    22 | Praying Before You React | How to Stop Yelling at Your Kids | Praying for Patience as a Mom | Christian Parenting Toddlers | What You Can Do To Stop Yelling At Your Child

    What is a prayer I can say to pray for patience with my child? How to practice patience as a mom? What you can do to stop yelling at your child. My 17-month-old knows exactly how to get a reaction out of me. So lately, before I react, I've been praying first. I thought that prayer was for him. Then I realized God was using it to show me my own heart. In this episode we look at the split-second prayer Nehemiah prayed before answering a king, what James 1:19-20 says about anger, and what Solomon asked God for when he felt unprepared to lead. If you've been praying for patience as a mom, or wondering how to stop yelling at your kids, this one is for you. 🤍 Free printable: Scriptures to pray over your child.

    21 | Trusting God When You Can't See What's Next | Hearing God's Voice as a Mom | Trusting God in the Unknown | Christian Mom Devotional

    What My Toddler's (Amaranth) Porridge Bowl Taught Me About Trusting God This morning my baby cried over what was left in his bowl, while there was more left on the counter. He wasn't crying because there wasn't any more. He was crying because he couldn't see it. And I realized I do the exact same thing; we all do. A short devotional on trusting God in the unknown, hearing God's voice in everyday moments, and what the manna in Exodus 16 teaches us about God's provision when you can only see what's in front of you. Inside: eight KJV Bible promises of what God says He will do for us when we trust Him. Pick one this week to memorize and speak over your life. 🤍 If this encouraged you, send it to one mom who needs it, and leave a review wherever you're listening. 🤍 Free printable: the three Luke 2 verses to pray over your child. → Click here to download the printable (Scroll towards the end of the page)! 🤍 Something is coming to your mailbox.

    20 | Lessons from the Mothers of the Bible - Part 2 | What Does the Bible Say About Motherhood | Christian Motherhood | Biblical Motherhood

    Lately, whenever my baby hears the mention of God or Jesus, he says Amen. I never sat him down. I never explained it to him. Which means the teaching had already started, I just wasn't counting it. In Part 2 of this series on biblical motherhood, we study three more mothers in the Bible: the Shunammite woman, Lois and Eunice, and Mary the mother of Jesus. If you've ever wondered what does the Bible say about motherhood or what does the Bible say about mothers when you feel like you're not doing enough, then this one's for you. Missed Part 1? Episode 19 covers Hannah, Jochebed, Hagar and Naomi. 🤍 Free printable: the three Luke 2 verses to pray over your child. → Click here to download the printable (Scroll towards the end of the page)! 🤍 Something is coming to your mailbox.

    19 | Lessons from the Mothers of the Bible | What Does the Bible Say About Motherhood | Christian Motherhood | Mothers in the Bible | What Does the Bible Say About Mothers | Biblical Motherhood

    The first person in the entire Bible to give God a name wasn't a patriarch or a prophet. It was a pregnant runaway servant girl, alone in a desert. When I think about mothers of the bible, I always think about them as spiritual giants. Serene. Certain. Sure of every step. Nothing like me on a Tuesday afternoon with my toddler (who I still call my baby :D) on my lap, pregnant/tired, and having tons of things to do. Then I studied them. They were exhausted. Disappointed. Grieving. Some of them got it wrong. And God chose to include them in the bible anyway. Scripture is far more honest about mothers than we usually are with each other. In Part 1 of this series on biblical motherhood, we study four mothers in the Bible, Hannah, Jochebed, Hagar and Naomi, and what they teach us. There's a moment in Hannah's story where everything shifts before a single circumstance changes. There's a skill Jochebed had that most people read right past. If you've ever wondered what does the Bible say about motherhood or what does the Bible say about mothers when you're the one who feels unseen, this one's for you. Real lessons from the mothers in the Bible, for real Christian motherhood, with the Scripture right there so you can study it yourself. Next week is Part 2: the Shunammite woman, Lois and Eunice, and Mary, plus three verses about Jesus' own childhood that I now pray over my son by name.
