As a mom of young kids, we are stretched to our limits, physically AND emotionally. There are many times when we feel so tired, anxious, or overwhelmed that we don’t know where to turn. In those moments, I encourage you to turn to the Word of God, the only place where we can really find the strength, peace, and guidance that we are longing for.
Tip: Try writing your favorite Bible verses in your phone or hang them on your refrigerator, somewhere that you will often look and turn to in those difficult times.
