I came to this video thinking it would counsel me or provide some sort of reassurance on how I’ve been feeling about a close friend of mine. She seems so neglectful, lazy and sloth-like. It really is bothering me because I love her but also because I overwork myself all day every day. So I feel annoyed and upset with her lack of house work, lack of self care, and lack of attention when it comes to her family members. Guess what I realized from this video - I am spiritually lazy. There is more I could be doing to spend more time with God. He loves me and wants the best for me. I have work to do within myself. Thank you for this video ❤
Can I just say that I actually really enjoy the “harsh” things you say. Sometimes I need to hear it! I’ve been having some anxiety this week and I know I’ve been lazy. I know if I choose not to be lazy, it will actually help my anxiety. Sometimes we do the wrong thing even when we know what’s right. It’s good to have friends who will point it out. It helps us grow. I respect you Tabitha for saying “harsh” things. You are doing it to help others, not yourself. It shows your integrity in my opinion.
this was so needed. it reminds me of when Jesus went to the house with the 2 women and one was busy running around while the other was at his feet. and He told the busy woman (in so many words) that she had her priorities out of order. if our relationship with God isn't top priority it needs to be!
I want to thank you for adding in the part about mental and physical illness. I have struggled so badly in these areas and felt so overwhelmed with trying to keep up. Your thoughtful and gracious way of sharing truth today was a blessing.
That's very true, I was also fascinated, and so glad she mentioned it. It was very thoughtful and considerate and with wisdom. I was touched by that element.
This video was very timely for me. I'm currently 8 months pregnant so struggling to keep up physically with household chores. I felt quite convicted while listening that doesn't mean I would be spiritually lazy. I have increasingly started choosing social media and TV over my Bible study, prayer time and other things that would glorify God. Thank you for your honesty and direct approach to this topic x
I have adhd and pots syndrome ( autoimmune issue) its so hard to even physically and mentally get out of bed. I ordered a pdf cleaning schedule off of etsy for adhd and made sure I planned out the days based on our schedule. I was able to do it all even with my son feeling sick and now he has bacterial pneumonia. Please pray for my sons and and my daughter as they recover and that I get rest tonight 🙏 Shalom Yahweh bless you and keep you in Yeshua's name 🙏
We spend so much time taking care of THINGS. Some "laziness" is our spirit's exhaustion in dealing with this materialistic world. We are not meant to spend out days putting up things, organizing things, polishing things, repairing things, etc. We have become bogged down. Once in this trap, it is difficult to escape.
This was spot on Tabitha. I've lied to myself, I keep busy, and I'm not lazy by "man's standards" But spiritual laziness is where I'm still failing. Thank you for the conviction, i really feel God was speaking to me. I definitely need to pray more. I loved your tips for slipping in little prayer throughout the day. You've impacted me greatly over the years and it just keeps getting better.
What a blessing you are, very inspirational. I am a single male and that line about being a workaholic and still disappointing the Lord with spiritual laziness hit me hard. I don't know if this was in this video or another of yours that I was watching but it said maybe you just don't know, or weren't taught, but now you are an adult and you can learn. I am the type of person who has to know the ins and outs of everything or I get overwhelmed, like a form of perfectionism I think. And I get discouraged quickly and easily and give up when I don't know what type of cleaner I'm supposed to use or what the best item or tool is to use for a specific surface or material. And I end up falling short in the cleanliness department. I realized the other day I can treat this like any other area of life I am trying to get better at. I can study, I can watch videos, I can read books. For some reason I never realized I can do this for cleaning... it seems like something we're just supposed to know how to do. I want to get rid of this trait of being a sluggard. I really do wish a woman was able to keep the home while I worked as I feel like cleaning is a weak point of mine. But that is not how my cards played out. So I have to take initiative and get this area of my life together. Thank you for these videos, I am hoping they do a work in me.
THIS!!! I wish I would have had this message 20 years ago! I still have my ups and downs but praying away my bipolar disorder/eating disorder just was not working... instead God directed me towards recovery with doctors, treatments, medication and a sober life. God does not always answer prayers the way we want. I love how you address that it is our responsibility to seek help and I am even further blessed that when I start to struggle God and my husband give grace.
Thank you sister. I found out last year I was fighting depression and didn't know it. It was because of medication I was put on after my mom died that was supposed to keep me from being depressed. I still struggle with it and my anxiety but God is what helps me conquer it. One of my prayers was answered yesterday after 3 years of prayer. God doesn't always answer prayers when you want Him to. He answers them on His time. And I am blessed that you popped up in my recommendations. Take care sister and God bless you all ❤
I used to keep my home immaculate until my mom passed. I used to look down on others who didn't. Now I see there are many other reasons people are unable to organize their homes, lives, businesses ect. We need to help others not judge them & if it offends someone because they don't see the "chaos" at least you offered a hand instead of pointing a finger :).
I want you to know you have been a blessing to me I started watching just for back ground noise while I'm doing school work but God started talking or yelling as I refer to it bc he knows he's gotta draw the pic and color it in for me to understand. He has used you to answer so many questions. I want to thank you for doing what the Lord has called you to do please never let Satan get in your head and tell you nobody is watching bc we definitely are.
These videos have been so helpful for me. I’m an all or nothing type of person and I’m trying so hard to be a something is better than nothing so things get done little by little
Same. Yesterday I ordered a cleaning schedule list off of etsy. I left the smaller stuff for before and after shabbat, so I can still have a rest day. Really helpful 👌
"If your family doesn't appreciate what your doing, if the people around you aren't believers, you can rest assured that your God sees what you're doing and he is happy to have a relationship with you" ❤🥺 I have a 3 year old son, both of my parents have stage 4 cancer, and I've been in and out of hospitals for the past month. I've been struggling to maintain the house as a result, but I've truly been working so hard to clean and tidy up whenever I am home. Yet, my husband tells me "you do nothing around the house". It breaks my heart when he doesn't acknowledge the current season I'm in as well as how much work I still do around the house. He also isn't a believer. So what you said at the end brought me to tears. I'm so thankful for a living God who acknowledges the love I put into my family and home, even when my husband doesn't.
Bless your heart! I will be in prayer for you and your family. I know the pain of having a parent with a life threatening illness and the death of a parent, as well as the pain of having a critical husband. God sees it all and he knows your heart, effort and worth in his eyes. Focus your eyes on Jesus and he will lift you up. I'm so sorry for what you are going through and I will pray for God's approval to be enough so you can still show love and a contented spirit to your husband in the midst of criticism. ❤️
Hi, I just discovered your channel and I am so thankful! It seems you understand the very same issues I have and I too seek a close relationship with God and not having known many Catholics, I am surprised, how that as a Christian believer in the Baptist denomination we are so much alike! I am so glad just to hear someone speak and share the same things my heart is interested in! Thank you for motivating me even more in my relationship with the Lord and to bring Him honor as a homemaker!
I really loves these new videos. Not only are the motivational, but inspiring. They are calm and help me feel like I'm not a failure. I have fallen into a spiritual laziness. I have recently started going to church again. Trying to do what God wants me to do. Trying to become a better person. Thank you so much for making me feel better about myself. I love dresses too.
I am really finding your messgaes on laziness interesting yet challenging. I am really convicted! Since i started watching your homemaking videos and changing my mindset to "serving my family," it really has changed things. It helps me to be patient and stop complaining about all the things that i have to do as a wife and mother.
Your videos are so gracefully done and so gently but powerfully convicting. Thank you for your diligence and all the work you put in to pointing us to Him ! I love your channel so much Tabitha. 💕💕💕
I'm another one who appreciates the harsh words. Sometimes, we really need a wake-up call. Please don't feel like you have to walk on eggshells. At times, the truth hurts.
Thank you for sharing this Tabitha! I acknowledge I’ve been going through some spiritual laziness lately as our ministry fell apart due to the moral failure of some of our leaders. Thank you for your timely word today ❤.
I’m thankful for when you start your videos by saying that we should get up and do something while listening. I usually do and I’m thankful for the encouragement. 😊
Thank you so much for the beautiful encouragement. I listened on Sunday morning as I was getting ready for church. My house is clean but I was convicted that I neglected the Lord this week. 💔 thank God for grace!
I thank the Holy Spirit for His conviction and not condemnation! When I feel overwhelmed I say out loud, “This is NOT that hard! The devil is a liar. I can do this! With the help of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit!!” The truth is most things that feel overwhelming are not hard at all to do. I also make myself commit to doing something for 10 minutes. I’ll listen to a sermon or Christian music. Once I get started I often do more than 10 minutes but even if I don’t it’s amazing what you can get done in 10 minutes and you feel better for sure. I have chronic health problems that include fatigue, lightheadedness and dizziness. But I also find that on the days I have to get up and do something I do better. Thank you for your encouragement!! God bless!!
I am so thankful to see other women like myself who serve the Lord and diligently look after their homes and kids. I have a routine I do every week whether I feel to or not. Even when I don’t feel well I get up and try. It feels so good to have a clean and well organized home to be in. You create a space of love for others. This along with making time for God each day and in moments when you do work, gives a sense of peace and a continuous focus on why we are here on earth. Blessings
Thank you for this video. I’ve battled with depression and anxiety for so many years. I can remember having issues as a little girl. I am 55 now. I have been healed from Stage Two Esophageal Cancer. I have always had health problems. And I still do. I am so thankful to God that He healed me from cancer. I just pray that he will heal my mind of my mental issues. Also that He will heal my body of all my other health problems. I do pray and read my Bible. I really need help to stop being lazy about reading my Bible and going to church. I’m not giving Satan any glory but when I need to be going to church and reading my Bible more he makes me tired or sick. My prayers to God is that He will stop Satan from attacking me in these areas. Please pray for me. I really do appreciate all the prayers and support from you and all your other viewers. God bless you. And again, thank you for your video. It helps to know that I’m not alone. 🙏🏻❤️ I want to do what God wants and be who He wants me to be. 🙏🏻
Hi Tabitha, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos, I find them so inspiring. I also love coffee, dresses and watching my chickens, but God has unfortunately not blessed me with children. I live in south west England and it is touching to think we are the same in our beliefs even though we live so far apart. I eagerly await future videos, God bless x
I really needed to hear this and your previous video on laziness. I have been so motivated instead of just going through the motions of being a homemaker. 😊 thank you so much for sharing God's wisdom and word with us 🙏 ❤️ 💖
I thank you so much for these great reminders to be thankful and praise God for everything as I take on the mundane thankless tasks of homemaking. May God bless you abundantly and peace be with you.
Im So glad I found your podcast. You encourage me every time I watch you which has only been a couple of times. Thank you for your spiritual insight and wisdom.. May the Lord continue to bless you and inspire you.
Watched while I tidied up the kitchen and packed the kids lunches for camp. I continue to feel very encouraged in my vocation as a homemaker and working mom. The readings and message this week at Mass were so helpful, too. Laying your burdens on Jesus and taking us His yoke. Wow! As a mom who has to work FT outside the home and try to be a good homemaker, the struggle is real, but I CAN hand the struggle to Him. I just have to CHOOSE to do so and trust in Him. Between Mass yesterday and your video, I’m ready to lean into the Lord and tackle the week ahead with so much love and gratitude in my heart ❤
Such great ideas and wisdom to take to heart, Tabitha! I love your videos and look forward to them every Sunday! What a great start to think about for the week with God's word!🥰
I enjoy watching your videos. I like to use my time wisely, and I don't want to be known as a sloth. I try to be as productive as possible. I have arthritis, so some days I wake up feeling sore and achy. Although I may wake up feeling sore I don't allow that to slow me down. Again, thank you.
I work outside my home as well as inside my home and I dread going to work outside my home because I clean other peoples homes which means I don’t get a bunch of time to clean my own. I’ve been Doing a lot more than usual here lately since I discovered your blog. Your blog encourages me. Another thing is I’m driving around a lot with my job so I’m going through a ton of gas and putting wear and tear on our vehicles. One of them is broke down already. We had both. But thankfully we have one.
Your videos have been inspiring to me as a homemaker and mother to my infant son! I have been spiritually lazy and I feel that God is testing me. It has been exactly what I needed to hear lately. Where did you get that wall decor by your dining room table? It is such a nice piece!
Thank you for sharing this important message and God's word. Now that I have surrendered to Christ and washed clean by his blood, I can't even imagine a minute of life without him! Blessings!
Wow I needed this Sword of truth....it hurt so good... it just made me cry out to the Lord. Within a few days of stress, I had not read my Bible, and I usually do every morning and night. I got so discouraged and angry bc my husband wouldn't listen to me. I realized I was not hearing from God. Bc he said, "Do I ever fail you?" when you start speaking of laziness. Man will fail ...But her never does. Thank you , God definitely put you in my feed bc I have never watched your videos ever. Thank you... my husband walked in the kitchen and heard this video about laziness while I was eating my lunch at 3:30 pm. Please keep posting and reinforcing people's anchors for Christ. Christ is the anchor always, but you repaired a rusty link in my chain today. How can I pray for you, specifically? God truly bless you and your family.
Thank you for defining "sloth". I deal a lot with apathy, and i struggle with motivation. I have started watching cleaning videos to help with that, along with wanting to have a really nice place for my dear husband to come home to. You are wise beyond your years. Thank you again. ❤
I definitely believe that acknowledging God in our everyday lives, showing gratitude and even saying it out loud and thank God for what he's done, + slowing down in our every day lives are all big missing factors. Thank you for this video!
Hi , I was looking for some cleaning ideas and how to make house organize videos, then your video popped up and as your channel name is this Mama’s faith! I found the exactly same faith ( in motivations and encouraging us to be closer with God by reading bible and praying ) I was expected from this channel ! Thankyou for sharing word of God ! May God bless you and your family sister!
I've never thought of laziness that way before. I agree when I pray and study scriptures I feel closer to heavenly father and I feel him more his peace his love his understanding so much more than I can put into words. I pray everyday for the holy ghost to dwell in my house so I can hear him better so I can have peace. For a long time I didn't understand the true feeling of peace and now I'm beginning to understand it more and more. I'm not saying it's easy there are days I'm so exhausted I can hardly move and the pain in my body is so much that I don't want to move, that's when I get his strength and peace to continue on with my day. I thank heavenly father for your channel for your insight for your wisdom. Thank you karyann
Truly eye opening this reminds me of Mary and Martha and I must confess I been playing the Martha for a while now but not by choice for it would be wonderful to just sit down like Mary and leave all my cares to someone else in a perfect world perhaps, but this is food for thought, who knows I might just learned the art of being more like Mary and leave the cleaning to someone else, you know more relax with it.
Hello Tabitha!!! Your videos are so inspiring!!! I'm a lover of sweet tea, dresses and Jesus!!! Church is so important to me!! It is a way of life for me!!! I've been living for Jesus since I was 12. I can't imagine not attending church!!! Take care God bless !!!
I have a herniated disc and have been unable to do my normal routine for 3 months, it was driving me crazy. But God has taught me to let go, to let my family help me, to teach them more responsibility, to teach me more patience, contentment, and appreciation of my family.
Believe i was just going through youtube and watching the fsncy homes and decor and i thought about seeing more Godly channels. Then i said LORD if it don't please you i dont want it. And here u popped right up. JESUS CHRIST bless you sister
U are a catholic but the way u portray exactly like a Protestant😮. I m shocked the amount of wisdom n revelation u have in each word. N have learnt a lot from you . God bless😊
I want to encourage those who are retired. I retired during Covid from teaching. At the same time I bought a home and moved. I have no family here and I was physically and emotionally exhausted. Listen to your body without condemnation, take a nap, and tackle something where you can see the biggest difference. Take one room at a time and then reward yourself by taking a walk or talking with a friend. Buy a new magazine to get inspired and of course keep your time with the Lord!
Sat down to fold some laundry that I put off for a few days. Turned on TH-cam so I could listen to something and came across your video! Glad I did ☺️ nice to meet you!
This is my first time watching your content, I have to say I cried many times throughout this video from conviction, thank you! I’m thankful Jesus gave me such a malleable heart. I hope today you are encouraged about the gifts God has given you.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I must confess that I have been lazy in prayer. I need to connect more with God. Thank you for letting God use you to bring this message.
I am so grateful for this video. Thank you for keeping it real with us! Also, I was trying to figure out why your dress looked so familiar. I actually have the same dress! Got a love, Old Navy! Thanks again for this wonderful video. Definitely subscribing!
Your videos are so encouraging. Thank you for adding in about physical and mental issues that can effect our productivity. Could you touch more on how you treat your adhd naturally? Ty
Your videos are quite refreshing and a tad shocking I myself was raised up traditional Roman Catholic and I never heard a Catholic speak about Jesus and as much about Jesus as you do which is wonderful We were not even allowed to see the Bible much less read it I am no longer a traditional Roman Catholic as I was born again by grace through faith in Jesus Christ back in 2010 when I believed the gospel which is the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ I do hope and pray that you are saved also!
Thank you for sharing. I’d love to know whether on this channel, your other channel or anywhere how you healed your chronic pain, if you’re comfortable sharing it. I have several chronic pain disorders and am struggling with it.
I love your videos ❤ …. I work aswell as try and care for my son and husband and keep a lovely home … it’s so difficult but I love creating a beautiful space for my family and filling it with gods love and presence 🙏🏻
I very much enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. If you ever felt up to it, I would love to hear how you healed yourself naturally from depression, tips for how you handle ADHD, and, if you have any advice as well on managing/dealing with Mom guilt. How do you deal with Mom guilt, devotions, still get done all of the homemaking tasks that need to be done, as well as having time for husband and kids. I know it’s all a balance, but with 3, 3 and under, I’m struggling. 😊
I enjoyed both of your videos on the topic of laziness. I love the way you shared your struggles and that you are not perfect. When you mentioned that you treat your ADHD naturally, what do you use and take naturally? And the others you have mentioned. Hope you can share how you treat yourself naturally. God continue blessing you in what he has called you to do and encouraging, us homemakers.
Your videos are so calming and uplifting. You have a beautiful home. I’m intrigued…what are your little ones doing while you make the videos? I have an 18 month old who is like my shadow and his favourite thing is to ‘unfold’ folded laundry and run after my vacuum cleaner shouting ‘hooooovvver’ and getting annoyed if he doesn’t get to push it 🙈 I am a new Christian also and definitely needed to hear about praying more! God bless you for these inspiring videos x
Thank you for this video. I suffer with pain and exhaustion thanks to having fibromyalgia. I also struggle with depression. Yet sometimes I'm not sure if my non attendance at holy Mass is due to these reason or if it is sloth. And at times I worry if it is because I've somehow given my attention to negative forces rather than the Lord. I understand I need to figure out what's truly behind my choices and decisions. I don't know what I can do to remedy the situation apart from prayer and confession. Any advice or suggestions?
Wow! I just found your channel.. The enemy has been hitting my family so hard. Your channel came at the right time. I was getting far away from the LORD. The ememy swnt a narcissist imto my life that almost destroyed me. GOD bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@ThisMamasFaith Thank you. Ever since I found your channel it gives me strength, and it reminds me of who I am. I am a child of GOD🙏🙏🙏 GOD bless you and your family.
I have ADHD. I can tell you if I don't have a prioritized list, I don't get anything done. Morning routine: Have coffee and make my list for the day. I pick three things with highest priority. Once these things are checked off, I find myself at the end of a day with a completed list.
I came to this video thinking it would counsel me or provide some sort of reassurance on how I’ve been feeling about a close friend of mine. She seems so neglectful, lazy and sloth-like.

I really loves these new videos. Not only are the motivational, but inspiring. They are calm and help me feel like I'm not a failure. I have fallen into a spiritual laziness. I have recently started going to church again. Trying to do what God wants me to do. Trying to become a better person. Thank you so much for making me feel better about myself. I love dresses too.
I’m so glad they are helping you!! 💞 thank you for the support and the encouragement
I am really finding your messgaes on laziness interesting yet challenging. I am really convicted! Since i started watching your homemaking videos and changing my mindset to "serving my family," it really has changed things. It helps me to be patient and stop complaining about all the things that i have to do as a wife and mother.
🥹🙌🏼 I’m so glad it’s making a difference!!
Your videos are so gracefully done and so gently but powerfully convicting. Thank you for your diligence and all the work you put in to pointing us to Him ! I love your channel so much Tabitha. 💕💕💕
Thank you for the encouragement
I'm another one who appreciates the harsh words. Sometimes, we really need a wake-up call. Please don't feel like you have to walk on eggshells. At times, the truth hurts.
Thank you for sharing this Tabitha! I acknowledge I’ve been going through some spiritual laziness lately as our ministry fell apart due to the moral failure of some of our leaders. Thank you for your timely word today ❤.
I’m thankful for when you start your videos by saying that we should get up and do something while listening. I usually do and I’m thankful for the encouragement. 😊
Thank you so much for the beautiful encouragement. I listened on Sunday morning as I was getting ready for church. My house is clean but I was convicted that I neglected the Lord this week. 💔 thank God for grace!
This video has much wisdom, and hard truths. Thank you for following God’s nudge and providing good helpful and wholesome reminders for us!
I thank the Holy Spirit for His conviction and not condemnation! When I feel overwhelmed I say out loud, “This is NOT that hard! The devil is a liar. I can do this! With the help of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit!!” The truth is most things that feel overwhelming are not hard at all to do. I also make myself commit to doing something for 10 minutes. I’ll listen to a sermon or Christian music. Once I get started I often do more than 10 minutes but even if I don’t it’s amazing what you can get done in 10 minutes and you feel better for sure. I have chronic health problems that include fatigue, lightheadedness and dizziness. But I also find that on the days I have to get up and do something I do better. Thank you for your encouragement!! God bless!!
I am so thankful to see other women like myself who serve the Lord and diligently look after their homes and kids. I have a routine I do every week whether I feel to or not. Even when I don’t feel well I get up and try. It feels so good to have a clean and well organized home to be in. You create a space of love for others. This along with making time for God each day and in moments when you do work, gives a sense of peace and a continuous focus on why we are here on earth. Blessings
I agree so much! Routine and focus on God gives so much peace
Thank you Tabitha for blessing us with your words of wisdom. They so helped me this morning as I went about my home doing my daily tasks!
Thank you for this video. I’ve battled with depression and anxiety for so many years. I can remember having issues as a little girl. I am 55 now. I have been healed from Stage Two Esophageal Cancer. I have always had health problems. And I still do. I am so thankful to God that He healed me from cancer. I just pray that he will heal my mind of my mental issues. Also that He will heal my body of all my other health problems. I do pray and read my Bible. I really need help to stop being lazy about reading my Bible and going to church. I’m not giving Satan any glory but when I need to be going to church and reading my Bible more he makes me tired or sick. My prayers to God is that He will stop Satan from attacking me in these areas. Please pray for me. I really do appreciate all the prayers and support from you and all your other viewers. God bless you. And again, thank you for your video. It helps to know that I’m not alone. 🙏🏻❤️
I want to do what God wants and be who He wants me to be. 🙏🏻
Hi Tabitha, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos, I find them so inspiring. I also love coffee, dresses and watching my chickens, but God has unfortunately not blessed me with children. I live in south west England and it is touching to think we are the same in our beliefs even though we live so far apart. I eagerly await future videos, God bless x
I really needed to hear this and your previous video on laziness. I have been so motivated instead of just going through the motions of being a homemaker. 😊 thank you so much for sharing God's wisdom and word with us 🙏 ❤️ 💖
I thank you so much for these great reminders to be thankful and praise God for everything as I take on the mundane thankless tasks of homemaking. May God bless you abundantly and peace be with you.
I love the reminder of what God expects from us and how we need to obey. Weather it be spiritual or physical. Thank you
I've been looking for something to snap me back. And I'm glad I had the last video suggested to me. Because I needed to hear this too. ❤
Im So glad I found your podcast. You encourage me every time I watch you which has only been a couple of times. Thank you for your spiritual insight and wisdom.. May the Lord continue to bless you and inspire you.
Timely word, thank you so much for your courage to say things that may be unpopular but true. Bless you and your family!
Thank you so much!
Watched while I tidied up the kitchen and packed the kids lunches for camp. I continue to feel very encouraged in my vocation as a homemaker and working mom.
The readings and message this week at Mass were so helpful, too. Laying your burdens on Jesus and taking us His yoke. Wow! As a mom who has to work FT outside the home and try to be a good homemaker, the struggle is real, but I CAN hand the struggle to Him. I just have to CHOOSE to do so and trust in Him.
Between Mass yesterday and your video, I’m ready to lean into the Lord and tackle the week ahead with so much love and gratitude in my heart ❤
You’re amazing!!! I’m so glad you’re feeling encouraged!!
Such great ideas and wisdom to take to heart, Tabitha! I love your videos and look forward to them every Sunday! What a great start to think about for the week with God's word!🥰
So glad you like the videos. It’s a joy making them!!
I enjoy watching your videos. I like to use my time wisely, and I don't want to be known as a sloth. I try to be as productive as possible. I have arthritis, so some days I wake up feeling sore and achy. Although I may wake up feeling sore I don't allow that to slow me down. Again, thank you.
I work outside my home as well as inside my home and I dread going to work outside my home because I clean other peoples homes which means I don’t get a bunch of time to clean my own. I’ve been Doing a lot more than usual here lately since I discovered your blog. Your blog encourages me. Another thing is I’m driving around a lot with my job so I’m going through a ton of gas and putting wear and tear on our vehicles. One of them is broke down already. We had both. But thankfully we have one.
Thank you for this wonderful video and your reminders that we should always strive to do better. 💗
Your videos have been inspiring to me as a homemaker and mother to my infant son! I have been spiritually lazy and I feel that God is testing me. It has been exactly what I needed to hear lately. Where did you get that wall decor by your dining room table? It is such a nice piece!
Thank you for sharing this important message and God's word. Now that I have surrendered to Christ and washed clean by his blood, I can't even imagine a minute of life without him! Blessings!
Wow I needed this Sword of truth....it hurt so good... it just made me cry out to the Lord. Within a few days of stress, I had not read my Bible, and I usually do every morning and night. I got so discouraged and angry bc my husband wouldn't listen to me. I realized I was not hearing from God. Bc he said, "Do I ever fail you?" when you start speaking of laziness. Man will fail ...But her never does. Thank you , God definitely put you in my feed bc I have never watched your videos ever. Thank you... my husband walked in the kitchen and heard this video about laziness while I was eating my lunch at 3:30 pm. Please keep posting and reinforcing people's anchors for Christ. Christ is the anchor always, but you repaired a rusty link in my chain today. How can I pray for you, specifically? God truly bless you and your family.
Thank you so much for your encouragement!!!
Thank you for defining "sloth".
I deal a lot with apathy, and i struggle with motivation.
I have started watching cleaning videos to help with that, along with wanting to have a really nice place for my dear husband to come home to.
You are wise beyond your years.
Thank you again. ❤
Yes. I am truly blessed to watch you work and hear the apt scripture promises. God bless You Tabitha🎉
I definitely believe that acknowledging God in our everyday lives, showing gratitude and even saying it out loud and thank God for what he's done, + slowing down in our every day lives are all big missing factors. Thank you for this video!
Absolutely!! Well said
Thank you, i can’t wait fr your video every week. May the Lord bless you and your family
Hi , I was looking for some cleaning ideas and how to make house organize videos, then your video popped up and as your channel name is this Mama’s faith! I found the exactly same faith ( in motivations and encouraging us to be closer with God by reading bible and praying ) I was expected from this channel ! Thankyou for sharing word of God ! May God bless you and your family sister!
I've never thought of laziness that way before. I agree when I pray and study scriptures I feel closer to heavenly father and I feel him more his peace his love his understanding so much more than I can put into words. I pray everyday for the holy ghost to dwell in my house so I can hear him better so I can have peace. For a long time I didn't understand the true feeling of peace and now I'm beginning to understand it more and more. I'm not saying it's easy there are days I'm so exhausted I can hardly move and the pain in my body is so much that I don't want to move, that's when I get his strength and peace to continue on with my day. I thank heavenly father for your channel for your insight for your wisdom. Thank you karyann
Enjoyed your message 😊thanks for taking the time to remind us to be thankful
For what we have and how even in our house keeping we honor God
I’m glad you enjoyed!
Truly eye opening this reminds me of Mary and Martha and I must confess I been playing the Martha for a while now but not by choice for it would be wonderful to just sit down like Mary and leave all my cares to someone else in a perfect world perhaps, but this is food for thought, who knows I might just learned the art of being more like Mary and leave the cleaning to someone else, you know more relax with it.
So glad I found your channel ❤️- love how you stress the importance of Sunday mass attendance
Hello Tabitha!!! Your videos are so inspiring!!! I'm a lover of sweet tea, dresses and Jesus!!! Church is so important to me!! It is a way of life for me!!! I've been living for Jesus since I was 12. I can't imagine not attending church!!! Take care God bless !!!
I have a herniated disc and have been unable to do my normal routine for 3 months, it was driving me crazy. But God has taught me to let go, to let my family help me, to teach them more responsibility, to teach me more patience, contentment, and appreciation of my family.
I live in a home of non believers thank you for that sentence you just said that makes me feel better because I had given up on my home.
You are a huge inspiration to me. I love how your videos push me to be a better homemaker. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Believe i was just going through youtube and watching the fsncy homes and decor and i thought about seeing more Godly channels. Then i said LORD if it don't please you i dont want it. And here u popped right up. JESUS CHRIST bless you sister
I just found your videos. Probably because my last video is a cleaning video, so yours started to pop up for me! I love what you speak.
U are a catholic but the way u portray exactly like a Protestant😮. I m shocked the amount of wisdom n revelation u have in each word. N have learnt a lot from you . God bless😊
Wow. God really said FOR YOU with this video. I’m literally in awe.
I want to encourage those who are retired. I retired during Covid from teaching. At the same time I bought a home and moved. I have no family here and I was physically and emotionally exhausted. Listen to your body without condemnation, take a nap, and tackle something where you can see the biggest difference. Take one room at a time and then reward yourself by taking a walk or talking with a friend. Buy a new magazine to get inspired and of course keep your time with the Lord!
Sat down to fold some laundry that I put off for a few days. Turned on TH-cam so I could listen to something and came across your video! Glad I did ☺️ nice to meet you!
I’m glad you’re here too! Thanks for watching 💞
This is my first time watching your content, I have to say I cried many times throughout this video from conviction, thank you! I’m thankful Jesus gave me such a malleable heart. I hope today you are encouraged about the gifts God has given you.
🥹🙌🏼🙏🏼💞 thank you for watching! I’m so glad you’re here
Thank you for speaking the truth even when it is a difficult topic❤.
I found you through the first laziness video and was convicted. Thank you for all that you do. ❤
So glad you found my channel. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this wonderful video. I must confess that I have been lazy in prayer. I need to connect more with God. Thank you for letting God use you to bring this message.
Thank you for lifting me up I need this going threw some hard times.
I am so grateful for this video. Thank you for keeping it real with us! Also, I was trying to figure out why your dress looked so familiar. I actually have the same dress! Got a love, Old Navy! Thanks again for this wonderful video. Definitely subscribing!
Your videos are so encouraging. Thank you for adding in about physical and mental issues that can effect our productivity. Could you touch more on how you treat your adhd naturally? Ty
Your videos are quite refreshing and a tad shocking I myself was raised up traditional Roman Catholic and I never heard a Catholic speak about Jesus and as much about Jesus as you do which is wonderful
We were not even allowed to see the Bible much less read it
I am no longer a traditional Roman Catholic as I was born again by grace through faith in Jesus Christ back in 2010 when I believed the gospel which is the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ
I do hope and pray that you are saved also!
I’m glad I can break that stereotype for you that Catholics don’t talk about Jesus and read the Bible 😆
Thank you for watching!
I came across this video and you are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing this with us. It is truly a huge help. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Tabitha. Im in deep thought today after watching your video, and the last one. What a beautiful home you have.
Wonderful!
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing. I’d love to know whether on this channel, your other channel or anywhere how you healed your chronic pain, if you’re comfortable sharing it. I have several chronic pain disorders and am struggling with it.
You are helping me so much with your videos ❤thank you x Our God is truly using you to help and encourage us ❤
Thanks be to God!!!
I love your videos ❤ …. I work aswell as try and care for my son and husband and keep a lovely home … it’s so difficult but I love creating a beautiful space for my family and filling it with gods love and presence 🙏🏻
It sounds so hard to do so much but it’s amazing that you care enough to create a peaceful space for your family 💞
Tabitha your home is so gorgeous. What a blessing. You are certainly a very privileged lady.
Thank you! We’ve worked very hard to be here! It’s such a blessing
I very much enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. If you ever felt up to it, I would love to hear how you healed yourself naturally from depression, tips for how you handle ADHD, and, if you have any advice as well on managing/dealing with Mom guilt. How do you deal with Mom guilt, devotions, still get done all of the homemaking tasks that need to be done, as well as having time for husband and kids. I know it’s all a balance, but with 3, 3 and under, I’m struggling. 😊
Good day everyone and blessings, I also suffer from ADD and I understand the struggle. Much love dear.
Thank you for sharing your struggles and giving a truth in love message!
You are so welcome!
I love this video, I am a new subscriber. Thanks for making it clear what sloth was, I always thought it was physical laziness.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your encouragement.
You have beautiful views from your window. 😊
I enjoyed both of your videos on the topic of laziness. I love the way you shared your struggles and that you are not perfect. When you mentioned that you treat your ADHD naturally, what do you use and take naturally? And the others you have mentioned. Hope you can share how you treat yourself naturally. God continue blessing you in what he has called you to do and encouraging, us homemakers.
Your videos are so calming and uplifting. You have a beautiful home. I’m intrigued…what are your little ones doing while you make the videos? I have an 18 month old who is like my shadow and his favourite thing is to ‘unfold’ folded laundry and run after my vacuum cleaner shouting ‘hooooovvver’ and getting annoyed if he doesn’t get to push it 🙈 I am a new Christian also and definitely needed to hear about praying more! God bless you for these inspiring videos x
Most of my children are playing or helping clean. The younger ones are just out of cameras view and often I edit clips out when they appear in fram
I love this video. I needed to hear it. ❤️ also, your dining table is so beautiful!
Thank you so much 🤗 I love it too! It was such a good find
Beautiful vlog. Am encouraged. God bless you dear. Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭, West Africa
Your home is beautiful. Love the dining room window view 😊.
Thanks so much! 😊 I love it here
Thank you ❤
Do you have any tips for how to start reading the Bible?
You have a beautiful way of talking.
That’s me I needed to hear this more and more 🙏🏽❤️
I love your basket wall decor. Did you make it? I may copy. ❤❤
😊 thank you! I love it too. Yes! I got most of them on Facebook market place!
Thank you so much for your faithfulness to God and making this video. Touched my heart.
Thank you for this video. I suffer with pain and exhaustion thanks to having fibromyalgia. I also struggle with depression. Yet sometimes I'm not sure if my non attendance at holy Mass is due to these reason or if it is sloth. And at times I worry if it is because I've somehow given my attention to negative forces rather than the Lord. I understand I need to figure out what's truly behind my choices and decisions. I don't know what I can do to remedy the situation apart from prayer and confession. Any advice or suggestions?
I love these videos by you. Ty so much…very inspiring! ❤
Glad you like them!
Wow! I just found your channel.. The enemy has been hitting my family so hard. Your channel came at the right time. I was getting far away from the LORD. The ememy swnt a narcissist imto my life that almost destroyed me. GOD bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with a narcissistic person. I understand the havoc that wreaks in a persons life! Praying for you
@@ThisMamasFaith Thank you. Ever since I found your channel it gives me strength, and it reminds me of who I am. I am a child of GOD🙏🙏🙏 GOD bless you and your family.
I love the view from your dining room. What a wonderful wood❤
Me too! Thank you
Just found your channel. I love your honesty. It's brave in this world ❤
Thank you so much!
@@ThisMamasFaith you're welcome
I would LOVE a video on how you deal with your ADHD naturally! Thank you so much for this video! It was convicting but that’s good!
I have ADHD. I can tell you if I don't have a prioritized list, I don't get anything done.
Morning routine: Have coffee and make my list for the day. I pick three things with highest priority. Once these things are checked off, I find myself at the end of a day with a completed list.
So encouraging- I just love your channel. thank you beauty ❤
You are so welcome
So encouraging thank you! 👏🏼❤️
