Different Paths, Same Foundation: Parenting with Truth and Grace

-

No two families are exactly the same—and neither are the ways we mother. Some of us homeschool, others send our children to public or private school. Some work outside the home, others stay home full-time. Some of us live in quiet rural places, others in busy cities. Our circumstances shape our rhythms, routines, and even our parenting styles.

And yet, as Christian mothers, we share a common foundation: the truth of God’s Word.

In a world full of conflicting advice and ever-changing opinions, we need something steady to guide our hearts and our homes. That truth is found in Christ, and in the Word He has given us. No matter how different our homes may look from the outside, we are all called to raise our children with love, with grace, and with truth that never wavers.

One of the greatest gifts in this journey is the partnership we have with our husbands. God designed family to be a team effort. While our roles may differ in expression, we are meant to walk together—listening to each other, encouraging one another, and seeking God’s wisdom as one. Our husbands influence how we parent, and that’s a beautiful thing. Together, we create a fuller picture of God’s love for our children.

Parenting isn’t about perfection or doing it all the same way. It’s about staying rooted in God’s truth while offering our homes as places of grace and safety. Whether your days feel chaotic or calm, whether you’re in sync with your spouse or learning how to better walk together—God is faithful to lead you.

Let’s keep encouraging each other, not comparing. Let’s fill our homes with truth, grace, and love—because that’s what truly shapes the hearts of our children.

This morning (HST), I received the heartbreaking news that Charlie Kirk had been shot. Tragically, I was sent footage of the shooting. I do not recommend looking it up—I was not prepared for what I saw, and the video was deeply disturbing. Immediately, I began to pray with my children. I was glued to my phone, waiting for updated information, until I saw the devastating news that Charlie Kirk had died. Filled with grief and a flood of thoughts, I want to share a few things with you.

From Selfish to Selfless: A Journey into Motherhood with God’s Grace

-

Becoming a mother is one of the most sacred transformations a woman can experience. From the very beginning, when that tiny heartbeat becomes part of your own, something shifts deep within. Suddenly, life is no longer just about you—your plans, your preferences, your comfort. It becomes about someone else entirely. Someone God has entrusted to your care. I won’t pretend the change is always easy. There are sleepless nights, tired mornings, and days when you feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself. But here’s the beautiful truth: in that losing, you begin to find something even greater. You find purpose. You find grace. You find strength you didn’t know you had. Motherhood has a way of tenderly stretching your heart, teaching you to serve without expecting anything in return. It transforms selfishness into selflessness—not through guilt or duty, but through love. A love that mirrors Christ’s love for us: patient, forgiving, unwavering. If you’re not a mother yet, know this—your life i...

The Grace to Grow: Encouragement for New Moms

When I became a mother for the first time, I named my daughter Grace —not fully realizing how fitting that name would become for the journey ahead. Grace was such a gift. She made me a mom, changed my heart, and filled our home with joy. But what I didn’t expect was how much grace I would need to give myself in the process of becoming the mother God was shaping me to be. As a mom of four now, I look back and see how much pressure I put on myself—especially in those early days. We live in a world flooded with information: expert advice, parenting books, influencers, reels, podcasts. And while many of these voices are helpful, they often contradict each other, leaving us wondering: Who do I trust? Am I doing this right? Here’s what I’ve learned: start with prayer. Before diving into another blog post or video, talk to the One who created you—and your child. God is not only the author of life, but the sustainer of your motherhood. He’s ready to give wisdom when you ask. Talk with your...
