Stewardship & The Narrow Path

An Update from God’s Toddler

Greetings All,

It has been far too long since my last post. While many of you have seen previews of what’s coming on social media, I wanted to sit down and share exactly where my heart—and this ministry—is currently at.

The Heart of Stewardship

The most visible update is that God’s Toddler has grown. Our YouTube and TikTok communities are expanding, but for me, this isn't about chasing numbers; it boils down to stewardship.

I am a full-time working mother and wife. My first mission is my children and my home. I find great joy in stewarding the 1,500–1,600 followers the Lord has led here, but the goal remains the same regardless of the audience size: to be faithful with what has been entrusted to me.

Stewardship is the humble realization that everything I hold—from my children to my social media platform—is on loan from the Creator. My job isn't to own it, but to manage it so well that when the Lord asks for it back, it has grown in His grace.

What Stewardship Looks Like Right Now:

• The Mass: recognizing that, through the power of the Roman Catholic liturgy, when I am present you are being uplifted against your will, teehehehe.

  During the Mass, when the priest says, “Lift up your hearts,” and the congregation responds, “We lift them up to the Lord,” every person that follows me and my content—Protestant, Lutheran, Methodist, even atheist and those that persecuted me—is spiritually lifted up to the Lord. You are part of my heart.

• 1:1 Ministry: Dedicating time to individual intercessory prayer to encourage and uplift those in need.

• Discernment: Understanding that not everyone who comes into this space is sent by the Lord. I have to steward my time by discerning who is a Kingdom helper and who is a Kingdom distractor—or even a destroyer.

Behind the Scenes: The Spiritual Reality

Growth often brings opposition. I have already faced several spiritual attacks and witchcraft attempts on my life. Praise be to Jesus Christ that the Lord is the one who reveals what is hidden.

I thank the Lord for the Holy Spirit and the way He has cultivated ears to hear and a heart to receive instructions. The most fruitful part of my day is telling the Holy Spirit to 100% intrude on my schedule to keep me on the narrow path.

Growing in the Gifts

A significant portion of my time is currently dedicated to 1:1 intercessory prayer. Walking with people in prayer is a profound honor and remains the cornerstone of this journey.

On the educational front, I am completing the 'Called & Gifted' course from the St. Catherine of Siena Institute. This process of discerning God-given spiritual gifts has been eye-opening (though I know many of you have already guessed a few of mine!).

Here is the link to the digital course if you are interested: https://learning.siena.org/product/special-called-gifted-self-study-edition-one-hour-gifts-interview-digital-edition/

Why this matters for you:  I’m not just doing this for my own growth. Completing this course will help me help you in what God wants for you and your calling. 

Media & Outreach

Lastly, I am thrilled to share that I have been on the radio twice recently! It was a privilege to join Iowa Catholic Radio on The Morning Show with Bo Bonner.

God Bless you all in the Mighty name of Jesus.

🌸 With Childlike Faith,
