   009- Hope for the Neurodivergent Mom: Your Labor Is Not in Vain

   ✝️FREE 7-Day Devotional for Moms of Neurodivergent Kids (https://www.onlylovetoday.com/resources) Be sure to check out my free devotional written especially for YOU! God's Word is TRUE and He CHOSE YOU, MAMA, to be the mama for your children.7-Day Devotional (https://www.onlylovetoday.com/resources) 💫Hey mama! Have you subscribed yet? Please leave a review so I can better meet the needs of my listeners and hear what scriptures are truly ministering to you! Summary In this episode I share how 1 Corinthians 15:58 has been passed down through generations of my family and become my life verse. I encourage mothers of neurodivergent children to see the everyday work of care, learning, and discipleship as ministry, to trust God when they feel depleted, and remember that their labor in the Lord is not in vain. Christian motherhood, mothers of neurodivergent kids, 1 Corinthians 15:58, faith and parenting, Christian encouragement, motherhood ministry, perseverance, discipleship, adhd kids, neurodivergent parenting key topics The verse’s call to stand firm and give yourself fully to the Lord speaks to mothers who feel out of patience, energy, or capacity. Megan describes the temptation to fix neurodivergence and emphasizes surrendering what mothers cannot control to God. Caring for and discipling children is ministry, whether or not it comes with a church title or paycheck. Parenting neurodivergent children can require ongoing learning, adaptation, and perseverance through dietary needs, occupational therapy, routines, and learning challenges. A child’s difficult choices or hard days do not mean a parent’s work has been wasted; visible fruit may take time and can look different from what a mother expects. Megan says a child’s central needs are to know they are loved and to know Christ, above the many therapies and parenting resources. Action items When depleted, surrender what you cannot control and ask God to sustain you. Keep learning how your child is wired, while holding onto the central call to love them and point them to Christ. Remember that difficult days and unseen progress do not make your care and discipleship wasted.

   005- Hope for Navigating Sibling Conflict

   I wonder what it was like to be the first mom of the world, and also live through the first murder--knowing one son killed the other? We don't know much about Eve, but we do know that she understands what it's like to feel shame (in the garden) and to walk through sibling conflict and great loss. Today was a hard day. A meltdown, hateful words, a sibling caught in the crossfire — and a mom left wondering if she's doing any of this right. In this raw, unscripted reflection, I walk through a real conflict between my neurodivergent and neurotypical kids, and where I found God in the middle of it. If you're parenting a child who struggles to regulate, this is your reminder that you're not alone, you're not failing, and grace is still enough. 1 Peter 5:7 — "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."
