She currently works for the North Carolina department of Public Safety and is an active member of Zeta Phi Beta sorority incorporated.
Today we will have an in-depth discussion with Ashley about Balancing Marriage, Motherhood, and Ministry. Balancing marriage, motherhood, and ministry is no small task. All three of these roles are incredibly important, and the challenge to keep them in balance can sometimes feel impossible.
Balance it is one of those words that often evokes strong reactions from people. There is a wide array of perspectives on balance, ranging from “there’s no such thing as balance” to “balance is entirely possible if you do x, y, and z.”
What balance is not: balance is not “having it all together.”
Balance does not mean that all areas of your life are exactly aligned to your satisfaction 100% of the time. Balance does not mean that you never feel stressed or have days that are chaotic.
Balance means an overall sense of wellness in your life in all areas. It means that you are spending your time, and your life, in the areas that matter most to you. It means that you are, most of the time, operating out of a place of contentment instead of chaos.
First, I believe it starts with knowing what your core values are. In order to keep things in balance, you need to know what your end goal is. If you are not clear on what things are most important to you, and how you want your life to look, then you will probably always feel out of balance.
Balancing marriage, motherhood, and ministry involves taking care of yourself as a mother.
If you are a wife and mom in ministry (paid or volunteer), and you sometimes feel pulled in many directions, then this podcast is for you.
