Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’re here!

Shalene Roberts

Mom + Author + Bible Teacher

Hi Y’all, I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Shalene Roberts, mom to five, author of When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees + Bruce the Brave. I’m also a YouVersion Bible study contributor, a Million Praying Moms partner, a podcast guest, and a contributing writer to Her View From Home, Motherly and more.

I’ve been writing about the intersection of faith and motherhood for nearly two decades now. In When Mothering is Hard , I unpack the sacredness of this role and encourage moms to view motherhood through the lens of eternity. It’s my hope that I can impart a bit of that life-changing truth to you in those pages and in this space.

So pour a cuppa and grab a seat. There’s incredible encouragement waiting for you right here.

Encouraging women to anchor in Christ, nurture grace-filled families and foster life-giving homes.

How can I help you?

Mom to 5 | Author “When Mothering is Hard & No One Sees” | Inspiring moms to anchor in Christ, nurture grace-filled families, foster lifegiving homes

Motherhood is hard for all the obvious reasons, su Motherhood is hard for all the obvious reasons, sure. But there’s also a deeper, more eternal reason motherhood can feel so desperately difficult at times. Your family—however loud and messy and exhausting it feels today—is eternal and deeply intentional. And the work you’re doing to love and serve right smack dab within the walls of your own home was designed to ripple over into eternity.
 
The enemy has always known this, and lsince the very beginning, that enemy has been hell-bent on attacking the family. All the way back in the garden, it was he who whispered lies into Eve’s ear with the intention of deceiving and destroying, and today he whispers to her daughters still. 

Perhaps you recognize his voice: This isn’t enough. You aren’t enough. No one sees what you’re doing. None of this matters.
 
If you’ve heard those lies, stop right now and pray that the Lord would silence the enemy’s voice and would help you to hear the still, small voice of the Lord instead. And remember that the same God who fashioned Eve in the garden, who prophesied a Savior through the seed of a woman, who sent His own Son to be born into an ordinary family in an ordinary town … that same God sees you! He ordained your family. He ordained this role. He calls it sacred. And He is present in every unseen, unremarkable, extraordinary moment of your motherhood. Because motherhood is holy.

How would you parent differently if you knew Jesus How would you parent differently if you knew Jesus was coming back soon?

I’ve been thinking about this question because it’s so easy to get caught up in the immediate demands of motherhood.

The meals. The laundry. The schoolwork. The activities. The endless decisions about what our children need and what we should be doing better.

And while these things have their place, I wonder how often we pause to consider the eternal significance of the work we’re doing.

Are we so busy preparing our children for the life we hope they’ll have here that we forget to prepare them for eternity?

Are we more concerned with their success than their souls? Their achievements than their character? Their comfort than their faith?

We don’t know when Jesus will return. But we do know that our days are numbered, our children are entrusted to us for a season, and the work of discipling them matters.

This isn’t an invitation to mother out of fear or to carry the impossible weight of saving our children. Only Jesus can do that.

It’s an invitation to lift our eyes.

To remember what matters most.

And to be faithful with the ordinary, unseen moments God has placed right in front of us.

Let’s parent with eternity in mind.

“Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” — Matthew 24:44

Save this as a reminder of the calling we’ve been given, and share it with a mom who wants to raise children who know and love Jesus.

There are things I can’t do for my children. There There are things I can’t do for my children. There are places I can’t walk then through. Decisions I can’t make for them. Hardships I can’t overcome.

But I know the One who can. I know the God who can lead them through the valley. Tend their broken heart. Wipe every tear from their eye. I know the God who can turn a valley of dry bones into a testimony of resurrection , and I know He can do the same for them.

So I get on my knees, and I do the one thing I know I can do even when I’m otherwise helpless. I pray. Fervently. Without ceasing. On my knees. And I know when I do, God hears from heaven and will answer my prayer.

Of all the things I do, nothing is more important Of all the things I do, nothing is more important or more effectual than going to battle for my children on my knees! The prayers of a praying parent are powerful indeed.
