Believe me when I say, I did not think I would be such a breastfeeding enthusiast. In fact, while I certainly could have had a worse experience, my breastfeeding journey was still stressful and difficult. Between oversupply causing terrible colic-like symptoms and babies' food sensitivities limiting what I could eat, there were times I was …
My kids' overflowing joy in that 15-minute session opened my eyes. We get so caught up in tasks and responsibilities. How often do we pause
Why is it so difficult to let that sentence end there? I can't tell you how many times I've heard "but it's worth it" tagged on to any conversation I have had about this with other Moms. And I say "Moms" specifically because I honestly have not heard any of my male counterparts explain away …
If my kids get on my nerves, I imagine it would be all too easy for God to get annoyed with us. Instead he shows us grace and chooses to be patient with us. In the same way that parents often need to make unpopular but good choices for their children, God has the big picture in mind when he hears our whining (ahem, prayers) and sometimes responds with something we don't want to receive.
Image source: Knowing-Jesus.com I've thought about this blog a lot over the past two years - how I should be using this "time off" to write. Yet I could never bring myself to open up a page and begin. Maybe it's because my writing always had a conclusion, an encouragement through personal experience with God's …
This is the first time I have felt or heard stillness since my last week at work. I'm sitting in my parents' home alone for the first time in years without any assignments to complete, laundry to fold, or meals to make. My daughter is out with her grandparents at the park. I feel as …
I'm a risk-averse worrier that seeks to problem-solve and plan her way into controlling a situation. And in full recognition of his daughter's reluctance to do anything beyond her comfort zone, God used the difficulties of this past year to ease my heart and build my faith.
First, watch this. Before I breastfed, I had my own biases and preconceived notions. To be very honest, I was a little "weirded out" by the concept. This journey with my baby was something I never could have anticipated. I hated it at first - being constantly at the "beck and call" of my baby …
Support. The look in another’s eye that says they see the potential in your dreams. The interest there in seeing you excel greater than where you are; the prompting that pushes you into your destiny further than you ever believed you could possibly be.
To have one backing you in such a way means the world. An earthly companion who hooks themselves to the future they see in you – marvellous! But, what if it’s not there? What if there is none who holds your hand and speaks words of encouragement to strengthen you to power through the fight, and press on?
As much as those pats on the back mean, they pale in comparison to the God who gave you the vision in the first place. Often raising above the norm to see higher heights becomes a lonesome climb. Despite the difficulties one faces in the process, God has…

Even if you think what you bring to the table doesn’t matter, I’m here to tell you it does! Even if you think it’s too small, God specializes in increasing humble beginnings and making them something special to shine for His glory.
