Embracing the Rhythms of Motherhood: Unwrapping the Gifts of Each Season

Embracing the Rhythms of Motherhood: Unwrapping the Gifts of Each Season

by Leslie Stapleton | Dec 18, 2023 | Parenting

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1“Mom! I’m bleeding- don’t you even care- look at my toe!” screeched my 8 year old daughter as her eyes longed to find me melting with understanding of her crisis. Meanwhile,...

Finding Comfort in God’s Unfailing Presence: A Mom’s Journey

by Leslie Stapleton | Oct 2, 2023 | Spiritual Growth

In the whirlwind of our lives as mothers, it’s easy to forget that we are never alone. But, the truth is God is always present, right beside us and holding our hand. We just have to remember to look. When our youngest daughter was 15 months old, we rushed her to...

Equipped by God: Encouragement in Raising Godly Children

by Leslie Stapleton | Aug 21, 2023 | Parenting

I remember clearly the expectations I had when I was pregnant with my daughter even before I had even held her  in my arms. I was committed to natural childbirth (it didn’t happen), 100% breast feeding (that didn’t happen either) and I had the perfect set-in-stone...

You'd never call it revenge. But your family can f You'd never call it revenge. But your family can feel it.

The cold shoulder. The clipped answers. Suddenly being too busy to talk. On Part 1 of our new podcast series, Annie Mendrala named these quiet kinds of revenge, the ways old wounds make the people we love pay without us realizing it.

Joseph had every reason to make his brothers pay. Instead he asked, 'Am I in the place of God?' He named the hurt honestly and trusted God with it.

You can do the same. Save this for the next time you feel the freeze coming. 🤍
“I was having sex regularly with my husband. Of co “I was having sex regularly with my husband. Of course I was intimate with him... right?”

Annie Mendrala, momQ’s curriculum director, got really honest in this week’s episode. She was showing up for her marriage, doing her duty, while walls built from years of unprocessed pain kept her husband out.

Physical closeness and real connection aren’t the same thing. And the pain we never look at doesn’t stay in the past. It shows up in our marriages.

The good news? Annie’s story doesn’t end there. God met her in the hard places, and today she and her husband are closer than ever.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart.” Psalm 139:23

🎧 Listen to Part 1 of my conversation with Annie on the momQ Podcast. Link in bio.
“I shouldn’t have to thank him. That’s just what h “I shouldn’t have to thank him. That’s just what he’s supposed to do.”

Maybe. But Dave and Ashley Willis said it simply on the momQ Podcast: “If your husband is doing anything positive, praise him for it.”

“I appreciate how hard you work for this family.”
“Thank you for taking the kids to practice.”

When you choose gratitude, it changes the whole dynamic, and it changes your own posture toward him. Gratitude doesn’t wait until he’s earned it. It’s one way God keeps our hearts soft.

🎧 Hear the full conversation with Dave and Ashley on the momQ podcast, episode #131. Link in bio.

Know a mom who needs this? Send it to her.
You've said 'Say thank you!' a thousand times. And You've said 'Say thank you!' a thousand times. And they still roll their eyes.

Here's the thing: gratitude is caught before it's taught. Our kids learn it by watching us thank God out loud, by giving first, and by hearing that everything we have is His.

These five simple habits come from what my husband and I did raising our kids, and from my momQ teaching on generosity. Pick one and try it at dinner this week.

Save this for later, or send it to a mom who needs a fresh idea. 🤍
