If you’re a mother of little ones you may know that it’s really hard to find peace during the week. There’s always another diaper to change, mess to clean, and mouth to feed. And those needs don’t stop on Shabbat. So how are you supposed to find rest and peace on your Sabbath? Right now I am in the thick of early motherhood. I have two boys who are two and under. And if I’m being honest, rest is rarely found these days. But I still want to honor the Lord and His Sabbath even in this season. And I…

There are so many articles and sources that say that essential oils are harmful to children. But I don’t think that’s true. Now I’m definitely not a doctor or a healthcare professional.

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.

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.

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…

Children are a gift from the Lord. And as parents we are responsible for their upbringing both physically and spiritually. Our children are a blessing to us but they are ultimately His.

Praying for their futures, their health, their walk with the Lord, their character, and anything else is just so important no matter how old your children are. And praying scripture over your children…

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…
