Google says, “the quality of being worthless or futile.” To use God’s name in a way that is pointless, worthless, or incapable of producing any useful results.

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.

Red Flags
We often hear the term red flag, don’t we? We talk about red flags in people’s behavior as a sign to keep our distance.

Dear Toddler Mom,
