today I want to take a moment and share
0:02
with you guys while I am preparing some
0:04
breakfast for my family on this day I
0:06
was trying out a brand new recipe I was
0:09
making something called a Dutch baby
0:12
pancake and it taed out really good so
0:14
basically instead of preparing pancake
0:16
stove top you would prepare it inside of
0:19
the oven in like a dutch oven pan or
0:21
cast iron skillet so it turned out
0:24
really well so that is what I'm making
0:25
it was just a few easy ingredients and I
0:28
was stepping out trying something
0:31
different from what I normally do and
0:33
this was just something I did on the
0:35
whim trying to not be so strict with
0:38
myself as far as sticking with my same
0:41
old same old meal plan same old same old
0:43
daily schedule I figure every once in a
0:45
while I just mix it up and try something
0:47
a little bit new because I know as a
0:49
stay-at home Mom it's easy to become
0:51
bored and kind of get a little bit
0:54
overwhelmed or start to feel tired
0:57
within the everyday task even though
1:00
children are always
1:03
unpredictable but while I am doing some
1:06
homemaking today I wanted to take a
1:07
little bit of time to talk to you guys
1:10
about what it means to have a peaceful
1:12
home because my goal for 2024 I remember
1:17
I had my friends over were sitting in
1:18
the kitchen and the kitchen is where I
1:20
do a lot of uh my homemaking but I also
1:24
shareed my kitchen with others and on
1:26
this day we came together to talk about
1:28
some of the goals that we had for our
1:29
eles and when they asked me Mich go for
1:31
2024 I remember being pregnant and I was
1:34
like I really just want to create a
1:35
space of Peace for my family a home
1:38
where peace truly resides I remember
1:41
thinking like I want a place where one
1:43
day my children they feel like even
1:45
though there can be so much chaos
1:47
outside when we're driving the roads can
1:50
be busy we turn on the news and in
1:52
social media there are so many
1:53
distractions outside of our home it can
1:56
be a little bit chaotic but when we are
1:58
home I want my children to feel like
2:00
that is their safe place where they feel
2:03
safe and they feel comfortable and truly
2:06
at peace the same thing for my husband
2:08
like some people say that they go to the
2:10
gym because that is their therapy but I
2:13
want my husband to feel like his his
2:16
therapy and his peace is at home I don't
2:18
want it to be a place where he feel like
2:20
he has to escape I want it to be a place
2:22
where he is happy and enthused I feel
2:24
like that that's a touchy subject maybe
2:27
I don't know but I'm not afraid to admit
2:29
that yeah sometimes I think like that
2:31
that I want to make sure that my husband
2:33
has peace at home I don't want to nag
2:35
him all the time I don't want him to
2:37
feel stress because it's loud all the
2:39
time he works from home and I want him
2:42
to be able to do that in peace so that
2:45
he has the ability to be able to provide
2:48
for our family without it being super
2:50
stressful for him because you know it's
2:53
just not a very productive environment
2:55
if it comes to that so I've always
2:56
wanted to focus on creating a peaceful
2:59
environment and I had to pray through
3:02
that that is still my goal I'm getting
3:03
better and better at it basically I want
3:05
to share some of what I learned with you
3:07
guys for a long time I had believed that
3:09
a peaceful home was literally like peace
3:11
and quiet and some cleanliness as well
3:14
but I learned that peace is not always
3:17
quiet especially when you have little
3:18
ones and it's not always going to be the
3:20
cleanest because sometimes it's not
3:21
going to be super organized everything
3:23
is not going to be in its place and
3:25
sometimes it's going to be a little bit
3:26
messy too if you have children and so I
3:29
remember I used to spend so much time
3:31
trying to perfect my home and trying to
3:34
make it nice and clutter free and I
3:36
still try to do that but I had to learn
3:39
that that wasn't completely necessary
3:43
for creating peace it did help but you
3:45
can have a bit of a messy home and still
3:47
have some peace because that's not where
3:49
peace truly comes
3:54
from really oddly one day in the middle
3:56
of me praying for this I had the most
3:59
chaos
4:00
day I had been praying to become a
4:03
better Homemaker to be more intentional
4:06
to um really cultivate a home full of
4:10
peace and then the very next day you
4:11
guys I had the most craziest chaotic day
4:14
and I was like how on Earth am I
4:16
supposed to function in this and so I
4:19
paused again and I prayed and I asked
4:20
God I said so how can I how can I
4:24
understand what you are trying to show
4:25
me here what is it that you want me to
4:27
see um I really need your help creating
4:30
a home that is restful not just for my
4:32
family but for my own heart because in
4:34
that moment I completely felt
4:35
overwhelmed so over the course of that
4:38
day and really over the course of years
4:41
I learned that what he was trying to
4:42
show me is that peace does not come from
4:45
Perfection you're looking forward in the
4:47
wrong ways peace comes from him it comes
4:50
from God so one scripture that I came
4:54
across Let the Peace of Christ rule in
4:56
your hearts since as members of one body
4:59
you were called to peace and be thankful
5:02
and I remember that the Peace of the
5:05
Lord is what rules in our heart and it's
5:09
not something that's external it's
5:11
internal and you find that in God and
5:14
when you look around and just be
5:16
thankful for everything that you have
5:17
not thinking oh my God I got to fix this
5:19
I got to change that that's the only way
5:20
I'm going to find peace you really learn
5:24
um a different way of what true true
5:26
peace really means and it transforms the
5:28
way you approach home homemaking in your
5:34
family I thought maybe that might be
5:36
insightful to share with you as well as
5:39
far as what I've been learning to
5:42
cultivate a more peaceful home we can
5:45
start our days with prayer we can
5:47
embrace the imperfection right where we
5:49
are and allow God to meet us there which
5:51
he does we can set the tone for Grace
5:56
within our home make sure that no matter
5:58
how chaotic it is we are going to pray
6:00
and try to have Grace in those moments
6:03
you can try to play worship music you
6:05
can try to create daily rhythms that
6:08
works best for your family not trying to
6:11
match that of what you see other you
6:13
know influencers have they are great for
6:15
some inspiration but at the end of the
6:17
day it's most beneficial to create a
6:20
restful Rhythm that works for you um
6:24
another way to incorporate or cultivate
6:26
peace in your home is to always speak
6:28
words of encouragement no negativity all
6:31
of these are just basically things that
6:33
will help you have more peace within
6:35
your home but at the end of the day just
6:38
remember that no matter what it's
6:39
looking like as long as God's presence
6:42
is right in the middle of it you cannot
6:45
go wrong so make sure that you are
6:47
always looking to God for your peace and
6:49
not to external resources and surrender
6:52
your home and your hearts to him and
6:55
there you will find something beautiful
6:57
there you will find peace so if you're
6:59
feeling overwhelmed today I encourage
7:01
you to just take a deep breath and just
7:04
ask God for his peace not the type of
7:07
piece that you think you can create on
7:10
your own I hope that you guys found some
7:13
motivation in this video but most
7:15
importantly I hope that it pointed you
7:17
back to God thank you guys for watching
7:20
I'll see you guys in the next video
