Motherhood is our ministry!! The enemy will attack your patience.He'll try to harden your heart toward your kids.He'll whisper lies that say this work isn't enough.

But the truth? This is kingdom work. There are days I get frustrated not thinking I'm doing anything with my life, but then God reminds me that he called me to be a momma. My ministry are my babies. Serving my home is what the Lord calls of me, to raise my babies up knowing and loving the Lord is my worship. Even on the days I'm frustrated or feel it's all to much I still thank Jesus. Thank you Lord for letting my cup over flow with all of my babies, thank you for not letting it be empty🙏🏽🩷

Motherhood changes us in ways no one can fully prepare us for. 💚

After having children, many of us look in the mirror and don’t recognize the woman staring back. Our bodies change, our routines change, our priorities change, and sometimes our confidence and self-esteem change too. I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable in my own skin and wonder if I’ll e
