“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.”
-Psalms 68:19

In Summer
our personalized, eight week summer study!

generational grace
Find hope in the truth that there is nothing you can do, or nothing your parents have done, that is stronger than the redemption and will of the Lord.

seasons
The hardship of right now has a purpose. The hard thing you are walking through has a purpose too. God is using this season that I am in for something greater than what I can see in this moment. I keep asking for Him to change it but He’s using it to change me.

to the mom who feels like a loser…
What the Enemy whispers to me and what others may say or think about me cannot become my inner script.

help is a good thing
Galatians 6:2 “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
forgiveness
Because of His great mercy we can always start fresh.

losing myself
“I don’t even know who I am anymore,” I prayed this week. “I feel like I’ve lost myself in motherhood.”

the horizon of ever after
“I need to know that life is not meaningless, my work is not in vain, and the night is almost over. I need to experience something far bigger than myself. Something grand, solid, divine. We must set our gaze upon the horizon of ever after with Jesus.” - Gloria Furman, Missional Motherhood

on body image
Let’s not let our physical appearance keep us from the main mission— knowing Christ and making Him known.

embrace the mess
God is using parenthood to lovingly remind me that I can’t do it all. I can’t keep everything in tidy little boxes. In fact, on most days, the boxes are scattered all over the house and the yard and all of them are on fire.
And yet— the world keeps spinning.
30-day gentleness challenge
Today I am starting the 30 day gentleness challenge: nothing but kind speech and calm tones for thirty days.

a time for gentle, a time for discipline
As believers, our primary authority on everything, including parenting, needs to be the word of God.

on marriage
Marriage won’t always be fair. It won’t always be easy. But we die to ourselves to truly love others. By doing so we find life.
