Motherhood is one of the most powerful ways God helps us grow, both spiritually and emotionally.

It’s more than just being tired or busy—it’s the way God uses everyday life to shape who we are. In the loud, messy, and ordinary moments, He invites us to grow more like Jesus.

Being a mom means putting others first, even when it’s hard. It means loving your kids when you're exhausted, showing kindness when you're frustrated, and serving when no one notices. Through this, we begin to understand the heart of Jesus—who gave everything for others.

Jesus gave His life out of love. As mothers, we reflect that same love in small ways every day—when we hold a crying child, do the dishes again, or pray over our kids while they sleep. These moments may feel small, but they matter deeply to God.

Sometimes motherhood shows us how weak we feel, but those are the very places where God steps in. When we feel like we can’t do it, He reminds us that His strength is enough. He gives peace in the middle of the mess, and wisdom when we feel lost.

Motherhood isn’t just about raising kids—it’s also about how God is changing us in the process. He’s teaching us to trust Him, to grow in patience, and to lean on His grace.

We see signs of God’s love all around us—in a child’s laughter, their endless questions, and even their stubbornness. These moments teach us about God’s love for us. And the more we lean on Him, the more we become who He’s shaping us to be—not because we’re perfect, but because He is.

Today, the world often sees kids as a burden or something that gets in the way. But God sees children as a gift. When we feel that pressure from culture, we can stop and ask God how He sees us. Psalm 139 reminds us that we were wonderfully made in the womb. He gave our lives value before we were even born—and He gives that same value to every child. His mercy is new every day and gives us strength to keep loving and leading.

And through all of this refining, God reminds me—He was there in my own childhood, even when I didn’t see it. He was there in the chaos, in the confusion, and even in the pain. And now, as I care for my children, He is still healing parts of me I didn’t know needed healing.

When I lean on Him, I’m not just surviving motherhood—I’m stepping into something sacred. I’m breaking generational curses. I’m standing in the gap, asking God to do what only He can do. There’s a spiritual battle happening beneath the surface—behind the tantrums, the anxiety, the exhaustion. But every whispered prayer, every intentional choice to show up and love like Jesus, every breath of surrender—it all pushes back the dark. It all matters.

Because this isn’t just about today. It’s about the legacy we leave. It’s about our children’s freedom. And I believe God uses our ordinary obedience to do extraordinary kingdom work.

To the mama who feels tired, unnoticed, or unsure if any of it matters: it does.

This work is holy.

And He’s in it all—even the parts no one else sees. Especially those.
