There have been so many times when I just didn’t have words to pray. That is when I love to turn the Scripture so I can pray God’s Word back to Him. And I love praying Scripture any time I am anointing my home or family. If you’re lost on what to say, where to even begin with anointing, or what verses are best for praying over your home I completely understand. I was in the same place a little over two years ago. But I want to encourage you to just start. Grab some oil (olive oil out of…
There have been times when I just didn’t know what to pray. Some times things were just so rough around me and life seemed to keep throwing arrows my way. Other times I just don’t know what to pray. It’s not that I’m confused or struggling. I just don’t have words. This is often when my faith life and relationship with the Lord seems to be in a dry season. Honestly these times can be very hard places to be. I, at least, end up feeling guilty. Deep down I try hard but I feel like I am failing as…
We’ve all been there, feeling the frustration of taking care of our homes. If you’ve been a homemaker and mother for any amount of time you have more than like experienced this. It’s easy to fall into anger, exhaustion, and complaining when you are always cleaning, preparing, and homemaking over and over again. It feels like it never stops and that gets frustrating. But I want to encourage you in your homemaking and tell you that you don’t have to live with this mindset. Homemaking doesn’t have to be frustrating. We are serving our families which is a beautiful thing.…
From the moment you find out you’re pregnant your life completely changes. Almost every decision you make will effect your child in some way. Your life will change. Everything from the time you wake up to your daily schedules to how you eat your meals will look different. Especially in the baby and toddler season of motherhood, which is what I’m currently in, our time is rarely our own. There are unexpected moments that come up, poorly timed accidents, and plans that have to be rearranged because things happen in motherhood. And it can be so easy to lose your…
So right now in my season of life I am constantly doing something. Whether that is changing diapers, cleaning messes, or feeding littles mouths, the responsibilities I have don’t ever stop. Even on my sabbaths. When I entered this busy season of motherhood with babies and now toddlers my sabbaths began to feel unmanageable and just not restful. I was so stressed that I wasn’t resting “like God intended” and that my sabbaths were not pleasing to Him. But that’s just so not true. Matthew 11:28-30 tells us, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give…
Mornings can either be good or bad. And depending on what season of life you’re in, what time you begin your day may differ. Right now in the current season I am in with two little boys it is very hard to set a routine. With different sleep schedules, unexpected moments, and the way toddlers view time a strict morning routine has not been possible. So in this post I want to speak to mamas of littles who may not have the ability to have a designated quiet time in the morning, who can’t wake up before her kids, or…
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…
