To truly love someone is to forgive them.But what happens when the person you need to forgive is your own parent?When I was 21, my mom and stepdad kicked me out of the house. They accused me of things I wasn’t doing—drinking, drugs, sex—and sent me to a women’s shelter for battered women and children. I wasn’t either.That choice cost me everything, including my place in the military, the one thing I loved most.Now, years later, my mom still hasn’t met two of her grandsons. My six-year-old—who’s

🎙️ Mini Devotional: The Gift of Celebration

What Makes My Kid Cry Today ·

2025/08/07

We often think celebration has to be loud, big, or tied to a major milestone — but what if God is inviting us to celebrate the small, the sacred, and the in-between?In today’s devotional, we reflect on what it means to practice joy in real time — even when things aren’t perfect, even while we’re still waiting. Because celebration isn’t just about parties and answered prayers… sometimes, it’s a quiet posture of trust.“Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” — Nehemiah 8:10Let this

You’ll Sleep When the Baby Sleeps — And Other Lies...

We’ve all heard it: “Sleep when the baby sleeps.” But what if your baby doesn’t sleep? Or your brain won’t turn off? Or the laundry screams louder than your exhaustion? In this first Mom Mythbusters episode, I’m calling out the well-meaning advice that sounds good on Pinterest but rarely holds up in real life. You’ll hear stories from my early motherhood fog, my sleep-deprived breakdowns, and how I eventually found rest — not just in a nap, but in the grace of God. 💛 If you’ve ever felt like you’re

What do you do when the world is asleep, but your mind isn’t? This episode was made for the quiet hours — for the restless, the overthinkers, the ones who feel everything a little louder in the dark. At 3 AM, the distractions fade, but the questions don’t. And in that stillness, God often speaks in a whisper. Let this devotional walk with you through the silence, the longing, and the questions you might not have words for yet. You’re not alone in the night. And you’re not the only one awake. “After

🎧 Mini Devotional: “The Gift of Celebration

2025/07/31

Sometimes we rush past the victories — the little wins, the big milestones, the answered prayers — because we’re too busy bracing for the next battle. But celebration is holy too. It’s part of worship. It’s a way of saying, “God, I see what You’ve done, and I won’t forget it.” 📖 Zephaniah 3:17 — “The Lord your God is with you… He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” This short episode is a reminder to pause, notice, and

I Don’t Know What a Yankee Is, But I Have Red Socks...

What Makes My Kid Cry Today ·

2025/07/28

We were all watching a baseball game one evening—snacks, commentary, the whole family dialed in—when my oldest, 10 years old at the time, suddenly said: “I’m not going for the Yankees.” I asked him why. His response? “Because I don’t know what a Yankee is… but I have red socks at home.” It was one of those perfectly-timed, unintentionally profound moments only a kid can deliver. We laughed, of course—but I’ve carried it with me ever since. Because sometimes, that’s how we live our faith too. We

🎙 Mini Devotional: “You’re Doing Holy Work”

What Makes My Kid Cry Today ·

2025/07/24

Motherhood doesn’t always feel holy. It feels sticky. Loud. Exhausting. Like Cheerios in the carpet, crying in the bathroom, and folding the same basket of laundry for the third time. But here’s the truth: even when it doesn’t feel sacred — it still is. God sees every unnoticed act of love, every whispered prayer, every moment you show up when you’re empty. This is holy work. 📖 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” — Colossians 3:23 This short devotional is for

Still Reaching for Me — Even When I’m the Villain

What Makes My Kid Cry Today ·

2025/07/21

We like to think of ourselves as the ones needing rescue—but sometimes, if we’re honest, we’re the ones who caused the hurt. The ones who pushed away, gave up, or walked off course. And still… God reaches for us. This devotional reflects on the beauty of grace that meets us not just in our brokenness, but even in our rebellion. Because God’s love doesn’t flinch when we fall short—it moves toward us. 📖 “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for
