Yet Another Reason I’ll Keep on Bringing and Nursing My Little Ones to/in Church

Because the prophet Joel told me to (Joel 2: 15-16):

Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast;
            call a solemn assembly; gather the people.
Sanctify the congregation; assemble the elders;
            gather the children, even nursing infants.
Let the bridegroom leave his room,
            and the bride her chamber.

 Don’t miss me getting on one of my many soapboxes. Subscribe to Momopoly.

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
