#hotmess This is a popular hashtag and photo caption on our social media pages, isn’t it? Along with #hotmessmama and #hotmessexpress I understand the relatability of this term. The idea is to show that we aren’t and don’t have to be put perfectly together 100% of the time. Some days we don’t get out of… Continue reading The Culture of #hotmess

The Most Important Thing to Carry With You at All Times
We all have different responsibilities, places to go, people we influence, and things to prepare for. But the most important thing to carry with you at all times is the same for each of us, no matter where we are. The love of God. The love of God sees people as souls, either on their… Continue reading The Most Important Thing to Carry With You at All Times
Dear Toddler Mom,
I remember that time in life. The 2’s and 3’s can be so much fun, yet so challenging. I have a 2 year old niece, so I get to experience this again. I honestly love it. If I could just keep her, I would. You get a first row seat to watch your babies grow… Continue reading Dear Toddler Mom,
Motives Matter
We all have things we have to do, but we don’t all operate from the same motives. We could even do the exact same tasks and have different experiences and outcomes based on what motivates us. Your motives and mindset are important. These dictate your attitude. If you are asked to do something that seems… Continue reading Motives Matter

The Loud and Stubborn Woman
Proverbs 7:11 says, “(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:” This verse begins to describe a harlot. We could get into many lessons with this, but today I want to focus on this verse. This phrase stood out to me as I read this. It describes many women today, doesn’t… Continue reading The Loud and Stubborn Woman
Are You Salty?
Matthew 5:13 says, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” This verse is part of the Sermon on the Mount that Jesus preached… Continue reading Are You Salty?
Being a Wife Before Marriage
Proverbs 18:22 says, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Does this mean a man can’t be favored or blessed by God before marriage? Not at all. We see over and over in Scripture that men are blessed and used by God before and after marriage, not just… Continue reading Being a Wife Before Marriage
If/Then
Leviticus 26:3-4 says, “If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.” This promise of blessing was contingent upon their obedience. If they walked… Continue reading If/Then
