Disappointment can be a gracious gift from God that helps us hope in him, refine our motives, and remember where our true value lies.

Even when circumstances overwhelm, Scripture reminds us that gratitude is an intentional choice made possible in Christ—one that brings peace to our hearts.

When waves of nostalgia hit, the gospel reminds us to hold the past both gratefully and realistically—and to fix our eyes on the hope yet to come.

Tomorrow may be uncertain, but it’s not impossible because we are safe in God’s hands and he will minister the grace we need.

Through the uncertainties of moving, we can remind ourselves and our kids of God’s faithfulness and keep our eyes out for his good provisions wherever we are.

Working moms can find freedom from guilt and rest in Christ as we navigate our responsibilities and time away from our kids.

Whether we celebrate Advent in big or small ways (or maybe no way at all), we can shift our focus this Christmas off what we do as moms to what Christ has already done for us in the gospel.

Our hormones are tools in God’s hands for our good and his glory.

Our calling as believers isn’t limited to one season, or even to motherhood. We can faithfully love God and others no matter how we spend our days.

As moms, we aren’t meant to settle for less. We can live an abundant life in Christ amidst the challenges of motherhood.

There’s a long list of reasons we may not be doing family devotions, but here’s one reason to start—the power to make family devotions effective doesn’t come from us, it comes from God’s word.

Keep applying the gospel again and again—moment-by-moment, prayer-by-prayer, conflict-by-conflict—it focuses our hearts more fully on Christ and conforms us to his image.
