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?

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,
Arise & Build
What is God asking you to build as a Christian, wife, and mother? Your faith? Your home? Your testimony? The heritage you are leaving for your children and grandchildren? I believe now, more than ever, women are under attack. Our femininity and place in the home are mocked and belittled. It is time to arise… Continue reading Arise & Build
But Will You Let Him?
As wives, we have this idea that submission to our husbands means we lose who we are. Biblically, that is not true. Submission is really just saying yes to God, by saying yes to our husbands and letting them have the final say. It is letting them walk out the authority and responsibility God has… Continue reading But Will You Let Him?
Birthday Reflections
Today, I turn 30. The chapter of my 20’s has closed. The Lord allowed many firsts, lasts, experiences, blessings, and accomplishments in my 20’s. I am blessed beyond measure! Many of you know the hymn “Count Your Many Blessings.” One line in there says to name your blessings one by one. Have you done that… Continue reading Birthday Reflections
Saying “Yes” in 2023
I enjoy the excitement and expectancy of a new year. It feels like a fresh start, changes are coming, and goals are being set. And I can start recovering financially from Christmas and a child’s December birthday (Hallelujah!). If this was a challenging year for you, it feels like a breath of fresh air to… Continue reading Saying “Yes” in 2023
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
What Do We Really Deserve?
I absolutely dislike, maybe even hate, the word “deserve.” I don’t think this word or mindset has any place in the vocabulary of a Christian. I am trying to be careful here. I am a very black-and-white person as most of you know. Something either is right or it’s not. I don’t have a lot… Continue reading What Do We Really Deserve?
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
Have You Gone Back To Fishing?
Peter had denied the Lord three times, he was in a low place, and the only thing that seemed to make sense now was to go back to what he knew: fishing. When he said “I go a fishing” in John 21:3, this was not just an afternoon fishing trip. I really believe he… Continue reading Have You Gone Back To Fishing?
