Right now in this season of having two under three my quiet time looks far from quiet. Reading God’s Word doesn’t look like it did when I didn’t have kids or even when I was single. But I know how important reading the Bible is to me in this season of being a toddler mom. Without God’s Word I am not going to be able to care for my kids well, serve my family, and continue in righteousness. That’s why all moms need to be reading the Bible. So here are some tips that worked for me to still get…
You’re postpartum and in the thick of learning how to be a mom. You may be knee high in dirty diapers, laundry, to-do, you name it. There is a baby that always needs your attention. Or if this isn’t your first child, maybe a toddler or two also constantly at your feet. Being a mother is so beautiful, so fulfilling, and so God-honoring. And those early years are some of the most precious. You are shaping your little one’s childhood and teaching them to live faithfully in this world.

Praying for their futures, their health, their walk with the Lord, their character, and anything else is just so important no matter how old your children are. And praying scripture over your children…
Right now I am knee deep in dirty diapers, laundry, dishes that need to be washed, and every other never-ending responsibility that comes with motherhood. I do love this season and wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. But sometimes I just want to rest. A while ago I just wanted to find the answer on how to find true rest in this tiring season of life.

It took me a while to get this post written. Not because I was afraid to share what the Lord taught me through the nine months of carrying our second son. But because I didn’t know how to put all that He taught me and how He grew me during that time into just one post. So I decided to put it into one topic or phrase. He is faithful.
