To Our New Mercies for Moms Community, What an am

To Our New Mercies for Moms Community,
What an amazing journey these last four years have been! From our first Facebook live, to the release of our printed sets and live events, you have been the breath in our ministry and the reason we dreamed of this community--to encourage you in Christ as you raise your children.
I have been deeply blessed to partner with Jill and Mary K through our ministry in addition to calling them friends. Behind the scenes they have been amazing mothers, wives, business women, and caring sisters in Christ. And besides that, they are two of the most talented women I know.
Yesterday we shared my devotion, God of All Seasons, and it is with so many mixed emotions that I announce I am stepping away from my role in New Mercies for Moms as I enter a new season of life.
As many of you know from our devotional content, my family and I went through a very difficult time a couple of years ago when we lost our baby at the beginning of the second trimester. Since then, the Lord has healed me in immeasurable ways and brought so much unexpected joy. One of the most precious ways He has done so is through giving me an opportunity to teach high school Spanish at my boys' school. It was a long-held dream of mine to be a Spanish teacher, and I had all but forgotten it until the Lord opened the door last Spring. I have found so much healing and purpose in this new season, and am humbled by the Lord's tender and intimate care for me.
Because of this new calling, I need to step away from my role at NM, so I can better balance my duties as a mom, wife, and teacher. Jill, Mary K, and I have shed many tears over this transition, but we are all in agreement that it is God's best plan.
I look forward to continuing to follow along with you as part of the audience and soaking in the wonderful content Jill and Mary K have planned. Thank you for all of your support and belief in our ministry! New Mercies will always hold a very dear, special place in my heart. I am forever grateful for your support!
Keep pressing on!

When Jill, Mary K, and I started New Mercies for M

When Jill, Mary K, and I started New Mercies for Moms, I was in the thick of toddler life with two boys under the age of five. It was a hard season! When my two-year-old had a meltdown in the Target checkout line while his brother licked the gum display, I thought motherhood would be like this forever.
Now, four years later, I find myself in a much different place. My kids are in school full-time, they sleep through the night most weeks, and are able to dress themselves. The Lord has led me into a broad place where He has expanded my time and energy and given me special callings in addition to motherhood, like precious jewels He picked out just for me.
As mamas, we will continue to face a variety of seasons as we navigate this life. There will be times of weeping, times of laughing, times of tearing down, times of rebuilding, times of casting things out, and times of gathering things in. It would bid us well to remember the ebb and flow of these seasons in each stage of our journey. In the challenging seasons–to remember that those seasons won't last forever. In the wonderful seasons–to recognize them as special gifts God has ordained for us. And in every season, to remember He is Lord over all.
If I could send a message to myself four years ago, I would say: "Hang in there, mama! These days are hard. Really hard. But the Lord has beautiful things on the horizon. He sees you and He knows you. He has exciting things planned after you faithfully serve in this place." If you are in a difficult season today, that is my very encouragement to you.
Press on, Mama!

Philippians 4:5 says, “Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near”
As someone who likes to “set the record straight,” online spaces can be frustrating. It’s tempting to go to battle against every wrong-headed idea that’s posted.
But Paul offers us one good reason to disengage from the chaos. “Sister,” he says, “The Lord is near.”
Paul is reminding us of two truths. First, time is short! Christ could return any day. We ought to prioritize the spread of the gospel over the spread of our personal ideologies.
Second, when Christ does show up, He will set the record straight. We don’t have to prove our positions to the world--certainly not at the expense of our character.
When you feel baited, pause and pray, instead. Remember, the Lord is near!
Press on, Mama!

When Paul encouraged the Philippians to let their

When Paul encouraged the Philippians to let their gentleness be evident to all, I thought he was telling them to be mild-mannered and quiet. Unfortunately, “mild-mannered” isn’t a word my family would use to describe me.
But the Greek word Paul uses for “gentleness” means so much more than being mild and quiet. To Paul’s Greek audience, the word “epieikes” would have brought to mind a person full of life and grace; someone who was kind, patient, reasonable, and generous.
With a single word, Paul was describing Jesus.
Maybe you wouldn’t consider yourself a mild-mannered mama, but when we treat those around us with care, concern, and kindness, we display Christ’s humility and His gentleness becomes evident to all.
Press on, Mama!

“Git-outta-our way, buddy!!” My eyes darted to the

“Git-outta-our way, buddy!!” My eyes darted to the rearview mirror just in time to see my three-year-old shake his dimpled fist at the truck in front of us. I knew my toddler’s road rage was learned behavior, and this time I couldn’t blame Daniel Tiger.
It’s humbling, isn’t it? To see our harsher words echoed by those tiny lips? Never have Paul’s words from Philippians 4 felt more pertinent to me than in this season of motherhood.
Choosing to speak with kindness and humility goes deeper than merely being a nice person. It’s a radical choice to display Christ’s goodness to a world that is lost and afraid.
Speak life, Mama. Speak grace. May your gentleness be evident to all.
Press on, Mama!
