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 thatContinue reading “Gentle Faith for Heavy Days”
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 weContinue reading “Motherhood Without Proving”

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—postpartumContinue reading “Rest Is Not Quitting”
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, especiallyContinue reading “Faith Isn’t Linear”

Letting My Mind, Body, and Soul Heal After Hard Seasons
One of the hardest lessons I have learned after walking through hard seasons is this:healing does not happen in just one part of us. For a long time, I focused on surviving. On getting through. On holding it together for my kids, my family, and the responsibilities in front of me. And for a while,Continue reading “Letting My Mind, Body, and Soul Heal After Hard Seasons”
Faithful Through It All: A Sunday Reset Before the New Year
There is something special about Sundays at the end of the year. They feel quieter. More reflective. Like an invitation to pause before stepping into what’s next. This season of motherhood has taught me that life doesn’t move in neat chapters. It overlaps. Joy and grief coexist. Gratitude and weariness sit side by side.
