Momistry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798424231223)

How can I be a good mom when most of the time I'm tired, lonely, and, frankly, absolutely overwhelmed?

We all feel this way sometimes. Seasons of being a mom can be exhausting. Caring for small children (or teenagers) can leave us lonely and, for some, even battling depression. The endless diapers, laundry, dishes, homework, meals, and taxi driving can be overwhelming. God doesn't want His daughters struggling with and drowning in motherhood; He has given them these children to raise on purpose for His purposes. God wants to empower and partner with His daughters in their Momistry.

This book is packed with numerous practical tools, backed up with encouraging Scriptures. Patty Noel-also known as Mom, Grandma, Pattymom, and Momma Patty-shares her stories of parenting five children over the course of more than 34 years. You will laugh, cry, and probably be downright shocked at her real and raw life lessons (or, as she calls them, "tools for your toolbelt"). Tools like how to:

• Parent children in a culture inundated with sexualization-made even more difficult with the abundance of electronics.
• Protect our children by being a Momma Bear and a safe place for them.
• Be married with children-or be an empowered single mother.

Pattymom shares three decades of humor, hardship, and wonderful life memories. If you're looking to change the trajectory of your family history and leave a legacy for your children, then this book is for you. Together we can successfully walk through this journey in our Momistry.

What others are saying about Patty Noel:

"I've never read a book personally with this much truth. I think the content is great as it covers many very real topics and I believe will reach several different generations to aid in not just Momistry but living a healthy lifestyle in general without feeling like you're being judged or talked at. This book is really needed." -Marsha Garrett, Founder and president of Noble Academy/Lil'Smarties Preschool. (She's also a mom, grandma, foster mom, and adopted mom to many.)
