Reflections to Refresh a Mom's Spirit

Do you find yourself wondering what all the work of motherhood is for? Or living for naptime, family vacations, or becoming an empty-nester? As moms, it can be easy to wish away one season for another, but God has given and ordained every moment in motherhood for your good and his glory. If you need the reminder that the work you’re doing is important and valuable, then A Million Tiny Moments: Reflections to Refresh a Mom’s Spirit was written just for you. This book operates like a reference book with short, instant encouragement for every season.

Motherhood is lived in a million tiny moments. Some feel like the blink of an eye. Some feel long. Some feel like forever. But no matter what, every moment matters. Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, they add up to make a life. What are you living for?



Join Risen Motherhood cofounders Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler as they write on a variety of subjects pertaining to motherhood and the gospel, offering you quick bursts of encouragement, no matter your season.

Yes, God is concerned with what we do. But more than what we do—in the bounds of his commands—he’s concerned with how we do it.

Hey, I'm Emily.

In between loads of dishes, laundry, and library books, you’ll find me writing and recording content that applies timeless gospel truths to all of life.

When people ask me what I do, I always fumble around. Yes, I’m the cofounder of
Risen Motherhood and you might know me from Instagram or a conference stage. I'm a Bible teacher and author who loves helping women see how Scripture can shape both daily and big life decisions.


What does God's truth say when I’m disappointed? When I need to make a decision? When I’m frustrated with someone I love? When I’m folding laundry, answering an email, or realizing for approximately the 400th time that I’m not as patient as I thought I was?

Let's open our Bible and see how the gospel can reach further into our daily lives.

KEEP DIGGING IN

Let God's truth reach further and take root, from everyday choices to big life decisions. God has more to say than you may realize.


Here are a few more ways you can connect.


And always remember, there is grace as you grow.


Emily
