As a mother, accepting that we aren’t in control is very difficult. During pregnancy you get to keep that precious child with you at all times. But the day comes when the baby is born, and suddenly, everything is a threat. You begin to worry about car accidents, sickness, falls, someone being mean to your… Continue reading Trusting God With Your Children

The Lame Man
I recently read Acts chapter 3 during my devotions and saw the lame man differently. If you are familiar with this story, the man was lame from birth. Later, we read that he was over 40 years old (Acts 4:22). Can you imagine being 40 years old and never standing or walking on your own?… Continue reading The Lame Man
Relying on Jesus
In Luke chapter 5, we see Jesus teaching from the edge of Lake Gennesaret. There were fishermen on the shore washing their nets, which meant they were done fishing. The nets were heavy and large, so cleaning them took a lot of work. He got into Simon’s ship and told him to thrust out a… Continue reading Relying on Jesus
But I’m an Adult!
How often have you said or thought, “But I’m an adult!” How often have you heard someone else say it? Usually, this comes from those who are 18-20 or someone who has been told they cannot or should not do something. Those in the first group try to prove their adulthood, maturity, responsibility, and respectability… Continue reading But I’m an Adult!
Submitting to Your Husband
I will be honest: I don’t know why God keeps putting this on my heart other than simply because someone needs it. Submission is not always easy; society will not encourage this, but it is biblical, and we need it. If you have been in church or Christian circles long, you have heard a message… Continue reading Submitting to Your Husband
Be Poured Out
Often, we say that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Logically, this makes sense. I understand that the thought is that you have nothing to give when you are empty. Being empty could be exhaustion, overwhelm, or fear. When we experience any of those, we freeze. We can’t make a decision or take the… Continue reading Be Poured Out
Think On These Things
What are you thinking about? What have you spent time thinking about this week or this month? Is there a topic or two that is reoccurring? It could be a situation you are stressed about or a conversation you keep replaying in your mind. To think is to have a thought in your mind for… Continue reading Think On These Things
Surviving or Thriving?
I saw a sticker recently that said #survivingmotherhood I get it. Some days are hard. Being a mother is a full-time job. There are challenges nearly every day. There are questions, messes, and tantrums to navigate. You’ve never done this day before. Even if you have multiple children, there are still new challenges you will… Continue reading Surviving or Thriving?
The Tears of Motherhood
The tears of motherhood. There’s so many, aren’t there? We often cry when we find out we are expecting. We cry at the first sight of the baby on the ultrasound or the first sound of the heartbeat. We cry during pregnancy for no reason because of our hormones. We cry at the first movements,… Continue reading The Tears of Motherhood
Your Life Today
Is your life today what you pictured it would be? When you were making goals last year, is this what you envisioned? Did you expect things to be different than they are? Are you comparing your life to someone else’s? It may not be. For some of you, you have faced things you never imagined,… Continue reading Your Life Today
