If you’re a mama in a postpartum season, keep pampering yourself well, just like you tried to during pregnancy. You have just birthed a baby, but now this first year you are birthing a new mama. And even if your baby is not your first child, you have never been THIS version of you and [...]

Motherhood is Hard AND Wonderful at the Same Time
Motherhood is HARD and WONDERFUL at the Same Time. For some strange reason, our brains like to stay in black-and-white thinking. It likes to see things as either POSITIVE or NEGATIVE, so it can more easily sort through the feelings that come from different experiences. It likes to warn us about potential dangers and also [...]
Peace is Always Available, Will You Choose it?
PEACE is ALWAYS AVAILABLE, Will You CHOOSE It? Jesus said "Peace I leave with you; MY peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do NOT let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27 If Jesus said He ALREADY gave us HIS peace, that [...]
How I know God Doesn’t Take our Loved Ones

We are called to LOVE, not JUDGE. Period. Whenever we find ourselves getting frustrated with someone, it's a clear sign that we've momentarily stepped OUT OF THE LOVE ZONE and into the JUDGMENT ZONE. And the reason it feels so irksome is because it was never how we were created to exist. God IS LOVE. [...]

Make sure you are being intentional about caring for yourself as much as you do caring for your work and service to [...]
Want to Mother From a Place of Peace and Calm Every Day?
Want to mother from a place of PEACE and CALM every day? I can't think of any other calling in this life that requires us to juggle the constant paradoxical flood of emotions other than being a mother. From the very first moment that we hear of our child's mere existence, they are the first [...]
Want to Enjoy True Relationships?
God knows us intimately and we have within us the need to know others intimately, too. It's really something sacred, to be allowed into someone's inner world. It requires vulnerability for both of you. Very often, we have high expectations of those we love. Of course, it's understandable to have some expectations of how they [...]
