You Bet Your Stretch Marks : Finding Beauty and Worth in the Ways Motherhood Marks Our Bodies and Souls by Abbie Halberstadt

Bestselling author Abbie Halberstadt offers encouragement and insight for mamas struggling to remain engaged and hopeful amid the challenges of motherhood. It's easy to be grateful for motherhood when your child is writing "best mama ever" on your birthday card or giving you a great, big hug. But how about when you're scrubbing crayon marks off the wall for the third time in a week or tussling with your teen about curfew . . . again? The all-in enterprise called parenting will test your patience and stretch your capacity like nothing else, but mama-of-ten Abbie Halberstadt is here to remind you that having children is a calling you should never, ever regret or apologize to anyone for. With her trademark candor, relatable humor, and biblically based insight, Abbie will help you keep your eyes fixed on Jesus as you navigate the sometimes-murky waters of motherhood. Even with an eyes-up approach, will you still struggle? Yep. Will it be painful and hard at times? Without a doubt. But will it be worth it? For you? For them? You bet your stretch marks! ?
