The holy “no” is an important spiritual discipline. God’s best for us isn’t running so hard in every direction, always needing to do or be more things, this will burn us out and never quench the God-shaped hole that only JESUS can fill, not personal achievement, or never being able to say no.

As a recovering people pleaser and achievement oriented person, I try to ask myself more and more, Lord, what do YOU want me to be pouring myself into right now? Who do you want me to serve today? What do you want me to do, or not do? It’s important we don’t let others or even our own hearts answer these questions for us, but rather, be obedient to the LORD.

During this Agape Moms socials break, I invite you to visit our website and pray about partnering with us by either submitting a gospel-centered blog post or joining our growing international team of moms who are training to start their own local Agape Moms. There have been SO MANY incredible guest blog posts over the past 7 months that I hope you’ll check out as well. Learn more at www.AgapeMoms.Online, link in bio.
