"When I think about the uncertainty of the future, several things come to mind. Our sweet friends who have just begun fostering and have already experienced the ups and downs of taking in kids and then watching them go. The moms I've reached out to on Instagram who have asked for prayer for their financial situation because money is tight. My friend with a two year old who has daily seizures and has doctors still trying to figure out the right medication to give and whether it could worsen as time goes on.

And I also think of me as I'm getting ready to have my second baby. I have no idea of what our lives will look like with two kiddos under the age of two and there's several unknowns, like how my husband's work schedule may change around that time and whether I'll face the same battle with postpartum rage as I did before. Even questions like, will I still feel confident and able to make it out of the house every day, has me worried and nervous..."

"As moms, it's so easy to dismiss or neglect the things on our hearts. We hold back from pursuing certain dreams or passions and we keep ourselves from walking in our talents and gifts. Sometimes this really is what we ought to be doing for certain seasons in our lives, at least until there is more margin and we feel a peace from God in our Spirit to move forward and pursue these things. But then there are times when we're choosing to not pursue these things because we're afraid of letting him down or losing focus of what matters. Sometimes we're just afraid of neglecting our calling as a mom. We want to be the best moms we can be and so we somehow come to believe that that has to mean pushing everything else aside..."

"This has been a rough season for a lot of us. It seems like every household has been getting hit with illness after illness, such as the nasty cold or some kind of bug or the crazy flu that's been spreading like wildfire. My own house has dealt with its fair share of sicknesses this winter, the worst of it being the week that my husband had the flu. If you keep up with the blog, then you probably saw that I wrote about this and that it really took all of me to be both mom and dad for our daughter that week. By the end of it I was completely worn down and spent. I could not wait for everyone in our house to be healthy again and for my husband to finally be back to his normal self..."

I know that when I get to the end of my life, I will not regret the nights spent rocking my crying child to sleep. But what I may regret is knowing that I hindered the Lord's work being done in me because I couldn’t see past the temporary and keep HIS kingdom and HIS purposes at the forefront of my mind..."

This episode is a reading aloud of the most recent blog post on Soul Care for the New Mom. I chose to share it as this week's podcast episode because of just how well it expresses all that I hope to communicate through Soul Care for the New Mom -- what "soul care" is all about, why it even matters, how my own wrestling in my faith as a new mom led me to discover new ways to connect with the Lord, and why it's become my passion to encourage moms in this season of motherhood! I definitely think you'll want to check out this episode! It's the perfect insight into the story behind Soul Care for the New Mom and what it means for YOU.

"Have you ever had a morning where every fiber of your being begged you to stay in bed? No matter how much you knew you needed to start your day, you just couldn't bear the thought of putting your feet on the ground. If you're in the thick of motherhood, then odds are you haven't just had one morning like this, but have had many. Because sometimes being a mom feels like signing up to be in a war zone day after day, and there are just some days where you don't want to fight..."

"I don’t know about you, but sometimes when the nights are rough and I’m up way longer than I had hoped to be, I find myself crying out to the Lord for help and strength. But honestly, what I’m longing for most isn’t necessarily for more sleep (although, of course that would be VERY much appreciated), but rather that I would just feel his presence beside me so I could know that I’m not alone in this. I don’t want to bear this burden alone.

I wish I could say that I always feel the comfort of the Lord in these moments, but there are many times when I don’t. After the baby is finally asleep again, I climb back into bed feeling a weight of sorrow because even though I won this battle, I’m already worn down and I know there’s still more up ahead. I wonder how long the Lord will allow this sleeplessness to continue and whether it really is for my good and for his glory..."

"We are invited in the midst of our trials to seek wisdom and clarity from the Lord. This honestly isn't always my first thought or action when I'm facing difficulty in my life. Sometimes I wonder if God just wants me to figure it all out on my own. But this passage says otherwise. We are promised that we will receive wisdom when we ask for it in faith. And after giving some thought to how this has played out in my life through past experience, I've realized that there have been many times when God has met me in the middle of my struggles to give me the wisdom I'm looking for, whether it's an immediate, practical solution or just a reminder to keep my eyes fixed on him. But perhaps the best wisdom of all comes in the form of his gentle voice reminding us, 'beloved one, this is making you more like my Son.'"

"If I'm being honest, I think I do have a hard time believing that God loves me enough to talk to me. And when I dive a little further into my thought processes and beliefs about this, I realize that I carry a lot of fear in my heart when it comes to my relationship with the Lord. Like if he's not revealing something big to me or showing up in my life in some grand way, then I fear that I'm doing something wrong and he's disappointed in me. I confuse his silence for distance, and I wonder if he's distant from me in order to punish me because maybe I'm not as diligent in prayer as I think I should be or I'm too easily distracted by all I have going on.

Maybe you think and feel similar things, and if so, I want to offer some words of truth and wisdom for the both of us today. The truth is the Lord is not hiding from you. He's not trying to tease or trick you or even punish you. He does want to speak to you. But it's in the still, small voice that he wants to speak..."

"If you’re like me, you kicked off 2018 with a list of goals and dreams for the coming year, things you hoped to accomplish or get better at, things that you didn’t quite manage to succeed with in 2017. The beauty of a new year is that it gives us hope. Hope that change will come.

But if you’re like me, you also quickly realized that change takes time. You’ve already messed up in several areas. The things you planned to set in motion still haven’t taken off. You’re a little disappointed that you didn’t wake up in 2018 as a completely different person..."

This is the final podcast episode until 2018 and also the first episode featuring a special guest: my sweet, amazing (and sometimes goofy) husband, Grant! To end season one of the podcast on a fun note, him and I took turns interviewing each other about parenthood and how it has changed us, challenged us, and brought us closer together. I had a blast recording this episode with him and I'm excited to share it with you all today! Happy listening, and happy Thanksgiving!

"Last week, yesterday, or maybe just an hour ago, you may have felt some sorrow or guilt over mistakes you had made. Maybe you meant to spend more time with your family, but the day got away from you. Maybe you wanted to be fully present, but social media and Netflix were just too tempting. Maybe you wanted to create a pleasant evening for your husband, but your focus on the baby somehow spoiled it.

Mama, there is so much redemption found in Jesus. And even though there is something so beautiful about the rising sun and the idea of a brand new day, there is grace to be found minute by minute, moment by moment. We don't have to wait until morning to have hope and receive the Lord's joy..."

"We had a rough week recently. A stomach bug traveled through our home, affecting me, my sweet baby, and then my husband. This sickness on top of first trimester tiredness and aching legs was almost enough to send me over the edge. I somehow found the strength to get through each day and care for my family, yet it seemed as though exhaustion was always threatening to overwhelm me.

During this time I cried out to God a lot because I knew that he saw me in my sickness and weakness. And I couldn't help but wonder, does he even care? As someone who has a hard time believing in randomness or coincidences, I started to think that maybe this crummy week was meant to teach me something or grow me in some way. But I didn't want to be taught. I didn't want to grow. I just wanted to feel better and be better instead of being laid up in bed when I should be caring for my baby or laying wide awake at night in pain, helpless and weary..."

"If you're in those early, early stages of figuring out breastfeeding, I feel for you. I remember those days so, so well. I remember it took a few painful weeks, multiple visits to the lactation consultation, a case of mastitis and a lot of tears to even begin to get the hang of it. And even after a few months, I was still navigating confusion about my supply, a fussy baby not wanting to be still during feedings, and an overall weariness from the cluster feedings and waking up to nurse multiple times a night. When I say I understand how difficult breastfeeding can be, I really do mean it.

It's easy to get wrapped up in what our bodies can and cannot do, whether they're performing the way we expect them to and providing for our babies the way we hope they will. It can be stressful and easy to beat ourselves up when we are facing difficulties with breastfeeding, which I know most women do at some point or other in their breastfeeding journey..."

"My baby just turned one and I'll admit that I was a little caught off guard by how many emotions I felt about it at the time. I especially had this strange sorrow that I couldn't quite put my finger on at first. Eventually I realized that my heart was heavy with longing. A longing for my daughter to grasp just how deeply I love her and how much I have treasured every day I have spent with her. I so badly wanted her to know that even on the worst days, I have delighted in being her mom and getting to call her my baby. It has been my greatest privilege to care for her, to watch her grow, and to be her source of comfort, peace, and love.

As I contemplated and felt these things, my heart burned with the knowledge that this is how the Lord thinks of us too..."

Maybe he's calling you to make a change in your marriage or friendships or to pursue a ministry within your community or church.

"We somehow get it in our heads that we should be able to do this on our own, that we should be able to get through the day without needing God. We want things to go smoothly, to be perfect. We want to be the best possible mom or wife. And when we are faced with our humanity and all the weaknesses and flaws that come with it, we crumble apart rather than see it for the humbling reminder of our need for God that it truly is. Which is in his design for our relationship with him. It is good that we need him.

And so it turns out that the days of frustration and desperation are perfect training ground for us to learn how to lean into him as he calls us to do, running to the Lord with our needs to receive his love and peace and help..."

"I know at some point or another you will have or already have had one of those days where you just lose it. We all do. You're trying to put the baby down for a nap or get them to stop crying for the hundredth time and nothing is working. And it hits you, almost like a cold slap to the face, that you're not in control. In fact you're so out of control that you start to wonder if you can even do this. Survive the day. Get through the night. Do this whole motherhood thing.

Today was one of those days for me. And when I first saw how things were beginning to spiral out of control within my very own home, I found myself asking the question, What AM I in control of? Because I'm certainly not in control of this crying baby who's skipping her nap or the husband who doesn't quite know the right things to do or say. And I don't even think I'm in control of myself because I have these emotions, especially this anger, that rises up in me, and there's just no stopping it..."

"When we first brought our little one home from the hospital, I had no idea what she wanted. Is she crying from hunger? From gas? From over stimulation? But over time I have become so intimately acquainted with her that I now know exactly what makes her smile and what makes her fuss. I know the difference between her hunger cry and her scared cry and her tired cry. I know when she's nursing for hunger or just nursing for comfort. I know how to calm her down when she bumps her head or falls over. I even know the faces she makes when she's pooping! I know my baby's needs better than she knows them herself and I love that I'm able to meet many of those needs for her.

Lately I've been reminded that the Lord knows us and feels the same way about us too. Sometimes that thought scares me. Being fully known is an intimidating thing. There have been many times when I have convinced myself it's better to try to ignore or hide from the Lord rather than run to him, even though he knows exactly what my aching soul needs and he is the only one who can provide it."

"Sometimes it feels like my heart is breaking when I see my baby crying over something I can't fix or control. This week she has a tooth breaking through and I can tell it's distressing her, and watching those big crocodile tears roll down her cheeks makes me so, so sad. She doesn't understand the pain she's feeling, the changes that she is going through. To her it just hurts. That's all she knows, and so there's no stopping the tears.

I can't count the number of times I have been in those same shoes, shedding tears over something that I can't understand, only knowing that I'm in pain and thinking it won't ever go away. My first heartbreak. Loneliness. Rejection. Painful childhood memories. Waiting. Loss."

"I know what it's like to not feel like yourself. I know how overwhelming it can be to have these hormones coursing through your body and to have to adjust to this new lifestyle revolving around the baby. I know how it can affect your marriage to the point where you wonder if it'll even keep working and how easy it is to reminisce on the days when you were more stable, less sleep deprived, and in control. You start to ask yourself, will I ever feel normal and be in that place again?

I don't know how long it'll take to adjust for you or me. I'm definitely still working on it. I have good days and bad days. But what I've come to learn is that even when I don't feel like myself, God knows who I am and he is able to remind me and keep me grounded in the truth..."

"When you're in this season of sameness, with a little baby who relies on you day in and day out, it's easy to forget the eternal significance of motherhood. Especially since we have yet to see the fruits of our labor. Our little ones can't grasp that there's a God who loves them just yet, so we hide those truths away in our hearts until the right time comes.

But despite our inability to fully walk out what it means to teach our children biblical truths and the love of God, there is still a beautiful God-given purpose for the diaper changes, late night feedings, and sweet moments spent in the rocking chair..."

"There have been nights when I have felt alone while nursing in quiet in the dark. My husband is sound asleep, the dog is sound asleep, all of my friends and family are sound asleep, everyone on social media is asleep, and yet here I am. Awake and alone. Tending to my baby. These moments are hidden from the world. Its just her and I. And it can be tempting to feel isolated and unnoticed.

Maybe this sounds all too familiar to you right now. Maybe you're still in the thick of things with me, waking up far more often than you'd like, taking care of your little one while the rest of the world remains oblivious..."
