My Book Review Of Nate and the Cake by Sannette Grant
What parent doesn’t want their kids to listen and obey? As a mom to three kiddos four and under, I find myself training my kids to obey on a daily basis. Obedience to parents is a command from God. It can be so hard to train because I often find my kids struggling with their own little sin natures. Which is why I am always on the look out for new teaching tools to help my kids learn the importance of obedience! Recently, when I was asked to review Nate and the Cake, I jumped at the opportunity because this is just the sort of book, I want in…

Why Toddlers Need To Know The Biblical Account Of Creation
From the Biblical account of Creation found in the first sentences of Genesis all the way to the final Amen of Revelation, God’s Word is true. Yet we live in a world that questions every word of the Bible. In fact, we live in a world that downright ridicules the Bible, especially the first few chapters. As a Christian mom, it is my job to teach my children the Truth found in God’s Word no matter how culturally irrelevant it might be deemed by certain modern scholars. *This post contains affiliate links.

What Happens When God Wants You To Be A Different Mom
I don’t think people ever intend to be different. In fact, if we are honest, we spend much of our lives trying to blend in and be more like someone else. Even as Christian women, we are going to try to imitate those who have lived a Christian life before us. Maybe we will follow in the steps of our mom, Grandma, or a dear mentor and friend. We certainly should try to be imitating Christ. Here is the hard part. If we are truly going to be a Christian mom who leaves a legacy and difference, we have to be different. Christ was different. There was a reason…

Thanks for your support of this ministry!* Until I became a mom myself, I seriously had no idea how tough being a mom was! Or how much moms do that goes unnoticed. Looking back, I definitely wonder how my mom got everything done that she did get done. So, moms are definitely superheroes that don’t wear capes but what to get them for Mother’s Day? Moms can be tough to shop for. Seriously. While most moms I know are happy spending a…

The ABCs of Thankfulness for a Christian Mom
Ever since I can remember I have rejoiced over the time of year leading up to Thanksgiving. Cozy evenings with my family in front of the fireplace reading and playing games in the firelight. Piles of leaves that I would stomp through for hours on end! (This one has lost some of the enchantment now that I am an adult in charge of the raking rather than just a cute little “helper.” :)) Although now I delight in watching my kids and dog carry on the tradition! And most of all, the change of pace. We would slow down from the busy planting and harvesting seasons on…

A Christian Woman’s Response To What The Bible Has To Say About Alcohol
What does the Bible have to say about alcohol? Should Christians ever drink? Is getting drunk okay? Does the Bible ever mention alcohol in a favorable way? Let’s dig into God’s Word today and see for ourselves what the Bible has to say about alcohol! My Personal Background With Alcohol First, let’s get this on the table. I lived a sheltered childhood. Growing up in the middle of nowhere on my family’s farm/ranch operation, we didn’t have hired hands so we never really got away for trips or vacations like most people do. (Trips were all based on traveling to a bull sale or to purchase a new…

5 Verses For The Discouraged Christian Mom
What discouraged Christian mom hasn’t had days where she just wants to crawl back in bed and pull the covers over her head? Motherhood is a biggest job you as a female will ever undertake. It is a life long commitment to love and guide and train and care for another human being! That is HUGE! With great responsibility comes lots of work. Work is a good thing but it can become exhausting and soul crushing if we let it. Especially for Christian moms who are trying to live up to their own expectations as well as the expectations of others within their family, school, and church communities. Today…
