Surprise. I am mommy. And lately, I needed to remember that. I started this blog fifteen years ago simply because I needed somewhere to process what God was doing in my heart. But as time goes on and seasons shift, it is amazing how easy it is to forget the “why” behind something. Yesterday, as…

The amount of pressure we place on ourselves as moms is a heavy load. Now combine that with being a Christian mom. Mom guilt thought it was big and bad until it met Christian mom guilt! Somewhere along the way, we started believing that if we love Jesus, we should be doing more, fixing more,…

Even when it feels slow, confusing, or unfair, the waiting God allows in your life is never without purpose. I have never met anyone who enjoys waiting. I think our shared dislike of waiting is one of the common bonds of humanity. The line at the grocery store. Traffic. A returned text message that never…

Sometimes I ask the question quietly,sometimes I ask it out loud. Is it You, Lord?How do I know? I can get caught up in my feelings and emotions so easily. I know what I think is right, but am I actually hearing from God, or am I just hearing myself? I ask Him for a…

A few years ago, when my daughter was ten, she said something that caught me off guard. She told me it felt like God was demanding. Almost egotistical. Why would God want our praise and worship so badly? In the moment, the only thing I could think to say was that He is God Almighty,…

Some days I find myself asking a question I do not always want the answer to. Do I trust God,or do I trust God to do what I asked? As a mom, it is easy to blur the line. We pray for our kids, our marriages, our energy, our finances, our healing. We pray for…
