Thank you so much for this. I needed this so very much in this season of life. I’ve been trying desperately to wake up before the kids but I’m so exhausted with a teething toddler that even when I’m awake and reading, the words just bounce off of my head. Reading the Bible with a nice cup of tea during his nap has been so much better for my mental health and connection to God. ❤
I used to wake up and study my Bible before the kids woke up and to be honest when I was in the middle of a study and my kids woke up I would get annoyed that I was interrupted. That’s not what I want. Well my husband got a new job that meant I no longer could wake up early to study but I had to wake up earlier so get kids ready. So now I study whenever I have a pocket of time, often my kids are with me and I’m interrupted a million times but God has used that and now my kids are doing the same asking mom can we read our Bible with you and how beautiful is that. I’m learning to be adaptable and except that my Bible time will look different each time. But my kids are seeing me love Gods word and that is a gift.
Amen !! This video is so refreshing and a huge reminder to stop and be still in the presence of the Lord. Mainly, because aware of where God has you. This is amazing Mana !! God bless you !
Thank you, again, for sharing and being so vulnerable. We're all in different seasons. As long as we prioritize the Lord and continue to seek Him, the time(s) of day in which we do that are secondary. I loved hearing the story about you and your husband on bicycles! That is SO inspiring. Keep on laughing, dating, and loving your spouse - it's beautiful! Lastly, you're doing an amazing job! 🩷 God bless 🙏🏼
@@Proverbs31WifeandMom Thank you so much for watching and being here. The bicycle story was out of a devotional but could totally relate to what she was saying, My husband is so great at reminding me to let it go and to point me back to the Lord
This is sooo beautiful!! Yes, no shame or guilt attached when we can’t get up before the kids. I personally do encourage, and try my best to set aside alone time with God first thing in the morning. But like you said, life is all about seasons. Sometimes I’m able to get up early to do it and there are seasons where it’s where it’s challenging. And yes, it’s okay for the kids to interrupt. I use to get upset but now I don’t. Either I pause to see what they want or I invite them in and turn it into a read aloud moment. Thank you Destiny ❤. God bless you!
I think it’s wonderful how you are leading your children in the word. You are obeying God’s commandments in Deuteronomy 6:6-8. I also believe that we don’t have to feel bad about ourselves if we can’t seek the Lord in prayer and on His word first thing in the morning as there will be times when we will have to wait for a different time during the day. The important thing is to be diligent no matter what time it is. We certainly don’t want to get into the trap of Legalism. I love how you uphold our Lord and Savior on your channel. God has given you this ministry. God bless you honey !
You are such a wise lady to be so young Destiny. I'm 65 and live in Alabama. I wish I had your wisdom when my two boys were young. Ty for this video. Have the best week ever ! Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for this video!!! I definitely needed to hear this, this particular morning. Interesting how you know things, but having reminders is awesome. Spending time with Jesus is the ultimate goal and He wants our best! It def doesn’t have to be super early in the morning. I definitely feel encouraged!
New here !! All the way from Texas! Just want to say This is Gods perfect timing. Mom of 2 and I barely get any rest. And today I noticed needed to just wake up early in the morning because if not it will be impossible! And then you put up this video! Praise JESUS ! Amen ! Thank you , gonna try this method Wednesday for sure see how I can apply it. But it’s true babies need to see you in the word. Hoping this method works! God bless you sister!
I appreciate your honesty, adjusting during seasons is so vital. I used to get stuck in my ways so much (slowly working on it) but I realized my heart was in the wrong place. Spending time with the Lord anytime throughout the day so I can bear His fruits ❤
Hello Destiny it’s always such a blessing to see you and learn from you. I’ve had the flu for a week and I can’t seem to shake it. It’s awful. But watching you today was up lifting thank you.
With my children in our small home, no way waking up before them is working. It took me a long time to realize that spending time with the Lord doesnt have to look like how someone else does it. When I wake up I thank Him en ask Him for his guidance. When our children ( special needs) are out the door to their schools, the house is quiet en then I pray, read and journal. I put on some harp worship music and then I just soak in Gods presence. We need to stop to make everything legalistic, so thank you for this message. Beautiful to see that your children want to participate in reading the Bible.
