  • Summary

  • Do you long to be a more intentional mom but you feel overwhelmed or weary or just don't have a clear path to the next step toward a successful family life? The Practically Speaking MOM, Val Harrison, is here to bring some order to the chaos and some focus to the confusion. You don’t have to be the perfect mom to have a strong family, you need a plan! Join author, speaker, mother of seven, and grandma of two, as she shares wisdom and encouragement about the six areas of an intentional mom's life. You'll learn from her years of experience, successes, mistakes and redemption. Val and her husband Rich, married 28 years, have three married children, two more in college, and two in her homeschool. This podcast covers all stages of parenting, from babies to toddlers to teens and beyond. Val wants to encourage you to not become weary in your work as an intentional mom, "Even with all its unique personalities, imperfections and scars; your family is God's masterpiece. Your efforts matter in this worthy journey of motherhood." Galations 6:9 says, "Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time you'll reap a harvest if you do not give up." Let's walk this marathon journey of motherhood TOGETHER, right here, every Monday on the Practically Speaking MOM podcast, the place for an intentional mom to build a strong family.

    May 6 2024

    OBSTACLES in our child are really OPPORTUNITIES

    1. Opportunities to discover your child's unique design and giftings
    2. Opportunities to bond as you discover and face life together.
    3. Opportunities to teach your child how to navigate life.

    We mamas work hard every day at reaching our children's hearts. It's a BIG, important job, and boy, oh boy, are there a lot of obstacles that stand in the way of our mission.

    When it all starts feeling too big and too overwhelming, what can we focus on to reach their hearts?

    In "Clarity for the Mission of Motherhood," we learn steps to SIMPLIFY our mission of partnering with God in removing obstacles that stand in the way of reaching the hearts of our children!


    Let's talk about it TOGETHER in this new series, Clarity for the Mission of Parenthood.

    Apr 15 2024

    We mamas work hard every day at reaching our children's hearts. It's a BIG, important job, and boy, oh boy, are there a lot of obstacles that stand in the way of our mission.

    How can we live a lifestyle of meeting the needs of our children's hearts. We have these messages that we want to reach our children's hearts, but it seems there are obstacles that stand in the way.

    Some obstacles include: heart wounds, clashing family dynamics, walls that they have around their heart, warped thinking about themselves (false labels), discouragement, sin, and more.

    We talk about the lyrics from the song, Maria, from the Sound of Music. This song mirrors what we experience as parents. There are three hidden special messages in this song that help bring home the point of episode 213. Ultimately my child is a magnificent masterpiece, even if they have a lot of ways they still need to grow and improve. How can we help them grow without discouraging them? We talked about it in this episode. We are going to look at how God helps us grow one small step at a time even though we have so many ways we need to grow. God has clarity about the true mission for our growth.

    When it all starts feeling too big and too overwhelming, what can we focus on to reach their hearts?

    In "Clarity for the Mission of Motherhood," we learn steps to SIMPLIFY our mission of partnering with God in removing obstacles that stand in the way of reaching the hearts of our children!

    Let's talk about it TOGETHER in part two of this new series, Clarity for the Mission of Parenthood.
