Rapt Motherhood exists to encourage busy moms to keep their eyes, their rapt attention, on Christ. As I strive toward this goal, I'm going to focus less on social media and more on creating valuable content through blog posts, emails/resources for subscr… https://t.co/T3mxpWK7NJ

Throwback to 10 years ago! Facebook sent me a notification today that my husband and I have been friends for 10 years. If you're married, how long have you known your husband?

What habits or rituals do you have?⁠

When I need to really deep clean the house, I put on my otter socks followed by my tennis shoes. The socks make me happy and, for some reason, wearing tennis shoes helps me be more productive.⁠

What does it look like to meditate on the Bible? In an ideal world, I imagine myself with a fancy cup of coffee, journal open, looking out an open window through which I can hear the birds singing.⁠

Seriously, who are you?⁠
.⁠
It's easy for me to just share advice, encouragement, verses, etc and lose sight of who is actually reading my words. I pray that what I say helps you look to Christ, but who exactly am I talking to?⁠

"Whenever you are going through a trial, hardship, or even day-to-day life, you may find yourself exhausted, lonely, and lacking all patience. These are the times that I let my guard down, giving way to anger and selfishness. When you are just “done,” lo… https://t.co/vgJplrg0LS

"Yes, mama! I talk my God too!"⁠
.⁠
Yesterday, my oldest asked why I was making coffee. I used this as an opportunity for a Gospel conversation and told him that I was up early to read my Bible.⁠

He replied, "And talk God?⁠
I said, "Yes! Isn't… https://t.co/aJhmiT36QO

Are you praying, reading your Bible, and going to church because you think that these are good things you are supposed to do - that they will somehow make God love you more? - if so, read Ephesians 2:8-9

What spiritual discipline do you most struggle with incorporating into your day?⁠

What's your favorite thing about siblings?⁠

I grew up an only child, so it's been so fun to see these two interact, especially as the baby gets older. I pray that their relationship is one of unity and peace - the same characteristics we should ha… https://t.co/xe5DVYVXF9

“A mark of those who have experienced the true grace that comes through faith in Jesus Christ is that they take pleasure in being alone with God. Solitude provides the opportunity to meditate on Scripture, to pray, and to enjoy the worship of God in priv… https://t.co/xXwg8QeCgn

I'm a hardcore, stereotypical introvert. I love my kids fiercely, but still, crave alone time to recharge. When I first became a mom, I felt like I was weird or didn't love my son enough because I was constantly wanting time away from him. I knew I was a… https://t.co/iw3bGsp4Xf

Steadfast by @sandramccracken has been the song I've listened to most for at least the past year. It's such a beautiful song of praise that is filled with pictures of God's goodness and faithfulness that I need to constantly remind myself of. Click the l… https://t.co/n1OFQc46bx
