When my first child was born, I was consumed by the overwhelming feeling of desperation. The sleepless nights, the acid reflux, and the exhaustion all began to drain me day after day.

I’m excited to feature a guest post today from my friend Sara Wallace, Gospel-Centered Mom! “I’m doing it wrong. This isn’t working.” From the moment we hold our sweet babies in our arms these thoughts waste no time creeping in. I remember having these thoughts when I first started nursing and the first time I buckled a floppy newborn into a car… Read more
I had been a Christian for years. As a young, married, mother-of-two, I loved God, and I made reading and following His word a priority in my life.

So many decisions to make, and many of them while at least one of you is crying. You learn as you go, and one of the most… Read more
