Singer and author Ellie Holcomb says becoming a mother has given her a new perspective on life and a deeper understanding of God’s unconditional love. Holcomb is the mother of three children and the author of three children’s books, each accompanied by an EP of original music. Recently she released two adult-oriented projects: a new album based on Psalms; All my days, and an expanded version of her bestselling prayer book, Fighting Words.
Holcomb She toured full time with her husband’s band, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, until the birth of their first child.
“One of the best things about being a mother is that I get to see the world through my children’s eyes again,” she told Crosswalk Headlines. “Everything feels new and fresh. It’s been such a great experience for me as an adult.”
She said becoming a mother has also given her a new perspective on God’s love and grace.
“We are, first and foremost, beloved sons and daughters of the Most High God,” she said. “So becoming a mother has helped me remember that even before I became a mother, I was a daughter of God and He cares for me so much and He cares for my children so much. What a freedom it is to know that we are all God’s children and we are coming home again. I am thankful for the freedom to be a child, the freedom to fail.”
