Hi, I'm Rose.

Helping Christian Women in Ministry overcome spiritual stagnation so they can walk effectively in their calling is my jam. As I was doing this, I realized some specific needs--- especially for the women who have children in their lives!

This inspired me to go into vulnerable spaces with other moms and women who have kids in their sphere of influence and create *FREE content that will help them keep the balance, go deeper with God, and enjoy the journey.

Ministry Moms was birthed to share helpful hints for the heart, practical ideas for the home, and healing for the mind, body, and spirit. Oh! and of course some stellar educational resources for those awesome kids in your life!


I pray this site, membership portal, and content will help you find a grace-filled balance between everyday life, health, and ministry--- that you will find connection, creativity, healing, consistency + faith as you embark on the journey of joyful living.

Releasing Distraction

June 24, 20224 min read

The past few months have been a stretch of FAITH, or should I say, a stretch of my very reality. Ever have times like that? For those of you feeling like you are being pulled and stretched right now, this week’s post is especially for you *keep reading, but for those who are short on time, and want to come back later, go ahead and click on the image below to receive a printable treasure for the heart. It is something you can put on the fridge and speak out loud over your life.

Okay. Back to being stretchy. I thought about the place of being stretched and it usually lands smack dab in the middle of the unknown places. You know, that place in between? The vague shifting sands that get in the eyes and make them red and watery and you get so thirsty that you would do almost anything to be quenched from parched lips where you can just drink— suddenly filling up with knowing.

This is how it has been as of late – in the waiting room, or rather, in the dry sandy desert— trying to make my way to a water source where, at the very least, I could see a clear reflection of what is supposed to be. I mean, I wanted to KNOW the UNKNOWN and for it to be revealed in a way that I could fully understand, and soon that want became a need, and that so-called need— led to the wrong kind of distraction. It was like Mind Clutter on overdrive!

The Edges of (Knowing)

I found that when there are “edges of knowing”, yet not exactly understanding, it can cause the smallest seeds of doubt to be dropped into this brain of mine, therein taking quick roots to the heart. I found that these roots begin to grow (quickly) from tiny, sometimes unrecognizable seeds that suddenly create weeds — And NOT the easy-to-pull-out kind — but the ones that shoot up strong and choke out grace.

The whole process made me feel like I wanted to bury my head, no, I digress….it made me want to bury my whole SELF in the SAND! Not that I would not come up for air, but I just did not want to be in that stretchy space anymore. Little did I know, what I thought was a desolate place filled with doubt and blindness, actually was a place filled with hope, faith, and joy.

In all truth, the unknown can imprison minds. It can create a hyper-focus on one point in time and hold you back from moving forward in the call upon your life. The thing is, I don’t want to be stuck in my calling, and I know you do not want to be STUCK either! If you stick with me --pun intended-- I believe we can be un-stuck together in this amazing and stretchy journey we find ourselves on. Keep going dear Friend— God has got this too! I hope you find encouragement in the journey this week as you reflect and speak LIFE over your heart and mind. **see instant download above.

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains. You also, be patient.” James 5:7-8 ESV

Thank you for sticking this out to the end of this very long post. With all of this stretchy stuff happening, I decided to create a short study that can help you start the process of moving towards patience, faith, and the much-needed HOPE even in the stretchy places.

This inspired Rose to go into the vulnerable spaces with other moms and women who have kids in their sphere of influence and create content that will help them keep joy in their journey.

Back to Blog

In order to truly understand God’s TRUTH, we must know Him. And like all relationships, it takes showing up (being present), giving of ourselves, and being willing to understand that we do not have all the answers— it takes being a true friend to Jesus!

If we peel back the layers of our goals, we can see the small (consistent) habits laying just beneath. They help us close the gap (build the bridge) to courageously reach the other side where these goals are waiting to be accomplished successfully.

Worship is a valuable treasure to God that we may never fully understand, but we can always know that it will bring continuous joy to His heart, let us feel His power and love, and bring peace and JOY to us even when it feels like there is none.
