One of my new favorite writers is Glennon Doyle Melton. She wrote a book titled, Carry On Warrior, and she writes a blog titled, Momastery. She is a Christian, a mother, and a recovering addict; therefore, she has a lot of wisdom! I loved the blog post I read today so much, I decided to share it with my church community. Below is an excerpt, and you can click on the link below to read the whole thing. By the way, the conversation in the excerpt is between her and her daughter, Amma, who has been wearing a green blob on her forehead for days!
"So I said, 'Sister. I give up. What’s going on with the green blob?'
And she looked up at me and said, 'I’m a CHILD OF GOD, mom.' She pointed to her forehead and said, 'My green is to Remember. So I can be brave.'
You guys. She’s marking herself. She’s recreating Ash Wednesday every morning. She’s making herself a SACRAMENT, which is an outward reminder of an invisible truth. Every morning she’s saying to herself and the world: I’m GOD’S. SO I CAN BE BRAVE.'"
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. REMEMBER. AND BE BRAVE!
In Christ,
