Come Stressed, Leave Refreshed
Restore Your Faith, One Week at a Time
Hello Reader,
I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re new, welcome to this little corner of the internet where weary, faith-wrestling moms raising autistic, rare disease, and medically complex kids can finally exhale. This isn’t about polished perfection. It’s about raw honesty, showing up with our questions, our fears, and our fragile hope… and finding God faithful in the middle of it all.
Every week, you’ll find encouragement, scripture, and a reminder that you are not carrying this alone.
New Podcast Episode
Finding God When Faith Feels Impossible
How Christian Moms Struggle with their Faith While Raising Medically Complex or Autistic Children
This week’s new episode is live! 🎙️
The Be Mighty Mom Podcast has always been about advocacy, autism, and rare disease, but God has been stirring something deeper. From here forward, we’re not just talking about how to fight for our kids, but also how to heal ourselves in the process. Because we can’t keep pouring from an empty cup, or so I’ve been constantly told (I’m sure you have too.)
In this week’s episode, I share what led to this change and how my son’s medical complexities broke me and somehow built me into the strongest version of myself, with the help of God.i

Devotional of the Week
Jeremiah 20:11
“But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior;
so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;
their dishonor will never be forgotten.”
This verse is the heartbeat of The Be Mighty Mom Podcast episode.
Jeremiah was tired, discouraged, and honestly ready to quit. He had spoken truth and paid the price in ridicule, rejection, and loneliness. Sound familiar? Many of us walk through that same ache. Misunderstood by doctors, dismissed by family, or made to feel “too much” for advocating for our child.
But Jeremiah shifts his gaze. He remembers who walks beside him: the Lord, a mighty warrior. Not a distant God. Not a fragile one. A warrior who fights on behalf of His children.
Reflection
When you sit in a waiting room for hours, when another test comes back inconclusive, when your child’s needs are minimized or misunderstood… it’s easy to feel like you’re fighting every battle alone.
This scripture interrupts that lie. It reminds us that God doesn’t stand on the sidelines watching us struggle. He steps into the fight with us. He carries the weight we can’t. And even when the world feels against us, His presence becomes our shield.
So today, breathe this truth in: you are not abandoned in this journey. You are carried by the Mighty Warrior Himself.
Journal Prompt
Where in your life right now do you feel like you’re fighting alone, and how does it change your perspective to imagine God standing there as your mighty warrior?

A Closing Prayer
Lord, today we pause in the middle of our exhaustion to remember You are our mighty warrior. You see the battles we fight for our children, the tears we cry in secret, and the fears that keep us awake at night.
Remind us that we are not abandoned. Remind us that You go before us. Give us courage when we feel invisible and strength when our bodies and hearts want to give up. Thank You for being the God who never leaves us alone in the fight. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
