Why Establishing Mother’s Day Traditions Are Important
I’ll be the first to admit it. When my kids were little, the only way I wanted to celebrate Mother’s Day was by myself! As a stay-at-home mom with two kids under two, this mama was worn-out and just wanted a moment of peace and quiet alone—and perhaps some ice cream too. I felt awful that I didn’t want to spend the holiday with the two people on this earth who made me a mom in the first place, but the good news is I didn’t feel that way forever. I’ll never forget the first year I truly enjoyed ... [keep reading]
What to Do When You Doubt Yourself as a Parent
I find that learning to navigate through motherhood can sometimes feel very much like the moment I finally got to leave the hospital with my precious newborn, only to arrive home and think now what? When my kids were babies, crying was the only way they let me know they needed something. When they were hungry, they cried. When they were tired, they cried. When they needed their diaper changed, they cried. Thankfully, once they learn to talk, they communicated in a way that was much easier to ... [keep reading]
18 Easy Ways to Connect with God When Life Gets Hectic
Being a mom is a job that requires limitless time and attention. When your kids are little, you take care of their physical needs—bathing, feeding, carrying, and changing diapers. When they grow older, you taxi them to activities, help with homework, and try to be available for those ever-important conversations that crop up at the least expected times. If you’re raising a child with special needs or health challenges, the demands are even greater. I recently released a prayer book for ... [keep reading]
Do You Believe That God Will Come Through for You?
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him” (Lamentations 3:22-24). Is your family going through a tough season? Chances are if you haven’t experienced family hardship yet, you will. Painful and tough times are part of life, and no family escapes them. My family, too, has experienced painful times. During the throes of ... [keep reading]
Embrace God’s Promise of a New Day
He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Revelation 21:5 Winter in Indiana just seems to drag on endlessly. If you are from the Midwest, you know what I’m talking about. Sometime around November, snow flurries begin. It fills us with anticipation of the holidays to come and the knowledge that a new season is upon us. We drag out our snow pants and fuzzy socks. We warm mugs of hot cocoa and sip them next to a roaring fire. It feels warm and cozy and safe. ... [keep reading]

How Your Personality Type Affects Your Child
In the mid-90s, I played basketball for my Christian high school. I was a beast on the court, boxing out, pulling down rebounds, and making game-winning assists. I was unstoppable. Actually, most of that is a fantasy I wish was true. I did play basketball – that part is accurate. But I definitely wasn’t a beast. My dad periodically reminds me that I would frantically shake my head “no” with an intense look of fear on my face. I’d move away from teammates when they tried to pass to me. He gets ...

Why Single Parents Need Your Support
Over a hamburger and salad, I listened to a friend of mine talk about her son. She is a single mother, and her son’s father lives very far away. As I listened to her, it struck me how hard it must be for her to balance everything. Discipline and provision. Meals and snuggles. Field trip signatures and transportation. She is overwhelmed, and she admitted that sometimes things just don’t go well. But one of the things that was clear is that she and her son have a very special relationship. Even ... [keep reading]
