Motherhood Isn’t A Theif

The toxic culture of motherhood has become almost disgusting. There's plenty of laughable videos, memes, and posts all about how moms need coffee and wine to be decent mothers. But it's not just these messages that are being shared. The lies reach into looks, how fun we are, and more. This has invaded Christian culture too. Moms need coffee and wine, they are unhappy and[...]

Movie Review // Soul

After hearing mixed reviews across from friends and social media about this movie, I didn't know what to think. I had trusted moms saying stay away from the movie and others, including popular Christian mothers, saying that they loved the movie. Nothing else to do but watch it myself. So when I couldn't sleep, I decided to get up, make some coffee, and settle in. *Reme[...]

Simple Hurricane Prep

Hurricane. Living in Louisiana all my life, I've experienced hurricanes of different kinds. Some are no big deal, but others have wreaked havoc. Having our own home and family, we have to be prepared and I'm the one that tends to over-prepare. However, hurricanes can destroy homes, leaving your family with nothing. That's why it's so important to ensure you're prepared for[...]

Back to School Prayers

Back to School Prayers! There's a million things in a day that I could pray about for our kids, especially now with school in our future. I wanted to have some easy, tangible prayers for when life is busy. So I created these little prayer cards to help me be intentional and accountable to specific topics.   I'm considering punching holes in them and attach[...]

Well hey y’all. There’s a bunch of new friend Well hey y’all.

There’s a bunch of new friends here. So I’m saying hi.
I’m Lacey. Some friends call me Lace. It used to bother me but I see it as an enduring term now.

Let’s get to know each other. 

I’m a nerd 👩🏼‍🏫
I love to garden 👩🏼‍🌾
I’ve got an Ag degree 
I’ve picked up golfing with my husband 🏌🏼‍♀️
🌈Genesis is my favorite book of the Bible. And Revelation. 📜
🐯 Geaux Tigers 
I danced for 18 years 🩰

I upset people online everyday by sharing scripture, Truth, and my life. Seriously, I’m not here to upset anyone but surprisingly it happens a lot.

♦️ What’s your fav book of the Bible?
♦️ what’s some random fact about yourself?

So glad you’re here. If you’re new...welcome to crazy town.
One of my favorite spots. J built a shelf for me. One of my favorite spots. 
J built a shelf for me. He considered that I wanted to put larger books there so I could research while studying.
One day there might be some actual organization to the books but for now it’s what I’m using. Not to mention the stack to the left (the conveniently cropped portion of the desk). 

While this image looks great, I would love to remind you that you don’t need all of the books and shelves and things.....you need a new heart. A heart desiring to live a life glorifying God.

What we need is to get rid of our pride and allow the Holy Spirit to sanctify us.
We need to allow the Holy Spirit to use God’s word to change us and renew our minds.
Toxic mommy culture. Toxic wife culture. The mock Toxic mommy culture.
Toxic wife culture.

The mocking isn’t funny. Our husbands aren’t buffoons. Sure we put up with things but guess what?!?!? They put up with us too.

What if Christian women changed the narrative on marriage?
What if we glorified God in deed and word?
What if we took the vow, the covenant of two becoming one seriously?

Husbands are image bearers. We should talk about them as image bearers.
Children are too.

Obviously, we need community to talk and vent and process. But that’s not online. That’s a close friend that will hold you accountable in the situation also.

Make marriage great again.
Good Friday is good because a Good God made a way Good Friday is good because a Good God made a way for some wretched people.

Lord let us never forget what we deserve and the price You paid.

“It is finished.” - John 19:30
Seven years I’ve been a mom. Ma-ma-ma-ma. Mommy Seven years I’ve been a mom. 
Ma-ma-ma-ma.
Mommy.
Mama.
Mom.

To think that God entrusted a sweet portion of His creation for me to steward blows my mind daily. Never do I feel qualified.

Seven years and I have a million things I wish people would have told me when I was starting out.

📌 Don’t slack on it because today counts for eternity.
📌 Do it all to His glory.
📌 It’s hard work but it’s holy work.
📌 Basic hygiene is your responsibility not your reward.
📌 Don’t “reward” yourself for what you’ve been called to steward.
📌 Enjoy every second because it’s all bittersweet.
📌 One day, you’ll see fruit. No matter how small, you’ll see some fruits of your labor.
📌 Ignore the world. Read the Word.

The world’s narrative for motherhood is disgusting. Getting out of bed earns you a trophy. We’ve lowered the standards so much that we fear the challenge of raising kids into adults.

I wish that someone would have smacked me with a bible and never ever let me buy into the self focused, toxic motherhood narrative.

You won’t find that here either. I want to be dignified (1 Tim 3:11). It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. All for God’s glory.

Here’s to motherhood. The cheek kisses, the sleepless nights, the bittersweet moments of it all.

Mama, you can do hard things. Because God had called you to do them. Do it all....for His glory!
