Toddler Training: Part 2

Our children desperately need to be lovingly, patiently trained. The role of motherhood is to raise children that grow to be independent, self functioning, and responsible. Taking seriously the role to instruct and train is of utmost importance. Hopefully you read Part 1 in regards to training and the thoughts/motives behind it.  If I’m honest I…

I wrote With All Joy years ago while expecting my I wrote With All Joy years ago while expecting my seventh baby—right in the thick of toddler years having 5 kids 6yrs and under.

It was born out of the question I get asked more than any other:
“How do you do it?!”

If I were just passing you in Costco, I’d probably share my most heartfelt smile and give my usual quick reply:
“Oh, I’m just getting by like every other mom.”

But if we had a chance to sit down for coffee—heart to heart—I could talk to you for hours…errrrr….DAYS….about the little systems, intentional rhythms, joyful cues and purposeful teaching that have made motherhood not just manageable, but meaningful.

This video gives you just a taste: things like “woop!” and “find your spot” and our “mama ducks” are playful, memorable ways I’ve trained my kids to respond quickly with joy and purpose. 

These aren’t just tricks—they’re amazing tools! And oh how helpful they have been through the years!

These are simple, intentional, life-giving tools that help bring peace to your home, joy to your journey, and dignity to both you and your children.

Because here’s what I’ve learned:
There is joy in obedience.

And there is deep, soul-filling joy in the gift of getting to be their mama.

I poured every bit of my heart into my book. With All Joy isn’t just a theory. It’s the real-life framework I have lived and continue to live out daily, shared with the hope of helping moms like you lead your homes with confidence, clarity, and joy.

I’ve had the honor of speaking across the country about this message—and I pray daily for more and more opportunity as there is nothing like watching lightbulbs go on in a mama’s eyes when she realizes:
“I can actually do this! And I can do it with joy!”

Comment any word below, and I’ll get you a link to get your copy today! And as an extra bonus the first chapter will be sent immediately to your inbox so you can begin in moments!
“Enemies help keep the Lord’s servants awake.” — Spurgeon⁠
⁠
It’s a strange mercy, isn’t it?⁠
The way resistance can sharpen us.⁠
How opposition—though unwanted—can somehow keep our hearts from going numb.⁠
When everyone agrees with you, it’s easy to get comfortable.⁠
Easy to coast.⁠
Easy to start living for applause instead of obedience.⁠
⁠
But the presence of enemies?⁠
That’ll keep you praying.⁠
That’ll keep you clinging.⁠
That’ll wake you up in the night not with panic, but with desperation for His presence, His voice, His leading.⁠
⁠
And maybe that’s the point.⁠
⁠
Sometimes it’s the thorn that keeps you on your knees.⁠
Sometimes it’s the betrayal that sends you back to the secret place.⁠
Sometimes it’s the wound that makes you seek the Healer more earnestly than ever before.⁠
⁠
God doesn’t waste even our experiences with our our enemies.⁠
They, too, can be a gift. 

They remind us we’re not home yet.⁠
They refine what we really believe.⁠
And they drive us to deeper dependence.⁠
⁠
So if the resistance is strong,⁠
take heart.⁠
⁠
It may just mean you’re still awake.⁠
Still in the fight.⁠

Stay steady…and take heart…keep following the One who walked through every kind of hostility with eyes fixed on the joy set before Him.
We don’t say it out loud,⁠ but it lives just b We don’t say it out loud,⁠
but it lives just beneath the surface.⁠
This quiet, trembling fear:⁠
“If I obey Him,⁠
if I’m faithful to what He’s asking…⁠
will He really come through for me?”⁠
⁠
We know He’s Provider in theory.⁠
We’ve seen it in stories.⁠
Heard it in sermons.⁠
Quoted it to others.⁠
⁠
But when it’s our turn to let go of the plan,⁠
our finances,⁠
our timeline,⁠
our preferences,⁠
we grip tight.⁠
Just in case.⁠
⁠
But here’s the mystery—⁠
God rarely builds our trust through comfort.⁠
He often builds it through need.⁠
Through waiting.⁠
Through the ache of not having and still believing.⁠
⁠
Because dependency is not a punishment.⁠
It’s an invitation.⁠
A call to remember that the safest place to be⁠
isn’t where we have all the answers,⁠
but where we have Him.⁠
⁠
So if it feels like the ground is giving way beneath you—⁠
you’re not being abandoned.⁠
You’re being anchored.⁠
⁠
He will provide.⁠
⁠
Maybe not the way you imagined,⁠
but in a way that shapes you⁠
into someone who no longer needs to be afraid.
I wanted to share with you all a bit of the most p I wanted to share with you all a bit of the most perfect birthday party with the most amazing people! The warm summer air, the most incredible location, the kids running and the sounds of their laughter, but especially the “words of life” at the end as we sat around the campfire—it was all so incredible and I can’t stop thinking of how treasured these friends are, how meaningful their words were and how impacting their lives have been.
We’ve walked through fire together and I couldn’t ask for better friends to share this life with. They are more valuable than gold, truly an answer to a prayer I prayed for many years and are more precious than anything this world could ever offer. 
This night will be stored up in my heart for as long as I live and I will thank God in every memory of this birthday. I so unbelievably humbled—and my heart is so full. 💕💕💕
