There are many demands on our time in the postpartum stage but also precious opportunities for rest, growth, thankfulness, and ministry to others.

In the unseen, ordinary work of motherhood, we can remember that God values and rewards our faithful service.

There are many ways we can cultivate our relationship with the Lord, even when we’re short on time and sleep.

Our calling as believers isn’t limited to one season, or even to motherhood. We can faithfully love God and others no matter how we spend our days.

When we face embarrassing moments in motherhood, we can handle them well by giving thanks, moving forward, and fearing the Lord first.

The very traits in our children that frustrate us, can be shaped by the Lord to become strengths for his glory.

Whether we work inside or outside of the home, we trade the worth that we find in our work for the worth of the finished work of Jesus.

Large blocks of free time can be hard to come by for moms. But turning to the Lord in our little moments can make a big difference.

We often desire to be seen and noticed, but when we’re hidden from others we may find the blessing of seeing the Lord more clearly.

The world expects us to use our pregnancy and childbirth decisions to fight our way to the top and revel in our own glory. But all of it—from conception to growing belly to crowning head—was designed to display the radiance of Jesus. He’s our only boast in childbirth.

We’ve all likely registered for baby items that turned out to be non-essentials—those cute, but ultimately unhelpful, items we didn’t really need. We can do the same thing in our parenting process; what do we truly need to raise children up in the Lord?

No doubt about it, motherhood leaves us weary. We know it. We feel it deep in our bones. Jesus came to give us the ultimate rest we need.
