During the busy holiday season moms and those in m

During the busy holiday season moms and those in ministry carry a heavy mental load. But I’m learning we can let some of the perfectionism and weight of responsibilities go. You don’t have to carry it all, it doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s ok if your kids only want to eat chocolate instead of listening to the Advent story, if you have to say no to hosting or attending a party, if you put gifts in bags instead of wrapping them. The joy of Christmas is found in slowing down, in appreciating the wonder of the season, instead of rushing around trying to create magic✨So I’m saying no to some things, some parties, decorating that gingerbread house, and keeping our home spotless. The Christmas cards will be late and I may not bake anything, but that’s ok. Jesus is found in those still small moments lighting the Advent candles, watching a silly Christmas movie with my son, staying in my pajamas a little longer. You have permission to do Christmas in a way that serves you✨Where can you lean I to rest this holiday season? ✨#christmas #busy #motherhoodunplugged #slowdown #motherhoodchristmas #holidays #tistheseason #rest #presentoverperfect #saynotoperfection #advent #merrychristmas #loveisallyouneed #mentalload #mommentalhealth #mommentalload

I love our Holiday cards! Except for the fact that in my rush to get them out I printed the wrong saved draft and we are now The Anderson’s instead of The Hendricksen’s 😱🙈🤪 So please just ignore the error- it’s been a busy holiday season— trying to give myself grace 🙏🏻😂 and send me your new addy if you want one! 😇.

Hi Friends! It's been a while since I did a Friday

Hi Friends! It's been a while since I did a Friday Introduction: I'm Sarita, author, life coach, former missionary, compassion fatigue and grief expert and now a podcaster to my new podcast called Missionary Life on Apple and Spotify🔥I've traveled the world and at 24 moved to Uganda to start an NGO, where I lived for 7 years. I'm an Enneagram 2w1, a book lover, and obsessed with all things wine and cheese🔥I'm Latina and I've lived in Puerto Rico for 3 years and love spending days at the beach and exploring the island and have just taken up paddleboarding this year. I adore Latin music and have been known to dance like it's no one's business🔥I'm a mother to a sweet 5 year old boy named Atlas after years of infertility and miscarriages and love collecting shells and sea glass with him. I'm into conscious parenting and love learning and growing. Most of the time you'll find me on my back patio reading or having deep conversations with friends (with wine and cheese of course)🔥My new book Healing Her is coming out in June 2024 and I can't wait to get it into your hands!🔥Tell me a little about you!.

This post is for the new mother, the postpartum mama, the mother overwhelmed at her list of to do's, or parenting a baby or toddler. I've been there. I know what it feels like to feel as though you are failing at every turn. But you're not! You're the exact mother your child needs, and you are rising, becoming, a better version of yourself, you are transforming into the woman you always longed to be. I pray this poem finds you where you are and meets the deepest longings of your heart today❤️

EXCITING NEWS! I’m launching a podcast in Januar

EXCITING NEWS! I’m launching a podcast in January called Missionary Life which will be all about how to remain physically spiritually and emotionally healthy while serving on a mission. Whether you’re in ministry, missions or being a missional mom, you’ll find practical tools to thrive in your purpose.

And I’ll be sharing my personal stories and lessons I’ve learned from my experience in missions and missionary care✨This has been a many year journey for me and for a while I was afraid I didn’t have the bandwidth or technical capacity, but I’m thrilled to finally be doing it in preparation of my book launch next year!✨So please be on the lookout for that on Apple Podcasts and listen and leave reviews. Also if you’re a missionary or work in missionary care, please drop me a note, you just might be my next podcast guest!

Trauma in ministry and in missions is rampant, ranging from vicarious trauma, sexual assault, to spiritual abuse.
It’s important that we heal from these experiences of trauma or we will bring our damaged souls to our next mission. In this article I discuss some practical tools to healing trauma from the mission field. Please give a read and share and as always comment below with your stories. I love to hear from you!https://www.saritahartz.com/healing-missionary-trauma/

God doesn’t waste any of your seasons. If you’re in a painful one, one full of transition, one where you’re busy and don’t feel like yourself, all of it is preparation✨I finally feel I’m entering a season of joy, but it has come after a long season of waiting, of fighting through hurts and darkness. There were days I though anxiety would overwhelm me. And then gradually I woke up to the realization that the season had shifted, and Fod was using all the wounds and healing to provide healing for others✨You are not stuck. Perhaps you can dig deep in this place to find there is good waiting for you, lessons to be learned, healing to take hold of, and faith to root more deeply into✨Please share with me— what season are you in and can you see any gifts where you are?✨.⁣

I hate to say it but “Good intentions are not enough when it comes to God’s calling on your life.” You know you are called to a higher purpose, but often if we undertake our mission ill- prepared or without preparation we are bound to fail or cause harm✨Completing the mission God had for you takes grit and grace, preparing, training, and loads of a teachable spirit and self-compassion. You have to be ready to sacrifice and know what you don’t know yet. In the missions world plenty to out with good intentions only to perpetuate the white savior complex or burn out. They wonder why they couldn’t finish the race God set before them and it’s because they didn’t invest the time and humility up front to be prepared✨I want to help you be successful in your mission and to thrive while doing it.
So read my article on my website today to be prepared for the work you’re called to✨What do you think? Are good intentions enough?✨.

I often get asked the question: “How do I prepare for missions or global work?” I know within that question lies a heart that wants to do well, that wants to be successful and not do harm, that wants to be remain on the field long term and avoid compassion fatigue and burnout✨I love that heart and as much as I want to help missionaries heal I want to educate them and prepare them too! I’ve been doing missions for over 10 years and I’ve learned lessons along the way for how we can do it better. So if that’s you then this article is for you!✨Check it out and I want to hear your comments what you’ve learned loving and living overseas✨

Unpopular opinion: As a working mom, I often feel

Unpopular opinion: As a working mom, I often feel pulled between these two tensions: the desire to create and the desire to be there for my family as a wife and mother. Our society often demands we choose, it tells us we can't do both and that we must be either Suzy homemaker, or a workaholic mompreneur. But I think we've been sold a lie🔥God placed dreams in your heart He wants you to pursue, even in the midst of motherhood. You have a call on your life, and ignoring it only leads to depression and dissatisfaction. I know, I've been there. Somehow I'm finding a third path, to do both. It isn't easy, it requires everything from me--writing during nap times, juggling the domestic load while going after my career. But I wouldn't have it any other way👏My anxiety and depression decreased once I was able to admit to myself I wanted to be both and began carving out a path for myself that resembled my heart. So don't allow the world to pigeon-hole you, find that third way and become your truest self🔥For more tips on being a woman on a mission who tends to her family, check out the link in my bio for a free ebook.#womenonamission #Godlycalling #mompreneur #workingmom #stayathomemom #christianmom #christianauthor #haveitall #sacrifice #hopeforwomen #fairplay #chooseyourself #betruetoyourself #christianblogger #christianwriter #writersofig #freeebook #loveyourslf #selfcompassionjourney #lovewillfindaway #marriedlife #boymom #toddlermom #cyclebreaker #momswhowork #momswhoblog #christianliving #christianquotes #wednesdaymotivation

Over the years I’ve received so many emails from lonely solo and single global workers/missionaries and expats about the unique challenges they suffer through because of being single or without church support✨But while being a solo missionary can be incredibly difficult, there are some benefits which I’m sharing below in my blog✨Have you ever been a solo missionary? If so how did it affect you?

With so many new followers I thought I’d take a minute to introduce myself! I’m Sarita, a Latinx author of books, one which will be published called Healing Her in 2024. I’m also a missionary and mothers life coach, an Enneagram 2, an INFP, a speaker, and I live in Puerto Rico. I have a blog I’ve been writing for over 15 years!✨Some fun facts about me is I’m a Christian and my passion in life is to see missionaries and mothers walk in emotional, spiritual, and physical health. I help people heal from trauma, compassion fatigue, and ptsd. I’ve healed my body of adrenal fatigue and I’m practicing self-care daily. I believe we don’t have to live overwhelmed and burned out but can learn tools for resilience✨I’m a working mom, book lover and enjoy wine, deep conservations, hiking, camping, traveling, and kitchen dancing with my 5 year old son Atlas. I served in Uganda for 7 years and went through a lonely transition of re-entry in 2013✨I believe that if we heal ourselves we will be a gift to the world✨Tell me about yourself!✨👇🏻💗

I lived in Uganda 7 years running a non profit alongside my Ugandan partners, and I witnessed the harmful effects of the white savior complex in missions. The white savior complex is prevalent among missionaries, the church, and humanitarian workers and it is simply the belief that white people are here to save, help, teach and protect their non-white counterparts💔Sadly, Renee Bach was one of these missionaries who opened up a medical clinic in Jinja, Uganda even though she had no formal medical training. The results were horrifying with over 100 malnourished babies and children dying under her care💔Her ministry Serving His Children came under fire when an advocacy group @nowhitesaviors tried to bring a criminal lawsuit against her by the mothers whose children had died or made disabled💔Please give a read and share of my following article so we can raise awareness about these issues. May we become learners, know better and do better❤️https://www.saritahartz.com/why-the-white-savior-complex-is-so-dangerous-in-missions/If you have a story of witnessing or being part of white savorism pls comment below👇🏻🙏🏻
