  • Emotions and True Love

    Trying to look put together and composed is annoying! This is especially true if you are in the trenches of postpartum depression, raging pregnancy hormones, or dealing with the normal daily stresses of Motherhood. In pregnancy and immediately postpartum, in particular, your hormones can do bizarre things to your mind and body. The affects of…

  • Strength & Provision

    Pregnancy and Motherhood comes with a unique set of fears and worries at each stage. Those fears and worries can easily be consuming. Instead of giving permission to those fears and worries to take root in our hearts, we can be encouraged and strengthend by God’s faithfulness. One of my favorite hymns is “Great Is…

  • In Genesis chapter 3, God shows us that Eve’s judgement for her sin included pain in childbirth as well as the desire to control her husband and usurp his authority even though he has the God-ordained role to have authority over her (speaking of rank in the family, not importance; with that authority the husband…

  • Stretching

    There is nothing like waiting, the unknown, and being taken out of your comfort zone to stretch both your trust and your fulfillment in God. When you first find out that you have a precious little life beginning in your womb that God providentially and graciously decided to open, immediately a mix of emotions rush…

  • Creating Life

    Almost 4 months ago, God blessed my husband and I with a daughter (her name is Grace) and it caused me to reazlize that mothers have an amazing role in growing and bringing new life into the world. We sacrifice our bodies, mind (sanity, haha!), energy, and more to the service of God in carrying…

  • It seems like the Proverbs 31 Woman is talked about (and let’s be real here, often obsessed in becoming) so much more than the Titus 2 Woman. Both the Proverbs 31 Woman and the Titus 2 Woman are excellent descriptions of how God designed women to love and serve their families, communities, and the Church…

  • Compasses

    Compasses, you know, those magnetized instruments that shows us where north and other directions are can be an interesting way to understanding our Christian walk. Besides being tools to navigate terrain they are often used to figuratively describe the navigation of philosophical things. To name a couple of examples: moral compass and life compass (as…

  • Our Anchor

    When we are in a season of change, we are faced with the reality that we are not as much in control as we’d like to think we are. Scary? Yeah, I know. But rather than shake our fists in frustration because we don’t know what is ahead , we can hold onto our anchor…

  • Uncharted Territory

    Many times, our lives can seem like a vast sea of uncharted territories. While drifting, we are holding an unfinished map which we have to navigate through to get to our destination whether that destination is an actual place, a goal, a provision, or even just reaching some level of peace in our hearts.
