Mind Over Mom
Surrendering Control
When Letting Go Feels Riskier Than Holding On Scripture:“Trust in the LORD with all your heart,and do not lean on your own understanding.”— Proverbs 3:5 (ESV) There is something comforting about having a plan. A timeline.A spreadsheet.A next step. Even when life feels busy, I can tolerate it if I understand it. If I know…
Faith in Financial Stress
Trusting God When the Numbers Feel Heavy There’s a unique weight that comes with financial pressure. It’s different from inconvenience.It’s different from discomfort.It hits deeper. It whispers questions you didn’t want to answer. How are we going to handle this?What needs to wait?What if this keeps increasing? Financial stress is humbling because it exposes how…
When It Rains: Trusting God in Practical Pressure
There are seasons where spiritual growth feels peaceful. And then there are seasons where it feels expensive. Not metaphorically. Actually expensive. Appliances breaking.Washing machines leaking.Cars dying.Mortgage confusion.Property taxes increasing.Dental work waiting.Bills climbing.Sleep regression starting. And homeschool still happening. This month has been one of those “when it rains, it pours” seasons. And what I’m realizing…
Even Here: Why I Wrote This Song
This week was supposed to look different. I had planned a whole week of content focused on love.God’s love.Love in parenting.Biblical love in marriage. Encouraging posts. Scripture. Truth-filled reminders. But today… today was different. Today I was struggling. Not because something catastrophic happened. Not because of an emergency. Just the slow, heavy kind of overwhelm…
Gentle Faith for Heavy Days
Trusting God When Strength Feels Small Some days, faith feels strong and steady. Other days, it feels fragile—like something you’re holding with open hands, afraid you might drop it if the day gets any heavier. Heavy days don’t announce themselves loudly. They quietly settle in through accumulated exhaustion, unanswered prayers, emotional weight, or seasons that…
Motherhood Without Proving
Letting Go of Outside Approval There is an unspoken audience many of us carry into motherhood. It’s the voice that asks:Am I doing this right?What will others think?Do I look like I have it together enough? Motherhood doesn’t happen in isolation. It unfolds in community, online spaces, family relationships, and cultural expectations. And before we…
From Striving to Surrender
How God Meets Us in Exhaustion There is a kind of exhaustion that sleep doesn’t touch. It lives deeper than the body.It shows up after long seasons of holding it together.After striving to meet expectations—spoken and unspoken.After trying to be faithful, present, patient, and strong all at once. This kind of tiredness doesn’t come from…
Rest Is Not Quitting
Learning to Stop Without Giving Up There is a voice many of us carry into motherhood that says slowing down means we’re giving up. That resting means we’re falling behind.That pausing means we’re quitting on our responsibilities, our calling, or even our faith. I’ve felt that voice grow louder in seasons where my capacity shrank—postpartum…
Faith Isn’t Linear
Trusting God Through Uneven Seasons I used to believe faith was something that grew neatly over time. That if I stayed consistent enough, prayed enough, trusted hard enough, my walk with God would look like a steady upward line—stronger, clearer, more confident with each passing season. But real life has taught me otherwise. Faith, especially…
You Don’t Need to Do More to Be Worthy
Releasing Performance in Motherhood There is a quiet pressure that creeps into motherhood, often without us realizing it. It sounds like:If I could just do a little more, I’d finally feel like a good mom.If I stayed more consistent, more patient, more organized, then maybe I’d feel worthy of rest. I have carried that weight…
