1. Be Positive (Philippians 4:8)

  • Pray that the Lord would help you through the moments where you are in need of patience.

3. Let go of the need to Control (Proverbs 19:21)

  • This is easier said than done! Remember, when we let God control our life, He can do such beautiful things.

4. Listen (James 1:19)

  • Everyone is giving you advice.. you may be tuning it out, but for many getting constant input can be frustrating.

  • Ask the Lord to calm your heart and lean into His word.

9. Nurture your Body (Song of Solomon 4:7/Psalm 139:14)

  • Our sweetest example is Jesus! He took time, alone to spend with the Lord. Even in the midst of this busy season, find just a few minutes to be with the Lord. You will be so grateful that you did!

13. Be Attentive (Matt 13:16)

  • These moments with your new baby will fly! Take everything in. Don’t miss a second to stare at their sweet face and listen to the breath of life, God gave them!
