Who Am I trying to Impress Anyways

The effort we put into outward appearance reveals our attitudes toward our duties. If you spend hours doing your hair and make-up on Sunday morning but can’t be bothered when you’re at home with your family, you may need to adjust your attitude toward the duties to which God has called you.

Pausing Postpartum

November 16th, 2023

In the early Christian Church, a new mother practiced a 'lying in' period, staying home for up to six weeks while the church community cared for her. She was exempt from attending church services and taking communion while her body healed. She wouldn’t even be present at her baby’s baptism. When she was able to return to church services, a special “churching” ritual would be done to bless the new ...

Stewarding Your Talents, Part 1

July 11th, 2023

Get It Together!

March 30th, 2023

Most of us feel like there are areas of homemaking where we just need to “get it together.” Sometimes life feels chaotic, and we need routines and habits to keep those times to a minimum as far as it depends on us.

Excuses and Past Hurts

July 15th, 2022

We don’t all verbalize our excuses. We don’t all outwardly blame others or play victim to our circumstances or constantly say, “It’s just so hard.” Some of us find other pressing matters to attend to. We keep ourselves busy with things we “need” to do and neglect other things that are actually more important but that our pride or laziness doesn’t want us to deal with. And I’m sure there are some o...

Take Care of Your Health

July 12th, 2022

Many of us tend to neglect our physical and mental/emotional health.

On the other hand, some of us make the appearance of taking care of our health by using worldly means and motivations. Whether by neglect of our...

Training Children to Help With Chores

Something over the past couple of generations has led to a belief that moms are responsible for ALL the housework. We think kids should lead a life of leisure, and for what?

This is not only wrong, it’s unfair to everyone involved. Moms get burned out,...
