Welcome back to the kitchen table. Parenting isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about walking with God through every moment. 2 Corinthians 4:5-8 reminds me that I’m not doing this alone. Instead of relying on my own wisdom, I ask, “Lord, what would you have me do?” and trust him to guide me.
Right now, that looks like inviting him into your conversations with your kids, leaning on his promises, and surrendering your plans at his feet. It’s not about us—it’s about parenting with him your side, leading the way.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Sharing Jesus with our kids isn’t about giving them a perfectly structured lesson or the "right" words. It’s about living it out—showing them what it means to walk with Him, not just talking about it.
But let’s be honest. It feels hard sometimes. We wonder if they’re really listening, if we’re saying too much or not enough. We don’t want it to sound like another lecture.
2 Corinthians 4 reminds us of what we’re actually called to as moms. Not to have all the answers. Not to force faith into perfect little moments. But to reflect Jesus in how we love, in how we respond, in how we turn back to him again and again.
And when it feels like you’re losing heart—when you’re unsure of what the future holds or if anything you’re doing is making an impact—remember this: Don’t lose heart.
Go back to the one who is your source. Let him fill you so that what overflows into your kids is not pressure or perfection, but faith that is real and alive.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood can feel overwhelming, with constant worries about the future and whether we're doing enough. But in those moments, we can cling to one powerful truth: God has a plan for us and for our children. His outcome is perfect, and that’s where our hope rests.
When we trust in God's plan, we find peace and experience motherhood in a radically different way. So how do we do this?
It’s simple: turn to God's Word. The Bible gives us truths to reset our hearts and minds:
Your True Value:
You are God’s beloved child, and your worth isn’t defined by your circumstances. Romans 8:16
You Are a New Creation:
Through Christ, you are made new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
You Are Freed:
You are freed from the weight of perfection. Romans 6:11
God Is Faithfully at Work:
God is always transforming you, even when you don’t see it. 2 Corinthians 3:18
We Can Overcome Strongholds:
God gives us the power to overcome fears and doubts. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love:
His love for you is unshakable. Romans 8:38-39
These truths help us walk through motherhood with peace, trusting that God’s plan is always better than our own.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood can feel like an ongoing cycle of giving and waiting, with moments of discouragement about whether it’s all paying off. Bethany recently shared a powerful comparison: the pecan tree. A pecan tree doesn’t bear fruit until 10-14 years old, and it’s only fully fruitful after 18-22 years.
Just like a pecan tree, your child is in process, and you are investing in their growth each day. It’s easy to feel discouraged when you don’t see immediate changes, but remember: you are investing for a lifetime. You don’t control your child’s growth, but God does.
James 5:7-8 reminds us to be patient in the process. Patience isn’t about immediate outcomes but about trusting God and remaining committed to the journey. While we may not see the fruit right away, we can rest assured that God is at work, both in our children’s hearts and our own. So, when you feel discouraged, think of the pecan tree—slow, steady growth is happening, and the fruit will come.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Do you ever struggle to see your children the way God does, feeling stuck in your own perspective? Comparison, frustration, and the pressure of outcomes creep in so quickly.
So how do we shift?
2 Peter 1:2 says, “Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” But grace and peace don’t come from control—they come from knowing him. And knowing him means making space to hear him.
Sometimes, we just need to pause. Not react. Not fix. Just sit with Jesus.
Pausing helps us see where our worship is misplaced. Are we worshipping an outcome more than we’re worshipping him? Today, let’s pause. Let’s sit with him. Let’s see through his eyes.
