Dear lady, this is a very rare and much needed ministry for women. When you said in one of your videos the Lord called you to do this, I could sense the truth and the Holy Spirit filled in it. Your ministry is a gem much needed for so many women. Thank you for obeying God and doing this. The Lord certainly delivered me through you in this area.
I was avoiding your video most of the day because this is something the Lord has been knocking on my heart about. But every time I try, the kids get really sick (mommy of 4 boys) or something random happens. So I kind of began to comform. But yes, amen. In the name of Jesus, I will pray and persevere in thiis area.
@ThisMamasFaith yes exactly! That's what I began to realize, but I found myself debilitated along the way. It's times to enter into spiritual warfare on my knees. Thank you for the prayers, they are kuch needed. 🙏🙏🙏
This video has blessed me so very much this morning. My children are grown now, and I wish I had discovered this wisdom when they were little. Treasure these moments, because they pass so quickly!
(TIP: I keep a pair of child's scissors in my baking drawer. I use them to trim the pie crust edges - gives a perfect finish, easily, every time! ) I find that I actually will be highly PHYSICALLY productive when I am avoiding doing the 'business' or 'mind' work that I dread doing. I will create housework, busywork to do instead of making the phone call or taking care of paperwork. What I am trying to avoid is anxiety or stress & I cope with this by working myself to death. So laziness isn't always a 'physical' symptom. I can literally rearrange my whole house or weed an entire garden to evade making one business phone call. It is very immature & the excuse, "Ive been too busy" looks reasonable to outsiders. but I know the truth, & so does the Lord. Laziness is a mind rut. Sometimes it presents as just sitting around doing nothing, but other times it can look very different. I have been more intentional lately about writing those business-y things down on paper to hold myself accountable. With 2 teens working opposite shifts & going to school, homeschooling, & for many years a hubby that worked VERY strange hours, add in unannounced company ALL the time (in the country people just pop in & out randomly) and farm chores on top of it all....I NEVER plan my days out. I would feel so defeated - as literally NOTHING ever goes to plan here or any type of routine in the day, not even meals anymore. Instead I pick 'Days of the Week' to focus on one type of chore. I do every stitch of laundry on Monday, put away Tues or Wed. I do all of my baking on Friday. Housecleaning & cooking for the in-laws on Saturday. Meal planning/paperwork/Bible study on Sunday. I just do as much of whatever task is assigned for that day & don't try to be squeezing in multitudes of other tasks. It keeps things up to speed in my house & even if something 'looks bad' like a mountain of laundry on Saturday, everyone knows that it is temporary & on Monday evening everyone will have all the clean clothes they can stand to look at. It keeps my family more patient with me.
This is so insightful. I'm happy you've found a routine that circumvents that daily unpredictability! There is truly peace to be found when you can say, "I don't need to worry about _______ right now because I am being intentional and today isn't the day for that task."
This is the season where I am in. I feel so helpless and not capable of doing anything. I feel guilty for starting and not completing things. I just prayed and met your video and this has encouraged me so much. Thank you
Bless you for your honesty. The Proverbs 31 wife is not a perfect wife, but one that has a heart willing to honor the Lord by growing in grace and truth. Don't be hard on yourself if you are not doing it all the way you want. Sometimes you have to grow into your habits and skills, but start somewhere and start small. Praying for you.
Maybe you just need some rest. We all do from time to time. But if you already been resting a long time, i pray God give you strength to get started doing everything you want to do and be happy while doing it 😊
It’s not your fault our phones are purposely distracting us to “make our lives easier” … we all really have to strengthen our muscle to focus to stay on task. Even right now I’m on a break from my tasks looking at my phone lol at least I’m attempting to be productive by learning something here 🙏🏽
Not to judge you but to sincerely warn you. The enemy has led multitudes of Christians to hell by distracting them from fulfilling their day to day obligations and ultimately destroying their destinies. Force yourself to submit to a well thought out and prayed for routine. It will be extremely difficult initially but with time everything will flow divinely. All the best sister in Christ ❤
Ty for this Tabitha I can feel that I've become less motivated to do the things in my home id rather mindlessly scroll on my phone and Ineeded this God is so so so good, praise and glory be to God
thank you, I just came across your video, I recently went on disability , and husband retired, but now I can honestly say we became lazy, and go to bed later than midnight, and look at a lot of TH-cam, please pray for us, I want to get out of being lazy.
Watching an intensive amount of such videos will eventually get you productive. Don't just be watching random videos that don't add value to what you are desiring will hinder you. Long story short, keep watching motivational videos.
I’m currently in a season , where I just don’t feel like doing anything much , except doing the most essential work of the home. I’m not having time / not in mood to read the word or spend time in prayer . And I feel bad every single day 🫤😑☹️ watching your video encouraged me.
This sounds just like how I feel. I do read the word most days. My motivation to do more than laundry, meals and taking my dogs out I do not want to move.😢
I too feel this way I feel down and depressed and I don't know why I can't explain it, everything feels meaningless and I know it's not I know my job as a stay at home mom and home schooler is important and needed, I just feel very depressed lately and down, but i fine that baking something like cookies or muffins or a pie I find that helps it brings me joy and brings joy to my family. It's the simple things sometimes that bring the most joy. I always just ask God for his peace I ask him to fill me with his peace and then I be still and know that He is God and He loves me and I am here because He put me here and He has a plan and a purpose for me. ❤ He has a plan and a purpose for all of us we are all here for a reason and we might never know what that reason is but the master creator knows and He sees the bigger picture. ❤❤
i’m a muslim but i want to tell you something: I felt the same and it is okay to feel like this sometimes. The most important thing is to not lose faith! What helps me at those moments is to pray to god and tell him everything what i feel and begging him for help. I feel like we all talk to rarely to him although he listens better than a friend or husband and can help better than them. I pray for your all🌷
I am so grateful that this video showed up on my timeline. I am so deeply frustrated with myself, and this video not only has some of the best and most relatable advice... it also makes me feel like im not the only one. I know i can get past this and become the wife and mother i am meant to.
To do everything as if it was for God... I pray that the Lord reminds me of this verse when I feel overwhelmed and unwilling to go the extra mile in my work. Thank you for faithfully sharing biblical advice with us. We need the constant reminders. May God bless you and your work!🙏💕🕊
Thank you for encouraging me and others like me with this video. I’m a single mama who is walking out of the other side of a long apathetic season. I don’t know what was more comforting was that I woke up with the thought these kids need you , the fact that this wasn’t what I was coming to search on TH-cam for , or the softness in your delivery of this message. Thank you for reminding me I am not helpless and alone. Thank you for reminding me God sees me, thank you for reminding me God has a plan for me and now is my time to get a plan, and simply start where my feet are.
Thanks so much for sharing! I was so blessed by this. As a daughter living nearby my elderly parents, I get to help with the food preparations, laundry, cleaning and house chores for 6 of us. Also, by God’s grace, my family and I do missions for the homeless out of our home. Just seeing how much better it is to live in a space that has order is such a blessing from the Lord and you’re right, God is able to guide us and give us the strength we need for various multiple home projects. May God keep you and give you His peace.
Thank you for letting God use you to speak to so many issues like this one where I am stuck. A struggling marriage for many years, adopting at 50 years old and adopting again at 62 has been a struggle with children who have struggles that have taken a toll on me emotionally and I think I have just bottomed out with so many issues to deal with. I always would get up and go no matter the problem, but after so many years of the same burdens It seems I have folded up. But as this video Takes me back to my planning days and it got all done with purpose and diligence, I can see GOD was speaking directly to me. Start over!!!
Thank you for your encouragement. I’m a homeschooling mama, expecting #7 and the first trimester fatigue has me so tired and overwhelmed I often find myself sitting all day. Thank you for spurring me on! ❤
Confirmation just in time as He always does. Thank you for being obedient in making this video for His glory! We thank you God for your ways you reach us.
I want you to know the Lord used you to speak directly to me today. I know all of these things and I have learned them but I have been in such a funk so overwhelmed by life lately and I forgot. I needed this little reminder. Thank you. ❤️
I'm struggling with this spirit in my husband and children. I could build a skyscraper with my current mindset. Them not so much. They are addicted to gaming and "relaxing". Thank you for helping me understand my discernment about planning and structure is not crazy.
If you hold the pie dish in your left palm, then run the knife in downward motions along the edge whilst rotating, it makes trimming the pastry easier. It's a little hard to explain via text, I really liked the pattern you made along the edge, I'm going to try this, looks beautiful. Lovely video and great reminders x
Hello Tabitha!!! Your videos always bless me!! They are inspiring and encouraging!!! It's very easy to get in a rut when it comes to homemaking and house cleaning!!! Especially when your a empty nester. But I love a clean organized home so even when I'm not in the mood or don't feel like it I still do it!!! Thank you for your channel!!! I don't know where you find the time because I know you are very busy you are such a inspiration!!! Take care and God bless!!😊❤
❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing this wisdom! I actually got overwhelmed with planning trying to get everything in order and done,so I gave myself a break and now I'm trying to get back into it. This video has motivated me even more! This message was meant for me! I appreciate you, God bless you and your family!
I tell ya sometimes God puts things right infront of you because He knows just what you need! This video is just that! Thank you for making this video and sharing it! I needed to hear it all! I can't wait to make some positive changes in my life and for my family! God Bless!
Beautiful. Ive been battling with laziness. I tend to get so overwhelmed with everything I have to do that I just avoid it. Then at night I feel bad that I didnt do this or I didnt do that.
Thank you for telling us that perhaps we are not lazy, we just need to have some sort of plan/goals for the day to help us stay focused. ❤ This reminded me that I have taken the time to plan but have been a bit distracted with this and that. I took out my simple plan for the week. I keep the task for day 😊I’m putting it to use today
I struggle tremendously with planning. I get so overwhelmed with all the tasks. I'm a homeschooling mama & about to have a high schooler & am super anxious with it all 🙏🏼
Thank you for choosing to share this .. I've had a tough week and coming across this was like jesus sitting next to me and talking to me God bless you.
A few weeks ago I was so discouraged with being a SAHM and homemaker. I just felt so down about it bc I felt stuck and couldn't get things done, and then they were piling up and I was just overwhelmed. I cried out to God for help. and He helped me indeed! Discovering you channel has been a gift. I really thank God for you Tabitha! every time I feel overwhelmed by the dishes or whatever chores I need to do, I usually just throw on your video and get to moving. I've also been more inspired to just take care of myself, like put on mascara and fix my hair lol. Anyways, your channel is a blessing. Thank you friend! - Malu (Oakland, CA)
I’m not one who leaves comments.. but I’m so glad to have run across your video today… God used you to show me how to over come this cycle of laziness in homemaking❤ Thank you and I pray many blessings over you and your family ❤
It’s a beautiful community you’ve built here Tabitha. I really enjoyed reading some of the comments here. Everyone sharing their various routines and tips. More so it’s amazing to see how unique each woman’s style of organization is. It just took off so much of unnecessary shame for me. I thought I’d share mine too if it helps other women :) I have 2 toddler boys. I really want to wake up early and have an ideal morning routine but right now I wake up with them at 8am. While they’re eating breakfast, I take out a boring notebook and plan my day. I write out a to do list that has 4 categories- Work, self, home and kids. And I try not to list more than 5 things within each category. I also give myself permission to not complete at least 1 thing per category (recovering perfectionist here). I also write out the meals for the day and groceries to be bought. In terms of time management, I’m flexible because my kids are young need my constant attention. I’ve found that when I become too task oriented, I get irritated by their interruptions. So I don’t over schedule. I tend to ‘block plan’ like Tabitha does.
Thank you so so much for this video. I struggle with getting tasks done around my house. In my heart I want to have a clean home for my husband and kids but I never understand why I cannot finish tasks around the house. I cant tell you how many times Ive cried struggling to keep my home clean..i was raised that way and it is a generational curse of being disorganized that needs to be broken and that I definitely do not want to pass on to my kids...thank you again, this video is such a blessing. May the Lord keep using you ❤
I was looking for a sermon I had paused on TH-cam and stumbled upon this. I took a ton of notes and I thank you for sharing this video. I can’t wait to share it with my play date moms. Thankful that God put this on your heart to share. So many struggle with routines and homemaking. Speaking for myself a list will help me ALOT. So thank you again for sharing this, especially the scripture to back it all up. ❤️🙏🏾
Wow, thank you so much for this video. I have watched it several times now! I have always wanted to plan better because I know it helps me accomplish so much more. But planning terrifies me. I don't know if its fear of failure. But I needed this video so much. Thank you for your faithfulness and obedience to put it together!! Im so blessed by it!
thanks for posting can you do a longer video talking about this. would love to hear it while I clean and organize, I like to listen to motivational videos related to homemaking.
I love you and I love your videos but I can’t listen to this one bc I have no choice but to be a working mom bc my husband is disabled and time is what I do not have. I squeeze my homemaking tasks in on Saturday and the last hours of my day after work so this video was too much for me.. God bless you sister and thank you for teaching women everywhere Godly homemaking 💗🙏🏻
Hi Rachel: I have been thinking about your comment for 2 days and for whatever reason I just could not close this tab. I think I can relate to how you feel. My husband stopped working almost 2 years ago but didn't do much around the house. The worry and resentment were eating at me. It was right about the time our oldest was going to start college and we had just refinanced the house from 30 years down to 15 years so our mortgage payment had gone up. In my case, I resented having to work and also do chores. After about 3 months, I finally accepted God's will for my life. If God wanted my husband to provide again, then He would give my husband a job and in the mean time I would care for my home while I also worked outside of the home. Before this all happened, our family of 6 would spend about $1700 in groceries plus about $300 eating out approximately. Once I was content with my role as a part-time homemaker and out of necessity because I had to cut our spending, I started baking and cooking from scratch most of our meals. Now I can spend around $700 in total. This has saved more than $12,000 a year. I have been paying off credit card debt and helping our daughter with college expenses. She has no debt. I have been asking the Holy Spirit every day for wisdom on how to manage my time, energies and money, and He has helped me every day. I do follow some of the advice from this video. I wake up around 6:20am, empty the dishwasher, start a load of laundry, pack the kids lunches and my lunch, and start a meal in my pressure cooker. In the evening, I finish the meal and hang or fold the laundry as I take it out of the machine. I have all my baking supplies in a cupboard for easy access. I shop sales and freeze meat that I find on sale. In bed, before I fall asleep, I think about the meals for the next day and think about the order in which I need to do them so that I can do them before I leave for work. The Holy Spirit is our helper and He can help us with our everyday tasks if we reach out to Him. I do have things that I kind of neglect, like my floors. I really hope I didn't annoy you. I send you a big hug.
I don’t comment that often on videos but you need to know how much your words helped me today. Thank you so much for making your videos and pointing to God ❤
I appreciate all the scripture that you put into this and how you’re explaining becoming a homemaker not really watching how this was done as a child but growing into the gifting of the Lord has given me my tribe of children and my home is very overwhelming and it’s definitely 100% necessary so I definitely appreciate this video
Thank you! I am in my 50's and sometimes I just lose my way in my days. I do not like schedules, but I have always be told I need structure. Thank you for your advice, love of God, and helping others. I know God showed me this video purposely! I don't feel alone in this. ❤
God bless you, sister in Christ. I had this video on my watch later for a couple weeks and it kept popping up for me finally this early morning, I decided to watch it and it has blessed me so much because before I watch this video I opened the book of Proverbs and did a deep dive on the word, prudence and what it means to be prudent. Come to find out it’s all about making good choices and being a critical thinker. Being prudent takes planning, organization and thought to accomplish everything we have in a busy day. You said something that I always say to my Bible Study group “God blesses order!” God made His orders by being prudent and by planning, Needless to say this video just came full circle for me and confirmed that I’m not lazy, I just need better planning. Consistency will eliminate any laziness! God bless you and thank you! 🙌🏽✝️🙌🏽
Perfect video. I needed to hear this. I plan. I am a homeschool mom of 7 kids and planning is essential to a happy home and a well fed family! Thank you for the scripture and pouring God’s word into me and others!!!
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you for being obedient to God's calling, not only in your homemaking but by sharing yourself here in this space. It's been such a huge blessing for me. ❤️
My faith has been my anchor. Could never do without it. You are an inspiration. Fantastic wife and mother. Should be so proud of yourself. Glad i found this. Blessing from Ireland.💚
Wow this is very encouraging. Thank you. I am a housewife and a mother of two toddler boys. This is a timely encouragement for me. God bless you and your entire family.
I feel this video is the sweet encouragement I needed from God to be more intentional. I resolved to do more meaningful things each day because I was slipping into distractions and simply moving from task to task throughout the day without any real order to my approach. I stopped meal planning and my house got messy. I homeschool and it’s definitely impacted our time together as well. I want better and God is so kind to show me your video today. I downloaded the Structure App. It looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thank you for this. Ive never seen any videos of yours before. I am definitely not lazy and I plan out my entire week for cleaning cooking kids laundry etc.. but what i never planned into my day was time for prayer and devotion. We have 6 kids, husband works outside of the home and our youngest two are 6 month old twins. I have been feeling overwhelmed as they need more and more of my attention every day and sometimes i forget to just stop and enjoy the two little blessings we prayed for over 5 years. But during this video i realized its because i didnt plan in time for God other than my nightly prayers. So thank you God for putting this video in front of my face. And thank YOU for making it.
I am three weeks postpartum and this is my first week home without my husband. I have a 5 yo and 2 yo as well. I’ve been feeling really unmotivated and tired - not doing much and feeling guilty about it. Trying to find a balance between resting and taking care of my body postpartum and being productive. This was helpful.
Dear, this doesn’t apply to you. Postpartum is the most important. There should be someone helping you with cleaning and cooking (like a relative) while you take care of baby and kids. Don’t feel guilty. Being up and about too soon after PP doesn’t mean you are “hardworking and good”. ❤
Thank you for exposing the word of God so beautifully and lovingly. I have been truly encouraged by this. May God bless you and your family and continue to grow you closer and closer to Him.
Thank you Mama for this video ❤ I’m a military wife / mother of three and lately I have been overwhelmed by everything and i thought Oh God I felt like a failure and lazy but I THANK GOD FOR REMINDING THAT I’m not a failure I just lack structure and discipline 🙌🏾 God bless you
Thank you for sharing this! I have been feeling pretty down lately about not being able to “keep up”. Making lists has always helped me and I’ve never realized why! This was very helpful and enlightening.
Not a wife or mom yet, but I have definitely allowed the sin of idleness to take hold for too long. Fear and doubt have no place where the Holy Spirit resides. In this temple, the only fear allowed is that of the Lord God. It's definitely feeling overwhelmed that holds me back. I also lack motivation, but this just gave me a nice boost to create a plan. I thank God for using you to bless me today. May He continue to bless you in your own journey. PS: Watching you cook and do dishes was super soothing lol. Can't wait to check out more of your content. Thanks again!
Thankyou sister in Christ for this video. 😊 to be honest i'm so bad in planning, during weekends (day off) i would only scroll on my phone and it gives me extreme migraines knowing thay I wasn't able to finish even 1 task 😭 this is so encouraging! God bless you!
This was very warm and settling. i just randomly came across it thank Jesus. But it has definitely helped me during my journey of putting perspectives in order in my life. I WFH and will be going back to school soon so this was extremely helpful.
Your video is what I needed to hear today. Thank you for being a woman of God. I have repented of my laziness and idleness. I am recommitting to doing the things that I do for the glory of God, and to focus less on selfish desires to be recognized for all that I do. I believe with this change of heart, I will find more fulfillment in being a homemaker and a child of God.
I’m blessed this came on my feed. I just came back from a 3 day convention, landed in my city 2am and resumed at work by 7:30am. All through the flight, I’ve been asking God how do I keep the fire I got at this conference burning. I don’t want to look back at today in 6 months and feel bad that I’m barely on surface level again. God told me, planning but I didn’t know how to do that planning. Now I know what God wants me to do. Being a mother, a career woman and hubby who work STRANGE hours seems like a perfect excuse not to plan cos after 7 - 3 work schedule; pick kids from school/daycare, rush to piano lessons and all other activities our kids get into; make dinner, one is literally done for the day.
Thank you. This is very encouraging. I am in the process of planning. I feel like I am so busy doing chores all day while homeschooling the kids, yet it feels like nothing gets done and dinner is ready at bedtime. Especially with a needy baby, all my tasks get pushed off. I need to schedule my weeks out for doing everyday tasks
This video blessed my heart and encouraged me so much even though my children are grown … I used write a to do list cross each item after I did it. It was very helpful! I got away from it cause life happens…
This Was such an influential and impactful video for me to watch tonight!! 😌 If I could share any video to all of my stay at home mammas, homemakers, homeschool moms, and wives out there; this would be the video I would show them! You simplified the plans so well on how to effectively manage our homes! Thank you for sharing, this was a blessing! And I can’t wait to share this wisdom with my other sisters in Christ!!!
1st timer here ❤ I loved it and have made a Playlist so I can watch 1 or 2 a day while I do my household work Thank you God for leading me here!! Does anyone know if she has some on how she homeschools all her children? I have 3 from age 17, 13, & 10 my 3 grandchildren from my 25 yr old son ages are 6, 3 & 1...anyone else here homeschooling?
Bless you, where has your channel been! Im so thankful to have found you this morning. I prayed for God to give me peace and help me not feel so lazy and this was top of my recommendation. The algorithm may have been kind today but I know Gods work when I feel it. This has helped me and brought me peace thank you (even the links for the reading material and recipes, wow! ❤❤)
Super practical. Start a load in the morning, switch over in afternoon and fold and put away evening! Idk why I never thought of this. But I am starting it right now. Literally its morning and I just put a load in.😅
Amen. Thank you for this. Maybe it's not laziness. Will definitely start planning. I'm not one to follow a home schedule. Maybe that's what is missing. Thank you for the scripture readings.
GOD bless you! I came across this as I was looking for something to listen to while I folded some laundry. I’m a wife-to-be lol and always eager to learn from faithful women that respect GOD’s order and implement it into their homes. Bless you, I will be subscribing!
Glad to see your blog for the very first time and very happy with your biblical topics, nowadays it's our need to our soul very deeply, may God bless you more and more❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been a planner for many years. I took early retirement a couple of years ago and I still have a routine and a plan even with no kids left at home (other than the fur babies) and no "work". I've become committed to making my home a haven and cooking from scratch. I also began working with my church youth group after taking a break from it for a few years. My planner and routine help so much with these goals. Also, thank you for the reminder of Proverbs 16:3. In a particularly stressful time in my life I developed OCD in an attempt to regain some control in the area of my life where I had control - my home environment. So, this hit home with me.
Thank you, this video helped me, and I believe God brought me here. Even though I am a divorced empty nester I need to make a joyful, organized home for myself, my two dogs, and my visiting children. Have struggled with overwhelm and circumstantial depression which is getting better with time and God’s help. Until I move to a new home in my children’s city of residence, must keep this one up and prepare to put it on the market. May God bless you and your family. Thanks again.
I really enjoyed your video. My current living space is shared and I found myself being overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done repeatedly. I am going to try the block method of planning with two littles it seems like the best option. Thank you God bless you!
Oh my goodness that pie dish is beautiful! This is the first video of yours I've seen and it sat in my "watch later" list for well over a month 😅 this is absolutely something I struggle with! Subscribed ❤🙏🏽
I just happened across your video. I love this video. Some of this is easy to do. My husband and I live with our son and his family. I am lucky that I get to stay home and watch my grandchild. I do what housework I can.
Im a mother and grandmother. My daughter is sleep deprived sometimes to the point of tears from little ones waking very early or frequently. She desires peace and order but is tired all the time.
I’m so glad I found this video. God has been speaking to me about this lately. I want to steward all of the blessings He has given me more effectively in order to honor Him. Also, laziness is wickedness. It’s best to repent first, then plan. This statement is mostly for myself.
You inspired me to try a new bread recipe tonight: I struggle with starting to make bread because one of my toddlers is really needy and always wants me EXACTLY when I'm kneading dough. This way, I don't have to park them in front of the TV just so I can bake, which makes me feel guilty every time. But by PLANNING ahead, now I can use a no-knead recipe that can rise all night, then I can just bake in the morning. If this works, I can stop relying on store-bought bread which definitely makes me feel lazy.
Practical advice. Thank you. I’m in first trimester and I’ve been beyond exhausted and all routines and systems have failed but it’s not really an option bc I have 4 other kids. Need to figure out a new plan.
I'm not a wife or a mother, and I still find this encouraging
Same!! Some folks get upset when certain videos are targeted at wives/moms but ANYONE can learn and be encouraged if they keep open hearts and minds!
Me 2
me 3 lol
Me 4 🥰
And me! 🙌🥰
Dear lady, this is a very rare and much needed ministry for women. When you said in one of your videos the Lord called you to do this, I could sense the truth and the Holy Spirit filled in it. Your ministry is a gem much needed for so many women. Thank you for obeying God and doing this. The Lord certainly delivered me through you in this area.
I was avoiding your video most of the day because this is something the Lord has been knocking on my heart about. But every time I try, the kids get really sick (mommy of 4 boys) or something random happens. So I kind of began to comform. But yes, amen. In the name of Jesus, I will pray and persevere in thiis area.
Sounds like it could be a spiritual battle! Praying for you
@ThisMamasFaith yes exactly! That's what I began to realize, but I found myself debilitated along the way.
It's times to enter into spiritual warfare on my knees. Thank you for the prayers, they are kuch needed. 🙏🙏🙏
🙏
Praying hard.❤❤❤
Praying for you and believing in you, friend! ❤️🙏🏻
This video has blessed me so very much this morning. My children are grown now, and I wish I had discovered this wisdom when they were little. Treasure these moments, because they pass so quickly!
Me, too!
Me three.😞
( but, it is never too late, if We still breathing)
Thank You Father.
Thank You Son.
Thank You Holy Spirit.
@@annetterivera2287 What a beautiful comment. I've been discouraged lately, and your words really blessed me. Thank you!
(TIP: I keep a pair of child's scissors in my baking drawer. I use them to trim the pie crust edges - gives a perfect finish, easily, every time! ) I find that I actually will be highly PHYSICALLY productive when I am avoiding doing the 'business' or 'mind' work that I dread doing. I will create housework, busywork to do instead of making the phone call or taking care of paperwork. What I am trying to avoid is anxiety or stress & I cope with this by working myself to death. So laziness isn't always a 'physical' symptom. I can literally rearrange my whole house or weed an entire garden to evade making one business phone call. It is very immature & the excuse, "Ive been too busy" looks reasonable to outsiders. but I know the truth, & so does the Lord. Laziness is a mind rut. Sometimes it presents as just sitting around doing nothing, but other times it can look very different. I have been more intentional lately about writing those business-y things down on paper to hold myself accountable. With 2 teens working opposite shifts & going to school, homeschooling, & for many years a hubby that worked VERY strange hours, add in unannounced company ALL the time (in the country people just pop in & out randomly) and farm chores on top of it all....I NEVER plan my days out. I would feel so defeated - as literally NOTHING ever goes to plan here or any type of routine in the day, not even meals anymore. Instead I pick 'Days of the Week' to focus on one type of chore. I do every stitch of laundry on Monday, put away Tues or Wed. I do all of my baking on Friday. Housecleaning & cooking for the in-laws on Saturday. Meal planning/paperwork/Bible study on Sunday. I just do as much of whatever task is assigned for that day & don't try to be squeezing in multitudes of other tasks. It keeps things up to speed in my house & even if something 'looks bad' like a mountain of laundry on Saturday, everyone knows that it is temporary & on Monday evening everyone will have all the clean clothes they can stand to look at. It keeps my family more patient with me.
This is so insightful. I'm happy you've found a routine that circumvents that daily unpredictability! There is truly peace to be found when you can say, "I don't need to worry about _______ right now because I am being intentional and today isn't the day for that task."
This is the season where I am in. I feel so helpless and not capable of doing anything. I feel guilty for starting and not completing things. I just prayed and met your video and this has encouraged me so much. Thank you
Bless you for your honesty. The Proverbs 31 wife is not a perfect wife, but one that has a heart willing to honor the Lord by growing in grace and truth. Don't be hard on yourself if you are not doing it all the way you want. Sometimes you have to grow into your habits and skills, but start somewhere and start small. Praying for you.
Maybe you just need some rest. We all do from time to time. But if you already been resting a long time, i pray God give you strength to get started doing everything you want to do and be happy while doing it 😊
It’s not your fault our phones are purposely distracting us to “make our lives easier” … we all really have to strengthen our muscle to focus to stay on task. Even right now I’m on a break from my tasks looking at my phone lol at least I’m attempting to be productive by learning something here 🙏🏽
Not to judge you but to sincerely warn you. The enemy has led multitudes of Christians to hell by distracting them from fulfilling their day to day obligations and ultimately destroying their destinies. Force yourself to submit to a well thought out and prayed for routine. It will be extremely difficult initially but with time everything will flow divinely. All the best sister in Christ ❤
Ty for this Tabitha I can feel that I've become less motivated to do the things in my home id rather mindlessly scroll on my phone and Ineeded this God is so so so good, praise and glory be to God
Amen!
thank you, I just came across your video, I recently went on disability , and husband retired, but now I can honestly say we became lazy, and go to bed later than midnight, and look at a lot of TH-cam, please pray for us, I want to get out of being lazy.
Hope you’re doing good Elizabeth, try your best to lead by example and wake up with the sun ☀️
Watching an intensive amount of such videos will eventually get you productive. Don't just be watching random videos that don't add value to what you are desiring will hinder you. Long story short, keep watching motivational videos.
I’m currently in a season , where I just don’t feel like doing anything much , except doing the most essential work of the home. I’m not having time / not in mood to read the word or spend time in prayer . And I feel bad every single day 🫤😑☹️ watching your video encouraged me.
This sounds just like how I feel. I do read the word most days. My motivation to do more than laundry, meals and taking my dogs out I do not want to move.😢
I've been there for a while too. I feel like there is a spiritual fog in the world right now making many of us feel that way.
@@Sarah-psalm127 true that’s right - spiritual fog may be the word
I too feel this way I feel down and depressed and I don't know why I can't explain it, everything feels meaningless and I know it's not I know my job as a stay at home mom and home schooler is important and needed, I just feel very depressed lately and down, but i fine that baking something like cookies or muffins or a pie I find that helps it brings me joy and brings joy to my family. It's the simple things sometimes that bring the most joy. I always just ask God for his peace I ask him to fill me with his peace and then I be still and know that He is God and He loves me and I am here because He put me here and He has a plan and a purpose for me. ❤ He has a plan and a purpose for all of us we are all here for a reason and we might never know what that reason is but the master creator knows and He sees the bigger picture. ❤❤
i’m a muslim but i want to tell you something: I felt the same and it is okay to feel like this sometimes. The most important thing is to not lose faith!
What helps me at those moments is to pray to god and tell him everything what i feel and begging him for help.
I feel like we all talk to rarely to him although he listens better than a friend or husband and can help better than them.
I pray for your all🌷
I am so grateful that this video showed up on my timeline. I am so deeply frustrated with myself, and this video not only has some of the best and most relatable advice... it also makes me feel like im not the only one. I know i can get past this and become the wife and mother i am meant to.
To do everything as if it was for God... I pray that the Lord reminds me of this verse when I feel overwhelmed and unwilling to go the extra mile in my work.
Thank you for faithfully sharing biblical advice with us. We need the constant reminders.
May God bless you and your work!🙏💕🕊
Thank you for encouraging me and others like me with this video. I’m a single mama who is walking out of the other side of a long apathetic season. I don’t know what was more comforting was that I woke up with the thought these kids need you , the fact that this wasn’t what I was coming to search on TH-cam for , or the softness in your delivery of this message. Thank you for reminding me I am not helpless and alone. Thank you for reminding me God sees me, thank you for reminding me God has a plan for me and now is my time to get a plan, and simply start where my feet are.
Me too
Thanks so much for sharing! I was so blessed by this. As a daughter living nearby my elderly parents, I get to help with the food preparations, laundry, cleaning and house chores for 6 of us. Also, by God’s grace, my family and I do missions for the homeless out of our home. Just seeing how much better it is to live in a space that has order is such a blessing from the Lord and you’re right, God is able to guide us and give us the strength we need for various multiple home projects. May God keep you and give you His peace.
Thank you for letting God use you to speak to so many issues like this one where I am stuck. A struggling marriage for many years, adopting at 50 years old and adopting again at 62 has been a struggle with children who have struggles that have taken a toll on me emotionally and I think I have just bottomed out with so many issues to deal with. I always would get up and go no matter the problem, but after so many years of the same burdens It seems I have folded up. But as this video Takes me back to my planning days and it got all done with purpose and diligence, I can see GOD was speaking directly to me. Start over!!!
❤
Would u mind sharing as to y u adopted so late in life?
Thank you for your encouragement. I’m a homeschooling mama, expecting #7 and the first trimester fatigue has me so tired and overwhelmed I often find myself sitting all day. Thank you for spurring me on! ❤
Confirmation just in time as He always does. Thank you for being obedient in making this video for His glory! We thank you God for your ways you reach us.
This video helped to calm my mind and peace and love in my heart. Thank you and God bless you. ✝️
I want you to know the Lord used you to speak directly to me today. I know all of these things and I have learned them but I have been in such a funk so overwhelmed by life lately and I forgot. I needed this little reminder. Thank you. ❤️
I'm struggling with this spirit in my husband and children. I could build a skyscraper with my current mindset. Them not so much. They are addicted to gaming and "relaxing". Thank you for helping me understand my discernment about planning and structure is not crazy.
Yeah that's the usual when it comes to men and children..
If you hold the pie dish in your left palm, then run the knife in downward motions along the edge whilst rotating, it makes trimming the pastry easier. It's a little hard to explain via text, I really liked the pattern you made along the edge, I'm going to try this, looks beautiful. Lovely video and great reminders x
Hello Tabitha!!! Your videos always bless me!! They are inspiring and encouraging!!! It's very easy to get in a rut when it comes to homemaking and house cleaning!!! Especially when your a empty nester. But I love a clean organized home so even when I'm not in the mood or don't feel like it I still do it!!! Thank you for your channel!!! I don't know where you find the time because I know you are very busy you are such a inspiration!!! Take care and God bless!!😊❤
I’m so glad you like my videos! I really enjoy making them
I wish everyone a happy and blessed new week! ❤✝️🙏🏻🕊️
The same to you:)
@@petranoska7219 Thanks so much! ♥️
❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing this wisdom! I actually got overwhelmed with planning trying to get everything in order and done,so I gave myself a break and now I'm trying to get back into it. This video has motivated me even more! This message was meant for me! I appreciate you, God bless you and your family!
I tell ya sometimes God puts things right infront of you because He knows just what you need! This video is just that! Thank you for making this video and sharing it! I needed to hear it all! I can't wait to make some positive changes in my life and for my family! God Bless!
Beautiful. Ive been battling with laziness. I tend to get so overwhelmed with everything I have to do that I just avoid it. Then at night I feel bad that I didnt do this or I didnt do that.
Thank you for telling us that perhaps we are not lazy, we just need to have some sort of plan/goals for the day to help us stay focused. ❤
This reminded me that I have taken the time to plan but have been a bit distracted with this and that. I took out my simple plan for the week. I keep the task for day 😊I’m putting it to use today
Yayy!
I struggle tremendously with planning. I get so overwhelmed with all the tasks. I'm a homeschooling mama & about to have a high schooler & am super anxious with it all 🙏🏼
Thank you for choosing to share this .. I've had a tough week and coming across this was like jesus sitting next to me and talking to me God bless you.
I struggle to manage my chores and home. I know laziness and procrastinating is sin. And your video is helping me a lot ❤
A few weeks ago I was so discouraged with being a SAHM and homemaker. I just felt so down about it bc I felt stuck and couldn't get things done, and then they were piling up and I was just overwhelmed. I cried out to God for help. and He helped me indeed! Discovering you channel has been a gift. I really thank God for you Tabitha! every time I feel overwhelmed by the dishes or whatever chores I need to do, I usually just throw on your video and get to moving. I've also been more inspired to just take care of myself, like put on mascara and fix my hair lol. Anyways, your channel is a blessing. Thank you friend! - Malu (Oakland, CA)
Thank you so much for telling me that! It really encourages me to make more content. I’m so glad my videos have helped you 🥹
I’m not one who leaves comments.. but I’m so glad to have run across your video today… God used you to show me how to over come this cycle of laziness in homemaking❤ Thank you and I pray many blessings over you and your family ❤
Thank you for another great video you will never know how much you helped me and still do you are an angel on earth god bless you and your family ❤
It’s a beautiful community you’ve built here Tabitha. I really enjoyed reading some of the comments here. Everyone sharing their various routines and tips. More so it’s amazing to see how unique each woman’s style of organization is. It just took off so much of unnecessary shame for me. I thought I’d share mine too if it helps other women :)
I have 2 toddler boys. I really want to wake up early and have an ideal morning routine but right now I wake up with them at 8am. While they’re eating breakfast, I take out a boring notebook and plan my day. I write out a to do list that has 4 categories- Work, self, home and kids. And I try not to list more than 5 things within each category. I also give myself permission to not complete at least 1 thing per category (recovering perfectionist here). I also write out the meals for the day and groceries to be bought.
In terms of time management, I’m flexible because my kids are young need my constant attention. I’ve found that when I become too task oriented, I get irritated by their interruptions. So I don’t over schedule. I tend to ‘block plan’ like Tabitha does.
Thank you so so much for this video. I struggle with getting tasks done around my house. In my heart I want to have a clean home for my husband and kids but I never understand why I cannot finish tasks around the house. I cant tell you how many times Ive cried struggling to keep my home clean..i was raised that way and it is a generational curse of being disorganized that needs to be broken and that I definitely do not want to pass on to my kids...thank you again, this video is such a blessing. May the Lord keep using you ❤
I think God laid this in your heart for me❤
I was looking for a sermon I had paused on TH-cam and stumbled upon this. I took a ton of notes and I thank you for sharing this video. I can’t wait to share it with my play date moms. Thankful that God put this on your heart to share. So many struggle with routines and homemaking. Speaking for myself a list will help me ALOT. So thank you again for sharing this, especially the scripture to back it all up. ❤️🙏🏾
Wow, thank you so much for this video. I have watched it several times now! I have always wanted to plan better because I know it helps me accomplish so much more. But planning terrifies me. I don't know if its fear of failure. But I needed this video so much. Thank you for your faithfulness and obedience to put it together!! Im so blessed by it!
thanks for posting can you do a longer video talking about this. would love to hear it while I clean and organize, I like to listen to motivational videos related to homemaking.
I love you and I love your videos but I can’t listen to this one bc I have no choice but to be a working mom bc my husband is disabled and time is what I do not have. I squeeze my homemaking tasks in on Saturday and the last hours of my day after work so this video was too much for me.. God bless you sister and thank you for teaching women everywhere Godly homemaking 💗🙏🏻
Prayers for you. ❤ You are an amazing mama and wife. Keep doing a great job! 🫶🏼
Hi Rachel: I have been thinking about your comment for 2 days and for whatever reason I just could not close this tab. I think I can relate to how you feel. My husband stopped working almost 2 years ago but didn't do much around the house. The worry and resentment were eating at me. It was right about the time our oldest was going to start college and we had just refinanced the house from 30 years down to 15 years so our mortgage payment had gone up. In my case, I resented having to work and also do chores. After about 3 months, I finally accepted God's will for my life. If God wanted my husband to provide again, then He would give my husband a job and in the mean time I would care for my home while I also worked outside of the home. Before this all happened, our family of 6 would spend about $1700 in groceries plus about $300 eating out approximately. Once I was content with my role as a part-time homemaker and out of necessity because I had to cut our spending, I started baking and cooking from scratch most of our meals. Now I can spend around $700 in total. This has saved more than $12,000 a year. I have been paying off credit card debt and helping our daughter with college expenses. She has no debt. I have been asking the Holy Spirit every day for wisdom on how to manage my time, energies and money, and He has helped me every day. I do follow some of the advice from this video. I wake up around 6:20am, empty the dishwasher, start a load of laundry, pack the kids lunches and my lunch, and start a meal in my pressure cooker. In the evening, I finish the meal and hang or fold the laundry as I take it out of the machine. I have all my baking supplies in a cupboard for easy access. I shop sales and freeze meat that I find on sale. In bed, before I fall asleep, I think about the meals for the next day and think about the order in which I need to do them so that I can do them before I leave for work. The Holy Spirit is our helper and He can help us with our everyday tasks if we reach out to Him. I do have things that I kind of neglect, like my floors. I really hope I didn't annoy you. I send you a big hug.
Marriage is for thick and thin. You women all inspire me. God will work it for good _Rom 8:28
. Thank you for this comment. Helped me reflect in a different way.
Omg i just stumbled upon urcomment .n ur a wonderful n strong mamma.thats all i can say for now@linamerchan
I don’t comment that often on videos but you need to know how much your words helped me today. Thank you so much for making your videos and pointing to God ❤
Thank you for this! A great reminder that God's word can motivate us.
I appreciate all the scripture that you put into this and how you’re explaining becoming a homemaker not really watching how this was done as a child but growing into the gifting of the Lord has given me my tribe of children and my home is very overwhelming and it’s definitely 100% necessary so I definitely appreciate this video
Thank you! I am in my 50's and sometimes I just lose my way in my days. I do not like schedules, but I have always be told I need structure. Thank you for your advice, love of God, and helping others. I know God showed me this video purposely! I don't feel alone in this. ❤
God bless you, sister in Christ. I had this video on my watch later for a couple weeks and it kept popping up for me finally this early morning, I decided to watch it and it has blessed me so much because before I watch this video I opened the book of Proverbs and did a deep dive on the word, prudence and what it means to be prudent. Come to find out it’s all about making good choices and being a critical thinker. Being prudent takes planning, organization and thought to accomplish everything we have in a busy day. You said something that I always say to my Bible Study group “God blesses order!”
God made His orders by being prudent and by planning, Needless to say this video just came full circle for me and confirmed that I’m not lazy, I just need better planning. Consistency will eliminate any laziness!
God bless you and thank you! 🙌🏽✝️🙌🏽
Perfect video. I needed to hear this. I plan. I am a homeschool mom of 7 kids and planning is essential to a happy home and a well fed family! Thank you for the scripture and pouring God’s word into me and others!!!
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you for being obedient to God's calling, not only in your homemaking but by sharing yourself here in this space. It's been such a huge blessing for me. ❤️
This is a wonderful reminder how important it is to take care of our homes even when it seems like there is so much to do.
I love your Biblical womanhood videos! 🥰
My faith has been my anchor. Could never do without it. You are an inspiration. Fantastic wife and mother. Should be so proud of yourself. Glad i found this. Blessing from Ireland.💚
Wow this is very encouraging. Thank you. I am a housewife and a mother of two toddler boys. This is a timely encouragement for me. God bless you and your entire family.
I feel this video is the sweet encouragement I needed from God to be more intentional. I resolved to do more meaningful things each day because I was slipping into distractions and simply moving from task to task throughout the day without any real order to my approach. I stopped meal planning and my house got messy. I homeschool and it’s definitely impacted our time together as well. I want better and God is so kind to show me your video today. I downloaded the Structure App. It looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thank you for this. Ive never seen any videos of yours before. I am definitely not lazy and I plan out my entire week for cleaning cooking kids laundry etc.. but what i never planned into my day was time for prayer and devotion. We have 6 kids, husband works outside of the home and our youngest two are 6 month old twins. I have been feeling overwhelmed as they need more and more of my attention every day and sometimes i forget to just stop and enjoy the two little blessings we prayed for over 5 years. But during this video i realized its because i didnt plan in time for God other than my nightly prayers. So thank you God for putting this video in front of my face. And thank YOU for making it.
I am three weeks postpartum and this is my first week home without my husband. I have a 5 yo and 2 yo as well. I’ve been feeling really unmotivated and tired - not doing much and feeling guilty about it. Trying to find a balance between resting and taking care of my body postpartum and being productive. This was helpful.
Dear, this doesn’t apply to you. Postpartum is the most important. There should be someone helping you with cleaning and cooking (like a relative) while you take care of baby and kids. Don’t feel guilty. Being up and about too soon after PP doesn’t mean you are “hardworking and good”. ❤
Thank you for exposing the word of God so beautifully and lovingly. I have been truly encouraged by this. May God bless you and your family and continue to grow you closer and closer to Him.
I love the encouragement and use of scripture. So motivating!
Thank you Mama for this video ❤ I’m a military wife / mother of three and lately I have been overwhelmed by everything and i thought Oh God I felt like a failure and lazy but I THANK GOD FOR REMINDING THAT I’m not a failure I just lack structure and discipline 🙌🏾 God bless you
Thank you for sharing this! I have been feeling pretty down lately about not being able to “keep up”. Making lists has always helped me and I’ve never realized why! This was very helpful and enlightening.
Not a wife or mom yet, but I have definitely allowed the sin of idleness to take hold for too long. Fear and doubt have no place where the Holy Spirit resides. In this temple, the only fear allowed is that of the Lord God. It's definitely feeling overwhelmed that holds me back. I also lack motivation, but this just gave me a nice boost to create a plan. I thank God for using you to bless me today. May He continue to bless you in your own journey. PS: Watching you cook and do dishes was super soothing lol. Can't wait to check out more of your content. Thanks again!
Thankyou sister in Christ for this video. 😊 to be honest i'm so bad in planning, during weekends (day off) i would only scroll on my phone and it gives me extreme migraines knowing thay I wasn't able to finish even 1 task 😭 this is so encouraging! God bless you!
Homemaking is a call. Thanks for the reminder and words of encouragement in a time when we can sometimes feel useless 🙏
This was very warm and settling. i just randomly came across it thank Jesus. But it has definitely helped me during my journey of putting perspectives in order in my life. I WFH and will be going back to school soon so this was extremely helpful.
Thank you for another wonderful video, Tabitha ❤ So much wisdom that speaks to my heart.
Your video is what I needed to hear today. Thank you for being a woman of God. I have repented of my laziness and idleness. I am recommitting to doing the things that I do for the glory of God, and to focus less on selfish desires to be recognized for all that I do. I believe with this change of heart, I will find more fulfillment in being a homemaker and a child of God.
I’m blessed this came on my feed.
I just came back from a 3 day convention, landed in my city 2am and resumed at work by 7:30am. All through the flight, I’ve been asking God how do I keep the fire I got at this conference burning. I don’t want to look back at today in 6 months and feel bad that I’m barely on surface level again. God told me, planning but I didn’t know how to do that planning.
Now I know what God wants me to do.
Being a mother, a career woman and hubby who work STRANGE hours seems like a perfect excuse not to plan cos after 7 - 3 work schedule; pick kids from school/daycare, rush to piano lessons and all other activities our kids get into; make dinner, one is literally done for the day.
Thank you. This is very encouraging. I am in the process of planning. I feel like I am so busy doing chores all day while homeschooling the kids, yet it feels like nothing gets done and dinner is ready at bedtime. Especially with a needy baby, all my tasks get pushed off. I need to schedule my weeks out for doing everyday tasks
This video blessed my heart and encouraged me so much even though my children are grown … I used write a to do list cross each item after I did it.
It was very helpful!
I got away from it cause life happens…
Thank you for your encouragement. Seeking prayer for Gods wisdom in my life with current circumstances.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This Was such an influential and impactful video for me to watch tonight!! 😌 If I could share any video to all of my stay at home mammas, homemakers, homeschool moms, and wives out there; this would be the video I would show them! You simplified the plans so well on how to effectively manage our homes! Thank you for sharing, this was a blessing! And I can’t wait to share this wisdom with my other sisters in Christ!!!
I find your videos inspiring. I play them as I'm doing things around the house... Even something as simple as making my bed.
1st timer here ❤ I loved it and have made a Playlist so I can watch 1 or 2 a day while I do my household work Thank you God for leading me here!! Does anyone know if she has some on how she homeschools all her children? I have 3 from age 17, 13, & 10 my 3 grandchildren from my 25 yr old son ages are 6, 3 & 1...anyone else here homeschooling?
I'm always blessed and encouraged by your videos. Thank you!💕
I'm so glad!
Bless you, where has your channel been! Im so thankful to have found you this morning. I prayed for God to give me peace and help me not feel so lazy and this was top of my recommendation. The algorithm may have been kind today but I know Gods work when I feel it. This has helped me and brought me peace thank you (even the links for the reading material and recipes, wow! ❤❤)
Thank you so much for encouraging..really you motivated me as a Christian homemaker.. your new friend.. love from India ❤❤
Super practical. Start a load in the morning, switch over in afternoon and fold and put away evening! Idk why I never thought of this. But I am starting it right now. Literally its morning and I just put a load in.😅
Ty Tabitha. Such wisdom and truth.
Amen. Thank you for this. Maybe it's not laziness. Will definitely start planning. I'm not one to follow a home schedule. Maybe that's what is missing. Thank you for the scripture readings.
I needed to hear this. I've been struggling to finish tasks and this burdened me with anxiety. A vicious cycle. Thank u sister ❤
GOD bless you! I came across this as I was looking for something to listen to while I folded some laundry. I’m a wife-to-be lol and always eager to learn from faithful women that respect GOD’s order and implement it into their homes. Bless you, I will be subscribing!
Glad to see your blog for the very first time and very happy with your biblical topics, nowadays it's our need to our soul very deeply, may God bless you more and more❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just found your series today, Really thanking the Lord that this is here, needing this at this time in my life, Cant wait to view the rest.
Thank you very much…. I appreciate EVERYTHING you shared today. Gentle reminders are needed. ❤
I've been a planner for many years. I took early retirement a couple of years ago and I still have a routine and a plan even with no kids left at home (other than the fur babies) and no "work". I've become committed to making my home a haven and cooking from scratch. I also began working with my church youth group after taking a break from it for a few years. My planner and routine help so much with these goals.
Also, thank you for the reminder of Proverbs 16:3. In a particularly stressful time in my life I developed OCD in an attempt to regain some control in the area of my life where I had control - my home environment. So, this hit home with me.
The Lord lead me to listen to you today, thank you, thank you. So good I think I will watch again.❤
Just found you and I love the Christian video. Mom of 3 from South Africa. May God bless your work❤
Planning and routines have always assisted me in being a good homemaker
I truly appreciate this video. I want to be a wife and mother one day. This is very encouraging. God Bless you 🙏
Thank you, this video helped me, and I believe God brought me here. Even though I am a divorced empty nester I need to make a joyful, organized home for myself, my two dogs, and my visiting children. Have struggled with overwhelm and circumstantial depression which is getting better with time and God’s help. Until I move to a new home in my children’s city of residence, must keep this one up and prepare to put it on the market. May God bless you and your family. Thanks again.
Such a Biblical encouragement and peaceful feast for my spirit.
This video is blessing to those who want to be Christian home makers but don't know how .
God has your life. Don't worry. I'm with you.
I really enjoyed your video. My current living space is shared and I found myself being overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done repeatedly. I am going to try the block method of planning with two littles it seems like the best option. Thank you God bless you!
Encouraging .. esp the sharing of scripture! Thank you!
Oh my goodness that pie dish is beautiful! This is the first video of yours I've seen and it sat in my "watch later" list for well over a month 😅 this is absolutely something I struggle with! Subscribed ❤🙏🏽
I just happened across your video. I love this video. Some of this is easy to do. My husband and I live with our son and his family. I am lucky that I get to stay home and watch my grandchild. I do what housework I can.
Needed this today, thank you and God Bless!
Muslim girl here but 99% of what you said I can agree with. A beautiful video and such inspiring information
Im a mother and grandmother.
My daughter is sleep deprived sometimes to the point of tears from little ones waking very early or frequently.
She desires peace and order but is tired all the time.
I’m so glad I found this video. God has been speaking to me about this lately. I want to steward all of the blessings He has given me more effectively in order to honor Him.
Also, laziness is wickedness. It’s best to repent first, then plan. This statement is mostly for myself.
You inspired me to try a new bread recipe tonight: I struggle with starting to make bread because one of my toddlers is really needy and always wants me EXACTLY when I'm kneading dough. This way, I don't have to park them in front of the TV just so I can bake, which makes me feel guilty every time. But by PLANNING ahead, now I can use a no-knead recipe that can rise all night, then I can just bake in the morning. If this works, I can stop relying on store-bought bread which definitely makes me feel lazy.
Practical advice. Thank you.
I’m in first trimester and I’ve been beyond exhausted and all routines and systems have failed but it’s not really an option bc I have 4 other kids. Need to figure out a new plan.
Such a blessing to have found your videos - thank you so much for your biblical wisdom
