God has given me a passion for motherhood and homemaking. From that passion, a ministry has birthed- No Higher Calling. There is no higher calling on my life than to be wife to Simeon and mama to my littles. Join with me on my motherhood journey as I seek to encourage moms and point them to Christ.

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." -Charles W. Eliot, President of Harvard
It is no secret that I love books! Reading is a huge part of the atmosphere of our home and our family culture. In this episode, we chat about why it is so important to develop a love for reading in your home. One of the best ways to do this is to collect a home library. I share where to find books worth buying and how to build a home library on a budget.

Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.
Jesus Christ is sufficient to be the payment for our sins! Though our sin left a crimson stain, He can wash us white as snow. It is good for us to reflect on the gift we have in salvation. Join me as we discuss truths learned in the hymn, "Jesus Paid It All." May it remind us that we owe our all to Him!

Sleep during the newborn/postpartum season is a hot topic! We are desperate for rest, yet it seems to elude us in that season. There are many methods, tips, and ideas to try. We ask- should we co-sleep? try the cry-it-out method? should a 6 week baby really sleep 8 hours at a time? how often do they really need to eat? So many questions!
In this episode, I don't have magic advice that will transform your nights, but I do have some practial advice as a mama of five. Some tips are to help with baby, but most tips are to help mama!

Through the loss of her father, she learned rich truths about her heavenly Father that sustained her and strengthened her faith.

Every person on this earth has a sphere of influence. God has designed our lives to impact the lives of others. We have a responsibility to steward this influence well. Jesus is our perfect example. He called the disciples to be "with him". It is this withness that allows us to steward our influence well.
We discuss how this truth impacts the Titus 2 model of discipleship and what it should practically look like in the life of a believer.
