THe mama behind the words
Shaina
Sure, this may not be the most professional picture. Yes, this is indeed a selfie. This was also a moment that I felt beautiful in the midst of being a mom. It was likely a beautiful chaos happening in the background but for that moment I was able to just be Shaina.
I am Shaina, I am a mother to two amazing little humans: Jireh and Eden. “Irish” twins, girl & boy. Though before they came along I became a Bonus Mom to Justus. They are some of the most intelligent, outspoken, rhythmic, determined, and harmonious children I know. As I navigate through these roles as a biological and a bonus mom, I have found that as all things in life- I need Jesus to guide me along the way.
I am a wife to my wonderful husband, Jamal. I am a daughter, I am a sister, I am a friend.
I am most importantly a child of God, and I have been trying to be intentional about this identity first so that I can show up in excellence in all other areas of my life.
My hope is that in reading this blog and even wearing the merch, that you will begin to identify more of who you are in Christ. That you will truly seek Him first, and that you will not define yourself by works but be reminded that even as a mama you were made righteous by grace through faith.
If you know me, you know I could go on- but I’ll just save the rest for later.
