0:00
hello you guys so I just finished my
0:02
morning prayer i also did my devotion
0:05
today i'm just doing the steadfast
0:07
motherhood devotion from the Daily Grace
0:09
Company on the 60 days of abiding in
0:12
Christ it's some really good stuff in
0:14
here and um I could always use some you
0:18
know help in the motherhood department
0:21
but it just it's a really good gospel
0:23
devotion overall um so right now I just
0:27
want to take a moment to tidy up my room
0:29
a little bit and vacuum my floors and
0:31
everything um and then put a load in the
0:34
wash so that is my first goal of today
0:38
because my husband brought breakfast for
0:40
us and coffee so normally that's
0:42
something that I would get up and do but
0:44
I don't have to do that because
0:46
thankfully um I just finished thanking
0:48
God that he has done this for me so
0:50
that's one thing that I don't have to um
0:52
do he gave me this time to spend with
0:54
the Lord to spend with you guys and in
0:57
my devotion so now I am going to try and
1:02
make the most of this here time so I'm
1:05
just going to do what I can here while I
1:08
was praying one of the things I prayed
1:10
and asked God about is his guidance and
1:12
how to center this video what I could do
1:16
or say to inspire or motivate you as a
1:20
homemaker a mom a wife watching this
1:22
video and one thing that I felt
1:27
compelled to share is how I have been
1:31
inspired myself so in trying to figure
1:33
out how to best inspire you I decided to
1:35
ask myself like well what inspires you
1:38
and I think that that's like a good
1:40
place to start prayer is always your
1:43
goto it should never be on the back
1:46
burner like last resort that used to be
1:49
how I was i used to be like "Okay God at
1:51
this point I just don't know what to do
1:54
i've tried it all and I'm trying so hard
1:56
and please help me." You know and I've
1:59
used that same prayer in many different
2:01
areas of my life and motherhood and
2:04
wifehood and work um family issues all
2:08
types of different areas of life you can
2:11
say you know have that same prayer but
2:15
then I realized like I could have saved
2:18
all of this had I just gone to God first
2:21
and so that's what I just want to
2:23
inspire you to do if ever you're having
2:25
like a hard moment just don't be afraid
2:28
to stop wherever you are god meets you
2:30
right where you are you do not have to
2:32
be in a quiet secluded place although um
2:36
Jesus did that and it is you know
2:38
recommended it's so nice to have that
2:40
prayer time distractionf free but that's
2:43
not always how life works you know you
2:46
can definitely stop in the midst of a
2:48
storm and pray and you know you can
2:52
utter just the words like "Peace be
2:54
still," which is straight out of the
2:56
Bible and sometimes even in the midst of
2:59
whatever chaotic life um thing you're
3:02
going through that's what you will
3:04
experience peace in Christ and so if
3:06
ever you're having a hard moment as a
3:08
mom in homemaking as a family member
3:10
whatever it might be go to God first
3:13
don't go to him last as a last resort
3:16
you might just save yourself so much
3:19
stress stress heartache and you know
3:23
mistakes and doing the wrong things and
3:25
even doing the wrong things that's okay
3:27
we learn from that so as long as we have
3:29
that heart of always being ready to
3:32
learn we we won't be afraid we don't
3:35
have to be afraid because we know that
3:37
God is with us in everything that we do
3:39
knowing that even if we do mess up that
3:42
we can even take that and learn from
3:44
that as well it just helps you to
3:47
approach things a lot more headon and
3:49
just ready with a full armor of God and
3:52
full armor of Christ and I don't know
3:55
about you but I definitely need that
3:57
especially like experiencing motherhood
3:59
because um I've only been a mom for six
4:02
years and so there are a lot of things
4:04
that I sometimes don't see coming that
4:07
I'm not prepared for like those teenage
4:09
years I'm terrified if I'm gonna be
4:11
completely honest but I know that I
4:13
don't have to be because I have God you
4:15
know there to walk me through it another
4:18
thing is to find someone else to inspire
4:20
you if you could find another godly
4:22
woman that you can connect with let them
4:25
inspire you don't be afraid to just be
4:28
humble there is this woman that we met
4:32
they're family they have like the most
4:34
beautiful family and yet they live such
4:36
a humble and mundane life it's it's a
4:39
beautiful thing to see but this woman
4:42
she is a wife a mother of four children
4:45
and then she also has like 70 animals
4:47
and she stayed right in the city when
4:50
she had like half of these animals she
4:52
recently moved to like a farmhouse and
4:54
now she has like all these animals that
4:57
she cares for as well as her children
4:59
she watches like her siblings children's
5:02
at time and her husband is sometimes in
5:05
the army and I'm like how does she do it
5:10
and it's just so inspiring to see like I
5:13
used to feel a little bit like small
5:15
around her like the things that I
5:17
complain about are so small compared to
5:20
everything that she is doing but it's
5:22
just that we're in different walks and
5:24
parts of life you don't have to be like
5:27
that person you be content right where
5:30
you are and look at that woman and say
5:32
"Maybe we can connect maybe there's
5:33
something that person can teach me." If
5:36
you approach your relationships in that
5:38
way it can be a very beautiful thing
5:40
because the Bible also does instruct um
5:43
you know older women to teach the
5:45
younger women and so that is just how I
5:48
would love to be one day able to teach
5:51
the women that are younger than me as
5:54
well as learn from those that are older
5:56
than me so that's one way that I be
6:00
inspired in this homemaking journey as
6:04
well is just from other women in my life
6:06
like I've had so many women just come up
6:08
to me out of the blue and tell me
6:10
they've been praying for me and just ask
6:12
me out on a playd date and tell me like
6:14
they see me and I think that that is
6:16
just God you know i think God is just
6:18
aligning the relationships in my life
6:20
just as they should be and I'm just so
6:22
grateful for that definitely be inspired
6:24
by other people in your life and don't
6:26
be afraid to connect with them even if
6:27
it seems scary like it is for me love to
6:30
read self-help books like I've never
6:31
read like fiction and like storytelling
6:33
books and things like that but I love a
6:36
good selfhelp or motivational book and I
6:39
love my devotions so one book right now
6:42
that I think I would love to recommend
6:45
to you guys is called To Love Honor and
6:48
Vacuum by Sheila Ray times i know it
6:52
sounds like perfect for for this
6:55
cleaning video right she just shares in
6:57
this book like things that's helpful for
7:00
family life and applying scripture and
7:03
biblical answers like in the real world
7:05
family life about marriage about even
7:08
like disciplining our children about
7:10
relationships how to diagnose your
7:12
stress even your finances how to spend
7:15
more time with your children community
7:17
it's just a really really great book but
7:20
it's not super long 10 chapters um but
7:24
it's a really really great book and if I
7:26
had to tell you one book that might be a
7:29
great start if you're trying to look for
7:30
a good inspirational book that would be
7:32
the one and the other one is The
7:34
Wellwatered Woman like I could go ahead
7:36
and do a video just about like books
7:37
that I use to stay inspired in my
7:39
homemaking but this is a great like
7:41
there are just so many things out there
7:42
now like if there is something that you
7:44
need to be inspired in you can find it
7:46
like if you're trying to find
7:47
inspiration in how to eat healthier you
7:50
can find it on YouTube if you're trying
7:52
to be inspired on how to start a garden
7:55
you can find it on YouTube and if you
7:57
just need some cleaning motivation you
7:59
can find it here on YouTube and so that
8:02
is another way that you can like find
8:04
inspiration so like those are honestly
8:06
the things that I do sometimes I just
8:08
speak with those around me and see like
8:10
what it is that inspires them as well
8:12
and how things are going for them if
8:14
you're looking for how to you know stay
8:16
motivated and inspired those are like at
8:19
least the top three things that I do
8:21
maybe it might be helpful for you too to
8:25
try as well bedroom is nice and tidy and
8:28
clean now um I actually just changed the
8:32
bed sheets last night although I do want
8:33
to switch out a couple of our
8:34
pillowcases for some mulberry silk
8:37
because my baby girl sometimes she lays
8:39
in here with us sometimes we cos sleep
8:42
just to like get rid of some of that
8:43
friction and not dry out her hair and
8:45
everything like that i just want to
8:47
change out some of our cotton
8:49
pillowcases for some silk on so those
8:51
are on the way we'll be here this
8:53
evening then I can get them washed and
8:54
changed out and everything tonight but
8:57
everything I was like we're done here
8:59
that's just the beauty of like
9:02
decluttering and trying to go a little
9:04
bit more minimal and things is that you
9:06
don't have to spend a ton of time
9:08
cleaning up because it's just not a ton
9:10
of like things that you could possibly
9:13
mess and everything has like a home and
9:15
stuff so I'm still working my way
9:16
through it i can definitely like feel
9:18
and see like the difference and
9:20
everything thus far so that is just this
9:24
journey that I'm on it's definitely like
9:26
a freeing journey that I recommend
9:28
anyone just try it out and once you
9:31
start to feel the effects of it it's
9:33
like you know like okay this this is
9:35
necessary um especially like if you're
9:37
busy like I know it's not for everybody
9:39
but me personally I have been beginning
9:41
to feel like the effects of the burnout
9:43
and I think it just has to a lot to do
9:45
with like us as moms we kind of we just
9:48
do we do a lot and sometimes we do too
9:51
much and some of the things that we do
9:52
aren't completely necessary and it's
9:54
okay to sometimes every once in a while
9:56
do things that might take a little bit
9:59
more effort from us that's completely
10:01
fine but to just constantly be in that
10:03
state of like quick pace rushing trying
10:07
to get everything done it can definitely
10:10
be detrimental to our family life to our
10:12
mental health our physical health
10:14
emotional i felt God telling me for a
10:18
while the longest to just slow down and
10:20
I'm finally just I'm listening to him
10:23
and like it just feels like stress just
10:26
melting away so I'm really trying to
10:29
listen to God and have him like just
10:32
guide me through this little by little i
10:34
don't want to go like too crazy all
10:37
outright and then become discouraged you
10:40
know so I'm just letting him guide me
10:41
through that process but I just wanted
10:43
to tidy this room up and just you know
10:46
spend a little bit of time with you guys
10:47
and try to inspire you and motivate you
10:49
in your home making maybe you have
10:51
something to clean as well maybe you've
10:53
been feeling that tug from God to slow
10:54
down as well and this is just another
10:56
sign for you but yeah for now I think
10:59
I'm gonna go thank my husband for giving
11:02
me you know this time and I know some
11:04
people are like "Thank him for taking
11:07
care of his child too." And it's like
11:10
there's absolutely nothing wrong with
11:12
showing gratitude to your spouse he
11:14
shows gratitude to me i show gratitude
11:16
to him like I just don't get it like
11:19
people nowadays it's just it's the
11:21
weirdest thing ever there's nothing
11:23
wrong with saying thanks and sharing
11:25
gratitude and being kind having a loving
11:27
heart a humble heart i'm going to go
11:29
thank my husband for getting us
11:31
breakfast and coffee and grabbing the
11:33
baby so I can just do these things in
11:35
quiet because all the while he's still
11:38
working like he has a job he's working
11:40
while also going out doing all of these
11:43
things so that I can do this like I
11:46
don't have to be like a content creator
11:48
but I enjoy it and I want to be able to
11:51
