This is a reminder for every step-parent, bonus-parent, plus 1…whatever you may call yourself.
For me, she’s chosen “Momma Case.”
Remember to always love them like your own.
Remember to never allow adult conversations touch their little minds.
Remember to kiss them, and hug them.
Remember to hold them when they need it most.
Remember to listen to them. They need to be heard.
Remember to understand them. Even when it can be hard to comprehend a toddler brain.
Remember to cherish every moment with them. Because you’ll probably be turning them over to their other parent quickly.
Remember to take pictures with them. They love to see your pictures.
Remember to honor their parents. Talk about their mom or dad.
Remember to pray with them. And pray over their other families too, not just your own.
Remember to give grace. It’s needed a lot in coparenting, most likely.
Remember to teach them. You are the only one that is you, and you can teach them things another person can’t.
Remember that while you might have not given birth to them, or had a part in their being- you have been hand picked by God to be in their lives, and you have the same responsibility.
Love them. And love them hard. There’s nothing wrong with another person in the world giving love to a child. We could all use one more person to love us unconditionally.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of shame, pain, and struggle. But there’s hope—and it starts with surrendering your story to God.
There was a time when I didn’t feel courageous at all. My life was filled with health battles, toxic relationships, and coping mechanisms that only left me feeling emptier. Every day felt heavy, and I believed I was too broken to be whole again. But then… BUT GOD.
God took my mess and turned it into a powerful message. If you’re in a place of struggle, I want you to know this: I understand, and I’m here for you.
The Courageous Woman Project is a faith-based journey designed to help you heal, grow, and strengthen your walk with God. This isn’t just another course—it’s a transformational experience written by God and facilitated by me to help you step into the courageous woman He created you to be.
You are not alone, and your story isn’t over. Join the Courageous Woman Project and let God transform your life.
Strength Through His Grace
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Phillipians 4:6
