Life gets tiring. Doing the same thing every single day can seem useless. I get it. Recently I fell into the mindset of feeling trapped. Cleaning the same messes, changing the same diapers, having the same responsibilities each and every day seemed like it would never end. And it won’t for a while. This is the season I am in right now. And there is a reason for that. But what does cleaning the same messes have to do with living for the Kingdom? It has everything to do with it! Through the mundane days and seemingly useless responsibilities I…

The season of motherhood is a full one. I’m only two years in but I’m already learning that there are many ups and downs. Just one hour could be filled with so many tears and so many giggles. It is definitely a tiring season. And there are many days that I just want to do the bare minimum. And to be honest, for a long time, the thought of incorporating reading my Bible into my daily schedule kind of scared me. I was already so busy with housework, my work, and keeping little humans alive. The thought of having a…

The concept of anointing is a physical act of welcoming God’s Spirit in. All throughout the Bible we see the places or people that were anointed with oil were a representative of our Lord—the temple, David, Jacob’s altar, etc. This acting of anointing things with oil is very sacred and is honestly kind of forgotten in today’s mainstream church. But when you dive into learning more about it, it’s such a beautiful act. And I believe as wives and mothers we should be anointing our homes on a regular basis. If you want to know more or how to even…

Prayer is so powerful. It is such an amazing gift that our Heavenly Father has given to us and that He wants us to use to communicate with Him. But there is so much more to prayer than just communicating with God. Prayer holds power. It has the ability to change outcomes and transform lives. And as a daughter of God I believe it is your responsibility to learn to become a woman of prayer. If you’re like me you probably were never taught to prayer besides praying kind of on the shallow end. You were never taught to go…

Right now I am knee deep in dirty diapers, laundry, dishes that need to be washed, and every other never-ending responsibility that comes with motherhood. I do love this season and wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. But sometimes I just want to rest. A while ago I just wanted to find the answer on how to find true rest in this tiring season of life. And this is what I came up with—true rest doesn’t come from taking a nap or having “me time.” It comes from allowing my mind and heart to receive the Father’s rest. …

There is something about the power of prayer. We are given the ability to speak with authority over the enemy in our Savior’s name. And there is something so beautiful about praying over your home. You are the gatekeeper of your home (or room/space) and you have the authority over what you allow into your walls. And let me just say, the enemy is after your family. He wants to divide and send fear to anyone he can. But we are granted the ability to pray with authority in our Lord’s name. He is stronger than the enemy and everything…

If you are a wife, mother, or a single girl who has her own place, you are the gatekeeper to your home. You have a special and important job that God has placed on you to do each day. Our homes should be a sacred place. A place where our families escape the outside world. A place where we welcome people into. A place where we are called to fellowship and worship. A place where we raise the next generation, minister to others, and form a lasting legacy. That is why we need to spiritually care for our homes. It…
