I have been doing some deep studying about older moms in the bible. I am not doing a particular bible study just studying them on my own. I have no idea how God led me to this but I am really enjoying it. I might share some thoughts on it another time.


Today I am writing this post to all the women that became moms after the age of 30. Whether it was from adoption or birthing them....I need to hear your story.


Obviously, I am going to be an older mom. Some days that seems crazy. Most days I am really grateful about it. You see, I was never one to be "naturally mature". I was a typical sanguine, youngest child (what's mine is mine and what's yours is also mine..total brat ha) and as I have grown spiritually, I have also grown in understanding responsibility. I also was never good at doing multiply things to the best of my ability. Maintaining finances, maintaining a household, maintaining my weight...all things I had to learn individually and over a long hard process.


All that to say.....being an older mom will be of great benefit to me. Having years of work under my belt, years of controlling a classroom, years of living alone.... again will only benefit me as an older mom. God calls some to be young moms, some to be older moms, and some to not be moms at all. Not one of those are greater than the other. Equally different/important callings on very different lives.


I'm rambling....the point of this post is that while I LOVE looking into the lives of the older moms in the bible, I really need to hear from MOMS that are currently in the middle of it. I would love to hear from you.


These are some of my questions (answer any or all when you have time..I know y'all are super busy).....again I would really like to hear from those of you that are/were 30 and up.....


1. What are the biggest blessings about being an older Mom?

2. If you had become a Mom say 10 yrs or even 5 yrs before....what would have been different about you? What direction was your life heading? was your spiritual life totally different?

3. Looking back.....can you see how God's timing was perfect just for you...just for your husband? Were there things you needed to learn or change before children came into your lives?

4. If you became a Mom, later than you planned, did you grow in your walk with the Lord or did you turn away in the wait?

5. For those of you that were older Moms and your children are now grown......what would be some words of encouragement that you would share with other Moms?


I know these questions are really personal, but these are the questions going through my mind. I would love and be so honored to hear from you and what your experience has been like. You can email me at....

I am always curious about things. That's why I love studying and learning about the Bible. I ask my married friends "what do you do with a husband" all the time. I am not married, nor do I have a long dating history, so sometimes my brain can't comprehend having a husband. Ha. I know, I'm weird. But many of my friends promise that the change over from "single" to "married" isn't as crazy as I might think.


I think that my thoughts on being an older mom are way more positive and less complicated. Maybe because I know myself, the selfish areas I deal with, and that I seem to get better with age. Ha. Nevertheless, I would love to hear your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding as you have or you are currently walking out this journey. I think it might bless many in the future too.


I will close with a great portion of scripture that I have been studying...

Titus 2....A God-Filled Life...The Message


Your job is to speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine. Guide older men into lives of temperance, dignity, and wisdom, into healthy faith, love, and endurance. Guide older women into lives of reverence so they end up as neither gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness. By looking at them, the younger women will know how to love their husbands and children, be virtuous and pure, keep a good house, be good wives. We don't want anyone looking down on God's Message because of their behavior. Also, guide the young men to live disciplined lives.


But mostly, show them all this by doing it yourself, incorruptible in your teaching, your words solid and sane. Then anyone who is dead set against us, when he finds nothing weird or misguided, might eventually come around.


Guide slaves into being loyal workers, a bonus to their masters—no back talk, no petty thievery. Then their good character will shine through their actions, adding luster to the teaching of our Savior God.


God's readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation's available for everyone! We're being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now, and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears. He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness. Tell them all this.


Build up their courage, and discipline them if they get out of line. You're in charge. Don't let anyone put you down.



Thank you in advance for those of you that will find a little time to answer some of my questions. This will help me move on in my study. I love you friends!!! I hope you have a great weekend and I will talk with you soon.
