Author and Christian singer Ellie Holcomb recently opened up about how motherhood has changed her perspective on life and changed her view of God. As a mother of three small children, Holcomb hasn’t shied away from her faith as she has three children’s books, each accompanied by an EP of original music. In a recent interview with Crosswalk Headlines, the 41-year-old said motherhood has given her a fresh perspective on God. She said motherhood has helped her recognize the Lord’s attributes more clearly, such as His grace.<\/p>\n

She was quoted as saying, “We are, first and foremost, beloved sons and daughters of the most high God. And so, being a mom has helped me remember that before I’m even a mom, I’m God’s daughter, and He’s going to take such good care of me, and He’s going to take such good care of my kids, too. Man, what a freedom to know: We’re all just God’s kids, trying to make our way back home again. I am grateful for the freedom to be a kid, to mess up.” Holcomb, who is married to rocker Drew Holcomb, said one of her favorite things about being a mom is being able to “see the world again” through her children’s eyes.\u00a0“Everything feels new and fresh,” she said. “It’s been so good for me as a grown-up.”<\/p>\n

Holcomb said she tries to emulate the love of Jesus towards her children.\u00a0“I don’t want you to be feeling like you have to get everything right all the time,” she said. “You can come as you are to me, and it’s given me freedom to come as I am into the presence of God.” The artist recently released two projects for an audience of adults. One was a new psalms-based album,\u00a0All of My Days<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0and the other is an expanded edition of her bestselling 2017 devotional,\u00a0Fighting Words<\/a><\/em>, which\u00a0includes 10 devotionals that were reportedly not included in the original publication.<\/p>\n
