This wall means more to me than most would expect a simple wall, should.
After my divorce, I built it in the home so my kids could have a room closer to me. They didn’t want to sleep all the way upstairs, far from me. They just wanted to be near. That room helped us stay close through a really hard season.
Now, that same room will help another single mom stay close to her little ones. I feel so blessed to be able to offer this space to a mom who’s walking a road I know too well. A sixth bedroom means more rental income for me, yes—but more importantly, it means another family stays together, under one roof, close to each other.
This wall took A LOT of work. I had to find the right people, the right price, and someone who could add vintage-style wainscoting to match my living room. But more than that, this wall represents something spiritual for me. ❤️
It represents the new kind of walls I’m learning to build in my life—not to keep love out, but to keep peace in. To keep the wrong voices out, so God’s voice can be clearer. To create boundaries that protect what matters.
The Bible says:
🧱 “Nehemiah said, ‘Come, let us rebuild the wall… that we may no longer be in disgrace.’” (Nehemiah 2:17)
🧱 “Like a city without walls is a person without self-control.” (Proverbs 25:28)
🧱 And in Zechariah 2:5, God says, “I will be a wall of fire around her.”
Yes, some walls isolate. But the right walls? They protect. They hold. They bless.
To every single mom out there: don’t be afraid to build again. Build your space. Build your boundaries. Build your life.
Because some walls aren’t there to shut people out—they’re there to help you hold on to what’s most important.
