Nobody tells you the village is inconvenient.
It’s leaving the dishes in the sink because someone’s at the door. It’s a group text that turns into nine kids in your backyard. It’s holding a baby who isn’t yours while yours climbs the fence.
And it’s worth every bit of it.
Because I’m not just building this for my kids. I need it too. I need women who will tell me the truth, pray when I can’t, and notice when I’ve gone quiet.
The other day a friend sent me a photo: her girls had written my girls’ names in their notebook and circled them. I’m still not over it. They’re learning what friendship looks like from us, every invite we make and every one we let slide.
So here’s my question for you: who’s the mom you keep meaning to text?
Text her today. Not someday, today. Then come tell me in the comments that you did. I want to cheer you on.
And if you want help building yours from scratch, comment STARTERKIT and I’ll send you the Village Starter Kit.
