Mama, are you truly watching over your home—or just going through the motions?

Proverbs 31:27 says, “She watches over the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” But let’s be real—how often do we let distractions, exhaustion, or even apathy pull us away from this calling?

For me, this looks like staying off my phone when I’m with my kids. As a homeschooling mom, a mentor, and someone who supports women through my phone, it’s so easy to justify constantly checking messages or scrolling “just for a second.” But I’ve realized that every moment I’m glued to my screen is a moment I’m not fully present with my family.

God didn’t give us these children so we could just survive motherhood. He called us to lead, protect, and steward our homes with wisdom and diligence. That means staying alert, praying over our families, and cutting out the things that keep us from being present and intentional.

Are we guarding what comes into our home? Are we discipling our children daily? Are we resisting laziness in the way we manage our time and energy?

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about obedience. Let’s rise up and take our role seriously. Our children’s hearts are at stake.

How is God calling you to be more intentional in watching over your home this week? Drop it in the comments!

I didn’t always think this way.

I used to believe motherhood was just a season—a time to love my kids, meet their needs, and hope I was doing a good enough job. But when I gave my life to Christ, I realized motherhood is so much more than that.

It’s not just about connecting with our children or making sure they feel loved. It’s about pointing them to the One who loves them most.

Because our job isn’t just to raise “good” kids. It’s to raise disciples. To teach them to know and love Jesus so deeply that His love pours out of them—not just in our homes but to the world around them.

Motherhood doesn’t end when they grow up. It’s a calling. A Kingdom assignment. And the way we steward it has eternal impact.

If you want to walk in this calling with faith and intention, I invite you to join my FREE Facebook community—a space where we disciple, encourage, and grow together as mothers in Christ.

I used to believe what the world told me about motherhood.

That birth was just about getting through the pain.
That postpartum was just a season to endure.
That motherhood was exhausting, and that’s just how it is.

I’ve been guilty of surviving instead of thriving—of believing I had to do it alone.

But God transformed my entire perspective.

Motherhood was never meant to be something we just push through. It was designed to be holy, refining, and deeply supported in community.

We need a reformation—a return to God’s way of birth, postpartum, and motherhood. And I’ve been building something to help you step into it.

Fear wants to control your birth—but it doesn’t have to.

We live in a fallen world, but that doesn’t mean your body is broken. God’s design still stands. He created birth with wisdom and purpose, and when we trust Him, fear loses its grip.

But here’s the problem…
Most women enter birth carrying fear, tension, and doubt—leading to a harder, more painful experience. The enemy wants you to believe birth is dangerous, that you’re incapable, and that you need to be saved from it.

But what if instead of fear, you entered birth with faith?

What if you actually believed…
✨ Birth is not an emergency.
✨ Your body was designed by God for this.
✨ He is in control, even in labor.

Birth was never meant to be feared. The fall brought pain, but it did not erase God’s perfect design. When you trust Him fully, your birth can be a testimony—not a trauma.

“looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Just as Jesus endured the cross with joy, we must too in our motherhood journey.

Let’s stop viewing it as a sacrificial love but worship onto the Lord for giving us our children. Loving them & training them up in His ways. And k

“What if I regret choosing a home birth VBAC?”

Beloved, the real regret comes from not preparing well. Fear thrives where there is no confidence, no plan, and no trust in God.

Too many moms walk into birth hoping things go well instead of preparing in faith—and that’s exactly how fear wins.

But you don’t have to birth in fear. You don’t have to do this alone. You can step into labor fully equipped, unshaken, and anchored in truth.

Inside Reforming Birth Mentorship, you’ll get the preparation, mindset training, and faith-filled support to face birth with confidence.

The #1 Shift That Makes or Breaks Your VBAC Home Birth

Most VBAC moms focus on the wrong thing when planning a home birth… and it’s costing them their confidence.

They spend hours researching midwives, birth supplies, and emergency plans—but completely overlook the most important factor in a successful VBAC: their mindset and faith.

If your heart isn’t prepared…
If fear is still lingering…
If you’re still second-guessing whether your body can do this…

No amount of planning will give you the peace you’re craving.

The real shift?
Letting go of fear and fully trusting God over man.
Strengthening your heart, not just your birth plan.
Replacing doubt with biblical confidence in how God designed birth.

The biggest lie about home birth VBAC?
“If you just believe in yourself, you can do it.”

Sounds empowering, right? But here’s the problem: your confidence can’t be in yourself—it has to be in Christ.

Because when labor gets hard… when contractions feel overwhelming… when fear creeps in at 3 AM… what will carry you through?

Your own strength? Your own mindset? Or the unshakable faith that God designed your body for this and is leading you through it?

This is where most VBAC moms get stuck. They focus on:
❌ Physical preparation (“Let me just make sure my body is ready.”)
❌ Mental prep (“I need to fight fear with affirmations.”)

But they neglect the one thing that actually removes fear at its root—spiritual preparation.

A faith-filled home birth VBAC isn’t just about trusting your body. It’s about trusting the One who created it.

If you’re ready to train your mind, spirit, and body for a fearless, faith-filled birth, I put together a free Home Birth VBAC Success Plan to help you start.

Women Were Created to Bring Life, Not Fear

For too long, women have been stripped of their God-given strength in birth—pressured, silenced, and even violated in the name of “protocol.” But today, we’re reclaiming it.

International Women’s Day isn’t just about empowerment—it’s about restoration.
• Restoring birth as God designed it—not as something to be feared, but as something sacred.
• Restoring women’s authority over their own bodies—because coercion has no place in the birth room.
• Restoring trust in God’s perfect design—because birth was never meant to be an emergency.

To every woman who has been ignored, mistreated, or led to doubt her own body—you were never the problem. You were made for more. And together, we are reforming birth for the Kingdom.

Drop a “YES” in the comments if you’re standing for this reformation!

03/08/2025

Let’s talk about the violations no one warns you about.

They ask if they can check you—
…but then they sweep your membranes without permission.

You say “that’s enough”—
…but their hands don’t leave your body.

They say “Just a little longer”—
…but you already said no.

❌ This is not okay.
❌ This is not normal.
❌ This is not “just how birth is.”

If you left a prenatal visit or birth feeling violated, unheard, or confused, you are not crazy.

It wasn’t your fault. But now, it’s time to take your power back.

✨ DM “REFORM” to learn how to advocate for yourself in birth with boldness, wisdom, and faith.

🔥 A MOVE OF GOD IN BIRTH 🔥

They said she was reckless.
They said she was taking a risk.
They said she should have been afraid.

But they forgot one thing—

GOD WAS IN THE ROOM.

Not the machines. Not the policies. Not the fear-based protocols.

THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS IN THE ROOM.

And when God is present, fear has no place.

This is what happens when a woman chooses faith over fear. When she refuses to bow to the voices that say birth is dangerous, that her body is broken, that she can’t do what God created her to do.

The world calls it a miracle.

But this is just how God designed birth.

He never designed His daughters to birth in fear. He never created our wombs to fail. He never intended for women to feel powerless in the very moment He chose them to bring forth life.

✨ A generation of women is rising up. Women who will birth in power, not panic. Women who will stand on the Word of God instead of the fear of man. Women who will reclaim birth as an act of faith, not fear.

Are you one of them?

🔥 Share this if you refuse to bow to fear. Let the move of God in birth be seen. 🔥

I remember hearing that phrase—you’re eating for two!—and feeling like I finally had an excuse to indulge in all the cravings. Ice cream? Sure. Fast food? Why not. My body was working overtime, right?

But what I didn’t realize was that my body wasn’t just asking for more food—it was asking for better food. Every processed meal left me feeling sluggish, bloated, and even more exhausted than pregnancy already made me. And when birth came? I felt it. I didn’t have the endurance I needed. My body was inflamed. My recovery was rough.

The truth is, eating for two isn’t about doubling portions—it’s about doubling nourishment. Your baby is literally built from what you eat. Your hormones, energy levels, and ability to handle labor are all impacted by what you fuel yourself with. Processed foods work against you, making birth harder and postpartum recovery longer.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31

God gave us everything we need to thrive—real food, real nutrients, real strength. You don’t have to be perfect, but you do get to be intentional. Every bite is either fueling you or draining you.

If you’re committed to nourishing your body God’s way, drop a 🍎 in the comments! And if you need help figuring out what that looks like, DM me “NOURISH”—let’s talk.

Beloved, do you really trust God, or do you only trust Him when things go your way?

It’s easy to say, “I surrender,” but true surrender is tested when we’re put in situations where we have to trust.

Maybe you’re believing for a VBAC, a home birth, or just a pregnancy without fear— but what happens when the doubts creep in? When things don’t go as planned?

Surrender means trusting Him before you see the outcome.

If this spoke to you, drop an “I trust You, Lord” in the comments and let’s pray over each other.

“What if something goes wrong?”—That thought alone is shaping your birth more than you think.

Fear doesn’t just show up in labor—it starts in pregnancy. It’s in the doubts, the “what ifs,” the feeling of needing a backup plan just in case. But beloved, God didn’t call you to birth in fear.

Confidence in your VBAC or home birth doesn’t come from hoping for the best—it comes from preparing with wisdom and renewing your mind now.

The truth? You can’t wait until labor to “just trust God.” You build that trust today. You get clear today. You walk in confidence today.

If fear is holding you back, I can help. My Clarity & Confidence Call is for you if:
✨ You’re battling fear or doubt about birth
✨ You want a clear plan rooted in faith
✨ You need a strong but loving push in the right direction

Too many Christian moms say they’re “trusting God” for birth… but they’re actually just hoping things work out while doing nothing to prepare.

That’s not trust. That’s passivity.

Would you step into marriage without preparing?
Would you go into spiritual warfare without armor?

Then why treat birth like something you can just “see what happens” with?

If you don’t make a plan, someone else will. And trust me… the hospital already has one.

Preparation isn’t about control—it’s about wisdom. It’s about stepping into birth with clarity, confidence, and faith.

“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” – Proverbs 21:5

If you know you need to get serious about preparing but feel unsure where to start… let’s talk.

Book a Clarity & Confidence Coaching Call and walk away with a clear plan, biblical encouragement, and the confidence to step into birth prepared.
