When Motherhood Feels Overwhelming… Read This


Hey Reader,

Have you ever walked through a season of motherhood where you felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or like you simply couldn’t keep all the plates spinning?

Psalm 25 has been one of those deeply personal passages of Scripture that God has used to steady my heart during those exhausting seasons of raising children, homeschooling, managing a home, and trying to live out everything I believed a “good mom” should be.

Recently, while caring for my grandkids, I found myself relearning some of those same lessons. Isn’t it amazing how God gently circles us back to truths we still need?

This week on the blog, I shared 3 Truths God Taught Me Through Psalm 25 as a Struggling Mom, and I pray they encourage your heart too.

💛 Truth #1 – God Guides You When You Feel Lost
You don’t have to figure motherhood out alone. God promises to show you His ways, teach you His paths, and lead you step by step.

💛 Truth #2 – God’s Mercy Covers Your Failures
Your worth is not measured by how well you balance everything. God meets you with tender mercy and lovingkindness that never runs out.

💛 Truth #3 – Waiting on God Is Active Trust
Waiting isn’t doing nothing. It’s trusting that God is working even when you cannot see movement.

Psalm 25 truly becomes an anchor for anxious or discouraged hearts, gently leading us from overwhelm into peace through surrender and trust in Jesus.

I also created a simple and encouraging tutorial showing how to Bible journal through Psalm 25 using two easy Scripture writing styles.

A Cozy Invitation to Journal with Jesus This Winter

Hey Reader, As winter settles in, so many of you are experiencing ice and snow—some of it in places where you don’t usually see much of either. Back east, where I used to live, they’ve had more than two feet of snow! And here in northern Wisconsin, the snow is deep, and the temperatures have dipped as low as –34 degrees. Brrr! Winter, though, is such a beautiful season to slow down—and I’ve found it’s a wonderful time to practice journaling art, and lettering, even if you think you’re not...
