Isaiah 5:10

Attention, overburdened Mama! Mom life is hard in our modern culture. This plan will help you distinguish between true guilt and conviction from God versus false guilt and condemnation from your unrealistic standards. If you feel like life is win/lose (either the kids win and I lose, or I win and the kids lose), then dive into God’s Word and stop living in bondage.

Isaiah was written thousands of years ago, but the truths found within remain pertinent today. And although it was written to the people of ancient Israel, its wisdom applies to all Christians. Isaiah chapter 5 specifically covers six woes that God wanted to communicate to help us remain on a righteous path for his glory. Read this plan with an open heart and let God change you for his good.

In this 10 day series, you will be encouraged in both your work and your rest, to find meaning and purpose in all parts of your life.
