Well, kid’s virus vs. mom’s sleep is 0-3 . I’m exhausted and just praying for this thing to pass. Why is it taking so long for her to get better!! Was feeling SOO just tired and out of gas, so I decided, let me just try to start my morning with my Bible study book rather than scroll my phone and wouldn’t you know the next chapter in my book to read was by chance all about patience for God’s plan. Knowing He is with me ALL THE TIME, and having patience for what you need. How He never leaves us even when we feel helpless and tired, and it’s our job to just be still, and wait to hear him. Wow what a sign. He knew exactly what I’d need this morning but it was my job to choose HIS word today over mindless scrolling. He is there to give me the exact support and fill my tank when it’s empty IF I’m willing to choose HIM, spend the time with HIM over anything else. Feeling thankful and reenergized knowing He’s got me. He’s here for me in long sleepless nights. Thankful I am awake to the fact that choosing Him will always be the answer to my bad days and my good ones too. Have a blessed day and choose Him today.

Bec is going live on instagram at 8 pm est to chat!

Been sleepless 2 nights in a row with a pretty sick kid over here and could use a bit of prayer that she turns a corner so we can finally sleep tonight 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Signed, One exhausted mom

I am so happy to host Monday nights with everyone! For those who don’t know me, I’m a SAH homeschooling mother of 2 girls, wife, pre-children genetic scientist who worked as a manager within a large genetic research facility, but left it all behind because I knew God was calling me to raise these babies full time, and it’s been the biggest blessing. I started the podcast homeschool happy hour in 2023 in an effort to support and give confidence to homeschooling moms around the globe. I’m someone who suffers with auto immune disease and am on a holistic journey to heal my body. I also have recently taken a deeper dive into my relationship with my faith and God, including having started reading the Bible for the first time this year. Come chat with me Mondays at 8:30pm EST about it all! From motherhood, to marriage, to careers, faith, health, and the stress as a mom who is juggling it all! Let’s vent, share ideas, support, laugh, cry, anything you need to feel like “okay, I can do this”. We’ve got you! We are your tribe.

As we are constantly shifting and growing, I am finding that there are a lot of things in my life I tolerate that drain me. Getting rid of some of these things is lifting a heavy weight... For example, I have been making dinner AND cleaning it up. My daughter helps me cook. Then everyone walks away after putting their dish in the sink. No offer to clean dishes. "When did this happen?" When I allowed it! So last night, I finished my plate and said "since the girls cooked the boys are cleaning right?" I got a smirk, a roll of the eyes, and they got to work while I read to a book. Sometimes all I have to do is open my mouth. It is less work than carrying an angry grudge. What do you need to stop tolerating today?
