Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood changes everything. Before kids, you had freedom—quiet mornings, spontaneous plans, uninterrupted thoughts. Now, your days are filled with constant needs, endless noise, and the weight of responsibility. And sometimes, if you're honest, you miss the old you. The lie creeps in: you’re missing out. You see friends traveling, pursuing careers, or simply having a moment to themselves, and it stirs something in you. Discontentment sneaks in, whispering that you’ve lost yourself. That life was better before. But Colossians 3:1-4 reminds us to set our minds on things above. The truth is, you are not missing out—you are walking in a calling. God isn’t rattled by your longing or your weariness. Every moment—messy, mundane, beautiful—is for his glory. The only way for the lie to die is to replace it with truth. You have not lost yourself. You are in his calling.
