    🎙 COME, FOLLOW ME MOMS May 4–10 | Numbers 11–14; 20–24; 27 Why Do We Want to Go Back to Egypt? Hey mamas, welcome back to Come, Follow Me Moms. Your weekly Come, Follow Me scripture study where we pull out the meat and potatoes and apply it to real mom life. This week… we are in Numbers. And I’m just going to say it… This one felt personal. Because the Israelites… They saw miracles. They were led by God. They had literal food falling from heaven. And still… They complained. They doubted. They wanted to go back. And I wrote in my scriptures: Why do the people want to return to Egypt? And then I paused… And thought… Why do I sometimes want to? Why do I want to go back to things that are familiar… even if they weren’t good? Why do I go back to old patterns, old thoughts, old ways… just because they’re comfortable? This week is not about a journey across land. It’s about a journey of becoming. And honestly… That is motherhood. President Nelsons Talk: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2018/04/revelation-for-the-church-revelation-for-our-lives?lang=eng Manna Is Falling… and We’re Complaining Numbers 11 The people are getting food raining down from heaven… And they are complaining. How often do we do this? We pray for something… God gives it to us… And then we complain about it. We pray for the job… we get it… and then we don’t like it. We pray for our kids… and then feel overwhelmed by them. Manna didn’t stop being a miracle… They just stopped seeing it that way. As Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught, gratitude is a way of life. “I Can’t Do This… It’s Too Heavy” Numbers 11:14 Moses says: “I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.” That is motherhood. This is too much. I can’t handle this. I feel alone. But God didn’t remove the responsibility. He gave Moses help. He sent the 70 elders. You were never meant to do motherhood alone. God sends support and He sends His Spirit. Personal Revelation Is Everything This part is everything for moms. From Russell M. Nelson: “I plead with you to increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation… choose to do the spiritual work required to enjoy the gift of the Holy Ghost and hear the voice of the Spirit more frequently and more clearly.” Motherhood clarity does not come from social media, comparison, or pressure. It comes from revelation. Pray. Listen. Write down what comes. Act on it. You don’t need a louder world. You need clearer revelation. “Let’s Go Back to Egypt” Numbers 13–14 The Israelites are right next to the promised land… And they say, let’s go back. Egypt represents what is familiar. Even if it wasn’t better… it felt easier. Sometimes we want: Our old life Our old routine Our old body Our old identity But God didn’t call you backward. He called you forward. Egypt was familiar… But it wasn’t promised. 10 Spies vs 2 Spies Twelve spies go into the promised land. They all see the same thing. A beautiful land. God’s promises. And also… challenges. Ten spies say: We can’t do this. We’re not enough. Two spies, Joshua and Caleb, say: Yes it’s hard… but God is with us. We can do this. Same situation. Different perspective. This is motherhood. You can focus on the hard… Or you can see the growth, the purpose, and God’s hand in it. The difference wasn’t the land. It was how they saw it. Fear says: we’re not enough. Faith says: God is enough. The Brass Serpent — It Feels Too Simple Numbers 21 The people are bitten by serpents. They are suffering. They are dying. And God gives them a solution: Look… and be healed. That’s it. Look at the brass serpent and live. But some people didn’t look. Not because it didn’t work… But because it felt too simple. This is about Jesus Christ. Healing is available. Peace is available. Help is available. But sometimes we don’t look. We’re overwhelmed. We’re anxious. We’re struggling. And the invitation is simple: Turn to Christ. Pray. Remember Him. And we think… That’s not enough. But what if the answer you’re looking for… Is simple… And you’ve been overlooking it? They didn’t die because there wasn’t a cure. They died because they wouldn’t look. Meekness Is Strength Numbers 12:3 Moses was described as very meek. Meekness is not weakness. It is strength, restraint, and submission to God. Meek moms are not passive. They are Spirit-led. Grounded. Surrendered to God. Meekness is choosing God’s way… even when your emotions are loud. Elder Bednar Talk https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2018/04/meek-and-lowly-of-heart?lang=eng This Week’s Invitation Mamas… Where are you right now? Are you complaining about manna? Feeling overwhelmed like Moses? Wanting to go back to Egypt? Or avoiding the simple answer because it feels too easy? This week: Pray and ask Listen Write it down Act on it...

    . COME, FOLLOW ME MOMS April 27 – May 3 Exodus 35–40 | Leviticus 1, 4, 16, 19 The Tabernacle, The Temple, Come, Follow Me Study “Holiness Is Built… One Small Step at a Time” Hey mamas, welcome back to Come, Follow Me Moms. This week we are in Exodus and Leviticus, and I’ll be honest… I started out thinking, “wow, this is kind of boring,” and it quickly turned into, “wait… this is actually so powerful.” This is one of those weeks where you might open your scriptures and think, “What is happening… and how does this apply to my life?” There are sacrifices, detailed laws, measurements, and instructions. And if you’re a busy mom, it’s easy to check out. But if you lean in just a little, this week becomes one of the most powerful lessons on how we come closer to God and how we actually become holy. Not in a perfection way, but in a real life, middle-of-motherhood kind of way. God brings His people out of Egypt, but getting them out wasn’t the end goal. He wanted to get Egypt out of them. He wanted to change their hearts. He wanted relationship. He wanted holiness. Leviticus 19:2 says, “Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.” President Henry B. Eyring taught, “The plan of happiness is for everyone. Wickedness never was happiness” (General Conference, October 2019). When God gives commandments, it’s not to restrict us. It’s to lead us to happiness. To teach this, God gives His people the tabernacle. Everything about it is symbolic. Everything points to Jesus. Everything shows us how to come back to God. The tabernacle teaches progression. You don’t just walk into God’s presence. You move step by step. And this is key for us as moms. Holiness is built. It is not instant. The first step is sacrifice. The people bring offerings, not just because they’re told to, but with willing hearts. Exodus 36:5 says the people brought “much more than enough.” These are the same people who just made the golden calf, and now their hearts are changed. That is repentance. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught, “God cares a lot more about who we are and who we are becoming than about who we once were” (“You Matter to Him,” General Conference, October 2011). So what are you offering God right now? Not perfectly, but willingly. Your time, your patience, your effort, your desire to try again. That counts. The next step is washing. This represents being made clean. Psalm 51:2 says, “Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.” Ezekiel 36:25 says, “Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean.” This is Jesus. We cannot become holy without being made clean first. One of the most powerful insights this week is the difference between saving grace and exalting grace. Saving grace rescues us. Exalting grace changes us. Exodus shows us being saved. Leviticus shows us becoming something new. Emily Belle Freeman taught, “Grace is not just the power that saves you… it is the power that changes you” (BYU Women’s Conference, 2015). Then we move forward into clothing and anointing. This represents identity. Isaiah 61:10 says, “He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation.” We are becoming someone new. One of my favorite lines from this week is this: living differently doesn’t mean we lower our standards or values. It means we rise. Eventually, the progression leads to the presence of God, the Holy of Holies. We don’t live there perfectly, but we are invited to move closer every day. Leviticus can feel intense with all the sacrifices and laws, but these rituals were meant to teach principles like repentance, holiness, and the Savior’s Atonement. Everything points to Jesus. And this is so real for us. Sin can creep in. It’s a slippery slope. It’s also easy to forget the Lord if we don’t take time. President Russell M. Nelson taught, “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives” (“Joy and Spiritual Survival,” General Conference, October 2016). If we are not intentionally remembering Him, we will naturally drift. So we choose consistent remembrance of God. The Spirit brings a feeling of happiness and assurance that we are becoming more holy. That’s how we know. Not perfection, but peace. John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.” Leviticus teaches us the manner of access to God and the holiness that comes as a result of that access. Holiness is the result of being close to God, not the requirement before. Elder David A. Bednar taught, “We are not expected to be perfect… but we are expected to become better” (General Conference, April 2012). God holds us to a higher standard, not to shame us, but to refine us. The process is simple and powerful. Repent often. Be humble. Have meekness and patience. Doctrine and Covenants 122:7 reminds us, “All these things shall be for thy experience,...

    🎙 Come, Follow Me Moms Podcast April 20–26 Exodus 19–20, 24, 31–34 Moses & Mount Sinai | The Ten Commandments | The Golden Calf “We Will Do… Until We Don’t — And Then Grace” Episode Overview Have you ever felt SO close to God… You told yourself: “I’m going to be more patient.” “I’m going to show up differently.” …and then life hits. It’s 4pm. Dinner isn’t started. Kids are fighting. You snap. And you think: “Why am I like this?” This week in Exodus reminds us: ✨ We are not alone ✨ We are not the only ones who struggle ✨ And even when we fall short… God stays This episode is about: Covenant relationship Why we forget spiritual experiences Modern-day “golden calves” And the power of grace + trying again God Wants Relationship (Exodus 19) “Ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me…” (Exodus 19:5) God’s goal was never just rules—it was relationship. He invites His people to come closer… but they hesitate. 💬 President Russell M. Nelson: “The Lord loves effort, because effort brings rewards that can’t come without it.” Mom Application: How often do we hesitate too? “I don’t have time” “I’m too tired” “I’ll do it later” We stay at the base of the mountain. Commandments = Connection (Exodus 20) The Ten Commandments are not just rules—they are relationship protectors. Love God Love people Come unto Christ 💬 Elder Dallin H. Oaks: “We offend God when we ‘serve’ other gods—when we have other first priorities.” Ask Yourself: What is my first priority? Where am I spending my time and energy? Modern “Golden Calves”: Phones Comparison Busyness Exhaustion Even good things that push God out The Sabbath (Exodus 31) Are we watering down the Sabbath? 💬 President Nelson: “What sign do I want to give to God? … The Sabbath is a delight.” Mom Application: This isn’t about guilt. It’s about asking: “How can I make space for God today?” Even if it’s: 5 quiet minutes A prayer in the car Turning off the noise The Golden Calf (Exodus 32) “They have turned aside quickly…” (Exodus 32:8) After only 40 days… they forgot. And honestly? It’s not just them… it’s us too. We’ve seen miracles: Prayers answered Strength we didn’t have Help on hard days …and still… We drift We forget We numb out 💬 Emily Belle Freeman: “Don’t let the distraction of the world keep you from the direction of the Lord.” Moses = A Type of Christ (Exodus 32–33) “Blot me… out of thy book…” (Exodus 32:32) Moses pleads for his people—just like Jesus pleads for us. 💬 Elder Jeffrey R. Holland: “You have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love.” Prayer Changes Everything One of the most powerful moments this week was a simple prayer. A child praying for his mom… And heaven showing up. Prayer invites strength Prayer connects us Prayer reminds us we are not alone This Week’s Invitation: Pray for your kids Pray for your spouse Pray for a friend Say it out loud Write it down Send it to someone “Who Is on the Lord’s Side?” (Exodus 32:26) Whose side are you on? Who are you tethered to? This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about: Who you are choosing Idols in Our Lives “Do you want a God in your life… or a calf that doesn’t care about you?” Modern idols: Money Shows Debt Distractions They don’t care about you. Truth: We often turn to things that: Numb us Distract us Drain us Instead of the God who: fills us 💬 President Nelson: “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the constant influence of the Holy Ghost.” Grace (Exodus 33–34) “My presence shall go with thee…” (Exodus 33:14) “The Lord God, merciful and gracious…” (Exodus 34:6) Even after failure… God stays God forgives God invites us back Remember: Grace transforms Grace helps you become Grace heals and delivers 💬 Emily Belle Freeman: “Grace is not the light at the end of the tunnel. It is the light that moves us through the tunnel.” Final Thoughts for Moms Mamas… You are not: Your worst moment The day you snapped The time you forgot You are the woman God is still calling up the mountain. Again. And again. And again. This Week’s Challenge Pray for someone else. A child A friend A neighbor Someone struggling Let them know they are seen. Let them feel heaven through you. Closing Message God is real. Jesus lives and loves you. And you are never: Too far gone Too messy Too late for His grace. Let’s make heaven crowded, mamas 💛

    Come, Follow Me Moms Podcast April 13–19 | Exodus 14–18 Stand Still and See the Salvation of the Lord | Red Sea, Manna, Trusting God in Motherhood Episode Overview Hey mamas, welcome back to Come, Follow Me Moms. This week we are diving into Exodus 14–18, and wow… this is a powerful one. The Israelites are completely trapped. The Red Sea is in front of them. Pharaoh’s army is behind them. There is no way out. And honestly… this is exactly how motherhood can feel sometimes. Overwhelmed Stretched thin Stuck in a situation you didn’t expect Wondering, “God… where are You?” And in that moment, God gives a message that we still need today: “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord… the Lord shall fight for you.” (Exodus 14:13–14) What We Cover in This Episode In this episode, we break down the “meat and potatoes” of this week’s Come, Follow Me lesson and apply it directly to real mom life. We talk about: The Israelites being led into an impossible situation What it means to “stand still” when life feels chaotic Why fear steals our faith How God often asks us to move forward before we see the miracle The power of daily connection with God (manna) Why we are not meant to do this alone Key Takeaways for Moms Fear lives in the future Fear sounds like: “What if this goes wrong?” “What if I can’t handle this?” But God says: Be still You don’t have to spiral, control everything, or figure it all out. You can pause and trust. You are not stuck… you are positioned God led the Israelites right to the Red Sea. That wasn’t a mistake. That was divine direction. Sometimes God allows you to feel stuck because He is about to show His power in your life in a way only He can. The miracle comes after the step of faith God told Moses to move forward… into the sea. The water didn’t part until they moved. You don’t always get clarity first. You don’t always feel ready first. Sometimes God simply says: Take the next step The Lord will fight for you You don’t have to carry everything. You don’t have to fix everything. Your role: • Stand still Trust Move when He prompts God’s role: • Fight for you Deliver you Make a way Don’t forget to praise after the miracle After the Red Sea, the Israelites sang. They praised God immediately. But how often do we move on quickly and forget? What song are you singing in your life right now? From miracles to murmuring (we’ve all been there 😅) Right after witnessing a miracle, the Israelites started complaining again. And if we’re honest… we do the same thing. This week is a powerful reminder to trust God not just in the miracle—but in the everyday moments too. Daily manna = daily connection with God God gave them manna one day at a time. Why? So they would rely on Him daily. Not weekly Not when life slows down 👉 Daily Through: • Prayer Scripture Turning your heart to Him “Give us this day our daily bread.” Jesus is your rock and your living water When the Israelites were desperate, God provided water from a rock. Jesus is: • Your stability when life feels shaky Your source when you feel empty He is what fills you when motherhood drains you. You were never meant to do this alone When Moses’ hands got heavy, Aaron and Hur held them up. Such a powerful reminder: You are not meant to: • carry everything do everything be everything Sometimes you need support. Sometimes you are the support. We need each other. A Personal Reminder There are seasons in life where you feel completely overwhelmed… weak… stretched beyond what you think you can handle. But God meets you there. He is with you always. And there is no shame in needing Him. Questions to Reflect On This Week Where in your life do you feel trapped right now? Where do you need to stand still and trust God? Where is He asking you to move forward in faith? Where have you already seen Him fight for you? Final Encouragement Mamas… The same God who parted the Red Sea is the same God who is in your life right now You are not alone You are not forgotten And He will make a way If This Episode Helped You If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs this reminder. And if you haven’t yet, leaving a review helps more moms find this podcast and feel less alone in their motherhood and faith journey.

    Apr 6 2026
    COME, FOLLOW ME MOMS April 6–12 | Exodus 7–13 “Remember This Day, in Which Ye Came Out from Egypt” Hey mamas, welcome back to another episode of Come Follow Me Moms, where we take the scriptures and break them down into the meat and potatoes so you can understand them, feel the Spirit, and apply them to your real mom life. This week we are in Exodus 7–13, and let me just say this… This is the week of the plagues AND the Passover. At first glance, this can feel like a lot. What is happening? Why all the destruction? Why is Pharaoh not listening? But when you really sit in it… This week is about three big things: soft hearts vs hard hearts God’s power and how Jesus Christ is the ONLY way we are set free And honestly… this one hits motherhood in a very real way. Because how many times do we see God show up feel prompted say we’re going to change …and then go right back to old patterns? Yep. Same. And how special that we just had Easter, General Conference, Passover, and even a solemn assembly all in the same weekend. A full weekend centered on Jesus. And now we get to understand where Passover began and why it matters so much. 🧱 The Story (Meat and Potatoes) Quick recap of Moses… He was born when baby boys were being killed. He was saved. Raised in Pharaoh’s house. Then he kills an Egyptian and has to flee. He becomes a shepherd. Sees the burning bush. Speaks with the Lord. And then God asks him to do something that feels impossible. Moses even says he’s not good with words. And yet… God still calls him. Then God sends plague after plague: water to blood frogs lice flies death of livestock boils hail locusts darkness and finally… death of the firstborn All to show: “I am the Lord” “There is none like me in all the earth” And Pharaoh? He asks for relief promises to change then hardens his heart again Over and over and over. This is the pride cycle. And eventually the 10th plague comes. But God provides a way to be spared. The Passover. ❤️ Principle 1: Hard Heart vs Soft Heart Pharaoh is the perfect example of a hard heart. Plague comes he suffers he asks for help God removes it and then… he goes right back Sound familiar? In mom life, it can look like this: “Okay God, if you help me with this, I’ll slow down” “I’ll be more patient” “I’ll stop yelling” And then things get better… …and we go right back. Not because we’re bad. Because we’re human. A hard heart looks like resisting God delaying change justifying behavior forgetting what God already did A soft heart looks like quick to listen willing to change humble remembering God Ask yourself this week: Where is my heart right now? Am I open? Or am I resisting something I know God has asked me to do? 🔥 Principle 2: God Gives So Many Chances The Lord gave Pharaoh so many chances. Not one plague. Ten. Why? Because God is patient. He warns before He corrects. He invites before He intervenes. And He does the same with us. In motherhood, it often sounds like gentle nudges: slow down be present apologize turn to me And sometimes… we don’t listen until things get hard. Think about a time when you felt prompted, ignored it, things got harder, and THEN you turned to God. We’ve all been there. 🐑 Principle 3: The Passover = Jesus Christ After all the chaos, God introduces something sacred. The Passover. The Israelites were told to: take a lamb without blemish put the blood on their doorposts stay inside eat the meal prepared And if they did… the destroyer would pass over them. This is all pointing to Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Lamb. His blood is what saves us. Not our perfection not our effort not being a “good mom” Only Him. There was only ONE way to be saved. Not multiple options. Not “just try your best.” The blood of the lamb. And it’s the same today. Jesus Christ is the ONLY way out of spiritual captivity. 🏠 Principle 4: Apply It to Mom Life Mamas… we all have our Egypt. Things that keep us stuck: guilt overwhelm anger comparison perfectionism And so often we try to fix it ourselves. We try to be better try harder do more But freedom doesn’t come from effort alone. It comes from Christ. We are the people God set free by the Lamb. Let that sink in. 🧠 Principle 5: Remember God says, “Remember this day.” Why? Because we forget. We forget how God showed up last week. We forget the prayers He answered. We forget the strength He gave us. And when we forget… we go back to fear back to control back to stress So what would it look like this week to remember? Write it down say it out loud teach your kids look for His hand every day 🙌 Final Thought Mamas… This week is not just about plagues. It’s about choosing a soft heart recognizing God’s power and trusting the Lamb You are not meant to stay in Egypt. You are meant to be free. And that freedom… ONLY comes through Jesus Christ. 💗 Question to Take With You Where do I need to let the Lamb cover me ...

We get a double whammy. How special is that? I just love when Conference and Easter land on the same Sunday. It’s so fun getting to celebrate Easter with our kids and listen to the prophet at the same time. Yes, it may feel chaotic… but it’s our kind of chaos. And it’s beautiful. I used to get so frustrated when my littles wouldn’t sit still for hours of conference. I thought it had to look a certain way. But I’ve learned… if you can’t beat them, join them. Now we keep it simple. The kids pick out a Lego set to work on We have a little candy station with words they can listen for If they wander, it’s okay Playdough for the littles Coloring, puzzles, snacks We are teaching them where they are at. And guess what I can actually enjoy conference now too ✨ JESUS CHRIST IS THE CENTER So let’s talk about this week. Holy Week. And I want to start with this truth: 👉 Jesus Christ is the center of everything Not just church Not just scripture Not just Easter Sunday Everything Your life Your motherhood Your healing Your future The scriptures teach us that His life is central to all human history. Meaning… 👉 Every single person who has ever lived or ever will live is connected to Him Before Jesus came People looked forward to Him After Jesus came We look back to Him 👉 But we are all connected through Him 📖 Jacob 4:4 Ancient prophets believed in Him Trusted Him Had hope in Him 🫶 THEY WERE LOOKING FOR HIM Mamas… Sometimes we think the Old Testament is just stories. But it’s actually full of people waiting for Jesus. Hoping for Him Trusting Him Believing He would save them 📖 Isaiah 53:6 He took on the iniquity of us all Not some Not a few ALL That includes you On your hardest day When you lose your patience When you feel like you’re not enough 💔 WHAT HE ACTUALLY DID Let’s bring it back to Easter. Jesus didn’t just come to teach. 👉 He came to suffer 📖 Isaiah 53:4–5 📖 Alma 7:11–13 He took on: Pain Sickness Grief Temptation Sin Heartbreak 👉 There is NOTHING you are feeling that He has not already felt So when you feel overwhelmed in motherhood He understands When you feel alone He has already been there 🧠 MOM HEART CHECK Mamas… What are you carrying right now? Stress Comparison Exhaustion Guilt 👉 You don’t have to carry it alone Because He already carried it for you 🌅 THE VICTORY Now let’s talk about the best part. Because Easter is not just about suffering. 👉 It’s about victory 📖 1 Corinthians 15:22 In Christ shall all be made alive 📖 Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory Let that sink in. Death is not the end Hard things are not the end Your story is not over ✨ RESURRECTION IS FOR YOU Because of Jesus Christ: You can be forgiven You can be healed You can start again You can change 👉 Resurrection is not just something that happened to Jesus 👉 It is something available to YOU Every single day When you try again When you apologize When you choose patience When you turn back to God 👉 That is resurrection in your life 👩‍👧 TEACHING YOUR KIDS Mamas, let’s make this EASY this week. You do not need a perfect lesson. Try this: Look at pictures of Jesus Read a few short verses Ask one question “What did Jesus do for us?” Let your kids tell YOU the story Watch a short Easter video Sing songs about Jesus 👉 And most importantly Share how YOU feel about Him That is what they will remember 🌿 WALK THROUGH HOLY WEEK We do the 8 days of Holy Week in our home and keep it simple: Palm Sunday Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey People shout Hosanna Monday Jesus cleanses the temple Tuesday Jesus teaches Wednesday A quiet preparation day Thursday The Last Supper He washes feet Gethsemane Friday The Crucifixion Saturday The tomb Waiting Silence Sunday The Resurrection The tomb is empty He lives 💗 FEELING THE SPIRIT Mamas… Your kids already feel the Spirit They just might not know what it is yet So when you feel: Peace Love Warmth Comfort 👉 Say it out loud “That’s the Spirit” Teach them how to recognize Him 🙌 WE ARE NOT ALONE We are not the only ones who believe in Jesus Ancient prophets believed in Him We believe in Him Our children are learning to believe in Him 👉 We are all connected through Christ Mamas… This Easter, keep it simple Remember Him Talk about Him Feel Him Because of Him: You are not alone You are not behind You are not too far gone 👉 You are loved 👉 You are redeemed 👉 You are becoming And He is walking with you every step of the way If this episode touched your heart, share it with another mama who needs it this week 🤍 Happy Easter, mama.

    Come, Follow Me Moms Exodus 1–6 “I Have Remembered My Covenant” Hey mamas, welcome back to Come, Follow Me Moms, where we take the scriptures each week and break them down into the meat and potatoes so you can understand them, feel the Spirit, and apply them to real mom life. This week we are in Exodus 1–6, and I need you to hear this right from the start: 💗 God does not forget His people. Because if we’re being real… There are seasons where it feels like He has. When life is heavy When prayers feel unanswered When things actually get harder, not easier This week’s story is for you if you’ve ever felt that way. 📖 The Story (Meat and Potatoes) Let’s break it down simply. The Israelites are multiplying in Egypt. A new Pharaoh comes who does not know Joseph. He becomes afraid and puts them into bondage and slavery. He even orders that baby boys be killed. But God starts working… and He works through women. The midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, fear God more than man. Moses’s mom hides him. His sister stays close and watches over him. Pharaoh’s daughter shows compassion and raises him. Then Moses grows up, flees Egypt, and has an experience with God at the burning bush. God calls Moses to deliver Israel. And Moses responds in a way that probably feels familiar: “Who am I?” “I’m not good enough.” “I can’t do this.” And yet… he goes. Moses obeys. He goes to Pharaoh. And things actually get worse. The people are upset. Moses feels discouraged. And then God says: “I have remembered my covenant.” (Exodus 6:5) The Purpose This is not just a story. It is a pattern. Bondage Crying out God calls Resistance Deliverance And here is the truth: God is working even when you cannot see it yet. The Women Don’t skip this part. This is powerful. God did not just use Moses. He used women in quiet, brave, everyday ways. Midwives who chose God over fear A mother who trusted God with her baby A sister who stayed close and watched A woman who showed compassion and made a difference You do not have to be the main character to be part of God’s plan. You are shaping your home. You are raising leaders. You are part of something bigger than you can see. 🤍 Motherhood Connection This whole story is motherhood. Protecting your children Trusting God when things feel unsafe Doing small things that feel unseen One line that stood out so strong: “The same place that saved Joseph’s family… became the place of their affliction.” Sometimes the place that once felt like a blessing now feels heavy. And you find yourself asking: God… why am I here? 🙏 How God Shows Up God shows up in Exodus long before the big miracles. Through people Through small acts Through timing Through protection we don’t even recognize He was working before Moses ever saw the burning bush. And He is working in your life right now, even if nothing looks different yet. 📖 Powerhouse Verses Exodus 1:17 The midwives feared God This is reverence, trust, choosing God over the world Exodus 2:24 God remembered His covenant He did not forget. He never forgets Exodus 3:11 Who am I Moses doubted himself just like we do Exodus 3:12 Certainly I will be with thee That is the answer. Not that you are enough, but that God is with you Exodus 4:10–12 God does not remove weakness. He works through it Exodus 5 Sometimes obedience makes things harder before they get better Exodus 6:6–7 I will redeem you God delivers in His timing 🔥 The Refining In affliction, they grew. Growth does not happen in comfort. It happens in the hard seasons. God was not punishing Israel. He was preparing them. And He is doing the same for us. 💬 Personal Stories I shared how this podcast took me five years to start because I felt unqualified. God was patient with me. Moses did not feel ready either. And I love this real-life example from a friend: She shared that being willing to get pregnant again has been a huge act of faith. It has been scary, unknown, and she does not even have the ending yet. And that is faith. Faith is not knowing how it ends… and saying yes anyway. 🙋‍♀️ Questions to Reflect On Where in your life do you feel in bondage right now? Where does it feel like God is quiet? What is God asking you to do that feels too big? Are you willing to say yes… even without the ending? 💗 Final Message Mamas… If you are in a hard season If life feels heavy If you are wondering if God sees you He does. He remembers you. He is working, even now. And just like He told Moses: “I will be with thee.” Closing Invitation This week: Trust God in the unknown Look for Him in the small ways Say yes to the thing He has been putting on your heart And remember… He has not forgotten you 🤍 References - Scripture Study help https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/scripture-helps-old-testament/12-exodus-1-6?lang=eng&id=p_j9Cwq-p_ilja5#p_j9Cwq Flowers By Samantha Ebert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
