It is Holy Week, and in honor of this most reverent week and holiday, I wanted to share a bit about the Passover and how so much of ​the Exodus story points us right to Jesus. What an incredible way to start our week and hopefully help you posture your heart towards what Easter is actually about.

​

Join me this week as we talk about Jesus in the Passover, and I will be sharing some of what our family does, as Christians, to honor and celebrate this glorious day.

If you are interested in learning so much more go listen to The Bible Project podcast on : Jesus in the Exodus. Every episode is AMAZING! You won't be disappointed.

I hope this episode was informative as well as encouraging to you to find new ways to help you celebrate Easter (and Passover) in your home. It is never too early or too late to start new traditions! May this one be a blessing to you and your family.

Happy Easter, friends!

I know mama, you are tired. You have been burning the candle at both ends. As busy moms, rest may feel like a far-off concept, however, Jesus is inviting you and me, as believers, into a life of real rest, rest for our souls.

Come with me as we continue the Weary Mama Series and discuss chapter 8 of my book, REST FOR THE WEARY MAMA: WORDS OF HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE WORN-OUT MOM, “Finding Rest”

A brief practical way you can find true rest, even in the chaos of motherhood:

Remove distractions

Entrust God

Stay in God’s word

Talk to God

True rest is found with a heart well-connected to the Father.It takes practice and intentionality, but we are promised the gift of soul rest when we learn to come to Jesus and learn to do life with Him.

If you haven’t read or gotten a copy of the book yet, go getyours today! And if you have, would you take a couple minutes to go leave a review?

Leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads

They truly mean the world to me and continue to help get the word out to all the other tired mamas out there who may also need some hope and encouragement.

Thanks, friends, as always for being here!

Hey friends! Join me this week as we take a little break from the Weary Mama Series to talk about Lent and how we can use this season to fast from the things that are distracting us from God.

If you are anything like me, as moms, we can get so overly busy and distracted that our daily hustle pulls us away from time with God and the closeness He desires for us to have with Him. We unpack Luke 4:1-13, the account of Jesus who after fasting for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert is then tempted by Satan. What a powerful reminder to us to be on our guard and to continue to stay in God's word as our weapon against the schemes of the devil.

Account can be found in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13

If you struggle with knowing the Bible is true and valid, here are some great sources I have read over the years that have helped me:

The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

Cold-Case Christianity by J. Warner Wallace

Obviously, there are more out there, but these are a great start.

As you ponder this week's topic, ask yourself as you go into this Lenten season, "what is something that is distracting me from having time with God?" And then I challenge you to be intentional about trying to change that. Lent is a beautiful time to posture our hearts back to God, to remove the things that are pulling us away from Him and dive deeper into fellowship with Him.

I love you friends and am always here praying for you and cheering you on!
