Memorizing Scripture should be an important part of every Christian’s life, starting from a very early age. When I was a little girl, I committed many, many verses to memory and loved every minute of it. Vacation Bible School, Church Camp and Sunday School all played a part in those, but memorizing Scripture at home, with my family, was probably the most influential.
As our babies grow into toddlers, their 24/7 need for our care and attention decreases. But their need for prayers never goes away. If anything, you need to pray over your toddler even more as they grow.
Hey mama,
I know.
Your baby won’t sleep. She just cries and can’t settle down. Or he wakes up every hour to nurse.
You’re tired. You’re frustrated. And you just don’t understand.
But listen closely: God is still with you.
The Bible calls us to be hospitable (1 Peter 4:9, Romans 12:13), but when you have young kids, that seems impossible. You’re just trying to keep tiny humans alive. But what if I told you that being hospitable is as simple as just opening the door?
We all want to look beautiful in our dresses on Easter morning, but when you’ve got school Easter parties, community egg hunts, and family get togethers, you need some faith-based Easter tees to show the world what this holiday is REALLY about!
Being afraid for our kids comes naturally, but that doesn’t mean it’s right. Fear is not from God. Thankfully, God gives us promises in His Word to help us overcome the all-too-common “mom fear.”
Church is supposed to a sacred place, a place to worship our God, a place where we feel safe. But after several recent church shootings, it doesn’t feel safe. It feels scary. So what are we supposed to do? How do we handle this?

Do you love the idea of a Christmas tradition like Elf On The Shelf, but don’t want to distract your kids from the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus Christ? The Shepherd On The Search is the perfect solution!

Praying for our children is a privilege and a blessing. We can change their lives by boldly approaching the Throne of Grace with their hearts, but sometimes it’s hard to know what or how to pray. Join with me as we explore a daily guide to prayer for moms.
You’re nervous, I know. Your baby is still unpredictable. Sometimes she sleeps for 2 hours, but sometimes it’s only 15 minutes and she wakes up screaming.
He went 3 hours without eating the other day, but other times, he’s hungry every 30 minutes. “I don’t want to feed him all during church,” you’ve said. You’re scared to feed with all those people around (“what if she pulls the blanket off?”), but you don’t want to be exiled to the nursery, either.
And on that note, there are so many people around. What if he gets sick? His immune system is still so new. Or what if her diaper leaks and I don’t realize it before it’s too late? Do I need to take a change of clothes for me, too?
What if he cries? What if she screams? Should I just leave him in the nursery? Will people judge me if I bring her into the sanctuary? How do I take care of a newborn in church?
Maybe we should just stay home.
