What is Momdry?

What is Momdry? Is it a real thing? The Urban Dictionary defines it  as “laundry only a mom can do.” It goes on to say, “It is a highly sought after trait bestowed upon a woman as soon as she gives birth.  I would say, “Momdry is the many loads of things that it seems only a mom can do!” It is  is all the things that need to be done and all the many things that go undone. Some of those things are sweet, some are fun, and a lot of them are not so glamorous. The baby has to be dressed, the hair has to be combed, the doctor has to be called, lunch has to be made, the photo has to be taken, the dog has to be walked, the poop has to be scooped, the trip has to be planned, the clothes have to be washed and so on and so forth. Yes, these things can be mundane, and overwhelming, but they can also be very rewarding. The amount of  love that goes into the completion of these things is beautiful.  Even when these things go undone God’s grace abounds. All that we do allows us to see how perfectly imperfect we are.  It allows us to have joy in both the lessons taught and learned along the way! The Loads don’t look the same for each of us, but they make us aware of our need for a Savior. 

I am so grateful that God has revealed to me who I am supposed to be!  I have been stagnant for way too long! I sit here in tears as I write this post because God has been urging me for far too long to move, but the many loads that I carried had me frozen in fear! This fear told me that I wasn’t good enough.  It told me that no one cared. It told me that I was a failure. It told me that what I was doing or was going to do was of no importance.  It didn’t allow me to fully embrace who I was or who I am in Christ Jesus. Fear has been a bully that has hindered my faith and my growth for much of my life . Today, I know that I am a daughter of a King and my Father did not give me a spirit of fear! I know this because Isaiah 41:10 tells me so. I don’t have to fear because He is with me and will strengthen me, help me and hold me with His righteous hand. So, today I say, “MOMDRY is a thing because it is what God has called me to!” It has allowed me to open my eyes and be grateful for the mundane, sometimes overwhelming, yet very rewarding thing that is my life. MOMDRY is imperfectly me and you! The “loads” will always be there and whether they get completed or not my prayer is that I will always be reminded to carry them to the Father.
