Ministry Monday MISSIONAL MOTHERHOOD {Hive Resources} #missionalmotherhoodIn honor of Mother’s Day, I’m giving away some of my favorite things that are helping me embrace the call to missional motherhood.

In this giveaway, you won’t find the typical missions tools – maps, printables on peoplegroups, etc. Instead, you will find some solid resources to help you orient your heart toward the mission God has given you as a mother. 

Treasuring Christ when Your Hands are Full

Treasuring Christ by Gloria Furman {giveaway at Hive Resources}

Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full: Gospel Meditations for Busy Moms is a small book that packs a powerful punch. I need to read this book once a day.

If you’re struggling to find joy in the seeming unending tasks of motherhood, this book is for you. In it, author Gloria Furman helps moms recapture the significance of motherhood – not solely in the activity of mothering – but as an “invitation to worship” the One who created motherhood for himself.

In her reassuring writing style, Fuman walks the reader through the varied and deep implications of the cross for mothering – how grace shapes our view of the mundane and helps us fix our eyes on eternity.

Here’s my favorite quote from the book:

The highest aim of womanhood is being conformed to the image of Christ says author Gloria Furman {Hive Resources}

 True Beauty

Enter to win a copy of True Beauty by Carolyn Mahaney at Hive Resources #missionalmotherhoodMore than anything, the changes and demands of motherhood have reshaped how I view beauty both in myself and others. Because my budget and schedule allocate very little to primping & preening, I thought I’d surpassed the beauty obsession long ago.

But True Beauty by Carolyn Mahaney and Nicole Whitacre revealed to me how deeply embedded my desire to be lovely has impacted my daily walk…and it wasn’t very pretty.

In this book, you won’t find any guilt trips or lectures. Nor will you find any set rules for hemlines or definitions for modesty. You will find a celebration of the truly Beautiful One who created beauty and calls us to delight and walk in His beauty.

You’ll find answers for how redemption changes our need for self-glory (our heart) an our taste in beauty (our behavior).  Every mother should read this book, because it will help her view beauty in is proper Christ-glorying perspective. For mothers of daughters, I can think of no better Mother’s Day present to help in combating the world’s-obsession with self.

Here’s my favorite quote from the book:

Cup of Hope Coffee

Cup of Hope #Coffee company - Entertaining with purpose {Once a Month #Hospitality at Hive Resources}

My coffee drinking habit has historic roots. Some of my most precious memories involve sipping on steaming cups of joe while visiting family or catching up with sweet friends over lattes.

So, when I found Cup of Hope Coffee, I was able to marry two of my favorite things: coffee and missions.

Founded by a former international missionary to the Himalayas, Cup of Hope Coffee gives 15% of their gross revenues to international missions.

They also partner to plant new churches in hard and unreached areas of the world, while fighting poverty by facilitating partnerships fair trade local farmers, offering leadership and entrepreneurial development tools, and more.

As if motherhood didn’t already generate a need to drink coffee, I now have a legitimate excuse to drink more!

Want to win a set of all these missional motherhood resources? Crossway Books is giving away 2 sets of True Beauty and Treasuring Christ to 2 lucky Hive Resources Readers. And because I love ya, I’m throwing in a pound of Cup of Hope beans for each winner!

Enter below (U.S. residents only). Contest IS OVER – winners announced below! Congrats to the winners!

    How fun Melissa! As you know, I’ve been walking with God through some motherhood issues. It can be a struggle. It can also be an incredible experience seeing Him work! (I wrote a post about it this past Saturday.)

    My favorite missional tool is our family’s picture book of friends who are missionaries. We like to look through it, tell stories, and pray for them.
    Thank you for your encouragement, Melissa!

    I’m not a mom yet, but my favorite tool for preparing for that someday is the blogs I follow. Hive Resources, GraceLaced.com, and DesiringVirtue.com all speak to the heart of a mother who is first and foremost a Christ follower. Even though I’m not a mom yet, it is encouraging to read these and apply them to my current role as a teacher, and look forward to the blessing of my own children in the future!

    Thank you for encouraging moms to be missional and to extend grace to their children! I really needed to hear (read) this today; it was definitely a trying day with two little ones!

    I love organizations like Compassion International and World Vision…They make it easy for us to put other cultures, groups, places on our hearts and minds. We can reach out without packing up our family (and maybe that will happen someday). But when you’re not in that season, organizations like these make is easy to still serve beyond our own country.

    Prayer is the tool I use to help me embrace and fumble my way through motherhood. It’s a hard job but I know I can do it with God helping me along! Thanks for this giveaway! Happy Mother’s Day to you!! 🙂
