2021/10/13

On today's conversation starter, we are discussing negative self talk. I recently did a bible study based on our thinking. The book we used was titled Get Out of Your Head.

Today on our conversation starter we are discussing grace for your assignment. I heard a sermon by Nona Jones that had me thinking. As moms, we find ourselves doing all the things, I know I have. In doing all the things, it is easy to find yourself overwhelmed and overtaxed, so the question I have for you is, has the grace for that assignment been lifted or has the season for that assignment ended.
