Have you ever stopped and realized… I don’t react the way I used to? I don’t fall apart the way I once did? I’ve changed.
Not because life got easier, but because God has been quietly working in you.

In this episode, I’m sharing real moments of growth—especially in motherhood and faith—that made me realize I’m truly not the same person I used to be. And honestly… thank God.

Inside this episode:
✨ The small but powerful ways God changes our hearts over time
✨ “Old me vs. growing me” moments in everyday life
✨ When people still only see who you used to be
✨ Scriptures about transformation and grace (2 Corinthians 5:17, Philippians 1:6, Isaiah 43:18–19)
✨ Why you don’t have to be perfect to be proof that God is working

You may not be exactly where you want to be…
but you’re also not who you were.
And that alone is something to thank God for.

This week’s episode didn’t arrive on Thursday like it usually does. I’ve been a little under the weather and needed to rest — and honestly, I felt guilty at first for falling behind. But God gently reminded me… delayed doesn’t mean forgotten. Delayed doesn’t mean it no longer matters.

In this episode, I’m sharing a simple truth I’ve had to learn the hard way:
just because something is delayed, doesn’t mean God can’t still deliver it.

We’ll talk about:
• Why rest isn’t failure — it can be obedience
• How God still uses what doesn’t go according to our schedule
• What Scripture says about delay and God’s timing (Habakkuk 2:3 & Lamentations 3:22–23)
• Encouragement for the moms, the tired, the waiting, the ones who feel behind

If you’re carrying guilt for slowing down, or feeling like you’ve missed your moment — this episode is for you.

Because even when it’s delayed…
God can still deliver it right on time. 💛

This week I mailed my mom a sweet “thinking of you” card…
and completely forgot to include the boys’ school pictures. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

When she texted me saying, “I got your card in the mail, but there weren’t any pictures inside,” I couldn’t stop laughing.
And when I told my oldest, he said,

“Typical mom moment, Mom.”

He’s not wrong.
And I’m pretty sure my mom just smiled and thought,

“She probably meant to forget those pictures.” 😆

In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind that little mix-up — and how God used it to remind me that love doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

We’ll talk about:
✨ Why God cares more about our intentions than our perfection
✨ How grace fills in the gaps when we fall short
✨ Why “typical mom moments” can actually be spiritual reminders
✨ And how your love still makes it home, even when you forget the details

If you’re feeling stretched thin, forgetful, or just human today, this one’s for you.

Because even when we forget the pictures,
grace still delivers the message. 💛

It Wasn’t What I Thought

Have you ever convinced yourself something terrible was happening—only to find out it wasn’t nearly as bad as you feared?

That was me recently.
A sudden pain had me convinced something was wrong with my gallbladder.
My mind went racing, my prayers got urgent, and the waiting felt long.
But thankfully—everything was okay.

It wasn’t what I thought.

In this episode, I’m talking about fear, faith, and how easily our thoughts can run ahead of God’s peace.
We’ll look at:
•Why fear loves to fill in the blanks before faith does
•How to calm your heart in the middle of “what ifs”
•The power of Psalm 56:3 — “When I am afraid, I will trust in You”
•And how God often reminds us: what scared us at first… wasn’t what we thought it was

If you’ve been worried, waiting, or letting fear take over, this episode will speak peace right where you are.

Because sometimes, what looks like a crisis is really just a moment to remember—God’s still in control. 💛

When Someone Else Gets the Balloon

Two of my boys went to a classmate’s birthday party and came home with balloons. One of their other brothers saw the balloons… and immediately burst into tears. Not because he hated balloons—but because they got something fun and he didn’t.

And as funny as that sounds, the truth hit me hard:

We do the exact same thing with God.

When someone else gets:
•A blessing
•A breakthrough
•A relationship
•A promotion
•A miracle

…something in us whispers,
“God… why not ME?”

In this episode, we’re talking about the deeper heart issue behind that reaction: comparison and timing.

I share a personal story from early in my marriage when someone I knew got pregnant right away—and I didn’t. I had my own “balloon moment” of wondering if God had forgotten me. But three years later, my time came. And I learned something powerful:

Someone else’s blessing does not cancel yours.
It just might not be your season… yet.

Inside this episode:
•Why comparison steals our joy
•How God blesses each of us in different seasons
•Why “not yet” doesn’t mean “never”
•The prodigal son’s older brother and the danger of envy
•How to trust God’s timing even when it hurts
•Why your turn is still coming

If you’ve ever felt left out, overlooked, or forgotten—this episode is for you.

Your “birthday” is still on the calendar.
God has not forgotten you.
Your balloon is coming.

It’s Okay That Your Season Has Changed

As women and moms, we often feel guilty when our lives change—especially when it comes to big decisions about our families, routines, or callings. We think changing direction means we quit or failed… but what if it actually means we followed God?

For most of my kids’ lives, we homeschooled. It was our normal and our identity. Then my husband got a new job, we moved, and after a year in our new space—God gently shifted our season. We enrolled our boys in a wonderful Christian school connected to our church, and it became a blessing in disguise I didn’t even know I needed.

This year, I also stepped into a part-time job at church. If we were still homeschooling, I couldn’t have given my boys the attention they needed AND walked in what God was calling me to. That previous season had to change to make room for the new one God had prepared.

In this episode, I’m sharing:
•Why it’s OK to let your season change
•How God uses new seasons to bless and grow us
•The freedom that comes when we stop forcing what used to work
•How obedience can sometimes look like shifting direction
•Why changing seasons isn’t failure—it’s faith

It’s not just okay that your season has changed…
It might actually be God’s provision and protection.

Let go of the guilt.
Embrace where He has you.
God is in every season.

The Hardest and Holiest Yes.

For the past few YEARS, my word for my spiritual journey has been obedience.
Not once. Not twice. YEAR after year.

And I’ve learned something…
Obedience sounds holy until God asks you to do something uncomfortable.

In this episode, we get really honest about:
•Why obedience can feel scary
•The hidden fears that hold us back (control, failure, opinions, comfort)
•What God has taught me after YEARS of this same word
•How biblical heroes obeyed even when it made no sense
•What I’ve discovered on the other side of obedience
•How to take brave steps—even when your knees are shaking

If God keeps nudging your heart… if He keeps bringing up the same thing over and over… this episode is for you.

Obedience isn’t punishment. It’s preparation.
And even when it’s scary… it’s always worth it.

🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to say the scary YES.

In this Milk & Honey Moments episode, Lizzie shares a hilarious and heartfelt story straight from motherhood’s unpredictable moments.

While stopping by the jewelry store to get a quote for a new wedding ring, she gets a FaceTime call from home—her 4-year-old is crying hysterically because Mom left without him. 😅

Through laughter and reflection, Lizzie finds a deeper truth: sometimes, we react the same way with God when we can’t see what He’s doing. But just like a loving mom never stops caring for her child, God never stops working on our behalf—even when He feels quiet or far away.

💍 “Just like I never stopped being Mom when I left the house, God never stops being God when He’s working behind the scenes.”

Tune in for a reminder that God’s presence doesn’t disappear when life shifts—it’s steady, strong, and filled with grace.
