Being a mother is the most difficult ministry I’ve faced yet.
Sleep is something that is so important to my mental and physical health and I find I sacrifice that all the time for my children.
I strive to be the Proverbs 31 woman and pray constantly for wisdom and strength... and grace for my mistakes.
One thing that helps make this role as mommy easier is that I can be home. I don’t have to rush out the door at 6am to go work an 8-12 hour desk job or some other job I hate when I would really be desperately wishing to be home with my babies all day.
If you feel the same way and you are working a job you hate or that isn’t beneficial for your family, please message me. I’d love nothing more than to help you earn an income from the comfort of your own home.
God has a way of making His desires known in our hearts... and I believe that deep longing that lies within each of us “mommies” to be home with our children is truly from Him.

I’ve never really gone with the flow...
During the dark years of my addiction/mental illness I was in a constant state of inner turmoil because I never felt at peace. I was striving and striving to try and get better (or die) in my own strength and I always fell flat on my face. Doing things my way always brings chaos, confusion and discontentment. And consequently, separates me from God and His ways.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
-Romans 12:2 | NKJV
Doing things God’s way and against the ways of the world is sometimes very difficult... like we’re swimming upstream in an ocean of wavering and weary people who live only for themselves.
The Good News is that Jesus has overcome the world! And He lives within us so we also can overcome. On days where it’s extra hard to go against the flow of the world, He carries us through the overwhelming waves and pressures.
When we don’t conform and when we renew our minds, THEN we will be able to discern God’s will for our lives!
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were DEAD in trespasses, made us ALIVE together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus...
-Ephesians 2:4-6 | NKJV
Hi there! Welcome to my blog... the space where I can be FREE to be me.
I haven't written in a few years on here, as you can see, but thought it was time I started up again.
And I am excited! I LOVE writing. I am an author and have a book on Amazon entitled, From Heroin to Heaven - got it from my blog name ;)
I hope you enjoy your time here! God bless.
My relationship with my Creator is so important to me... to trust His perfect design and plan for me is not always easy, but it brings so much peace when I lay down my own plans and fully embrace His. ✨
There are several scriptures about a wife/mother’s role in the Bible... just like there is for a husband/father.
This particular scripture I used to scoff at, but now, as I surrender more and more of my life to Jesus, I see the importance of this more clearly than ever before. ✨
To blaspheme God means to disrespect, bring shame upon and rebel against Him. Woah. As a Kingdom-minded believer this is the last thing I want to do.
So the opposite of these traits listed in the scripture below that would indicate we are blaspheming God is if we were to: hate our husband and children, if we were loud and obnoxious, if we were unpure, if we didn’t make a home, if we were bad, and disobedient to our husbands (keep in mind here that being obedient to your husband does not mean to accept abuse and/or infidelity).
I‘ve got a lot of these I’m still working on... but like I said, my relationship with Jesus is first and it’s my desire to live by the standards that He has set for me. ✨
I hope you’re encouraged today to write His Word upon your heart and to seek Jesus and His righteousness first so that everything else can be added unto you.
