Uplifted Sisterhood - funny stories, devotionals and self-care hacks for the busy Christian mom Kristin

Hoping, anticipating something wonderful makes life’s challenges so much more tolerable. Looking forward to a trip? Meeting up with friends/family? Fishing? Be it this world or beyond, hoping for the future blessings promised helps carry us through, and helps motivate us in the meantime (like getting ready for swimsuit season 😳...definitely a diet/exercise motivator 😆)

Does life have you so busy it’s hard to make time god? Satan is the master distractor! Now is the time for us to prepare and hide the word in our hearts - creating a secret stash of nourishment we may need in the middle of the night.

There’s nothing like a mom’s love. It drives us to do things we wouldn’t normally do because sometimes those kids are too hard to resist. We just want the best for them, and God just wants the best for us. And sometimes that involves sitting in a boat in the pouring rain 🌧 ☔️🤷🏼‍♀️

We all have at least a few names, maybe a couple embarrassing ones too. Nicknames, terms of endearment, names our parents used when we are in trouble 😳... God has several names too, one for each need we have. And they aren’t nearly as embarrassing as our childhood nicknames. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Have you ever tried doing things your way instead of the “right” way? How did that work out for you? Following God His way makes a difference too, and there’s usually a method to the madness, even if we don’t see it right away.

In the habit of saving things for the future, but then they go to waste? Or trying to hold something for the future that really needs to be done now? Jump in, do it dirty, and let’s live life now!
