Motherhood is beautiful, exhausting, sacred, and messy all at the same time. That’s exactly why I wrote Messy Mamas, Mighty Grace: A 30-Day Devotional for Finding Jesus in the Chaos of Motherhood — a devotional created for the mama who loves Jesus but still feels overwhelmed, weary, anxious, and stretched thin some days. Inside you’ll find: 30 encouraging devotionals Scripture-based…

Chelsey Rodgers Romans 12:21 “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Epistle to the Romans 12:21 There are days when evil feels loud. It shows up in harsh words. In betrayal. In injustice. In the exhaustion of breaking cycles no one else sees. Sometimes evil isn’t dramatic — it’s subtle. It’s the temptation to respond in the same tone we were given. To match sarcasm…

Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to live instead of just survive. To wake up and not already feel behind. To breathe without the pressure of yesterday. To exist without the constant fear of what might go wrong. I don’t want a perfect life I just want a break from survival mode. A day where life feels calm, and I don’t have to fight so hard to feel peace. 🫩😮‍💨❤️‍🩹😔🧠

It’s been quite a long time since we all are house arrest. Not an easy job for kids to manage the whole situation by understanding each and every detail of the pandemic that is being fed to them. Every now an then theres a new piece of information and a new advice to cope with the “new normal” living standards. But somehow I found, in contrast to many “ matured” and “experienced” adults, kids have better obliged by the rules and regulations concerned with the ongoing crisis.

I have many a times seen my child giving advices on the do’s and dont’s, that too on the point. Not being able to go to school or the park to meet friends or enjoying the weather outside, technology has taken a toll on their health. So, being a parent of a five year old we have tried to keep him busy in games and chores which would not only build them up to be a self sufficient one but also not let him get bored of this quarantine. In this process of keeping him lively and engaged and not miss his previous normal life, we as a parent have also grown to some extent. I have always been his go to chef, laundryman, teacher, game partner and dancing patner but this lockdown has also made me his HAIRSTYLIST too (which I never thought I could be).
