Motherhood: Requirements for Holiness

I used to have an internal dialogue that would make my head ache and my heart hurt. I would look at my life and say to myself, Well, this is good enough. Not ideal. I’m just a mom. But I’ll be better for Jesus when I have the time, when I can be the version ofContinue reading “Motherhood: Requirements for Holiness”

Rally: Real Talk

Yesterday was a leap of faith. Today, I just want to talk real talk. All day yesterday, I felt like I had consumed five cups of coffee. Releasing Rally into the world felt too dang uncomfortable for my liking. We’ve been praying about it for weeks. I already know what God will do if we’reContinue reading “Rally: Real Talk”

I’m just trying to keep it real here, and real talk is that I was incredibly exhausted and overwhelmed by all of it. AContinue reading “Admissions of a Daughter”

Notes on Motherhood

I am super exhausted from this presidential election. Amen? I hop on Facebook for a planned 5 minutes and end up spending 20 reading all the posts, updates, articles, fights. It makes my soul feel like it weighs a thousand pounds. It’s too much for me. Compassion and empathy run deep in my bones, andContinue reading “Notes on Motherhood”
