The gospel gives us much freedom with our family’s lifestyle choices but also protects us from placing too much emphasis on them.

When we’re overwhelmed at the prospect of welcoming another child, we can anchor our plans and rest our worries on God—who is sovereignly working out good for our families.

We can trust God in our motherhood both looking forward (at the days to come) and back (at past mistakes).

As time with our children marches along, we can embrace each new and fleeting season as a gracious gift from God’s hand.

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.

Like any major transition, the letting-go years of motherhood are an opportunity to fix our identity in Christ, live for his glory, and continue investing in the work before us.

Loneliness in motherhood is an opportunity to draw near to God in faith and trust him to provide the community we need—even if it’s different than we expected.

When we feel the loneliness and uncertainty of being a newcomer, the gospel reminds us that friendship is a good gift—created, redeemed, and restored by our God.

Preparing our kids to worship alongside God’s people in church begins with small, attainable steps—and an abundance of encouragement and grace.

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.

Establishing a personal mission for our family can help us make God-glorifying decisions and resist the pull of an ungodly culture.

In a world full of dizzying options and opinions, Luke 10 reminds us that Christ alone is our one necessity.
