From One Busy Mom to Another
Hope and Encouragement for busy moms
Being Mom is is hard! I’ve always felt like an okay mom, but the pandemic gave me a chance to see how I can be mighty, and that I can’t do it all on my own. I’m sharing things I’ve learned in the hopes it can help you, too!

God’s been talking to me about prayer recently. Everywhere I turn, there’s yet another reminder that I need to set aside time in my day to talk to Him.
MY DEEPEST DESIRE
When you think about it, what are some of your deepest desires? In all honesty the main thing that came to mind is the desire to have a close mom friend.
DEAR NEW MOM
You’re not alone. Your baby has shown you a new level of love, but becoming Mom is HARD–exhausting in a way you never thought possible.

BIBLICAL WISDOM IN UNEXPECTED PLACES
You never know when God is going to point something biblical out to you. For me, it recently happened at a strategic communications conference I went to for work.
There was a Q&A session where an author was explaining the importance of including the human element in innovation. His points immediately made me think of three biblical themes.
APPRECIATING THIS SEASON OF LIFE
Sometimes I miss the past.
I’ve said it for years and keep being reminded of it: every season seems to have its good parts and its challenges. And as I’m moving into a new season, I’m reminded of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
DISCIPLESHIP: SAYING YES MEANS SAYING NO
Sometimes I really don’t like my limitations. I want to do everything I want to do, and I don’t want limitations like the number of hours in the day getting in my way. It’s like I think that if I want something enough, it won’t take any time at all.
I’ve been thinking about this lately while ruminating on what Duffy Robbins said this year at Mount Hermon:
Discipleship is a magnificent ‘yes’ wrapped up in significant ‘no’s.
WHEN YOU FEEL A CHANGE COMING
Have you ever felt like a change was coming, but you don’t know what or when? Like you’re just waiting for the next step?
Almost a month ago, our family moved an hour north to live in the community where my husband became a pastor back in March. This was an answer to many prayers and a long period of trusting that God was directing us somewhere, and waiting for His timing.
DO YOU RESPECT YOUR HUSBAND?
Back when my husband and I got married, my parents gave us a copy of Love and Respect to help us build a strong foundation to our marriage. Of course, with the distractions of life, it took us a while to get around to opening it up. But now, 13 years and 3 kids later, my husband picked it up and started reading through it.
WHERE IS YOUR FOCUS?
As you go about your day, how often do you stop and really focus on the person in front of you?
It’s so easy for me to be focused on the to-do list in my head that I don’t stop and really listen to what my kids (or other people I’m talking to) are trying to communicate.
