The words that "God notices " really got to me. I deal with a lack of appreciation from my 3 kiddos and my husband. But you e made me realize I'm looking at the wrong people for appreciation. I will be cleaning for God now. 😊 he notices my work and my homemaking. It's through service to him that I will keep a clean and godly home.
Amen sis! He notices when others don't. I feel you sis and that's what I remind myself that God sees the work I do even if others don't, it's all good He notices and marks it down so no need to stress and stress others.
Yes I love that analogy I want my house clean just in case Yahshua ( Jesus) stops by ❤❤
The kids should start helping out too. Begin by giving them little responsibilities and gradually increase. e.g. "Hey kids, no tv or phones till the dining table is cleared. Kids #1 and 2, load the dishes in the dishwasher." This prepares them for adulthood and will def increase appreciation! Start with a chore chart 🙂
We often look at the scripture that states "work as unto the Lord" as being applicable to working outside the home but working as unto the Lord applies to the inside of the home first as your home is your first ministry. God sees what you do and everyone else will get it later.
@@kenyabrownfeeser9571,
Well said , “ Your Home is your First Ministry! “ 🤗💕
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to take a break and rest! Lazy is not always "lazy".
Rest is sweetest after a hard days work!
@@ThisMamasFaithwow you are obnoxious
Are not being lazy if you work and then take time to rest. People go, go, go and burn themselves out people pleasing, looking for approval, trying to keep up with the Joneses, and striving for success. That's a whole other problem. Being lazy is letting things fall apart around you and wasting time (like I am now 😂) I understand the lazy she is talking about and I struggle with it sometimes.
So true...I've struggled with laziness and no idea how to clean a house or homemaking...Praise God for the work is doing through you...doing nothing overwhelms us...
@@ThisMamasFaithSaid she who hasn't got a chronic illness.

I'm just coming out of 13 years of opiate addiction God woke me up and He radically changed the desires of my heart, after basically being in bed for so many years this has been my biggest struggle. Working for 8 hours is a success for me. I need to use the whole day though! This was very convicting and very useful. Thank you so much for sharing your skills/knowledge and heart for Christ ❤️🙏✝️
I have a very similar testimony !! May God continue to transform you and surround you with his everlasting love and strength and be your ever present help in time of need therefore have no fear! God bless you sister!
6 yrs clean here sister!!! ✝️🩷
So proud of you 👏
@tamijo thank you Tami! Encouragement helps me so much. My husband just got clean after almost 20 years and although he is not seeking the Lord I see God moving in his life and am believing for his salvation! Four months ago if I told my old self that struggling to use the whole day would be my biggest sin/struggle I would have laughed... I need to keep perspective on how far I've come and not get ahead of the Holy Spirit. He's working in me daily and everything is coming in God's perfect time! Conviction not condemnation right 😊 appreciate you! God bless ❤️🙏✝️
@@maximarosen777 God is using you in everyone's lives. 🙏 Thankyou Jesus ♥️
Everything you said was 100%! No coincidence God sent this video in front of me, I asked Him last night to keep the spirit of Sloth away from me and it’s something I am working on now/praying about. I subscribed! The Bible verses were convicting!!
Amazing!!
Me too
Yes, way too much phone scrolling here… I feel overwhelmed, emotionally tired, and a lack of direction, so I just distract myself. Instead I need to start getting the basics done and then trust God to guide me further.
Thanks for this thoughtful video. At first I expected it to go in a judgmental/self righteous direction (maybe I was feeling a little defensive 😅), but you spoke the truth while still providing encouragement and solutions. So edifying!
I’m feeling the same way… almost feel stuck in this feeling
Thank you for this! I’m very convicted about laziness. It’s something I struggle with daily and I know it’s not a good example to my daughter. But with God, I can overcome it!! ❤
I used to feel this way but after changing my diet it improved. I saw a nutritionist and started taking choline for some anemia. The anemia was the cause of low energy. The low energy would make me lazy. Maybe get it checked out and it might help. Best of luck!
You hit the nail on the head so hard!!! I have been known to be constantly busy, but never actually achieving anything and I am horrible about mismanaging my time. Thank you for the conviction and motivation! ❤
Ohhh also, leaving to run errands as an excuse to have quiet time. 😬
You got this!
I did quite a bit of cleaning yesterday, focusing on my kitchen and done a lot of laundry, today was church and working on more laundry, I want to do better but Im suffering with post menopausal depression and anxiety and my provider thinks I have an undiagnosed ADHD, plus I work 40 hours a week as a nurse at a busy Dr office. It really felt good what I did yesterday, I totally want to do better
“How to keep house while drowning” KC Davis.. there are reasons people can’t get things done beyond just laziness. If you find that this advice still doesn’t help, maybe you have adhd or chronic illness/pain, read this book. You aren’t broken
Yes! ADHD is not laziness, it’s a type of disability
@ThisMamasFaith
No,it's a super power❤And I can honestly say,as somebody who was diagnosed with adhd 30 years ago,it's totally possible to keep a clean home with consistent self discipline and Good routines❤
@@Kelly_marie_79 yes! Definitely it is! I agree that it’s possible because I am also proof!
@@ThisMamasFaith Yay! God bless ❤️
Wow. This is the first video I have seen by you. I just stumbled on it. I struggle immensely with depression and low self esteem and I let those issues control me. It causes so much slothfulness. I have been praying to Heavenly Father to please help me be a better wife and mother and homemaker. I feel like He led me to this video. Every point you made is something I severely struggle with. I had a counselor once tell me You can choose your hard. You can choose to be depressed and overwhelmed and never get any satisfaction in getting anything done or you can get off the phone and clean the kitchen. That advice has resonated with me but your video is helping me see how to do it and how truly important it is to not only me but my family also. Thank you ❤
I'm currently deep studying Proverbs and last week my focus was chapter 6. What an incredible example of hardwork the teeny little ant provides! The Word is such a blessing! ❤
Amen!
I am enjoying how you weave scripture into your homemaking videos. God’s peace, Tabitha❤
This video helped me pickup my kitchen tonight rather than putting it off till morning. Thank you!
Okay well I ran into this at the perfect time. I have been wanting to clean but been having neck issues and decided to lay down and grab my phone. What you said about progress over perfection was PERFECT. I feel like everything has to get done at once and then I get overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you 🙏🏼
"Doom scroll" what an apt description
This is so good. I struggle with feeling like everything needs to be done “now” and I feel frustrated that my husband and kids don’t have the same sense of urgency😂.
You reminded me in this video, to schedule my day. I forget that I don’t have to do EVERYTHING , EVERYDAY. I can spread the tasks out. And also to remember to have the heart of a servant. The Lord is pleased by this heart posture. Thanks for these reminders!
I know exactly what you mean, I stress myself out from feeling like everything must be done at once. Thank you for this comment, it’s a great reminder to slow it down, & complete the tasks with a meek, humble & joyful spirit.
@@emilykamal5748 💕😊
for some of us, our mental health holds us back to which the majority of people state this is lazy when really sometimes just breathing makes us so overwhelmed we run and hide.
Struggling with mental health is not laziness. I’m praying you find the help you need.
Spot on! I remind myself often that, "a done something is better thana perfect nothing."
Oh I love the way you phrased that!
I hope this big emphasis on “laziness” doesn’t make life harder for those moms who are physically tired and emotionally struggling.
Dealing with mental and emotional problems are not laziness. I too pray that people don’t find Gods word hard, but instead full of grace and love
@@ThisMamasFaithYou are so judgemental!
Thank you for this reminder! I am a stay at home Mom and at times I feel like I'm doing the same thing over and over. This is important to hear!
You’re doing important work!!
@@ThisMamasFaith thank you again your kind words and motivation from spreading the word are so important and I appreciate it ❤️🙏
@ThisMamasFaith this comment right here is what I needed. ❤ God definitely speaks through you!
I think it’s easy to swing between being lazy and not taking time for rest as a mom! I appreciate you talking about this topic Tabitha. ❤
So true!
Thank you Tabitha for the encouragement and scriptures you’ve shared. I listen as I am cleaning and your voice is so soft and sweet. The world doesn’t appreciate or understand biblical womanhood. It is so far removed from the world’s standard. Don’t stop doing what you’re doing. I appreciate it and it strengthens me.
Thank you so much for your encouragement
I was praying for a long time about being motivated. Lord, please give me the motivation to get up and start. I am the type of person that once I get started I tend to go, go, go. My husband came to me today and told me he wanted to let me know he has noticed my efforts recently. That touched my heart and drew my attention to the fact that the Lord heard my prayers. Sometimes my energy is just so low. I feel depressed. I feel discouraged. I do often get myself trapped in cycles of doom scrolling as Tabitha said. I have felt so much more accomplished and motivated to continue keeping up on everything. I grew up in an unkempt house. The last month or so I've felt led to really start involving my young kids and teach them how to do chores. There is just such a difference. Now for the motivation and know how to keep up on menu planning. That's a big struggle for me too.
Tonight I’m having a flare up of pain and thought I ‘deserved’ a half hour rest before tackling the day’s dishes. I chose to listen to your video ( first time seeing you ) and had to chuckle that you suggested getting the dishes done while listening to you! I homeschooled my 7 children over 32 years. Best thing EVER!
Wow! I’m so glad I inspired you! Pain is not easy to overcome. 32 years homeschooling!!? Incredible
You do deserve rest when you need it. Sounds like you certainly know how to push yourself to do what's needed...pain is a harsh teacher that can show us how to balance. Praying for your best. It's my first time on this channel, too. Back hurting and going to scrub this toilet soon. Still setting an example for the youngins' 😅❤
That Bible verse in Proverbs hit me the same way when I read it. And when you said “don’t wait until you feel like it to do something”. Years ago Dr Laura S. said “the actions drag the feelings, not the other way around”. And also we can pray over our children’s beds while we make them, be thankful for dirty dishes because that means we filled our bellies. The ants....GOD’s creation never ceases to amaze me. No one can say GOD doesn’t exist...HIS creation proves it ✝️❤️. Glad I stumbled on your video. 💕
What a great reminder! I often fall into laziness. I found that planning my day, (like you said), does help me. I have found myself getting in the habit of making sure that I have the house straightened before I leave the house. I make sure the dishes are washed before I leave. This makes me coming home feel peaceful instead of dreading what I should have gotten done. I like what you said about "done is better than perfect." I am asking God to help me overcome being a perfectionist. There is no peace in trying to be perfect. Thank you so much for this video! God bless you
"Trash TV" is the perfect definition for it!
I’m also a Mom of 6. Everyday is hard. I have 4 under 5 years old. All they do is make messes. I’m cleaning up after them and they are being me making another mess. I needed this. Thank
you a million times. I need to do better! This is by no accident I came across your message. God bless you!
Hope you are not hard on yourself. It's not going to be easy looking after your kids, so make sure to be accepting and have some peace so you don't burn out. If you can get the older ones pitching in, that would be a great goal to reach. Kids give each other an example, so if the older ones get busy now you should have much more help for the future.
@@mayharmon6948 Excellent advice! I felt sorry for the previous comment....people are so hard on themselves especially when they have a very big family.
Ask Jesus to help you. He never expects us to have a 'demand mentality' of ourselves. Jesus died to make it easier for us. Use Him. He wants to partner with you in this life. It's not all up to us!! Bless you, You're doing so well.
I have 5 children. Sometimes it makes it easier if you keep them all in the same room with you in a very controlled environment. Controlled meaning not much they can get into to make messes. The times they are awake and are not napping you can plan the play time so you are involved with this and there is no huge mess to ever pick up. Then during nap times you can do the real cleaning stuff quickly in spurts. Also you can involve the littles in helping… rags for each to dust or they can help sort socks or fold clothes to help put things away… you can make a game of it and play praise music, sing songs together , etc… Be the leader, teacher, mom you can be. Have a plan. You got this! God can help you do it! 😊
@@LindaLights This was so beautiful. Thank you for your comment even though I'm 3 months late reading it. Thank you. I'm teaming up with Jesus!
Wow God is definitely using you to speak to me. My home is clean, however there are things that need to be done. My husband passed away 6 1/2 years ago & I feel overwhelmed with the things that need to be done because I’m afraid that I will fail at what needs to be done. Thank you for being a wonderful servant of God. 🙏🏻❤️
God bless you!! 🙏🏼
The best advice I've heard about fear of failure is to try morethings more often then the failures won't sting as much and the successes will lift your spirit.
Thank you for this. At times I do feel lazy even on days off of work and doing college work, I feel like as I get done with college classes and did not do much around the house and it is later in the day, I feel guilty for not helping my mom out. I should better routines to help her out and make better choices. Thank you sister of God. ✝️
These Sunday morning christian homemaking videos have been such a blessing to me. I'm not too good at keeping routines and this particular video has helped me look at it differently. Thank you. AMEN
I think I’m being lazy because I feel overwhelmed by a couple of messes in my home. I need to declutter those messes. I can say I spent a few minutes yesterday and cleaned up a small area in the big mess. I do use excuses. I’m busy taking care of elderly parents and some days I’m physically and mentally exhausted. Then fall into the “lazy” mood. I was never really taught to keep a home. Good idea to pray about it and plan my day. Thank you so much for your videos.
Decluttering will help so much! That’s what I’m currently doing
As one who likes to think I hold the gift of self reflection, I do suffer form laziness. This was the first time coming across your channel & it was a beautiful message. I loved the progress not perfection part! Thanks for sharing, will be following for more ❤
I’m so glad you found my channel!
I love the saying “Do what you can. But be realistic about what that is” I use to make huge To-Do list because I felt lazy if I didn’t get EVERYTHING done but then couldn’t get it done because it was too much-which then made me feel even more lazy and incompetent… especially in the realm of social media and comparison. I finally realized that I had to be realistic about what I could actually get done in a day without neglecting my family and exhausting myself. Yes we all have 24 hrs in a day but not everyone’s 24hrs look the same. You have be realistic in what YOU can do and work from there. I actually rarely watch TH-cam videos anymore because it’s not usually a good use of my time (no offense) and when I’m doing chores I’m either multitasking with kids or using it as quiet time for my brain!
Love that! I think us mothers definitely always try to “get it all done” but if we focus on the most important next thing, one thing at a time, and always just know we’re doing our best, then we’re doing a fantastic job!
@@ThisMamasFaith absolutely!! Knowing what the important things are and prioritizing those things and knowing what can wait for later is a necessity
This was so good to hear! After a year of homeschooling and sports I have been lazy in June not wanting to do "work". But there is much to do before the next school year starts and I need to get going . Thank you for the motivation.
How did your first year go? My homeschooling experience started horribly. By now, we have a lot better routine. I had to drop the "brick and mortar" mentality. Also, a lot of perfectionism had to be put away. Hopefully you're having a good time of it. ❤
Thank you for this ❤️ I’m a stay at home mom as well and have add, and thyroid issues (along with bipolar 2 and anxiety/depression that comes with it) and my energy and motivation are terrible! I’ve struggled with procrastination and laziness my whole life on top of my mental health- they can feed each other, but are definitely separate. Habits and routine and God’s help are so important. He’s done so many miracles with helping me build new habits and has answered prayers to help my memory! Anywho I always need a good reminder of this message. Thank you SO MUCH for making this video 🙏
Thank you for sharing that perspective that although they are separate, they feed on eachother. I can struggle with mental health at times and I agree that routines are so helpful!
I also am a child of God with bipolar and thyroid issues. I also struggle with laziness and procrastination. However having watched various declutter and cleaning videos I have decluttered my flat and cleaned it. Just got to clean fridge and microwave plus mop floors.
I think its really important to also understand that some people simply have different capacities as well. If you see how another person works and youre not able to do that, it does not mean you're lazy
I used to be the lazy housewife then I prayed about it and God gave me strength. What works for me is to make a list of what needs to be done and check it off, a single check off the list motivates me to do another thing and at some point everything gets checked😊. I'm not perfect, I still have my "lazy days" and my husband always encourages me to take a break whenever I need to. But one thing I've just recently realized, if in my morning prayer I specifically ask for God to give me strength to do my housework for the day, its definately easier, everything just flows, I feel more energized😊
And you actually believe this is from a god 🤣🤣😆😆
@@cynthiabragg2611 yes I do actually. If it doesn't affect you why bother replying 😊. People laugh at us that's ok coz whether you laugh or don't believe doesn't invalidate my beliefs and actual experiences. Each to his own after all😊
I'm a mom of 7, Thank you so much for these words, and May God bless you 🥹
This could not have come at a better time. I was feeling helpless and was being lazy. Thank you for this.
I’m grateful there’s content like this…as a stay at home mom it’s a struggle to not fall into laziness, a lot of it has to do with appreciation for me, but like you said God notices so a little switcharoo is necessary if I do it for God then I don’t need appreciation from any one else. 🙏🏻
Yes!!
This encouraged me & spoke to me in ways only god knew i needed!! Thank you for following your heart because i have been praying to god about this exact topic & here it is!! thank you for this blessing!
How wonderful!!! Often laziness is a symptom of a deeper problem. I’m sure it can vary for some but for me it’s perfectionism. I spent years thinking…If I can’t do it perfectly I’m not interested. Until I moved my core value to trusting God in daily bread obedience instead of perfectionistic performance, that was honestly just to gain a feeling of superiority, I never made progress. A good rule for me is 15 minutes of work every hour. You can accomplish so much in 15 minutes. Also look around and find things to be grateful for don’t look for faults. God gave you everything you have don’t insult His gifts. Appreciate small things!!!
I think there is a great deal of truth to this message . I do think that balance is so important . If it comes down to home making and keeping a clean home or time spent meaningfully engaged with my three special needs children I will choose those kids and my spouse every time . I do agree we waste so much time on phones and devices. I believe it is our responsibility to engage and play with out kids .Thanks for sharing your perspective .
What a beautiful, sweet ministry! Thank you! This touched my heart, I have raised five children and am now a Granny of seven! Your words are inspiring and wise! Thank you for the motivation! ✝️🙏🏻❤️🥰
Start my Monday listening to this is just what i need. Thank you Tabitha for sharing❤
You are so welcome!
This genuinely blessed me so much. I work full time from home but also have 2 toddlers and still essentially am a homemaker and have become lazy in many ways, justifying it because I also work, but the truth is my home is also part of my job and I really needed to hear this today. God bless you and thank you for your obedience in making this video it sincerely helped me 😢😢❤❤
I love your digital diary. Depreession from controlling people and narcissists can cause severe trauma which leads to lethargy, clutter/hoarding and or more.
It can destroy our lives. And we don't realize we are drifting in a downward spiral bc ut is so subtle.
We don't know to realize or know something unless we actually see it or catch ourselves doing it.
Shifting our focus to what is good, pure, true, beautiful and the like will help pull us out of the dark spiral we may not always realize we are in.
Dealing with narcissistic people is sooooo hard! Praying for you!
Thank you, just what I needed to hear.
One day God said "don't touch your phone all day!" I did it but had to keep stopping myself from picking it up!!!
Thank you for sharing this message. God knows exactly what we need. I've literally been praying for motivation for the last couple of weeks.
Thank You! 🥺 "Done Is Better Than Perfect And Progress Over Perfection"
Came across your channel a few weeks ago. Ive reached the point in my life where i know that im closer to the end than the beginning. I've wasted too much time not being productive. You are an inspiration to this older lady. I love your channel and your values. Thank you for inspiring me to do and be better. May God continue to bless you and your family. ❣️❣️❣️
Yep! Procrastinating gives an illusion that it'll feel good. But it doesn't feel good later!
Loved this video! The balance of work and rest here with an emphasis on work. We seem to live in a day when work in a time where work is supposed to take last priority. We are encouraged to rest as much as possible, play as much as possible, and do the dishes whenever it suits us. I do not believe this is God’s original plan for us, especially as homemakers. As a mother to three, I believe it’s important that my children see me doing the dishes before going out to play with them and especially when I don’t feel like doing them! I believe it’s important for my children to see me folding laundry and doing house work. They are learning that I have a job to do and they too will have work to do when they become adults. My children are each other’s playmates. They have toys and I agree with Tabitha, it is not our job to entertain our children ALL the time, but this does not mean we are not enjoying them. I too often find this, enjoy your kids because it goes too fast. Just because you were working hard in your home. Doesn’t mean you are enjoying your family. You are the mom, not the playmate. But that doesn’t mean we don’t play with her kids and enjoy them.
I should add, that we have family members who have an off balance of relationship and work. In both directions. I think balance is truly key. The mom and her family who has emphasized relationship over housekeeping, raised six sloppy children. They’re all adults now and rather dysfunctional generally speaking. The other side ended up being very functional, but definitely missed the warmth and love. So I definitely think there needs to be a very strong balance. Because if you constantly choose relationship over your responsibility in the home, your family might grow up to not have a strong concept of homemaking.
Thank you! There was a reason this can up on my timeline. I needed to hear this.
I needed this 🙌 💛 thank you for being brave and reminding us what the Bible says. Feeling convicted! Amen 🙏
This has been helpful as I am cleaning my kitchen….I have been listening. I have been in a bit of a physical trial, a season of my life with a fractured wrist and 5 bulging discs in my neck. I have had very emotional days where it’s very difficult to get things done in the house because of nausea and pain so it has emotionally affected me negatively sometimes as it feels like I don’t get many things done. There are times when it is laziness and times when my body just doesn’t cooperate because of pain and limitations. This has been a challenging season two exercise discipline despite pain. Thank you for your encouragement! Makes me feel not alone in the house :)
This is so important. Inviting God in everything we do and to remember He sees us and He will reward us according to our works!!
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Soo meaningful! Gods communication to us thru others is a blessing in disguise. This had so much meaning for me today… thank you and may God continue to bless you and yours ❤
Thank you for this word today. I needed to hear this. You are such a blessing.
Thank you sister for this message. I feel this was a message I needed to hear 🙏
Thank you for this firm, but gently worded, reminder. It must have been very tressful for you to follow God's leading and post this. People are going to get offended, I'm sure. It's very easy to fall into lazy habits and patterns and then justify ourselves. I deserve a break, a reward. I just need to zone out for a but... etc. But alot of times a good stress clean is a way better way to get it out then doom scrolling or online shopping for all the things that will "fix it". I needed that reminder. I've been stressed about things ging on for us right now and let the house go too much. The kids follow my lead, and have gotten lazy as well. I need to step up and crack down on my own laziness, so I can help them learn to be more productive so we can enjoy our fun time guilt free.
This was a great encouragement and reminder to me as an older mom and wife. Thank you!
Thank you I've never thought about it like that before. I've definitely been feeling lazy these past couple of weeks, but believing I'm blessing my family makes it so much more worthwhile. That and Jesus asking me to wash dishes. Wow if he asked it would be immediate response and when I think about that I think my heart is full again. Luv karyann
Yes! That thought of Jesus asking is so convicting!
Im coming up on my 1 year anniversary with my husband and this video speaks so much. I have been struggling with this for almost the whole year and what a coincidence it popped up in my feed. Thank you so much, this has opened my eyes God bless
I love this, simply put , matter of fact truth! Thank you for boldly yet kindly putting this out there. God’s way just works!
This was so good and exactly what I needed to hear today! Thank you!❤🙏❤
This hit home for me, because I have a tendency to put thugs off that need to be done so I’m taking your advice and make a list thank you so much for your advice
Convicting but spot on. A message I needed to hear. ❣️Thank you for being bold! 💜💖
Thank you so much for this video. I agree with you that laziness is not God's plan for human beings. I like to be as productive as possible. Have a blessed Sunday.
Hi from Connecticut! New subscriber here! Been a Christian since 1976. Still growing in the Lord & so thankful & grateful He saved me. This video was very inspiring! I found that when I am discipline in my Bible reading & spending time w/ the Lord, going to church, helping my children & grandchildren, getting rest & exercising gives me a joyful heart & I have the energy to clean my home. Right now I'm cleaning out clutter! Feels so good ! 😊
Wow I just discovered your channel, and I already felt convicted with your title before starting it. I feel like God was speaking to me. Everything you described is me. And I always told myself “what’s the point?” As I also have to clean up after my spouse so it’s a battle not to get bitter and sit around. Although many ladies mentioned rest was important, for me it was more than rest I was just being lazy and watching trash tv and scrolling for hours like you mentioned. I struggled with depression for many years after my young kids were born and I think part of that reason was because I wasn’t homemaking accordingly like you mentioned. I loved this video so so much!And I started to finally pick up while listening. Thank you! ❤and God bless you. This really helped me and blessed me. Your voice is so soothing and peaceful! I feel like God is bringing me out of it. And he has been speaking to me recently it’s not a coincidence I ran into your video! ❤
I’m so glad you found me too!! 💞✨
This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear thank you!!
So glad!
I’ve been putting off watching this video since you posted it knowing I need to watch as I am struggling so much with laziness and find my self sad about how iv been raising my kids because I’m just lazy and unmotivated. So thank you again for these wise words of encouragement and thank you for making it practical!
You got this! Gods Grace will get you through it
I have never come across your channel and I did today. It was so timely for me. I am a stay at home grandma and I homeschool my two grandkids. The scripture you read in Proverbs ch 6 really hit me as well. This video brought some ideas and motivation to me. I thank God for this video and for me discovering your channel. Blessings.
So glad you found my channel!
Homemaking does bless me and I love serving the great family that God has blessed me with. I'm so thankful that you started doing this channel Tabitha. I love both but this one is truly amazing.
Happy 4th.
Thank you so much!
This video was put hear for me ! Much needed ! My blessing and motivation for the day .Thank you !
You have a new subscriber 😊
Thanks for sharing this topic reminder on laziness. I may not be a wife and a mother, but I love when you pointed out some of the factors behind laziness. I was brought up being discouraged by my non-believing mother about not to even bother helping her out whenever I asked, thereby the long struggle of feeling helpless btwn perfection & laziness hating my mundane life. But I thank God for his relentless pursuit that caused me to accept the Lord Jesus, and through your encouraging video I can learn to be diligent (not hardworking) like an ant invisible to the ppl in the same difficult house, but not to God the Heavenly Father who sees in secret. 😊
Thank you for encouraging me and to those who put their trust in the Lord!
I listen to podcasts, music, videos while working/cleaning. As a family, children are taught to clean. We divide and conquer.
Thank you for this video. I do consider myself a diligent homemaker, but as I listened to your video the Holy Spirit spoke to me about areas in my life I can improve upon. I appreciate the blessing that your words brought me today❤.
Wonderful!
Thank you for sharing this. I work in a school and thus summer off has been a blessing but I do get caught in laziness. :) This really reminded me of my role in our home as the homemaker.
I’m 70 years old, living in Arkansas. As a retiree I do some cleaning everyday as to not be overwhelmed as when I worked and had only one day off to get it done. I discovered your channel today. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Thank you for your wisdom. So true. Especially the power of our tongues. Love also your wisdom about getting it done instead of perfect. I once heard someone say, and this has helped me with procrastinating,. That the minute we start thinking about all the reasons we don't want to do something, just get up and do it. Rather than spending all that time contemplating the reasons we don't want to. God Bless you , your family and this channel. ✝️❤️🌎
Yes so true! We can’t even let ourselves think about not doing it, just move!!
Just found your channel, like it! 👍
I live alone, with my dog, and I have found that homemaking also is important for me and my home, for my own sake ♥️ I sometimes feel lazy, but am learning 🙏♥️
I will make it a prayer, to be diligent and not lazy. ✨
Thank god for you. Thanks for sharing the word with us. You’re absolutely right every single word you say.

As someone who battled Cancer a few years ago and still have affects from treatment, I agree with you. Great message Thank you
I am greatful to you for speaking truth. Sometimes truth is painful but I needed this today. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
New subscriber and sis has me loving her motivation videos....as a homemaker of 4 under 4, and a puppy (our family dog passed away in her elderly age recently) and sometimes i get so overwhelmed i sit idle but recently have been making yhe effort to make sure when i go to bed my sink is EMPTY and sparkling, books and toys are off the floors and floors are swept at the minimum if not swept and mopped. Makes the morning way less stressful and helps keep the day manageable.
Yes! Overwhelm is such a hard thing to deal with as it sometimes makes you freeze! I love using timers in those moments. I totally agree with a reset at night to make the next morning go smoother
Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts on laziness and how destructive it is. It affects you and those you love the most. Plus when you are not doing your best at creating a clean, well organized home, it affects your mental health. Work, especially housework, can be overwhelming. When we are having a difficult time staying motivated to keep tidiness, we need to focus on completing tasks one at a time. Make a list and check tasks off when completed. Before you know it, everything will be done. When I first got married many years ago, I worked three jobs. We were paying off cars and saving money for both my husband and I to be able to go to grad school. The only way I survived it was by making my lists. It kept everything running. I also knew this wasn't forever. I had never heard the Proverbs passage, but I wish I had.
Oh MY GOSH. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I know all of this, of course, but sometimes I just need to really HEAR it. Thank you!
So true! So glad you liked the video
I am thankful that God laid this on your heart to share. I needed this reminder today. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is so true. A routine will make everything. I have 2 babies and pregnant. I can't dedicate 3 hours straight to the house but little by little everything gets done
Wow the Lord speaks through you !! This has been on my heart for weeks. 😮
Thanks for the motivation to just keep on going. Many people tell me they don't know how I can do it with 5 kids.... I'm not super mom... if I don't get to moving it just doesn't get done. When I feel overwhelmed with my to do list I tend to tackle my least fav chore because it makes me feel good to have that big task done and everything else feels much easier.
Great idea!
It is no coincidence that I came across your page. My family and I have been eating out a lot because I have been burnt out, but I’m getting back into gear. Tonight I’m cooking dinner for my family.
I love this so much. Thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. 🤍
Thank you for this. I really needed to hear this video, i have a habit of being lazy alot, wspecially here lately, and our house has been pushed to the back burner lately. I have a job but I've also had time to straighten up the house and I am praying I will be better with our home. ❤
You got this!
Thank you, this Holly Spirit call, came when i more needed it. God bless you ❤
Thank you so much, I needed this, not only for working around the house, but for everything.
You are so welcome!
This is so helpful and so ENCOURAGING! Thank you!!
I’m so glad you liked it
