Being Mama (or Daddy) is hard. Eating and making and making kids eat real food is hard. Living in a way to honor Jesus and raising your children to do so also is hard. Being a wife or husband through the parenting years is hard. All of this is hard. But worth it, and so, so important.
If I can encourage one of you through a bad day of diapers, food all over the floor, tantrums, and stress arguments over what you should make for dinner tonight, then my mission is complete. I know the irrational, icky feelings of 'why did I do this?!'. I know how it can feel like you spend your life cleaning only for things to never be clean. Sometimes I need help through those kind of days too.
Let's remind each other why this is SO worth it, and do this crazy thing called 'Mamahood' together. And let's stay married through it, ok?
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.
(1 Thessalonians 5:11 CSB)

Dear Wife of the Broken Man, You have also been weighing heavily on my heart. So, just like I talked to your broken, unfaithful man and the unprincipled woman he’s with, I want to tell you a few things. First off, I am so sorry this is part of...
Ridiculous expectations often come from peer pressure. Phew. Can you feel the heat, just in those two little, nasty words? Who actually likes peer pressure? I can’t think of anyone, yet everyone has it, to a certain degree. If you think it was...
So, when I wrote this we were over 39 weeks. With Baby Number Two. How in the WORLD did that happen?! I feel like I was just sitting in my old sewing room, the warm summer air blowing through the windows on 3 sides of the tiny room, writing a post...
To the Unprincipled Woman deep in adultery, I’ve had you on my heart for a while now. I’m sure you don’t get a lot of support or encouragement in your new role. Even those with the lowest of morals seem to look down on you. So...
