Right now in this season of having two under three my quiet time looks far from quiet. Reading God’s Word doesn’t look like it did when I didn’t have kids or even when I was single. But I know how important reading the Bible is to me in this season of being a toddler mom. Without God’s Word I am not going to be able to care for my kids well, serve my family, and continue in righteousness. That’s why all moms need to be reading the Bible. So here are some tips that worked for me to still get…
Wisdom comes up over and over again in God’s Word. If you need to know how to get wisdom just open up Proverbs. That one book alone is packed with answers. We all need wisdom from the Lord, no matter what season of life you are in. But there is something about the mundane days of motherhood that requires wisdom. As mothers we do the same tasks each day, tend to cries, clean up messes, mop spills off the floor, feed little mouths what feels like non-stop, clean up more messes, and stay up late with little ones who can’t…
Anointing your home is not a normal thing. It’s honestly rarely heard of among families, believers or not. So is it actually biblical to anoint your home? There is no commandment in the Bible that says “thou shalt anoint the doorpost of your dwelling place.” Yet there are many things that we have to figure out on our own, being led by the Holy Spirit, in this day and age. So is it biblical to anoint your home? Let’s dive into this question by starting with a different question. What is anointing? Whenever we see someone anointing something or someone…
If you take a look at our world today, our culture is just very self-focused. And unfortunately most of our thoughts are driven from that self-focused and self-taught culture. It’s just because we live in that mindset and because that is the majority of what we consume. When we are consuming things of this world, we will become like the world. Consuming self-focused advice, things from Hollywood, releases from our culture, and so on will just lead to those things dictating our thoughts. But we are called to consume heavenly things and dwell on things that are pure. That is…
I love how the Father in heaven enables us as mothers, through His spirit, to love our children how He loves us. Think about it, the Bible tells us the attributes of Yahweh: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.“ (Galatians 5:22-23) All of these are things that we as mothers should possess and practice towards our children, and because we have His living spirit inside of us, we are able to speak and act in such a way. Through Him living inside of…
About two years ago I grabbed a bottle of an essential oil and anointed our home for the first time. We had just moved into our apartment and a lot of bad circumstances started happening. We had a flea infestation from the previous tenants, our son started having night terrors every hour, and I found tarot card printables and a list for healing crystals from the people who lived in the apartment before us. I didn’t know what to do. We thought we had made a terrible mistake by moving. Then I remembered seeing someone on Instagram talk about anointing…
I love being a homemaker. There is so much fulfillment in caring for your home and family. But I’m not going to say it’s an easy job either. There is a lot of work that goes into caring for your home. One thing I love about having a home is that I get to make it a piece of heaven. I want anyone who comes into my house to feel like this is the closest to heaven that they will get on earth, so to speak. I try to set a peaceful environment, keep God in the center, and welcome…
