Ever have a rough day and just need a good ol’ dose of Scripture?
Yeah, me too.
I put these together for those hard days. Those mom days that you’re not sure you can get through (I’m having one of those today), the ones where you just need to be encouraged, and maybe the ones where you need to be held accountable and need to be spurred on a bit.
Here’s to those days! May His Word be what we need to carry on.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the water, so shall my Word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
