She shared a Bible verse with me that she has kept in her children’s crib since the first baby was born, from Zechariah 4:10. It says, “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” This verse helps her to remember to appreciate the small things, be proud of the sometimes mundane and frustrating moments, and remember that her journey is made up of many small stepping stones throughout each day that create a massive path for her little ones to grow on.
