I think sometimes we misunderstand what God's peace means. 💗

His peace doesn't mean bad things won't happen.
It doesn't mean there won't be heartbreak, disappointment, sadness, or hard seasons.

What it does mean is that God is with you in those moments.

It means that while the storm is raging around you, He covers you with a peace that doesn't make sense to the world.

The world says, "Worry about it. Fix it. Control it."

But God says, "Trust Me. Lean on Me. Let Me carry what you were never meant to carry alone."

His peace isn't found in having all the answers.
It's found in knowing the One who is in control.

And that's a gift the world can never give.

🌿 **Walk with me in my Garden** 🌿

Tomatoes, basil, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, and zinnias… every corner growing, stretching, and quietly becoming what it was created to be. 🍅🌸

As I walked through today, I thought about verses that speak of growing in the soil. Here is what I found:

📖 *“For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.”*
— Isaiah 61:11 (NIV)

Growth doesn’t happen all at once. It happens slowly, faithfully, and often out of sight before it ever shows up above the soil. 🌱

And maybe that’s how God is working in us too.

Quietly. Patiently. Beautifully. 💗

🌿 **Gifts With a Purpose** 🌿

The Holy Spirit gives gifts—not to be kept, but to be shared. 💗

Gifts to encourage.
Gifts to serve.
Gifts to comfort.
Gifts to help others see God more clearly through our lives. 🌿

We are blessed, not just for ourselves, but so we can be a blessing to someone else. ✨

God’s Word reminds us of this in *1 Corinthians 12:7–11*—that the Spirit gives different gifts to each of us for the benefit of others, distributing them as He wills. 📖

What God places in us is never random—it always has purpose. And most of the time, that purpose is love in action. 💛

Ask Him today: “Lord, how can I use what You’ve given me to help someone else?”

🤍 **A Mother’s Heart Update** 🤍

We are so grateful to share this update with you. 💗

Because of your generosity, we have now printed **300 booklets** and ordered **300 crocheted hearts**—each one created to bring comfort, prayer, and hope to mothers walking through pregnancy loss.

Some of these have already been distributed, and we are currently preparing the rest for **two nearby hospitals**. We can’t wait to share photos from those drop-offs with you soon.

This ministry exists because of you—your giving, your prayers, and your heart for mothers in need. Thank you for helping make this possible. 🤍

If you would like to see *A Mother’s Heart* reach a hospital in your area, please fill out the form on our website.

📓✨ Come Journal With Me Today! ✨📓

Journaling has always been a way for me to let out my thoughts, process my feelings, and write down the little things that touch my heart. 💗

And I truly want to encourage you today—try journaling something.

It doesn’t have to be long.
It doesn’t have to look a certain way.
It doesn’t have to be perfect.

Just honest. Just you. Just a moment with God and your heart on the page.

You might be surprised what comes out when you simply start writing. 💛

John 8:47 (NLT)

“Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”

Belonging to God changes the way we hear—changes who we hear. We no longer chose to hear the world's words, but instead we tune into God's word.

We hear the voice of who we love and trust.

So if we love God, trust God, and belong to Him…we hear Him. ✨

And if we don’t belong to God, we won’t truly hear Him—not because He isn’t speaking, but because our hearts aren’t tuned to His voice. 💛

So today I encourage you to make sure you belong to God. Make sure your heart is pointed to Him and listening to His words and not the world.

🌸 **Welcome, June!** 🌸

A new month, a fresh start, and another reminder that God is still writing good things into our lives. 💗

We don’t have to rush it or force it—just trust it. Growth, healing, and blessings often come quietly… but they always come faithfully.

So here’s to June:
new grace, new strength, and new opportunities to see God at work. ☀️

☕😂 **Monday Reminder** 😂☕

God’s got my back…
and coffee is helping me face Monday this morning. 💗

Because some Mondays require prayer, patience, *and* an extra cup of caffeine. ☕

Good thing His mercies are new every morning—even the chaotic Monday ones 😅✨

Who else is surviving today one prayer and one sip at a time?
