The Mind of a Mama: Guarding Your Thoughts Like a Fortress

It’s not just about what curriculum you’re using—it’s what you’re believing about yourself while using it.

Let that sink in, sis. You could have the most Pinterest-perfect homeschool setup and still feel like a failure if your mindset is under attack.

Taking Thoughts Captive Isn’t Optional — It’s Survival.

2 Corinthians 10:5 reminds us to “take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.”
That’s not just cute scripture to throw on a mug—it’s a straight-up battle strategy.

Because let’s be real: there’s a constant inner monologue whispering things like:

• ❌ “You’re not doing enough.”
• ❌ “Your child is behind.”
• ❌ “If you were a better mom, your house wouldn't be this chaotic.”

Sound familiar?
That voice is not God. That voice is the same voice in the garden at the beginning of time, and he speaks not the truth. That voice is what happens when we forget to guard our minds like the fortresses they are.

Lies vs. Truth: What Are You Letting In?

• ❌ “I’m not doing enough.”
  ✅ “God has equipped me for this child, this season, and this purpose.”
