Here's what it did for me: I am not a naturally patient person...but God built this ability up in me RAPIDLY upon becoming a mom I unfortunately would so much rather prioritize my own needs if left to my own devices...but now, I am SO MUCH HAPPIER spending all day making sure my family's needs are met first I have an issue with loud noises, to where the sheer volume of a baby crying was difficult for me to endure...but I can now happily endure the tantrums, screaming and all, without losing my peace. I never suspected this was possible! ...and more!

Our sweet little muffin..

A day with my family is the best day there is. I will cherish these memories forever. Olive had her first s’mores experience and for the first time in so long she let me rock her to sleep. We are so ready for a summer of fires and memories and now with our boys!🤍 #ChristianMomLife #MomLifeIsBlessed #Proverbs31Woman #FaithFilledParenting #BlessedMotherhood #ChristianMomBlogger #KingdomMinded #FaithAndFamily #GodlyParentin #ChristianMotherhoo #MomForChrist #PrayingMom #StayAtHomeMomLife #ScriptureFilledLife #BibleMom #GraceBasedParentin #JoyfulMama #PurposefulParenting
As parents, one of the greatest gifts we can give our teens is the wisdom and guidance found in God's Word. It's not just about teaching them to avoid wrongdoing; it's about equipping them with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with faith and grace. Start a daily devotional together, discuss a verse over dinner, or share how scripture has impacted your own life. Whatever approach you choose, you're planting seeds of faith that can grow into a deep, enduring relationship with God. #TeachThemWell #ScriptureForTeens #FaithFilledParenting
Olive had the best morning on the farm! Meeting animals and making a craft is what 2 year old dreams are made of 🤍
I have been reading through Mark. And when I say reading I mean stopping ten times to read one chapter to change diapers and feed babies. Life doesn’t always look like a picture but I wouldn’t trade a single thing! Anyways.. If you aren’t familiar with the book of Mark it is endless encounters of how Jesus healed many people and performed many miracles. Something I have read so many times is the account where the disciples are on a boat and Jesus is with them but asleep and then encounter a storm. In that moment the disciples became terrified, woke Jesus up and he immediately calmed the storm but it’s what happened next that caught my attention this time. “Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”” Mark 4:39-41 NLT The disciples had already watched Jesus perform many miracles yet this time they questioned him, they were afraid. Why? I think sometimes it’s easy to watch miracles happen to those around us. It’s easy to have faith when you are watching the harvest of faith coming to be.. but this time the storm was personal. They weren’t watching a miracle they were standing in the middle of the process before the miracle would come to pass. I think we often feel we are close to Jesus, our faith is strong, we pray for people, rejoice when they are healed but when it comes to our own internal faith sometimes it may not be what we think it is until we are standing in a storm. In these moments what’s in you comes out of you and despite Jesus being right there they still questioned. I do this. Maybe it’s just me but none the less I do this. The good thing is despite it all Jesus will continue to show us His faithfulness. He knew the disciples were afraid and had little faith but he calmed the storm anyways. He stayed close. He was faithful and will always be faithful. So no matter the storm, no matter the internal battles. Jesus is close and He will prove His faithfulness.
My 3rd Mother’s Day and my favorite tradition yet .. always matching with my girl. I love being a Mom 🤍 #ChristianMomLife #MomLifeIsBlessed #Proverbs31Woman #FaithFilledParenting #BlessedMotherhood #ChristianMomBlogger #KingdomMinded #FaithAndFamily #GodlyParentin #ChristianMotherhoo #MomForChrist #PrayingMom #StayAtHomeMomLife #ScriptureFilledLife #BibleMom #GraceBasedParentin #JoyfulMama #purposefulparenting
It’s good to have shadows that go where you go, that laugh when you’re happy and hum when you hum.. for you only have shadows when your life is filled with sun. I have 3 beautiful suns that fill my life so completely full.. I would not trade being their mom for even a moment .. they are my favorite chapters in my story, these little souls shape who I am.. Being chosen to be their Mom is my favorite title I have 🤍 #ChristianMomLife #MomLifeIsBlessed #Proverbs31Woman #FaithFilledParenting #BlessedMotherhood #ChristianMomBlogger #KingdomMinded #FaithAndFamily #GodlyParentin #ChristianMotherhoo #MomForChrist #PrayingMom #StayAtHomeMomLife #ScriptureFilledLife #BibleMom #GraceBasedParentin #JoyfulMama #purposefulparenting
Parenting isn’t just about providing food, shelter, and education; it’s a sacred journey of molding hearts and minds, of instilling values that endure beyond generations. In the midst of the chaotic whirlwind of modern life, there’s a beacon of hope and strength that parents can cling to: faith. As we journey through the ups and downs of parenthood, let us never underestimate the power of faith to transform lives. Let us embrace the teachings of the Bible, the wisdom of generations past, and trust in God’s plan for our families. For in the end, it’s not just about raising children; it’s about nurturing souls, guiding hearts, and leaving a legacy of love that echoes through eternity.

Could there be a sweeter sentiment? This is a little game Mercy and I play that reminds me of the children's book, "I Love you more..." usually it's while we're driving or walking alone together and it's always Mercy initiating. I love our quiet competition to scale our love for each other in all of our favorite things. And it almost always leads us to talk about the One who loves her and I most. More than I can fathom or put into human words. Jesus. "...but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 His scale is one I simply can't fully understand, but am so thankful for. For the record, I love Mercy more than cupcakes, breakfast foods, and bright, blue spring skies. She loves me more than flowers and Indy, the cutest dog in the world. And, as Mercy says, "that's a lot." #mumstheword #writewithpurpose #amwriting #christianmoms #christianparenting #iloveyoumore #faithfilledwriting #faithfilledparenting #momlife #momofthree #funnykids #quotablekids #kidquotes

Positive affirmations work wonders! ✨ They can ease stress, build confidence, and even improve how well students do in school. But it's important to note that not every affirmation is good or based on the Bible. 📖 It's so important to remind our kids what God thinks of them and always point them to the Bible. It's good for their hearts, emotions, health, and overall well-being. 💖 Here are some Bible-based affirmations to share with your kids! 🙌 What about you?

Parenting centered on faith is not always easy. I've faced criticism (naysayers), both openly and secretly. Yes, parenting today feels like a battle - because it really is! (Ephesians 6:12) But putting God at the heart of parenting has been transformative. Seeing my daughter grow, knowing her “identity” is defined by God and not by societal standards, fills me with deep gratitude. Despite the errors I've made, she remains steadfast in her faith. I'm incredibly grateful for my amazing, resilient, and diligent daughter. #BlessedParent #FaithFilledParenting

We're too swamped to doubt ourselves. Society pushes a picture-perfect mom image, but I say no to that in the name of Jesus! You know how to parent best. Your kids are your responsibility, and you're perfectly equipped for the job. Believe it, walk in that confidence. Self-care matters, whatever form it takes. I used to think it was just bubble baths and wine, but now I understand it's about nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. For me, it's spending time with God, being creative, and staying active. Find what works for you and make time for it. Being an empowered mom means not doing it all alone. Just like a CEO delegates in a business, empowered moms trust their tribe and seek help when needed. Moms are the OG influencers, shaping generations. Embrace your influence and use it wisely. #EmpoweredMotherhood #MomLife #SelfCareJourney #ParentingConfidence #JesusFirst #InfluenceMatters #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork #MomInfluencer #FaithFilledParenting

I thought I was teaching her a valuable life lesson. Turned out I had it all backwards. The parenting choices I made that day had little to do with my daughter. But what they taught me, I won’t soon forget. Maybe you can relate... Have you ever navigated a tricky parenting situation only to discover later that it wasn’t really a parenting issue at all? But a heart issue…of your own. If so, check out the story in the bio link! #christianparenting #christianmom #faithfilledparenting #faithfulmom
I fully believe God intends parenting to change and shape the adults involved just as much as the children. At least that’s been the case for me. I’ve learned more as a parent than in any other area of my life. And while this job is by far the most difficult one I’ve ever taken on, it’s also the most rewarding. Because being a parent doesn’t just strengthen your character. It changes you. Forever. (Read more in the bio link!) #christianparenting #christianmom #faithfilledparenting #faithfulmom
Becoming a parent shifts your perspective in ways nothing else can. It allows you to see the world through a different lense. It gives you a whole new outlook on life. I cherish the passage of time and the seasons of life much more than I did before kids. I appreciate little moments and hold them closer. And I’ve learned how to love in a way I never even knew was possible. I’m so grateful for this precious gift that God has given me—the opportunity to simply be a mom. #christianparenting #christianmom #faithfilledparenting #faithfulmom
Last week was a hard one. Not any single day, although it may have felt that way, but just the business of life mixed with the busyness of life and parenting... and parenting an often difficult child... and homeschooling... and housekeeping... and trying to call myself a writer without writing a single word. It felt like a lot, ya know? To be completely transparent, if felt like a form of therapy just to post #mumstheword . A small reminder that mothering is so fun and funny and filled with the irony of loving your kids so deeply it hurts, and also lightly fanticizing about running away for a while (not forever). To a private cabin in the woods. Preferably filled to the brim with books and unlimited cups of tea... and blessed silence. After the exhaustion of the week and weekend (looking at you, Pinewood Derby all day Saturday), I just wanted to be alone after Sunday service. I wanted to bake and read and ignore life, but when my daughter ran in the kitchen and said, "I've got to show you something," I followed. And was filled to the brim all over again with love for the vexing little girl, who couldn't stop giggling at her excitement. For her eldest brother, who had dedicated his Sunday afternoon to teaching his second sibling how to ride a bike rather than skateboard as he'd proclaimed he would. And for their brother, who, after a date with Dad, excitedly followed his siblings to the same lot to cheer on what they'd done. Parenting is wild, y'all. This love I have for them. The fullness and the frustration of it all. And then i'm hit with the knowledge that God, the creator of the universe, looks at me with more of that love and so much more grace than I can imagine. I'm carrying that truth with me into the next week. ❤️
How to be God Centered as The Equitable Parent! There are several ways that The Equitable Parent can incorporate God into their parenting in a way that is equitable and respectful. Here are a few ideas to start with: 1. Pray with your children on a regular basis, and invite them to share their own prayers. 2. Encourage your children to seek guidance from God when they face challenges or make decisions. 3. Incorporate Bible stories and principles into your family life. 4. Show your children that God's love is unconditional, regardless of their mistakes or flaws. 5. Encourage your children to serve others in a way that honors God. These are just a few ways that parents can be God-centered while still being equitable. Of course, it's important to respect each child's unique spiritual journey while being God centered. Got value?

The command to "Be strong and steadfast" becomes a rallying cry for mothers. Mothering is not for the faint of heart. Strength is not just a physical attribute but a wellspring drawn from a deep well of faith. The resounding truth that the Lord will never fail nor forsake them becomes a beacon in the dark nights of exhaustion and doubt. "Be strong and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the Lord, your God, who marches with you; he will never fail you or forsake you." (Deuteronomy 31:6)
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What fuels “keeping up with the Joneses” if not the need to look at nice things and say “that’s mine”? It’s about ownership, attributing the value of an item to the value of myself. But what does Jesus say? “Theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” I have something better than the next car, house, clothing item, gadget, thing…. I can look at the vast, invisible, glorious kingdom of God and say “mine.” #contentment #kingdomofGod #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #GTubeStrong #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #FaithFilledParenting

Smiling with a big cheese because it’s almost Christmas Eve 🎄
We all want to have a good relationship with our children. We all want them to make good choices. We all want them to be happy and stay close to the Lord. But despite some of our greatest efforts our children are not always going to follow the “formula” that will lead them on the path we think they should go. Coach Christi Davis from @christidaviscoaching is on the podcast today talking about her book entitled “The Power of a Faithful Mother”. She wrote this book because she followed the “formula” of being a righteous mother, and yet many of her children made choices that that formula should not have produced. It forced her to rework the formula and find one that allowed her to have a strong and amazing relationship with her children despite their choices. This is an amazing episode and one any mother or father should listen to if they feel like they did all the “right” things and still had children make choices they hoped they wouldn’t. Christi will show you that there is still so much hope in having a good relationship with your children as well as help you see that the path your children are on may very well be the exact one they need to be on to get to where they need to be. #parenting #joyfulparenting #faithfilledparenting #eternaltruths #latterdaylifecoaches #ldslifecoaches

In our busy homeschooling life, balancing our well-being with our responsibilities is crucial. Remember, nurturing ourselves is foundational for us to be the pillars our families need. Our self-care, grounded in faith and hope in the Lord, rejuvenates not just us, but also enriches our family life. “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” - Isaiah 40:31 If this message resonates with you or is something you needed to hear today, feel free to share it in your stories. Let’s remind each other of the importance of self-care intertwined with our faith. #HomeschoolMomCare #SelfCareMatters #FamilyWellness #MomLifeBalance #NurturingMoms #HomeschoolingJourney #MindfulParenting #SelfLovePractice #BusyMomLife #CherishYourself #FaithFilledParenting #ScriptureStrength
Happy Friday and welcome to our #storyformedfridays book loop! Our theme for today is FAITH-FILLED PARENTING and today I am sharing with you seven books that have ministered, discipled, and encouraged me greatly as a homeschool mama. 😊💛 See below👇🏻for a list of titles and swipe 👉🏻 for a description of each one. I’ll also share in my stories my reviews from this year for Mother Culture, Triggers, Homeschool Bravely, For the Love of Discipline, and Glimpses of Grace. BOOKS FEATURED: * Parenting by Paul David Tripp * Mother Culture by Karen Andreola * Triggers by Amber Lia & Wendy Speake * Homeschool Bravely by Jamie Erickson * For the Love of Discipline by Sara Wallace * Glimpses of Grace by Gloria Furman * Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full by Gloria Furman Also, be sure to check out what the rest of my #storyformedfriday friends are recommending.👇🏻 @hello.hensleys @keenlykept @mudpieswithsprinkles @livingbythepagewithnatalie @thinkandwonderbooks @blossomingthroughbooks @lifegivingpages @remedystorytime @gordonfamilyreads ✨ All descriptions are from Goodreads, Amazon, or the back cover. ✨ When recommending or sharing books, I am not saying that I agree with everything that has ever been said by an author. I am simply sharing a book that is wholesome for both children and adults, and that there is much that can be appreciated, enjoyed, or gleaned from. ☺️💕
When I think of the parenting books that have impacted me the most I think of the books that point me back to my relationship with Father God. There is no better parent to emulate than The One that shows perfect love. There is no one that wants to see me respectfully treat my kids as image bearers more than Father God. There is no one that can give me strength to be faithful in my role as a parent than the Lord. There is no one that comforts me and covers me with grace on my worst days like He does. What a work the Lord does in us through parenthood each day. Swipe for a couple of books that help develop this perspective of parenting. And be sure to check out what the rest of our storyformedfridays book loop is recommending. @reading.in.azaleawoods @blossomingthroughbooks @mudpieswithsprinkles @keenlykept @livingbythepagewithnatalie @remedystorytime @truthinlovewithwords @thinkandwonderbooks @gordonfamilyreads

Tagging along with Daddy on a work trip to Golden, Colorado. First time on a plane, first time flying with formula and pump and tubing and all that. A little harder than otherwise, but it worked! And I think I realized one of the top reasons I like to travel. I make plans, sure, but there’s always an element of unknown. I’ve seen pictures, but I’m not 100% sure what it’s going to be like. I have less control, less predictability, and less certainty. And here’s what travel is- it’s the reality that we all live in, just compressed into a shorter, more intense experience. This whole year of my “ordinary” life has been full of unpredictability. And it will continue to be that way. I have no idea if Ren will ever get a diagnosis. I have no idea how long she will be on the feeding tube. I have no idea what our childcare/school situation will look like in a year, or if I will end up going back to work or how long everyone in my extended family will be alive or a million other things. Just like traveling, I have to follow the limited information I have and embrace whatever situation I find myself in. When I travel, I love the uncertainty. Because no matter what happens, I have always, always, always made it back home somehow. And it’s the same with life- no matter what happens, I will definitely, certainly, 100% for sure make it home in the end 😉 #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #FaithFilledParenting
Whenever I’m tempted to be un-thankful, hanging out with a happy 2-year-old sure helps. “Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” - Jesus, Mark 10:15 #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParetnting

I was looking through the monthly photos we took of Ren to make her first-year album (she turns 1 soon!), and I realized that by far my favorites are month 10- the month she got her G-tube. She looks happier, healthier, and more stable. The photos were great because we had enough energy to take the time to set them up well. Looking back to not even three months ago, it was a turning point. I’m so glad we did this. But, by another token, what about those other months? The majority, where we were miserable? Well, I’ve come to realize that we made the right choice at the right time. If we had jumped to the tube earlier, I know I always would have wondered if there was an easier solution coming just around the corner. This is why being a Christian makes a difference for me: I have a real, felt experience of not flying blind. My everyday prayer has been “Lord, give us the information we need when we need it.” I trusted that that was the case, and I still trust that it will be the case going forward. I’ve been disappointed and had to wrestle with God before, but in this moment I’m quite happy. Thank you, Lord, for leading us. #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParetnting
Tips for taking pictures with toddlers. Ollie wanted pictures of us today + I’m loving that he’s asking for them so I’m not the psycho that wants so many pictures. 😂 Anyways here’s my tips…. Ha! I don’t have any. Except keep expectations really low + set up that timer. The 3 year old was all about it while the 1 year old wasn’t really feeling it. That first picture only took 6 tries but gosh I just love it + I love the one of Lucy smiling too. We have heard in church over the last few weeks to be thankful in ALL circumstances + yall this is something that I have changed in my life over the last few years. Living in gratitude just changes things. “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Thessalonians 5:18 I don’t mean that there are not things that are still hard but I am saying that choosing to be thankful for the good ones, the gifts from God, make such a difference. Something that I do with the kids that is pretty easy to start to do with yours if you want to teach them how to live in thankfulness, is when we sit down for any meal I ask each of them to list 3 things they are thankful for. Two things happen we all start to think about what we are thankful for so we can answer + I love hearing their answers. I want you guys to know that I’m so thankful for this space. I strive to bring value here for you + your family. I also love hearing what others are thankful for + will send some coffees out tomorrow to some of you that comment below. I’ll go first…I’m so thankful for God that loves me even though I’m very far from perfect, a husband that loves me even though I’m very far from perfect (don’t tell him I said that 😜) + each of our kids for making my life more meaningful. #christianmotherhood #myrtlebeachfamily #myrtlebeachmoms #myrtlebeachlocals #gratefulheart #faithfulmother #blessedmom #thankfulmama #godsgraceinmotherhood #motherhoodjoy #faithfilledparenting #gratitudedaily #momswhopray #christianparenting #momlifeblessings #thankyoujesus #gratefulmoments #heartsfullofthanks #momswithfaith #gracedmotherhood #praiseinparenting #christianmomlife #thankfulheart #raisingkings
Supplies needed for feeding baby #1 vs baby #2 🍼 Baby #1: Nursing Bra Baby #2: Pump, tubing and bag, tubing extension, cleaning and medicine syringes, feeding bag formula, bottle formula, anti-colic bottles, measuring and mixing equipment, plus all the un-pictured duplicates of everything 😂 I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought about it and thought it would make for an entertaining pictoral comparison. #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParetnting
“I know I’m not there yet, mom, but one day I will eat this whole loaf.” 🥖❤️ The odd thing about Ren is that she has no problem with the mechanics of eating as far as we can tell. No allergies, averaions, or tongue/lip ties. It’s still a mystery. Testing continues. But hey, playing with food is a very fun step! #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParenting
Do you ever have the experience of sitting down to be with God and just… nothing? Can’t focus, looking for a Scripture to guide you, searching for something to anchor your prayer, and getting nowhere? Last night I mis-connected Ren’s feeding tube. I woke up at 1am to her crying and found her soaked in formula. The whole feed had gone out the medicine port instead of into her tummy. Ug. You just feel so bad as a mom. She’s so dependent on me, and it stinks when I make a mistake. Fortunately, this wasn’t a big deal, we just changed her, changed the sheets, re-hooked her up and started the feed again. But this morning- I run into the situation where I desire to be with Him but am struggling to focus. I usually pick the Psalms when that happens. (And it’s happened a lot recently because, well, lack of sleep and basic brain chemistry) I like that Psalms can be read as stand-alones, unlike a letter or prophecy scroll. “If an army encamps against me/ My heart will not fear/ If war rises against me/ In spite of this I am confident.” Psalm 27:3 I usually don’t identify with all the talk of enemies and war in the Psalms, but at this juncture I sure do. I never quite know what’s going to “attack” me next, as last night illustrated. This year, it does feel like a war has arisen against me and my family. There’s something fighting fiercely against our joy, our energy, and our ability to get up in the morning. “If war arises against me In spite of this, I am confident.” Yup. It’s true. Just reading that this morning watered my dry heart. #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #ParentingThroughChallenges #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #SpiritualParenting #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParenting
Leave the dishes in the sink the laundry in the basket and the toys on the floor For just an hour Let the sink be dirty the counter be grimy and carpet be dusty For just an hour Leave the emails unanswered the calls unmade and the texts unread For just an hour Leave the to-do list unfinished The questions unanswered The tensions unresolved And get into Beauty Smell it, touch it, taste it Dive in and swim to the bottom Swim farther, immerse yourself Drown in a happy place of worship And come back resurrected Better perspective Some things aren’t subjective It will be ok In the End #poetry #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #ParentingThroughChallenges #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #SpiritualParenting #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParenting
Night feeding. She’s hooked up continually overnight on a slow feed to get the calories that she can’t or won’t take in during the day. It’s been like having a newborn again in that you’re figuring everything out all at once, but it’s different things I’m trying to figure out. What rate do we set the pump at? Interval feed or continuous feed? Did she wake up last night because she was hungry, or she was too full? Every day a little bit more trial and error. I just read this quite from Flannery O’Conner that struck me: “People without hope… don’t take long looks at anything because they lack the courage.” It’s hope that keeps me taking long looks at our situation, tinkering, paying attention to everything Ren does. Every cry, every squirm, every feed. Trying to solve why the pump alarm is going off this time. Changing the feed rate here, adding a little more to it there. I hope not just that she will get better and not need the feeding tube, but that no matter how long until we get there, it’s all for a reason. My firm hope is that as long as I’m paying close enough attention, not a bit of hardship, discomfort, or suffering will go to waste. #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #ParentingThroughChallenges #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #SpiritualParenting #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParenting
I had to really catch my heart yesterday, “mortify the flesh” as the old Puritans used to say it. Gabriel and I were in a parent participation class and he started to try to count his cars in Spanish. I’m quite proud of him! But my immediate response in class was to (loudly) encourage him, not out of joy at his new skill but so that other parents would take notice and think I was a great mom for nurturing a toddler who can count in two languages. If I’m honest with myself, my moment of excitement wasn’t out of love for him- it was to make me look like a good mom to everyone else. Oof. I’m realizing more and more that where my heart is actually at is revealed in the unexpected little moments. Moments that I’m not really prepared for and are so short that it’s easy to shrug off whatever blip just flashed accross my consciousness. But I suspect that if I ignore them now, a decade on I’ll realize that I somehow became someone I don’t want to be. Maybe I don’t need to use my kids to impress others. I’m resolving not to sacrifice their naturally-paced development on the alter of my seft-esteem. “I don’t need to impress X person through my kids.” Repeating this to myself, trying to create some new nueral pathways along that line going forward. Everyone will be better off. #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #ParentingThroughChallenges #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #SpiritualParenting #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParenting
🔟 days post-op. I’m getting used to the idea of being able to feed our little girl in almost any location. So far we have successfully tried: • Parent Participation Class (@parentparticipation_slcusd) • In the car seat • On the living room floor • Out to eat (@slopublicmarket) And in the stroller, but for some reason I didn’t get a picture of that one. Mess-free baby feeding in almost any location? Not worth the price of admission to the g-tube club, but I’ll take whatever perks I can get. Count those blessings. 🤲🏻 #GTubeParent #TubeFeedingParent #GTubeMom #ParentingWithGTube #GTubeJourney #TubeFedParent #GTubeStrong #ParentingChallenges #TubeFedBaby #GTubeLife #SpecialNeedsBaby #ParentingWithPurpose #GTubeCommunity #ParentingThroughChallenges #GTubeAdvocate #ParentingWithGrace #ParentingStrength #ChristianParenting #FaithBasedParenting #biblicalparenting #GodlyParenting #ChristianMom #FaithfulParenting #ChristianFamily #ParentingByFaith #PrayerfulParenting #ParentingForGod #SpiritualParenting #FaithFilledParenting #ChristCenteredParenting
We received feeding therapy and prayer ministry yesterday. Woe to me if our family is taken care of bodily but spiritually is withering on the vine. Too often I have chased the one to the total neglect of the other.
