Some mornings don’t feel spiritual at all.
They feel loud. Rushed. Heavy.
There are lunches to pack, kids to wake up, text messages already waiting, and a to-do list that somehow grew overnight.
And then there’s coffee.
That first quiet cup feels less like a luxury and more like survival. But somewhere along the way, I realized something:
those few minutes with coffee became the only stillness I had… and God met me there.
Not in a perfectly planned quiet time.
Not with candles lit and worship music playing.
But in sweatpants. In the dark. Before the house fully woke up.
I used to feel guilty that my “time with God” looked like this. Like it should be more structured. More reverent. More put-together.
But motherhood has taught me this:
God isn’t offended by tired moms.
He doesn’t wait for us to be calm, clean, or caught up. He shows up in the in-between moments — the half-awake prayers, the deep sighs, the whispered “help me today.”
Some mornings, my coffee sits next to my Bible.
Some mornings, it sits next to a mental list of worries.
And some mornings, all I can manage is gratitude that I made it out of bed.
And somehow… that’s enough.
If you’re reading this while reheating your coffee for the third time, or scrolling before the chaos starts — you’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re not doing faith wrong.
You’re just a mom who needs grace before everything else.
So today, wherever you are, take a sip. Breathe. And remember this:
God is already with you — even here.
