Fasting is mentioned so many times in the Bible. And we are told of the importance of fasting and prayer over and over again. But how do we set apart that time to fast while we are in the busy seasons of motherhood. We are chasing littles from dawn until dusk. Often times we forget to eat but that doesn’t count as fasting. And when you are pregnant or nursing you can’t really go a day without eating. That’s what I always thought fasting was, just not eating. In Scriptures that is pretty much all we see. But fasting is…

A common theme I hear from women recently is how much their family needs breakthrough from the Lord. Whether that is breakthrough for their husband’s faith, work problems, family issues, generational struggles, financial difficulties, their own faith, and so on I am hearing the need for breakthrough and desire to pray for it. But so many women just don’t know how to pray for breakthrough for their families. I wish I could give you a script on what to pray but every situation and family is different. So below I am going to share what I can to encourage you…

There have been so many times when I just didn’t have words to pray. That is when I love to turn the Scripture so I can pray God’s Word back to Him. And I love praying Scripture any time I am anointing my home or family. If you’re lost on what to say, where to even begin with anointing, or what verses are best for praying over your home I completely understand. I was in the same place a little over two years ago. But I want to encourage you to just start. Grab some oil (olive oil out of…

There have been times when I just didn’t know what to pray. Some times things were just so rough around me and life seemed to keep throwing arrows my way. Other times I just don’t know what to pray. It’s not that I’m confused or struggling. I just don’t have words. This is often when my faith life and relationship with the Lord seems to be in a dry season. Honestly these times can be very hard places to be. I, at least, end up feeling guilty. Deep down I try hard but I feel like I am failing as…

The past month over on my Instagram there has been a movement happening. Thousands of women in this generation are feeing a pull from the Lord to get their home in order for His kingdom. Have you been feeling this too? Have you been hearing God calling you to come to Him and restore what’s under your roof? If you are one of these women rising up in this generation and wanting to get your home in order for the Lord the best thing that you can do is this–pray! We need prayer warriors right now. This world needs people…

Mornings can either be good or bad. And depending on what season of life you’re in, what time you begin your day may differ. Right now in the current season I am in with two little boys it is very hard to set a routine. With different sleep schedules, unexpected moments, and the way toddlers view time a strict morning routine has not been possible. So in this post I want to speak to mamas of littles who may not have the ability to have a designated quiet time in the morning, who can’t wake up before her kids, or…

Wisdom comes up over and over again in God’s Word. If you need to know how to get wisdom just open up Proverbs. That one book alone is packed with answers. We all need wisdom from the Lord, no matter what season of life you are in. But there is something about the mundane days of motherhood that requires wisdom. As mothers we do the same tasks each day, tend to cries, clean up messes, mop spills off the floor, feed little mouths what feels like non-stop, clean up more messes, and stay up late with little ones who can’t…
