It’s the first week of January, and Mom is inclined, to feel stressed to the hilt because the children are behind. 🙂 Mama, it is so normal to feel stressed after the holidays. The children have had lots of time off for Christmas, but you now feel overwhelmed because of everything that needs to get done. Take a deep breath and relax. God is with you!

Co-founder at Help Club for Moms
My name is Deb Weakly and I helped create the Help Club for Moms with one goal in mind: to create a community in which moms help moms to know the love of Christ. My own childhood was difficult and filled with sadness. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home, so when I became a Christian (and soon after, a mom), I had no idea what I was doing; I didn’t know what it meant to raise Christ-centered kids, but I so desperately wanted to learn.
I remember going into my daughter's room night after night and kneeling beside her bed and crying my heart out to God because I didn’t know how to be a Christian mom; I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. You know what? God is so faithful! He answered me and simply said, “Spend time with me, Deb.” And so I did. I began arising 15-30 minutes earlier each day so I could read my Bible and pray, and plan out my day with my family.
If there was one thing I would love to share with you is that God is personal and loves you as you are. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved by our amazing God! Come as you are! His loving presence can be practically known and experienced. He is not a God who is far away, He is near and easily found. He longs for you to come to Him!
Randy and I have been married for 33 years and we have two grown children, Christie, and Jack, and one answer to prayer son-in-law named Alex. And now I get to be a Gigi to my sweet little grandbabies, Aspen and Skylar, and Piper. Yay!

Thank YOU for this!!
I’ve listened to it 4 times over the last two days and have shared it with some of my homeschool prayer group girls. 2 things that really stood out was the “moldy bread, bread that’s not baked yet and bread for today” . Sometimes we can really get hung up on moldy and in baked bread. Also, “as a Christ follower you are homeschooling by faith”… wow I’ve never heard it put that way but it’s totally true. Thank you so very much. I even saved this episode on the podcast. Many blessings to you and the staff. I just found out about you through Pinterest yesterday ❤️
I am soooooo happy Jodie!!! Thank you for being with us! Stay tuned for more homeschooling content!!
