Parenting during a season of heartbreak has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Watching my children process their own pain while trying to remain strong for them felt overwhelming at times. But God has taught me that resilience in parenting doesn’t mean having all the answers, it means staying rooted in Him.
There were moments when I didn’t know how to comfort my daughter or how to guide my son through his disappointments. All I could do was pray, trust God to fill in the gaps, and keep showing up. Resilience in parenting is about consistency, even when you feel like you’re falling apart.
Through it all, I’ve seen God’s faithfulness. He’s given me the wisdom I needed when I asked, the strength to keep going, and the assurance that He loves my children even more than I do.

Help me to reflect Your love and faithfulness in all I do. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
