WHO IS BEHIND THIS

I am doing this too.

I am Julie. I am raising my two younger sons on my own, and I am a Christian, and for a long time those two facts felt like they were pulling against each other.

Strength and Light is what I built once I stopped waiting to feel qualified. Everything here is something I have needed myself, written down so the next tired mom does not have to figure it out alone.

If you love him and you are scared you are getting it wrong, you are exactly who I made this for.

Raise him on purpose. — Julie
