If motherhood feels heavy today


Happy Thursday, Reader!

Some days motherhood feels joyful and full.

Other days it feels like your toddler's trying to shove a thousand cheerios in your face in under 7 seconds.

There are dishes in the sink, kids arguing in the background, and a quiet voice inside wondering if you’ll ever be alone with your thoughts again.

If today is one of those days, I want to remind you of something simple but powerful:

One day your kids will have a small army just like them.

Until then, you're the best parent for them right now.

Not someone more patient.
Not someone more organized.
You.

Your presence in their life matters more than perfection ever could.

Here’s a verse I’ve been holding onto lately:

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
— Galatians 6:9

Motherhood is holy work, even on the messy days.

You’re doing better than you think.

Cheering you on,

Micah

Hey Thursday, Reader! I’ve been a little quiet lately (almost 18-months quiet), and I wanted to share why. The last 18-months I've been navigating the death of my 15-year marriage. It’s hard to find the right words for something like that and I didn't know how to show up here when I was barely showing up for myself. There has been grief.There has been a lot of prayer.And there have been many moments where God carried me when I didn’t feel strong enough to stand on my own. But through all of...

Happy Thursday, Reader! Last year, we were sitting on the front porch, the kids holding their little sparklers and waiting (not-so-patiently) for the neighbor's fireworks to start. When the first sparkler lit up, my youngest whispered, “It's like Jesus' light.” It caught me off guard. Because in that moment—surrounded by the noise, the humidity, the chaos—I saw what he saw. Awe. Wonder. Light in the darkness. And I thought, our freedom really is a gift from above. That night reminded me how...

Last week, I found myself scrambling to organize a last-minute family event. Between juggling schedules, meal planning, and keeping the kids entertained, I was feeling overwhelmed. Then I remembered something small but powerful—a printable planner I had saved from my favorite shop. That little sheet helped me map out the day in minutes. Suddenly, everything felt more manageable. The kids were happy with a fun activity sheet, and I could breathe knowing I had a clear plan in front of me. This...
