The Story Behind ‘This Little Sparrow’

Something that has been said of me my whole life is that I have too many words.

I tried to hold them in. To make them clever. To make them meaningful.

But they always seemed to spill out anyway.

And yet, for someone with so many words, I often felt like I didn’t have much wisdom when it came to the things that mattered most — womanhood, motherhood, and the everyday work of building a home.

Others around me seemed to just know things I didn’t.

I would often hear things like, “My kids will never act that way” as we walked past a child having big emotions in the grocery store.

The truth was, my child was often the one rolling and screaming on the floor.

You see, womanhood and motherhood came at me quickly and fiercely when I became a mother at the young age of sixteen. (If you stay around long enough, I can’t wait to share with you one of God’s greatest redemption stories).

Very early on I realized something: this whole womanhood thing felt far above my pay grade.

And God has such a sense of humor… leaving an extroverted over-talker like me at home with tiny little humans whose primary verbal communication skills were demanding and whining.

Becoming a mom to many only reinforced what I already suspected: I wasn’t one of those moms who “had it all together.”

I often wondered what I would I say if I ever reached the place where I finally ‘knew’ all the things.

But slowly something began to change.

God was inviting me into a different way of thinking.

Not a system.

Not a formula.

Rather, a way of living.

And one day the realization came quiet and clearly:

It was never about me knowing.

It was never about having all the answers.

It has always been about Him.

I’m just a little sparrow.

Over time, God began teaching me what I now call The Sparrow Way.

In its simplest form, The Sparrow Way is about cultivating rooted hearts, tending to peaceful homes, and overflowing in everyday worship.

This way of living has changed everything for me. It has brought genuine peace and joy into my everyday.

My heart in sharing this space is that you might discover the same freedom that comes from being being deeply rooted in Christ—a life where His presence quietly shapes our hearts and homes, our relationships, and our daily rhythms .

I hope to share both encouragement and the practical wisdom God has so faithfully provided along the way.

In the end, it isn’t really our story at all.
It is His story, for His glory.

And we can rest in His faithful provision.

If you are weary, unsure, or wondering if you are enough for the life in front of you, remember this:
God has not forgotten you.

He is the God who sees.

And we are His little sparrows.

And here, in this little corner of the internet, I hope we can learn together what it looks like to live the Sparrow Way.
