I really enjoy your channel it is very encouraging and I love that you speak truth. I am a stay home mom of four for 12 years and I homeschool 9th,6th,3rd,and 2nd but I give God praise every day that I get the privilege to serve my family. God bless you and your family keep fighting the good fight mighty warrior.
I'm with you...I used to feel like 'less than enough'. I'm so thankful that the Lord is working in so many women now to help us find our identity in Him and the joy in our roles within our families.
Thanks for this video! I’ve needed the encouraging reminder. Been under a lot of stress from certain family members who expect things done their way or I fall short. I am not them. We esteem different operating systems. We run on a moral and values system and they run on an end product system. The end result justifies their mean(s). (Seems like mean as in hostile lol) I do not have to answer to them, just to The Lord, my God.
I love my life .I am happy with my home and homeschool.i could stay on my hill forever.i love my garden my flowers .I miss the cattle we had but hopefully will get more someday.i love the slow life .I love not having to go at a rush .may God bless you and your family.thank you for sharing your life with us ..
I tell you….we are definitely on the same wavelength…..I’ll be feeling a certain way and you post a video talking about that very thing!!! You’re a messenger of God for me ❤ So thank you for your words and helping so many of us who feel the same way!! We are so not alone in this crazy world ❤❤❤
Dawn, thank you so much for your encouragement to me. Your words are confirmation to my soul. We are so NOT ALONE. One step at a time, right mama? 🌸❤️🌸
Jamie, you are always such an encouragement to me. I have two little boys and you were one of the first moms on UA-cam who helped give me the confidence to start this homeschool journey. This video brought tears to my eyes. It was such a nice reminder. You'll always be a favorite of mine.Thank you!
God must be trying to help me today!! I woke up to Erin's Bates' short devotional on Praising God in homemaking... SO GOOD... and now your video on homemaking... my family is precious to me... SO MUCH... and more than ever, I am realizing what an impact I am on my children for better of for worse... how will my children turn out?? What am I teaching them through what they see in me and my action??♡♡ So God, "I am listening and changes will be made as You are gently guiding me to be even more of what You want me to be for these precious children you have gifted my life with... may I ever be faithful to follow You only and hear all Your little checks, Lord, for you know my children best and what I need to choose and do for them so that your will and way be not hindered in their little lives and future... " - Amen
So good! I think minimalism helps out so much too! Our house is not big but I've decluttered so much and it's so much easier to pick up. Love this perspective. 😍💕
Yes, agreed! I'm really feeling the bug to go deeper...and it is so freeing! Little by little, inch by inch, I'm getting there. Whatever that looks like for our family. 😊
This was so needed today 💕 School with my boys has become such a struggle. Zero focus, zero interest, fighting to get them to pay attention and do what they are “suppose” to be doing. And then today, the school kart literally tumbled over and spilled all over the living room floor. I just sat down on the couch in surrender as my youngest three rushed in and cleaned it all up for me. (So sweet) But in that moment, I knew. I just need to stop the curriculum, for now. Why do they flight me? They want to PLAY. What did they ask me to do this morning and I said “no”?? They wanted me to read Paddington!! I’m getting my kids to bed tonight and then I’m doing exactly what you recommended. I’m going to journal and refocus what I NEED to be doing with these boys. I think it is going to center around letting them PLAY and read even more books to them. I’m okay with that. 💕 Thanks Jamie
Ohhh Elaine....I am so sorry you are in a hard season. I will send up a prayer for you this morning. Sometimes we (I) just get caught up in so many things and forget to just sit and BE. That's one of the hardest things for me if I'm being honest. However, those moments are always so life giving. I pray you have some of those sweet moments of stillness with your kids today. Enjoy those books and snuggles, mama! ❤️🤗🌸
@@SimplyLivingIt Jamie! Thank you so much 💕 I had to share…. Today, out of the clear blue sky, my son came to me with his brothers book of CVC words and started sounding them out and reading them! The thing is…my son has apraxia of speech and I’ve been told “sounding out words” doesn’t really happen with apraxia of speech!!! Yet- HE DID IT. TODAY he did it. My hope of him ever reading was waning and God, in His mercy, gave me this sliver of hope today. God is so good. We just have to keep pushing forward even when it feels like we are going NO WHERE. 💕 Thank you for your prayers that day.
