All the Feels: Reflections on the Emotions of Motherhood

Whether you've been a mom for all of a day after seeing those two stripes or got the call that you've been matched with a child, or if it's been decades since you've first heard the words, "Mama," the emotions never quite change. They are constantly evolving, just like our children, but we have All The Feels regardless if our babies are swaddled in our arms or flew out of our nests years ago.

Motherhood is this beautiful yet terrifying juxtaposition of emotions that only other mothers can fully get. We can trust God with our children, and yet fear what will happen to them. We can feel like we've had a #momwin of a day and seconds later we do a total #momfail. We can feel that we have this mom thing down, and yet feel wildly insecure in our ability to be a mom. We can be annoyed with our kids and find them absolutely hysterical. Motherhood brings us the deepest sorrows and the highest joys. All these emotions, and more, are processed through on these pages.

This book is part story and part reflection to help you realize that you are not alone in feeling All The Feels. Through story, Scripture, and reflection questions, you will find freedom to feel All the Feels and live more confident today in whatever stage of motherhood you find yourself.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
