Faith in Daily Conversations ✨
Faith doesn’t have to be reserved for Sundays—it can be woven into the little moments. Here are three simple ways to start:
At Mealtime: Say one short sentence of thanks for something specific from the day.
On Walks/Drives: Point out the beauty of creation—mountains, orchards, sunsets—and say, “Isn’t it amazing God made this?”
At Bedtime: Ask, “What do you want to thank God for today?”
Tiny practices add up to a lifestyle where faith feels natural, not forced.
Our Mom of the Month for August is…Heather L.!
Here’s what one of her dear friends had to say about her:
“Heather is such a kind friend, but an even more amazing mom to 3! She’s always putting everyone first and manages to homeschool, do all the mom duties, and creates such a loving environment for her kids. And she loves Jesus! 🤍 someone I look up to as a wife and mother.“
Congrats, Heather! Enjoy a tasty treat from Mela Coffee Roasting Co.!

Blog: Chasing Leaves & Slowing Down: Why Fall Is the Season Moms Need Most
Fall invites us to breathe deeper, walk slower, and savor the fleeting moments with our kids. This piece is for every mom who needs permission to pause.
🙏 September Bible Verse of the Month
“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
When the schedules fill up and the to-do list feels endless, remember: slowing down isn’t lazy—it’s sacred. God often speaks in the quiet moments we make room for.
