Planting Seeds of Faith: What’s in Your Garden?
Like many young moms, I entered motherhood with the desire to do everything “right." I wanted to raise my children to love the Lord and grow into emotionally healthy adults. I claimed Proverbs 22:6 and Deuteronomy 6:7 as verses to live by, committing to raise my children with faith at the center of our lives. Godly parenting is a huge job, and it is more than just a good idea or lofty goal. Godly parenting is a calling, a divine command. Godly parenting is also a guiding prin
My Soul Magnifies the Lord
Mary’s story is truly one of my favorites in the Bible. We can all learn something from her faithfulness and willingness to serve God no matter what. She trusted His plan even when it seemed impossible to walk through. In Luke 1, we see this beautiful song from Mary. After Gabriel has visited her, and she has seen her relative, Elizabeth, she sings; Luke 1:46–47 “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” When Mary speaks these words in Luke 1, sh
Saying "yes" to God might look different than you think
We are so excited to celebrate the marriage of our oldest daughter Hannah early next year! As we have been working on all things wedding planning, I am reminded of something – there is no wedding without a “yes.” The question “will you marry me?” must be asked, and it must be followed by a “yes” for the relationship to move forward. Early in the Christmas Story, a young woman was invited to be a part of God’s plan. Luke 1:28-31 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejo

Learning God's Heart
I am a blessed young mom of three! I have Milo who is four, Maverick who is three, and God gifted us with our first girl this past year, Holland, who is one! I have the opportunity to stay home with these precious babies, and I absolutely love being a mom. It is the hardest, most sanctifying, yet fulfilling calling the Lord has graciously given me. A scripture that I love and that has been a big prayer for me as I parent these babies is Solomon’s prayer in 1 Kings 3:9–10: “Gi
Called to Mother
On my first shift back to work after having my first child, one of the doctors I was working with approached me and was asking how I was enjoying motherhood. In the small talk of how I was already back to work and my baby was 3-months old, he responded, “The days are long, but the years are short.” That was perhaps the first time I ever heard that quote, and I mulled over it the rest of my shift. In the midst of juggling the sleepless nights with work and keeping the househol
The Power of a Praying Mother
When I was a young teen and someone would ask me “what do you want to do one day?”, the first thing that I would think of as my reply would be “to be a mom.” The Lord took that desire of my heart and blessed my husband and I with our three boys - Asher, Micah, and Banner. I always loved being around babies and little children as I grew up. As a young girl, I remember playing with a baby doll and pretending to feed the baby its bottle and wrapping it up in a blanket. I remembe
