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

Though the melody of our grief is bitter, the underlying chord of the gospel reharmonizes it with hope.

Because Christ has taken our shame to the cross, we can live free from condemnation—even when childlessness seems to define or isolate us.

Grief can make way for a deeper experience of gospel hope this Christmas season, as we hold tight to Immanuel—God with us.

In the daily tending, weeding, and pruning of motherhood, we can point to the faithful Gardener who keeps and cultivates us too—from Eden into eternity.

No matter the challenges of our current season of motherhood, we can rest in God’s faithfulness and promises to carry us safely through.

As we experience different stages of motherhood, we can faithfully cast a vision of God’s faithfulness for those in seasons behind us.

With a little gospel imagination, we can see how the things that frustrate us about our kids now could be refashioned to glorify God and serve his kingdom.

If we fear the Lord instead of fearing all the “what ifs” in our children’s lives, we can find rest and refuge in him, even amidst the uncertainties of parenting.

Our bruises can tempt us to be hardhearted and unforgiving. But when we look to the broken body of Christ, we realize we can give grace, because we have received it in abundance.

Contentment and eagerness are two sides of the same coin.

As Christians we know our true source of joy is in Christ. So why are we still grumpy?
