The Hidden Trap of Motherhood (and More)

Each Friday I post at [Not Alone Mom ](http://www.notalonemom.com/blog-test/)with [Kristin Nelson ](https://brendayoder.com/contributors/)as part of her ministry team. This week's post is a personal one I processed as a woman with insecurities[](http://brendayoder.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/photo-1.jpg) - The Hidden Trap of Motherhood. Perhaps you can relate. Feel free to read it [here.](http://www.notalonemom.com/2013/01/the-hidden-trap-of-motherhood/)

If you missed this week's parenting post, you'll want to read it [here.](https://brendayoder.com/2013/01/23/parenting-series-child-of-mine/) It's written by a guest writer, Amy Mitchell, who poignantly shares her journey as a mother of a child with ADHD. Don't miss it!

If you haven't read any of the inspiring stories shared here, feel free to catch up on them [here. ](https://brendayoder.com/inspiring-stories/) Next weekend, I will be sharing a powerful story of a mother who found herself addicted to painkillers and her journey out of addiction. You won't want to miss it.

On a personal note, a dear friend of mine shares her recent journey with cancer on her blog [here.](http://ingridlochamire.com/2013/01/18/body-on-loan-from-god/)

I am thankful for you, the readers and visitors who share life beyond the picket fence with me. If you aren't familiar with part of my journey, I recently [wrote about it ](http://unchainedfaith.com/2013/01/16/guest-post-hope-behind-the-picket-fence/)as a guest writer for Amy Mitchell. Lastly, if you haven't joined Life Beyond the Picket Fence on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/beyondlpicketfence?ref=hl), I'd love for you to come and visit. I try to post inspiring, challenging, or humorous things throughout the week that I don't have time to blog about. Come and connect if you wish.

May God supply all of your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus today (Phil 4:19). If I can lift you in prayer, feel free to contact me at yoderbl@gmail.com.

Have a great weekend,
