"I don’t care what anybody tells you, motherhood is the most wonderful, scary, and difficult role on the planet. We need God’s peace and promises to live out our faith and to parent well. But we can’t pour into everyone else unless we first sit at His feet and get filled.
As a young momma, you may be wondering how to find the time to study God’s Word. Your world revolves around breasts or bottles, diapers and dinners, and laundry. (How do such small people go through so many articles of clothing?) You barely have time to pee, much less sip coffee and study the Bible for an hour."
