On the blog & podcast this week: Little By Little On the blog & podcast this week: Little By Little by @jacelya_jones “I’ve asked God for lots of things, and before I grew in my understanding of Him (and myself), truthfully, I often felt like my prayers were just meaningless breath headed to a black hole—a place where things went in, but nothing came out. No answers. No response. No help from God. I wanted to stop being angry without growing enough to understand and face the source of my rage. I wanted to be a successful writer without having grown in skill or the courage to submit my work and face failure. I wanted to have friends before my ability to trust others with authenticity had grown. I wanted lots of things and asked for them without the maturity to understand what I really need and what’s good for me. In the same way, I’ve wanted to be a better parent—responsive to each child’s unique needs. It’s taken research and gradually picking up the tools to see growth in our connections. I’ve learned to listen when I’m tired. To say, ‘I’m tired,’ or ‘I’m in a bad mood, but I care about what you’re saying.’”
This week, @rusticandredeemed Jana Fraley shares This week, @rusticandredeemed Jana Fraley shares a story about helping her son be brave as the new kid in school. “A new school with no friends was tough enough; being the lone ranch kid in the 4th grade was turning out to be excruciating. He was the only one out at recess wearing jeans instead of shorts or athletic pants, cowboy boots and not tennis shoes, a belt and buckle (a buckle that just months before he had won at the county fair and was his pride and joy). The kids weren’t mean to him, he just didn’t fit in. They’d ask Kade, ‘How can you run in those cowboy boots?’ To which he’d answer with a shrug, ‘With two feet just like you, I guess.’ Or, ‘Why do you always wear that belt and big old buckle?’ His reply, ‘How else am I supposed to keep my pants up?’ Kade didn’t change just because his school setting had changed, which at once made me proud of him but also made me nervous that he was never going to fit in at his new school.” Jana, thanks so much for sharing this heartwarming story of how your son found his way in a new school.

“When I first became a mom, looking at my brand “When I first became a mom, looking at my brand new baby’s little face, I was overcome with the importance of my new role.

“If we do our jobs correctly, our children will “If we do our jobs correctly, our children will seek their own way, their independence. However, his plea this gray February afternoon resides more deeply within him than just a natural angst to be free. ‘I know; I have been waiting to hear this.’ My quiet answer allows him to keep talking. By the grace of God alone, I know better than to defend his father and me. I know better than to justify anything we have done in the twenty-plus years leading up to this one moment in the front seat of a black Hyundai Sonata in the near-freezing rain. I know I just have to listen. So, I listen to his grievances. Some are legitimate, but some words ring false, the truth hidden by a hurt he can’t overcome and one I can’t take away. He feels trapped by his college choice, pressed against a future he isn’t sure he wants, persecuted by individuals who were supposed to be friends, and disappointed in his parents. It’s always easier to assume our perpetual pain is someone’s fault. I decline to debate with him, forfeiting my opportunity to be ‘right’ so he will know I hear him. At each perceived cry for help, we talk about options and resources, for him and for us as his parents, the remaining three souls in our little clan. In the end, I walk away from my six-foot-five little boy, letting him drive west on the rain-slicked streets with all his possible choices nestled next to him in the seat I just vacated. I don’t know if my sweet boy will shut us out completely or take the wrestling match of words with him. As helpless as I felt when my daughter was dying, the danger I sense in this moment with my son threatens to steal my breath.” ~ Lisa Witcher, from the essay “Be Strong and Courageous” If you missed the essay last week from @mzwitch11 — hop over to KindredMom.com to read it! . . . . . . . #kindredmom #inbeautyandchaos #rawmotherhood #thisismotherhood #newbook #joyfulmamas #postpartum #postpartumsupport #selfcareformoms #intentionalmotherhood #stopdropandmom #newmom #myhonestmotherhood #lifeofmom #mombloggernetwork #connectingmoms #momcommunity #MamaTribe #theartofslowliving #theygrowsofast #simpleandslow #myeverydaymagic #simplemoments #shareyourheart
This week on the Kindred Mom blog, Lisa Witcher ( This week on the Kindred Mom blog, Lisa Witcher ( @mzwitch11 ) shares a truly courageous story—navigating empty nest life with her son after the tragic loss of her daughter a few years prior. Today I wanted to honor the memory of Lisa’s beautiful daughter by sharing this photo of her, and say a prayer for all mamas who have lost a child and live with the constant ache of grief. Lisa—we are so honored to host your story. Thank you for sharing your heart and your girl with us. . . For mamas with a deep and constant ache: God, please be present in the quiet and lonely moments. In Your mercy, bring comfort and healing. Help those of us who have not lost a child learn how to uphold and encourage those who have.

“In a season when I already felt overwhelmed, th “In a season when I already felt overwhelmed, the added pressure of coordinating my son’s extracurricular studies led me to frequent grumbly, under-breath murmurings and wrinkled brows. So many things had battered my defenses, leaving them paper-thin and ineffective. I was cranky, tired, and constantly felt on edge. Any time I thought there was about to be a semblance of normality, something would shoot out of nowhere and knock everything off-kilter again. I felt like I was in continual transition. Whether it was from illness to healing, from an old role to a new one, or from homeschooling to in-person school and possibly back again, I was fed up. As I went through the concepts of number bonds with my daughter, I saw the parallels between us—I am also very reluctant to drink from the unpalatable cup that has been placed before me. Looking back, I know I didn’t handle the bumps of the year with the kind of grace I want to have.” ~ Wemi Omotosho, Stretch?

Hi friends! Lindsey here (@lindseycornett), with m Hi friends! Lindsey here (@lindseycornett), with my little guy who’s not-so-little anymore. If he were here, he’d want you to know he is now officially 7.5. Emphasis on the 0.5. On the Kindred Mom blog earlier this week, I shared about this boy when he was a little baby with chronic ear infections. I wrote about how motherhood asks us to dig in and hold on for the long haul. I’m the kind of person who likes to learn a lesson once and move on, and I like to see quick resolutions too problems. But motherhood doesn’t always work that way, does it? Earlier this week, a friend was talking about a motherhood issue and said, “I don’t know what to do, but I’m showing up.” And YES. Me, too. Most days, I don’t know what to do, but I’m showing up for the long haul. These days, showing up means saying “yes” to board games more often than I’d like, making sure every kid has something they enjoy on their dinner plate, and leaving my phone upstairs until lunch time (sometimes). How are you showing up today? . . . . . . . . . #kindredmom #inbeautyandchaos #rawmotherhood #thisismotherhood #joyfulmamas #intentionalmotherhood #stopdropandmom #myhonestmotherhood #lifeofmom #mombloggernetwork #connectingmoms #momcommunity #MamaTribe #theartofslowliving #theygrowsofast #workfromhome #WFHmom #wahm #workingmom #coffeeandcrumbs #wellwateredwomen #motherhoodrising #motherhoodcommunity #momstrugglingwell
Today, @lindseycornett is up on the blog, sharing Today, @lindseycornett is up on the blog, sharing about being in it for “The Long Haul”. Oh man, if we’re not all feeling this message right now—learning how to stay the course, stay in the ring, even when challenges arise. Mamas—YOU ARE CHANGING THE WORLD. It doesn’t feel like it, perhaps. Maybe you’re down on yourself for being impatient, putting your kids in front of screens, feeling discouraged, but I will bet you have done a million small things this week to nourish your children, get them the rest and love they need, and you are persevering. You are changing the world for each one of your kids every time you show up for them. Cheering and praying for you today. Here is an excerpt of Lindsey’s essay, “So much of motherhood exists in the follow-up appointments. The handful of firsts and lasts are dwarfed by the sheer volume of the again and again and agains. Meals. Potty breaks. Read alouds. Sibling squabbles and apologies. Reminders about choosing love, being brave, making mistakes, and trying again. ‘You already had a snack.’ ‘Your birthday is still three months away.’ ‘You may not speak to me like that.’ ‘I love you.’ ‘I love you.’ ‘I love you.’  Pastor and theologian Eugene Peterson once borrowed a phrase from Nietsche to describe the Christian faith as ‘a long obedience in the same direction.’ And my, if that isn’t also a good description of motherhood. It is long. It is often marked by sameness. But we keep showing up. Faithful and present, even if nothing ever changes. And isn’t that what Jesus says to us? ‘I love you, even if nothing ever changes. I am faithful.’” Find it on KindredMom.com or listen on the Kindred Mom podcast feed. Tag a mom you know who is persevering even though times are tough.

As Advent begins, we consider what it means to wai As Advent begins, we consider what it means to wait well. 

We wait, just as Mary waited. 
We wait, as the Israelites waited. We wait, all of us—waiting for a pandemic to end, for life to return to “normal”, to be reunited with friends and family. ⁣ Who knows the tension of waiting better than a mother, who has waited to conceive, waited to adopt, waited to labor, waited to hold her little one to her chest, waited for her grown children to return home? ⁣ We have experience with waiting. May that experience lead us well through this next season, eagerly expecting the arrival of Christ. 

Ready for some good news? It’s coming. #ipreview via @preview.app
