About Becky Kopitzke Time Out Devotions

Hi, I’m Becky, and I’m so glad you’re here! On this blog I hope you’ll find encouragement, solidarity, and biblical wisdom to live out your crazy, beautiful, God-given role of Mom. Together I believe we can discover a higher purpose in changing those diapers, packing that lunch, playing taxi-cab to school and soccer and orthodontist appointments, and loving that guy called Dad even when his dinner consists of lukewarm hot dogs and pretzels for the third time this week. Not a single one of us is perfect. But God is, and wow do we ever need him.

I’m a writer, singer, whole-grain cookie bar baker, avid dreamer and family cheerleader. I have a love-hate relationship with my naturally curly hair, I crave matcha lattes, and I treat recipes as general suggestions.

Most importantly, I’m just a mom like you. The Lord has blessed me with two delightful daughters, scooter-kicking age 6 and Mom-can-I-borrow-your-camera age 9. My husband and I are humbled daily by the joys and challenges of parenting, grateful for God’s guidance and grace as we trip over plastic dinosaurs in the hallway and scrape bubble gum off our counter tops on a regular basis.

In addition to family life, I’m actively involved at my regional evangelical church, where I lead a weekly small-group women’s Bible study, sing on the worship team, and speak often for women’s ministry events. My church peeps are a tremendous, life-giving blessing to me and my family.

At the end of the day, when the kiddos are in bed, the laundry is (sometimes) folded and the homework log is signed and stuffed into backpacks, I can be found snuggled on the couch with my laptop, crafting these blog posts for fellow moms who just want to raise our kids for the Lord as best we can. We’ll all trip up at times, but God is full of love and grace. We can trust him, call on him, and find him in every ordinary moment and challenge. Isn’t that great news?

If you find a post that really speaks to your heart, please share it with friends! One of the greatest blessings of writing this blog is knowing that women are encouraging one another through the words God has given me. If you have questions or ideas for a topic you’d like me to explore, please e-mail me anytime at becky (at) beckykopitzke (dot) com. Thank you for joining me here. We’re on this journey together — you, me, and Jesus. Blessings from my household to yours!
