Musings. My jumbled thoughts gathered into an orderly space.
The wheels in my head are always turning. What truth is found in this ordinary day of motherhood? Am I training my toddler well? How can I teach my children the good news of Jesus in our everyday routines? Is dinner started, the laundry done, the floor swept? Can we dream this big of a dream? Are we juggling it all well? So many thoughts. No where to store it all. No space to sit in the musings for a while.
Writing is something I’ve always secretly loved but never known if I was good at. I love recording our year in a Christmas letter or attempting to perfectly caption a moment on social media. The thoughts are always running, but I have never been brave enough to record them all, to write them all down. In 2024, I’m giving my writing a beginning and my thoughts a house to stay in.
My 2 year old, Simeon, has an obsession with birdhouses at the moment. Every house he sees is a birdhouse, be it an actual birdhouse, a gingerbread house, or a people house. Simeon already knows the importance of home. He takes comfort in the spaces he gets to play, eat, and sleep in everyday. He is nourished and loved within the walls of his home, just like a little bird in a birdhouse. We are attempting to create this place of peace and comfort for our little ones, and in doing so we learn so much. Everyday I am faced with the joys and challenges of motherhood. My journey has really just started. I know that this journey is forming me in ways I can only imagine right now. I am finding my home right alongside my children and learning to find peace in this home as well.
I’m using this blog as a little birdhouse. I’m using it as a place to find rest and think a little while on all the things the Lord is teaching me. Here you will find our family’s journey of raising and training our children. You’ll find our failures and wins, our everyday life and adventures, our messy and routined. I’ll find a home for all of my spinning thoughts, and hopefully you’ll find encouragement that you’re not alone in yours. Join me in my Musings from Mama’s Birdhouse. I’m thrilled to share my journey with you.
