The season of motherhood is a full one. I’m only two years in but I’m already learning that there are many ups and downs. Just one hour could be filled with so many tears and so many giggles. It is definitely a tiring season. And there are many days that I just want to do the bare minimum. And to be honest, for a long time, the thought of incorporating reading my Bible into my daily schedule kind of scared me.

Prayer is so powerful. It is such an amazing gift that our Heavenly Father has given to us and that He wants us to use to communicate with Him. But there is so much more to prayer than just communicating with God. Prayer holds power. It has the ability to change outcomes and transform lives.

If you’re like me you probably were never taught to prayer besides praying kind of on the shallow end. You were never taught to go…

Dear tired mama, No matter how many years you’ve been doing this or how many little ones you have, the tired feeling will come. I’ve only been a mama for six months and have already seen my share of struggles, giggles, and tiredness. In the back of our minds we wish we could put it off, take a break, and make it stop. But we can’t. If we stop doing all the things, life will truly stop. There are little ones who count on you, a home that needs your care, and a hundred tasks that need to be accomplished…

Queen Esther is such an amazing character to look at. And as women of God we can learn so much from this woman of God. Esther was bold and strong. She changed the history for God’s people.
