Dear friend,

Join me this week as I share a vulnerable conversation with my close friend, Stephanie. She is a woman who is marked by knowing the presence of God and she has built her life on knowing Jesus in the quiet place. Stephanie shares openly about her and her husband's journey in having children of their own. The mental and emotional struggles. The temptation to believe lies about the character of God. And the Truth that lead her into complete peace.

Stephanie is the Owner of Pilates By Design in Spring Branch, TX.

This conversation with my sister-in-law, Rebekah VanArtsdalen, will bring much clarity into the life of raising boys. She offers much practical encouragement on this wild ride of motherhood as she and her husband raise four boys. I pray that you are deeply encouraged by this conversation!

Blessings,

Hope

Our confidence in motherhood comes from knowing that God is in the midst of every season. He is WITH us through the ups, downs, joys and sorrows. Our goal must not be to try and figure everything out ourselves. Our goal, as Jesus followers, is to become more dependent on Him and less dependent on ourselves.

Friend, join me today for a sincere conversation about walking in confidence in every season of motherhood. I pray you are deeply encouraged.

Friends, a few weeks back I asked a question on IG about what part of postpartum is most difficult? The responses were very similar and that's why I wanted to dedicate a podcast episode to sharing all the practical tips on how to accomplish tasks during those few few months to honestly, that first year of your baby's life. I am a firm believer that we can be both present with our children while also getting things accomplished around our home. May this episode be a blessing to you!

Friends, I prayed and asked God for a great sleeper with my third baby. My first two boys were difficult and I stumbled through the process of helping them sleep well.

Our third son has been the easiest, by far, (including the 4 month sleep regression) but it hasn't come by some type of magic formula. And from one mom to another, I'm here just sharing my experiences and I pray that it helps you with your baby also!

Friend, I have tried so many times to do it all - to prove myself to...myself. I thought that if I figured everything out on my own that it would somehow provide me the value I was seeking. I thought that if I kept it all together that everything would be okay. What I didn't see was that even when everything wasn't okay that my worth was unshakeable in Christ. What I didn't see was that life was still so beautiful and good even when I messed up as a mom.

The hard truth about motherhood is that we are not the hero. We are not the one that we should be boasting in at the end of every day. We will never have enough patience or strength on our own efforts. We will never have all the answers to challenges we face with our children. We will never have the capacity to fulfill every single need around us.

I pray this messages blesses you deeply,

Hey there friend, here is a very honest reflection about my first 6 weeks postpartum (for the third time) + some encouragement along the way no matter what you're currently walking through. Thank you for being here!

Happy New Year friends! This episode was recorded before Christmas but I was not able to edit and publish it until now =) So, this is my wholehearted Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I pray that you are filled up to overflowing with God's peace this month as you reflect and plan.

Here is the official birth story of our third son, Josiah Gideon. And there is a crazy plot twist to our planned home birth =)

Hugs to each of you!
