Really appreciate this. I’m often looked down upon by my friends for staying home with my kids and not having a traditional paying job. I know I’m called to be home and raise them.
I work 40 hours a week outside my home and I would much rather use those 40 hours for productivity for my family and our home than for a corporation. I have the most esteemed respect for women who stay home raising their children well, if more families could do this the world would be better off. Don’t worry what your “friends” think when God is smiling on you.
That’s good you understand God’s calling on your life for this. It’s really simple, if we sow into the Holy Spirit, we will reap eternal life. Learning to deny the lust of the flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit is the best way to live, even when you have a commitment with your family.
Being a Homemaker is a blessing. Don't worry what they say. I pray one day I can become a Homemaker. I would rather spend more time with my family and serve God.
Love this. The Lord spoke to me while at my friends house. We were listening to worship music, she was holding her baby, and I was admiring her homemade Christmas decorations. God said “Tell her, that her taking care of her home and children, is worship to me.” She lost it. I think as a new Christian, she really needed to hear that 💖
I’m a mama of two special needs kids and there was a time where my son got surgery and I was doing the best I could with the situation that I was in. I would put him in a walker so that he wouldn’t hurt his wound. I also felt guilty because I wasn’t able to work outside the home. My son had a day nurse during that time and she was super sweet and loving with my son and myself. She was Christian too. We had a visit from the occupational therapist and physical therapist saying that if I kept putting my son in a walker he wouldn’t be able to walk at all and it would be my fault. My nurse told me before she left I can’t leave without saying this “you are doing the best you can with the situation you are in. you are a good mom and don’t let someone that only sees him for an hour judge you when they have no clue what you deal with on a daily basis.” I know God was talking through her. My work in the home is worship to God. Even if my husband or anyone else appreciates it God sees it and he won’t forget. My son is now healthy and running/climbing like any normal 4 yr old! I did what I could and God’s grace covered the rest. Im thankful she didn’t leave that day without telling me.
When my kids were young I was a homemaker now I’m just blessed to have a job where I can help my husband financially and enjoy working outside of the home and still take care of my home and be there for my adult children.
After listening church sermons on Sunday feel more blessed to watch this video again..I'm a full time homemaker where I feel so down to open mouth to tell everyone that I'm a homemaker because too many negative people commented on me since I got no choice to leave my job for my husband and kid. I came across many depressions and comparisons in between family and relatives but i belive God still encouraging me through this video thanks thabitha sis..praying to god for you..through you God speaks to me. I should be proud to be a homemaker as this is His calling for me. God bless 🙏 😊
Oh my sis don’t ever feel down because that’s the most valuable job. I wish I was able to do it but praise God I do my best to keep up with both. Thanks God for my sister she willingly helped to watch my boy while I work in my own house and then I come back from work and take care of them and do my house chores as well But NoThing better the be able to take care of your home You are beyond Blessed!❤️
@rocyruiz5064 thanks for ur encouraging words sis😢😇 very rare nowadays to find for encouraging people to help give advices and to support each other to build God's family together..u did that for me..May god bless the work of ur hands and may he keep guiding u n ur family to do his will..gbu always🥰🥰🙏🏻😇😇😇
I'm glad God has allowed me to meet your channel😊 I'm 17 years old and in school I was always asked about what I wanted to be, so I always thought I needed to have a lot of money, and be independent, be attractive etc, so, as I get older more I realize that it is going to be so hard to do it on my own, to be independent and do everything all by myself, it would not make me happy, I feel so overwhelmed when I'm in a place where there's a lot of people, and I feel like everyone is just trying to be better than others, so I don't want to be in a competition for the rest of my life, I just want to be free, to live a quiet life in my own, I want to live for His honor, not for the applause of man, btw your channel is like an inspiration for me, I hope I can be a proverbs 31 woman when I get older, I hope I can honor Him in everything I do, because ( Ecclesiastes 1:14 NIV) [14] I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
This video has blessed me so much. I’m preparing myself for marriage and motherhood in a Godly way without any women to look up to in real life. I won’t tell my whole story, but before I was saved let’s just say I was a rebellious leftist stereotype with all the trimmings, I’ve become much softer but I still have so far to go in my knowledge. As a woman with this kind of history, trauma and a mental illness with no family guidance, I don’t think I’ll ever measure up. Every day all I see is my failures and mistakes. I try my best but always end up making mistakes. I look at beautiful, Proverbs 31 women like yourself and don’t feel I’ll ever measure up. The harder I try the more I realise how far I have to go. My biggest struggle is controlling what I think and say, especially having bipolar, a lack of impulse control makes it so hard. I wasn’t socialised properly up until adulthood, so I’ve spent years learning basic human communication. I always have good intentions but people misinterpret my words and see the worst in me. I was raised in a cult family and wasn’t allowed to speak. There is so much pressure to say and do the right things all the time and I am just not equipped. I walk away from social interactions with embarrassment all the time. I’ve stopped socialising because of the pressure. I’ve been wondering lately what grace does God lend to those with disabilities, and where do we fit? I read in a forum online that people with mental illness should choose to be alone forever because we are a burden. The pastor at my church says that we must hold ourself to God’s standards, he won’t lower them for us. I love God’s standards but I can’t live up to them because having sever mental illness is a daily struggle. I always try my best and will continue to try my best to improve every day. I don’t know where I fit as a woman who wants to be a wife, mother and homemaker but an imperfect version. Has anyone else dealt with any of these concerns or challenges? I see so many amazing Godly women on TH-cam that make it look so easy, so graceful and poised. Thank you
I am sending you the biggest hug, it is so difficult especially when we compare ourselves to other women without the added pressures of our brains being differently wired, and there is no way to live up to God, if you spend your life trying to do that you will always feel like a failure, I spend my days being kind, doing my best when I can and on days where I can’t accepting that that is ok. Women are cyclical beings, we have times in our cycles where we need more rest, we have times when we have more energy, and men, no matter who they are or how great they are, can’t expect us to be like them. Give yourself a break, I am sure you are wonderful just as you are.
@@DottyDelightful Aww, thank you so much for your kind, thoughtful and heartfelt response. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share that. I will come back to your comment to remind myself to give myself grace. ❤️
Honey, that pastor is only half right. Yes, God has high standards and He can't lower them because He is a just God, but He also knows we can't meet them, that's why we need Jesus! Jesus died for us and His blood covers us. So when God looks at us, He sees Jesus's blood and He finds us faultless! As a woman struggling with childhood trauma and anxiety and depression I struggle to believe God accepts me as I am while also being a God of justice. But He is both! He is holy but He made a way for us to connect with Him through Jesus BECAUSE He loves us and wants to be with us. Jesus died for each of us as if we were the only ones on the planet, even the ones who would spit in His face. And because He died for us, we do not have to earn His approval. We already have it! Just building a relationship with Him will change you, you will want to please Him and automatically produce fruit! You don't have to strive to be what everyone else considers a good woman. Let that be between you and God! This standard is not a bad standard but it is a man made one. And I guarantee the graceful and poised woman of God is either not showing the down sides or she has been with God a long time and done a lot of hard growing. Please go easy on yourself and just focus on Him, know you are already loved and accepted by Him, and let Him help you grow and heal. Also, the people in that forum do not represent God, nor do they represent a lot of people in the world, it's just one ugly forum, please do not listen to them. People with mental illnesses have worth and they have a place and a purpose. The Bible says God has no favorites, which means God loves both the mentally well and the mentally unwell and He sees our hearts. Everyone's journey is different, the mental illness journey may just be a little slower but it's a worthwhile journey
@@redhead911126 Thank you immensely for your comment. I really needed to read this. As I grow and mature my awareness of my faults becomes more acute and I’ve hated myself more and more with each passing day because I can’t be perfect, as much as I try. Reading your comment made some tears well up in my eyes. ❤️
I've been listening to these while feeding my 3 week old first child. So much homemaking content focuses on toxic productivity and its so difficult to still feel worthy as a homemaker in these slower seasons. God is truly working through this content. ❤
Hi Tabitha! Just wanted to let you know that your videos inspire me to get more done in my home and with my kids. Also they inspire me to try to be a better wife and mother. Please keep them coming! Hope you (and any of you reading this) have a blessed day.
Hello from Austria! 🤗I just want to say Thank you!!!🙏 I get so easily influenced the false way. So thank you for your content, the world needs this more then ever! ❤
I found this on accident and it is exactly what the doctor ordered. I love your content and it is very motivating. I found you at the right time and I needed this today. Thank you so much.
I didnt know i needed to hear all this..ive read proverbs 31 so many times but the way you explain it so simple, reallity hit me to fix up lol thank you ❤
Maybe the greatest way to bring glory to Christ is to love our husbands. I really think this ministry is one of the most relevant in our world today.....
I am so glad you are back! I’ve been watching your other channel in the meantime. Hearing gods words through you, and one other TH-cam home maker, has been soothing and helped me transition this year. Last year I was in a dark area. I could not find happiness and it was all around me. I thank god for my imperfectly perfect home. I thank god for my boys as they go through their individual journeys. Everything I had prayed five years ago for everything currently surrounding me and I had been so blind from feeling overwhelmed and lost. Thank you.
I feel so stupid and worthless. I started watching your videos to try and be a better homemaker, because I am not good at it. Honestly I'm not good at anything. I was raised by a single mom, my dad was a slackoff and my whole life I've listened how men are worthless and abusive. And want us as maids only. Now I have a good husband. He is a Godsend. But I suck at being a good wife. I've become depressed after birth, only now I'm slowly waking up. I've found God only lately and I can't help but feel cheated out of so many years... I fight with my own pride daily and fail. I wish I had your wisdom. I'm trying but today is a day where I feel like I've failed. My husband, my children. My Lord. And me. I hope I will become at least in part as good of a woman as you. Thank you for what you do.
As an older woman (66) and I can tell you it’s a process and takes a lifetime. Give yourself the grace God gives. If you weren’t taught you can’t expect yourself to excel. You can learn by being around other godly women. Never take criticism or flattery to heart. Both will bring pride or shame. Do the best you know how, but try to eat the elephant of excellence one tiny bite at a time. Ask God daily to direct your steps, then lean heavily into trusting Him. He gently leads women. Yes, the adversary stole many years of your life, but those years, those tests, will be your testimony as you mature. God redeems the years the locust and cankerworm consumes. He will redeem those years for you. Ask Him! Every good and perfect gift comes from God to His children. Everything that steals from you, kills you or your joy and destroys comes from the adversary. He’s a deceiver. Don’t ever trust the Father of lies. Those negative thoughts in your head come from demons assigned to you. Every time they speak negativity say, “that isn’t my thought, leave now in Jesus’ name”. NEVER compare. Comparison is the thief of joy and hope. You are ONE OF A KIND. it’s like comparing the Mona Lisa to a Picasso. Which one is better? God has put gifts and talents in you that no one else has. They have to be developed as you trust Him. You are fearfully and wonderfully designed. Consider this: if you have a baby, would you expect her to be able to read as well as you? Would you demand she scrub the kitchen like a pro? You are a babe in Christ. If you can wash a dish you have a skill. Wash it like you’re washing for Jesus. If you can fold a towel, fold it like you’re folding it for the Lord. The more you do this, the better you will be at all your skills. Always give a bit more, do a bit better. God loves you just as you are, where you are. Delight yourself in Him, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Be encouraged. Nana Cherry
This video really made me realize I’m doing well as a new homemaker. I’ve been really struggling with it since I’m not making very much of an income right now (I make a tiny bit from TH-cam but it’s truly pennies). Thank you for this.
Please make more of these!! I got so much done for my family and to glorify God with my home while listening to this. It was such a peaceful joyful time.
Thank you so much ❤ Regards from an orthodox Christian from Greece! this is the most beautiful video ive ever seen in homemaking made me realise a lot of my mistakes! Thank you so mush I wish God blesses you with all my heart! It almost made me cry! I feel like homemaking its not the best thing ever but after watching this video it made me realise how important for all and gloryfing to God is! This video made me wanting to make a family again! Im 24 but the last years after all the divirces I see and everything of todays world Im so afraid and thoughtful on wanting a family! Thank you so much God bless you and your fam !you are far precious than jewels 💎❤Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful day with us. I was able to work alongside you while listening and learning more about the Proverbs 31 woman who honestly always made me feel less than. 😢 My perspective on her has changed thanks to you sharing your Bible study. Praise God! I work from home and sometimes neglect my homemaker tasks. You've encouraged me to get going on those tasks early so I don't procrastinate, and I know my future self will be so grateful. Have a blessed day, and thank you again! You made a difference in my life today. 💖🌹🙏
I find your videos very comforting, as well as motivating. They encourage me to stop thinking negatively about myself because I’m unable to keep up with my housework as a 70 year old wife. I’m decluttering, & bringing order to specific areas of my home each week or as I can, such as my closet. I know decluttering comes before organizing, but I find encouragement from organizing after I declutter that one area. Otherwise my entire house gets worse before it gets better. I have so much I want to do, but run out of energy & have a lot of back & shoulder pain. Plus, I’m a musician who writes worship music to God. That takes time too. Prayers please. TY for your videos.
The thing about the Proverbs 31 woman is that she is a woman with an entire life span. She could be feeding her children when they are young, and making money when they are older. She could be choosing fields in one season, and then making clothes and clothing her family in the next. Anything sounds like a lot of work, but each day can have a different activity. She did not do all these things at once and was not expected to. The span of time is definitely worth considering
I love the long video. ❤ I love to watch though while also doing things. The Holy Spirit really speaks through you and gives you beautiful insight to share. I've loved watching your channel grow. It's well deserved! ❤
I’ve really been enjoying your videos and my husband and I who have been Protestant for 10 years are converting to Catholicism so thank you for your witness! God bless you ❤
I just listened to this video while bustling about my own home. Thank you for sharing. ☺️ I might try your phone in the bathroom idea as I have a difficult time getting up before my early rising kids. Love the soft music choice for this too-it made my chores enjoyable while listening to His Word and truth. Blessings!
I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing. I don’t feel so bad now that I not the woman in this chapter. I realize that I need to work on beefing a better wife. My children are grown up and not at home. I would enjoy hearing about how to be a better wife that glorifies God .
I’m so happy to find your channel, thank you for your content, for me is very relaxing and also edifying, you are such a blessing for many people. Thank you for spread your knowledge and be a light in this world!🙏🙏
I wanna thank you for being a very inpirational example to me. You really motivate me to care for my home and family! And do it with love and appreciate my position in the home, since I'm a stay at home mom. God bless you for what you do hun!! ❤I also love the Bible study you do😍
I have a genuine question or two I should say. What if you would love to be a daughter of Christ and serve your family well but your husband is ungrateful of what you provide and down plays everything. What if You have tried to make genuine friendships but people are not are pure as they once were and everyone seems to take advantage of your kindness for their own personal gain. How do we go about these two situations when we are trying to live a slow meaningful life?
Pray for your husband. Keep doing what you are doing. Do it for the Lord. In regards to people, I learned to worry about myself and my families needs. If people are not asking for help, dont help them. If they need you, they will humble themselves and ask you for help. Pray for a Christ centered community. A group of people that love Christ that will be there to support you, edify you and encourage you.
Having been in both situations in the past, I learned about boundaries *and* how to actually implement them in my life. Boundaries are Biblical. Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend is a great book to start with! Scripture based. Brené Brown and Melody Beatty are great, too ❤ It's a process - my heart goes out to you ❤ it's a difficult place to be in.
Don’t focus on the outside. Focus on the people in your house. Pray over them constantly and consistently. Don’t expect praise from your husband, but praise him. It’s hard and doesn’t seem fair but it will improve
Hey there thismamasfaith! I want to say thank you, your videos have helped me out so much. Nearly a week ago I truly believe that I was brought to your channel through the holy spirit through deep prayer. This week has honestly been the most prayerful, spiritual, beautiful, proactive, mindful and way less angry when working week I have had!. I'm happy to say my permanent crease between my eyebrows has slowly started to disappear. Thank you for your lovely voice overs that are so easy to listen to and your amazing cleaning videos that make me feel like smashing out all the work in the house daily lol. But now to just get it done, not to get it perfect lol 😅. Thank you for blessing me and my family. I will pray for you and your family. Warmest, kindest thank you from a small place in NZ called Hokianga and may God Bless you and your family. Aroha nui ❤
Hey, Tabitha! Thanks! I really needed this. This is where I need to be. Where do you get your lovely dresses? I would like to dress like that for my husband but I don’t really know where to turn to buy such lovely things.
I totally agree with all that you are saying and I really appreciate you sharing and encouraging us wives and mothers:) I work from home and homeschool like we you.. can you please share your homemaking Homeschooling and work schedule?? And also what scripture are you referring to see when you say to give 100 percent?
Hello Tabitha! I am soooo happy to stumble upon your channel. I am a homemaker, too, but I'm older with small kids. We are a traditional Catholic family, too. And I love watching Mamas here in yt who also love homemaking. ❤❤❤
You are also a working woman too with this youtube channel. God loves for women to work from within the home, it is biblical. 8 feel all women should have a small side hustle from within the home. You can babysit, do alterations, bake and small things like that. It's really nice to have your own pocket money!
Do you have any favorite places to get all these beautiful dresses? All he ones I have liked are so expensive! Thanks sooo much❤ New to you channel and loving it!
When you say 100% to those of us who do work full time does this also mean the husband gives 100% too? Trying to see the context in what you meant when you said that
I truly enjoyed your video and got valuable information to apply to my daily life. I must ask. Why marry a man to be the lead, without expecting anything from him? What would be the point in marrying him if he just exists with you?
I find none of these things are possible without the order and authority which comes from the father of the house, the husband, where the respect and cooperation of the children is concerned.
Hi Mama, thanks for sharing. I am really liking your videos. Can you please share your favourite place to get modest dresses? And how did you make the switch to wearing only dresses? I struggle to find it practical many days with a baby and two toddlers, running around and cleaning. I thought to maybe wear shorts underneath, since I am on the ground playing with my children a lot. Thoughts and tips? Thank you and God bless.
There's a high calling A high calling Can you yield when God commands Come out of her My people And testify through the land That My word will sanctify.
It’s funny because I often hear pastors teaching about these worthy qualities in a wife but they fail to mention that we’ve got to start developing these habits in singleness.
I believe, as a Christian, that our highest calling is serving Christ and spreading the faith. Many women, including myself can best fulfill this high calling by being a homemaker.
Thank you for this reminder in being a good wife. Sometimes in today's society it is so hard to keep that in mind and allow ego to ovyer come us. I appreciate this purity so much.
@@ThisMamasFaith thank you so much! I just have to say thank you for sharing your faith and life with us. It’s truly helped me change my attitude towards my homemaking and it’s a complete game changer. Thank you 🙏
The Proverbs 31 woman is a type - however, many women that were similar could have easily existed. She was *not* a mother with little children - older children, an established business, she had servants... lots of time invested over years before getting to the point of life depicted in scripture. Give yourself TIME, ladies! ❤ this doesn't happen overnight. The season of life with many small children is different from what's described - breathe, apply these principles, raise those littles, build your skills when possible. In a decade or two, your season of life will be different.
The excellent woman is Gods church with enough members for the perfect wife seeing as the church is his bride/wife. Never saw that before. what one woman cannot do the church can like our body with all its parts. God is good!
Really appreciate this. I’m often looked down upon by my friends for staying home with my kids and not having a traditional paying job. I know I’m called to be home and raise them.

I am a working woman (self employed working from home) and your videos are very inspiring to become better at serving my home, husband, and family.
Literally as soon as I started watching the video, I heard someone saying, ‘it’s okay to be a homemaker” I had lost my second job just this year.
Aweeeeee amen !!! I been wanting to do this a home maker. This is a beautiful thing
When my kids were young I was a homemaker now I’m just blessed to have a job where I can help my husband financially and enjoy working outside of the home and still take care of my home and be there for my adult children.

As a woman struggling with childhood trauma and anxiety and depression I struggle to believe God accepts me as I am while also being a God of justice. But He is both! He is holy but He made a way for us to connect with Him through Jesus BECAUSE He loves us and wants to be with us. Jesus died for each of us as if we were the only ones on the planet, even the ones who would spit in His face. And because He died for us, we do not have to earn His approval. We already have it! Just building a relationship with Him will change you, you will want to please Him and automatically produce fruit! You don't have to strive to be what everyone else considers a good woman. Let that be between you and God! This standard is not a bad standard but it is a man made one. And I guarantee the graceful and poised woman of God is either not showing the down sides or she has been with God a long time and done a lot of hard growing. Please go easy on yourself and just focus on Him, know you are already loved and accepted by Him, and let Him help you grow and heal. Also, the people in that forum do not represent God, nor do they represent a lot of people in the world, it's just one ugly forum, please do not listen to them. People with mental illnesses have worth and they have a place and a purpose. The Bible says God has no favorites, which means God loves both the mentally well and the mentally unwell and He sees our hearts. Everyone's journey is different, the mental illness journey may just be a little slower but it's a worthwhile journey
@@redhead911126 Thank you immensely for your comment. I really needed to read this. As I grow and mature my awareness of my faults becomes more acute and I’ve hated myself more and more with each passing day because I can’t be perfect, as much as I try. Reading your comment made some tears well up in my eyes. ❤️
I'm praying everyone reading this has a beautiful new week ❤ God loves you. ♥️🙏🏻✝️
You too!
I've been listening to these while feeding my 3 week old first child. So much homemaking content focuses on toxic productivity and its so difficult to still feel worthy as a homemaker in these slower seasons. God is truly working through this content. ❤
Hi Tabitha!
Just wanted to let you know that your videos inspire me to get more done in my home and with my kids. Also they inspire me to try to be a better wife and mother.
Please keep them coming!
Hope you (and any of you reading this) have a blessed day.
That is awesome!
Hello from Austria! 🤗I just want to say Thank you!!!🙏 I get so easily influenced the false way. So thank you for your content, the world needs this more then ever! ❤
I found this on accident and it is exactly what the doctor ordered. I love your content and it is very motivating. I found you at the right time and I needed this today. Thank you so much.
I didnt know i needed to hear all this..ive read proverbs 31 so many times but the way you explain it so simple, reallity hit me to fix up lol thank you ❤
Maybe the greatest way to bring glory to Christ is to love our husbands. I really think this ministry is one of the most relevant in our world today.....
I am so glad you are back! I’ve been watching your other channel in the meantime. Hearing gods words through you, and one other TH-cam home maker, has been soothing and helped me transition this year. Last year I was in a dark area. I could not find happiness and it was all around me. I thank god for my imperfectly perfect home. I thank god for my boys as they go through their individual journeys. Everything I had prayed five years ago for everything currently surrounding me and I had been so blind from feeling overwhelmed and lost. Thank you.
I will be posting for sure every other Sunday! Hopefully more in between.
What's the other channel?😮
@@taniaortiz6555 This Mama’s House
Do you sew your own clothes?
@@pbsamanthamarie no! the dress in this video is from marshalls 😂
You are doing good work. In old enough to be your mom but you inspire me to be a better wife and strengthen my relationship with God.
I feel so stupid and worthless. I started watching your videos to try and be a better homemaker, because I am not good at it. Honestly I'm not good at anything. I was raised by a single mom, my dad was a slackoff and my whole life I've listened how men are worthless and abusive. And want us as maids only. Now I have a good husband. He is a Godsend. But I suck at being a good wife. I've become depressed after birth, only now I'm slowly waking up. I've found God only lately and I can't help but feel cheated out of so many years... I fight with my own pride daily and fail. I wish I had your wisdom. I'm trying but today is a day where I feel like I've failed. My husband, my children. My Lord. And me. I hope I will become at least in part as good of a woman as you.
Thank you for what you do.
Ask God for wisdom mama! That is a prayer he promised to answer! One day at a time, progress over perfection. You are not a failure! 😍
As an older woman (66) and I can tell you it’s a process and takes a lifetime. Give yourself the grace God gives. If you weren’t taught you can’t expect yourself to excel. You can learn by being around other godly women. Never take criticism or flattery to heart. Both will bring pride or shame. Do the best you know how, but try to eat the elephant of excellence one tiny bite at a time. Ask God daily to direct your steps, then lean heavily into trusting Him. He gently leads women.
Yes, the adversary stole many years of your life, but those years, those tests, will be your testimony as you mature. God redeems the years the locust and cankerworm consumes. He will redeem those years for you. Ask Him! Every good and perfect gift comes from God to His children. Everything that steals from you, kills you or your joy and destroys comes from the adversary. He’s a deceiver. Don’t ever trust the Father of lies. Those negative thoughts in your head come from demons assigned to you. Every time they speak negativity say, “that isn’t my thought, leave now in Jesus’ name”.
NEVER compare. Comparison is the thief of joy and hope. You are ONE OF A KIND. it’s like comparing the Mona Lisa to a Picasso. Which one is better? God has put gifts and talents in you that no one else has. They have to be developed as you trust Him.
You are fearfully and wonderfully designed.
Consider this: if you have a baby, would you expect her to be able to read as well as you? Would you demand she scrub the kitchen like a pro? You are a babe in Christ. If you can wash a dish you have a skill. Wash it like you’re washing for Jesus. If you can fold a towel, fold it like you’re folding it for the Lord. The more you do this, the better you will be at all your skills. Always give a bit more, do a bit better.
God loves you just as you are, where you are. Delight yourself in Him, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Be encouraged.
Nana Cherry
@@cerwelt That was so beautiful!
You’re not a failure! ❤ press on! You got this!
@@cerweltWow! Such wisdom!
This video really made me realize I’m doing well as a new homemaker. I’ve been really struggling with it since I’m not making very much of an income right now (I make a tiny bit from TH-cam but it’s truly pennies). Thank you for this.
I am newly wed and I don't know how to start. Thank you for your videos - yes, I just have to do the "next thing." May God keep you! 💗
Please make more of these!! I got so much done for my family and to glorify God with my home while listening to this. It was such a peaceful joyful time.
Thank you so much ❤ Regards from an orthodox Christian from Greece! this is the most beautiful video ive ever seen in homemaking made me realise a lot of my mistakes! Thank you so mush I wish God blesses you with all my heart! It almost made me cry! I feel like homemaking its not the best thing ever but after watching this video it made me realise how important for all and gloryfing to God is! This video made me wanting to make a family again! Im 24 but the last years after all the divirces I see and everything of todays world Im so afraid and thoughtful on wanting a family! Thank you so much God bless you and your fam !you are far precious than jewels 💎❤Thank you!
Ο Θεος να σε ευλογησει με μια χαρουμενη κι αγαπημενη εν Χριστω οικογενεια!Μη φοβου,μονο πιστευε.😊🙏❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful day with us. I was able to work alongside you while listening and learning more about the Proverbs 31 woman who honestly always made me feel less than. 😢 My perspective on her has changed thanks to you sharing your Bible study. Praise God! I work from home and sometimes neglect my homemaker tasks. You've encouraged me to get going on those tasks early so I don't procrastinate, and I know my future self will be so grateful. Have a blessed day, and thank you again! You made a difference in my life today. 💖🌹🙏
I find your videos very comforting, as well as motivating. They encourage me to stop thinking negatively about myself because I’m unable to keep up with my housework as a 70 year old wife. I’m decluttering, & bringing order to specific areas of my home each week or as I can, such as my closet. I know decluttering comes before organizing, but I find encouragement from organizing after I declutter that one area. Otherwise my entire house gets worse before it gets better. I have so much I want to do, but run out of energy & have a lot of back & shoulder pain. Plus, I’m a musician who writes worship music to God. That takes time too. Prayers please. TY for your videos.
You are doing good keep going
The thing about the Proverbs 31 woman is that she is a woman with an entire life span. She could be feeding her children when they are young, and making money when they are older. She could be choosing fields in one season, and then making clothes and clothing her family in the next. Anything sounds like a lot of work, but each day can have a different activity. She did not do all these things at once and was not expected to. The span of time is definitely worth considering
Had this reading on my wedding day blessed to hear it again ❤
The trustworthy wife segment was the best truth bomb I needed! Thanks for sharing Tabitha
Thanks for watching! 💞
Thank you for helping me work out my motivation. I so appreciate you and this community.
I love the long video. ❤ I love to watch though while also doing things. The Holy Spirit really speaks through you and gives you beautiful insight to share. I've loved watching your channel grow. It's well deserved! ❤
I’ve really been enjoying your videos and my husband and I who have been Protestant for 10 years are converting to Catholicism so thank you for your witness! God bless you ❤
Thanks be to God!! ✨🙏🏼
I am so blessed to have found your channel!❤❤❤❤❤
You just gave out so much wisdom! Ty for helping me grow in my faith and in my marriage mama!
I just listened to this video while bustling about my own home.
Thank you for sharing. ☺️ I might try your phone in the bathroom idea as I have a difficult time getting up before my early rising kids.
Love the soft music choice for this too-it made my chores enjoyable while listening to His Word and truth. Blessings!
So glad I was able to keep you company while you did your chore :)
I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing. I don’t feel so bad now that I not the woman in this chapter. I realize that I need to work on beefing a better wife. My children are grown up and not at home. I would enjoy hearing about how to be a better wife that glorifies God .
So helpful, thank you. I need the challenge to rise early as God says. Now to the implementing!
I’m so happy to find your channel, thank you for your content, for me is very relaxing and also edifying, you are such a blessing for many people. Thank you for spread your knowledge and be a light in this world!🙏🙏
I wanna thank you for being a very inpirational example to me. You really motivate me to care for my home and family! And do it with love and appreciate my position in the home, since I'm a stay at home mom. God bless you for what you do hun!! ❤I also love the Bible study you do😍
Left my career job to take care of my family.this has transformed my family bond great.i now understand my chn n husband.most of all serving God.
I have a genuine question or two I should say. What if you would love to be a daughter of Christ and serve your family well but your husband is ungrateful of what you provide and down plays everything. What if You have tried to make genuine friendships but people are not are pure as they once were and everyone seems to take advantage of your kindness for their own personal gain. How do we go about these two situations when we are trying to live a slow meaningful life?
Pray for your husband. Keep doing what you are doing. Do it for the Lord. In regards to people, I learned to worry about myself and my families needs. If people are not asking for help, dont help them. If they need you, they will humble themselves and ask you for help. Pray for a Christ centered community. A group of people that love Christ that will be there to support you, edify you and encourage you.
Amen
Having been in both situations in the past, I learned about boundaries *and* how to actually implement them in my life.
Boundaries are Biblical. Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend is a great book to start with! Scripture based. Brené Brown and Melody Beatty are great, too ❤
It's a process - my heart goes out to you ❤ it's a difficult place to be in.
Don’t focus on the outside. Focus on the people in your house. Pray over them constantly and consistently. Don’t expect praise from your husband, but praise him. It’s hard and doesn’t seem fair but it will improve
I love the longer video. I listened while I worked today. Bless you.
I love watching you “walk the talk”💝
I love your channels and appreciate the content you create. Thankyou for the inspiration.
Thank you so much!
Hey there thismamasfaith! I want to say thank you, your videos have helped me out so much. Nearly a week ago I truly believe that I was brought to your channel through the holy spirit through deep prayer. This week has honestly been the most prayerful, spiritual, beautiful, proactive, mindful and way less angry when working week I have had!. I'm happy to say my permanent crease between my eyebrows has slowly started to disappear. Thank you for your lovely voice overs that are so easy to listen to and your amazing cleaning videos that make me feel like smashing out all the work in the house daily lol. But now to just get it done, not to get it perfect lol 😅. Thank you for blessing me and my family. I will pray for you and your family.
Warmest, kindest thank you from a small place in NZ called Hokianga and may God Bless you and your family.
Aroha nui ❤
Wow! That’s so wonderful. I’m so glad they’ve made a difference 🥹
Hebrews 13.4 ❤ we choose that for our wedding Mass. A wonderful reminder.
Amazing!!
I love your dress. Thank you for your video. I'm doing laundry while listening.
Thank you, I needed to hear this.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Caroline!! 🥰
This is awesome! Love it! ❤ Thank you.
Hey, Tabitha! Thanks! I really needed this. This is where I need to be.
Where do you get your lovely dresses? I would like to dress like that for my husband but I don’t really know where to turn to buy such lovely things.
Happy Sunday beautiful mama 🙏🏼🧡🍂🍁
Thank you that blessed praise guiding to come best godly wife I can be ❤
Thank you for inspiration! 💜
I totally agree with all that you are saying and I really appreciate you sharing and encouraging us wives and mothers:) I work from home and homeschool like we you.. can you please share your homemaking Homeschooling and work schedule?? And also what scripture are you referring to see when you say to give 100 percent?
Hello Tabitha! I am soooo happy to stumble upon your channel. I am a homemaker, too, but I'm older with small kids. We are a traditional Catholic family, too. And I love watching Mamas here in yt who also love homemaking. ❤❤❤
Wonderful! So glad you’re here
I will prepare myself. This video must be the answer to my prayer
Always excited when I see your videos ! Your so inspiring . Can’t wait to see the next
Thank you for your catholic apostolate. God bless you and your family. God bless all families.
You are also a working woman too with this youtube channel. God loves for women to work from within the home, it is biblical. 8 feel all women should have a small side hustle from within the home. You can babysit, do alterations, bake and small things like that. It's really nice to have your own pocket money!
I like these videos. Can you do one about how you rest in God and also from your daily routine.
I just loved this. God bless you and your family Tabitha.
I don't have a dishwasher or a washing machine it does play a big issue, and takes way more time out of my day.
Do you have any favorite places to get all these beautiful dresses? All he ones I have liked are so expensive! Thanks sooo much❤ New to you channel and loving it!
Thank you very much watching from Papua new Guinea.
When you say 100% to those of us who do work full time does this also mean the husband gives 100% too? Trying to see the context in what you meant when you said that
Yes! Marriage should be 100/100 not 50/50
I truly enjoyed your video and got valuable information to apply to my daily life. I must ask. Why marry a man to be the lead, without expecting anything from him? What would be the point in marrying him if he just exists with you?
I find none of these things are possible without the order and authority which comes from the father of the house, the husband, where the respect and cooperation of the children is concerned.
Hi Mama, thanks for sharing. I am really liking your videos. Can you please share your favourite place to get modest dresses? And how did you make the switch to wearing only dresses? I struggle to find it practical many days with a baby and two toddlers, running around and cleaning. I thought to maybe wear shorts underneath, since I am on the ground playing with my children a lot. Thoughts and tips? Thank you and God bless.
Where do you get your dresses? Do you make them?
cloth diapering mama! 🫶🏼 love it! thank you for this huge motivation we need 1000 videos like this one !!😍😍
Love your channel. ❤
Where do you buy your dresses from?? They’re very pretty!
Mama where are your dresses from!?
I have to go back to work part time unfortunately. I'm feeling really guilty about this. What should I be thinking about?
There's a high calling
A high calling
Can you yield when God commands
Come out of her My people
And testify through the land
That My word will sanctify.
God bless you. I will share your message.
@ruth3452 it's a song I wrote, it's on sound cloud search ...high calling meier
Where do you get your dresses? 💛
Could you share your recipe for the blueberry bagels?
I found it on Instagram! I can’t remember the post!!! 😅
Hey there, I've been looking all over for dresses like the ones thaf you wear, but haven't had any luck. Could you share with me?
Loved your video!
Do you have a link for the yellow dress you’re wearing?
It’s from Shein!
It’s funny because I often hear pastors teaching about these worthy qualities in a wife but they fail to mention that we’ve got to start developing these habits in singleness.
Such a great point!!!
It is Spiritual👏🏻😊
What is considered a high calling?
I’m not sure I understand your question?
@@ThisMamasFaith your video said homemakers is a high calling
I believe, as a Christian, that our highest calling is serving Christ and spreading the faith.
Many women, including myself can best fulfill this high calling by being a homemaker.
What do you think ? should a woman wake up early even on The weekend?
Thank you great video 🙏❣
Luv your dress❤🎉
What Bible version were you reading from when you read Prov. 31? Thank you!
NAS
Thank you for this reminder in being a good wife. Sometimes in today's society it is so hard to keep that in mind and allow ego to ovyer come us. I appreciate this purity so much.
Where can I find the proverbs videos?
There is a playlist with all of them :)
@@ThisMamasFaith thank you so much! I just have to say thank you for sharing your faith and life with us. It’s truly helped me change my attitude towards my homemaking and it’s a complete game changer. Thank you 🙏
The Proverbs 31 woman is a type - however, many women that were similar could have easily existed.
She was *not* a mother with little children - older children, an established business, she had servants... lots of time invested over years before getting to the point of life depicted in scripture.
Give yourself TIME, ladies! ❤ this doesn't happen overnight. The season of life with many small children is different from what's described - breathe, apply these principles, raise those littles, build your skills when possible. In a decade or two, your season of life will be different.
I love your videos. 🙏
I'm so glad!
Check out the book called Steven Demogorgon if you love to read. It has a little bit of everything.
The excellent woman is Gods church with enough members for the perfect wife seeing as the church is his bride/wife. Never saw that before. what one woman cannot do the church can like our body with all its parts. God is good!
Where buy you your dress? Maybe, you make its?
God bless you to
What if God's and husband's opinions are different and they don't value homemakers:(
I’m sorry you’re experiencing that 😫
Thank you
Love your channel keep at it (:
❤❤❤
Well said❤
💕
