As a psychotherapist , I’ve had female clients share with me that some of their friends speak dismissively of them for staying home with children. Why is it that satisfaction is marketed as primary coming from outside the home? First wave feminism was about women having the rights to work inside or outside the home. Let’s value women that desire to stay home to work with the same energy that we value women that go out to work.
Feminism is a political movement. It was never meant to benefit women but only the government and large profit making corporations. Yes I do agree that there are a few good things have come out of it but mostly it was meant to create a barrier between the man and the woman thereby leading to destruction of the family system and lineage.
Why should women be forced to work outside? Being a homemaker is a priceless job and for as long as the couple can afford it, women should be allowed to be a homemaker. Life as a women is definitely not easy. Besides the childbearing duties, a homemaker actually keeps the house in order so that the kids and her husband have a comfortable place to rest.
There's nothing that brings me so much fulfillment and satisfaction than when at the end of the day I sit down at my kitchen table with my bible and a cup of chamomile tea 🍵, hymn instrumental playing in the background knowing that I've served my husband and children to the best of my ability; as to the Lord. What a great honor!!
Great that's good and I'm happy for you, if that's what truly makes you happy, and I'm also happy for working women as well if they want to go out of the house, have a career/job if that's what makes them happy, but men in the Bible just want to make ALL THEIR WIVES slaves, penniless people and doormats and lock them up in the house all day. SMH.
That is such a powerful role I really appreciate the value of the homeworker illustrated in this video presentation I am a husband and father of 4 children..God has made woman and man to reflect his character and glory my greatest thanks to the presenter of this video ..more than 12 years into my marriage i never made a conscious effort to define roles(much everything was assumed )and Lord is currently working in our family at this very moment I now have greater respect for the homemaker "the women" a complimentary God like nature of our Savior doing so much unfortunately much of time unnoticed or appreciated by most receivers of the blessing..this video makes me want to honor more the role God has assigned in family in term legacy mentioned here...women never should be ashamed or give up their God given birth right.. remember as well said in the video grown man have been known to cry out to you mothers in the midst of fetal crises such as in times of war..you women have a powerful role...please fully embrace it for the sake of God's glory and our society. Today unfortunately the modern woman has taken up the role as a part-time hobby or altogether neglect this vital role. However to rest of you whom unfortunately get neglected by your husband/peers recall we are the ones missing out please continue be patient with us until we get it for His(God's)glory.. As a father of 2 daughters 3 and 12 years old I sincerely pray for wisdom since both their parents are behind and are just now making effort to do it according to God's word/philosophy. Please pray myself and wife. THANK YOU ALL&GOD BLESS ALL THE VIEWERS OF THIS CHANNEL. 🙏🏿
@@homewithellieb A desire to be locked up in the house all day and cater to your husband and not make a penny in this life relying on your husband for income. How good.
I come from a lineage of women who resented their homemaking. I feel it I’m my bones now I’m a mother. There’s this emptiness around what to do and how. I grew up watching my mother chastise and constantly yell at my father. I long and will do everything in my power to right this disturbance to the mother’s role. I also grew up without Christ. Now he as entered our lives and oh did the devil make himself known. We struggle but the power of the Lord will get us through this. Thank you Bindi
Sis, you really won't be able to comprehend the magnitude of what you are doing in your lifetime! Not only are you directly impacting your lineage, but also mine, those who are watching your videos & the countless of women who are indirectly influenced by of us who watch! I praise God for your obedience to share these well needed nuggets that seemed to have disappeared through the generations! May God continue to bless your ministry. 🙏 I love you!
Even as a single mother I was a stay at home mother and I still can’t explain exactly how. God will make sure that His Will goes forth. My husband always wanted a stay at home wife and mother but thought he Couldn’t afford it. We have NO lack and have been abundantly blessed. God makes a way for His plans for real.
Oh sis, your comment blesses me so much……my heart yearns to be home I feel so empty and unfulfilled by working and am not happy…hubby continues to tell me that I do not have to work but I know this needs to be a planned off ramping….I hope to stop working fully in the next 3 years….
@@homewithellieb why wait 3 years if your husband is saying you don't have to work now. I would give it 6 months to a year. Within that year don't spend your money save it and let hubby pay the bills. See where he is in 6 months to a year. If he struggled the entire time you can regroup but you will also have your money that you saved as a backup.
Thank you so much for sharing this truth. I too am currently a single stay at home mom of three. I have received a lot of “confusion” from others. God’s will can surpass every single roadblock, all he asks for in return is full trust as his plan unfolds 🙏🏽🤍
@@denise4263 keep up the good work. sometimes I have to just say out loud "Lord I trust you". It may not make sense to others but rest assured that God is the perfect planner.
I work part time outside of the home to help with bills while my husband continues to build his business. I wish I could be home all the time. There’s so many skills I’d like to add depth to… sewing, dress making, baking, and having more devotional time. I totally get fulfillment when everything is in order. It’s hard not to get influenced by the world to “ put the child in day care and go full time” or do more more more. Thank you for this encouragement.
@@chrisharris2367 nothing just expensive and I’m very weary about people that watch my child. But if it’s what y’a gotta do no shame in that. It has its benefits to a degree, I’m sure.
I am a new mom to an amazing child and am always torn between having to drop her off at a daycare or just focus on her. I love being at home and enjoys taking care of it but society is so dismissive. I thank God for having a supportive and great husband.
GOD Gave You Part Time For A Reason Your Home Family Need You Too Building A Home Makes For Great Kids And Spouse Not Always But It Helps To Come Home To A Home Of Comfort And Love Is Everything Because Of All That Goes On In This World This Does Not Mean Women Who Work Outside The Home Are Any Less But If You Have Days Of The Week Weekend To Take Care Of Home Please Do Let Family Come First❤️
@Charity Speaks well, for me I'm way better at money making than at being compassionate and joyful about staying at home. On top of that, constant stay at home just puts me down regularly whenever I try it for too long, so I wouldn't mind being the money maker, while my hubbie in the future would want to stay at home and make home, if he's gifted to do so. I can absolutely cook and clean and make ambience, but it only comes as pleasure and fulfillment from time to time. When I actually have time off. Every single day of stay at home and so on is definitely not what I'm created for. And it shows. That's why I either need a hubbie that we will this or that way partner together at making home a lovely place, embracing of what we are both gifted with, or he can stay at home if he craves to, since I don't have issue to work hard/smart. I also believe that since each of us is created to be the best we can be to the world, I trust it's good to let work those who love it and let stay at home those who clearly vibe with it. ❤️
If you could you find a work from home part time job that pays similar to your in person job that might help. I realized that I like working outside the home as long as it’s part time and not too demanding. The remaining time I spend at home home making. I just can’t stay at home 7 days a week but if I were to have a child I’d definitely choose a remote position.
As a mother of two boys, this video really resonated with me for two reasons: 1. I want my sons to crave ‘home’ when they are older and relate the feelings of home to being well fed, well loved and comfortable. I want them to grow up and live their lives as men but I never want them to forget the love and support I will always have for them. 2. I fear that I may never have a daughter to pass these legacies down to. I know society these days tells us that boys can be homemakers and take on that role and that’s fine, but it’s not the same as passing these special things that I do down to a daughter. I love my sons enormously and would never replace them with a daughter but I just pray that in the future God gives me the opportunity to teach my daughter the ways you have so eloquently described ❤️
Don't forget that Ruth and Naomi were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and they had a beautiful, life long relationship. You never know, you may have the opportunity to pour into and give legacy type gifts to your daughters-in-law and perhaps even granddaughters. And thats all of God doesnt choose to give you yet more children one of which could be a daughter. :)
I also have that "fear" of not having a daughter, especially because on my husband's side; there many boys. I too have 2 boys. But over the past 3 years, God has done such a great work in me as a wife and homemaker that I really want to pass it down. I'm also praying to God for a new generation of godly women to come out of me 🙏
My MIL was a homemaker and had two sons, and no daughters. Part of the reason my husband was so open to the idea of my staying at home even before we had children was that his mother normalized it. You are paving the way for your future daughters in law to be a blessing to your sons, and also to be blessed to have the option to choose homemaking.
I'm 38 no children . But still going on as I do. I'm learning how to can foods and quilting . Atleast it'll be there if a niece or nephew have a desire to learn in 20 yrs lol 😂
The talk about legacies reminds me of New Orleans. When you look around the city you see Spanish architecture, but the spirit of the city is French. Spanish men married French women and built Spanish buildings, but their children were raised speaking French, learning French manners, and eating French cuisine. It's a French city because of the women!
My mom quilted, canned food, sewed dresses for us. She was an amazing cook, I have so many of her recipes that I still prepare. I miss her. Wow!! Legacy builder! I want to hold on to this when I feel discouraged because my friends work and I’m a stay at home mom. Your videos are so so encouraging! I’m so happy I found your channel! Blessings sister ♥️
So many women have been made to feel that homemaking was not valued by their spouse. I can remember when I was asked "what have you been doing all day?". What?!! Look around you. The house is clean. Meal on the stove Laundry done...? His friends had wives that worked outside the home and homemaking was a "lick and a promise's Especially. if guest was coming overj His friends bragged about where their wives worked but cheated repeatedly on the as well. .
I'm currently learning how to can foods lol I'm 38 but plan on passing tradition on. Quilting is next! Lol I'm not religious but spiritual . I wear long dresses and long hair. Min make up. But I'm still "hip," lol 😂
I love this.. The problem is many of us have been deeply brainwashed into thinking that homemaking is not important or valuable.. the biggest lie ever, This is why we have a generation of women who will be diligent in their careers but not know a thing about homemaking skills.. I was that woman. Praise God he is converting me and I want to start a new legacy for my family.. Powerful video!
Many of us also have been brainwashed into thinking that our value lies in how much money we can contribute to the household. The feminist movement really destroyed womanhood. It had been drilled into my head from young to go to school and get a job, go to school and get a job, no mention of marriage, family, home life. Just make money and try fit in happiness somewhere.
Yes me too, even in college I was calling home asking how to bake a potato (we didn't have the internet, lol😳😅). So funny and now I really want my girls to learn homemaking but I realize I barely know how. I mean, yes, more than I did before, but that encouragement to go the extra mile was convicting.
When I would meet women and they’d ask what I did, I’d say I’m raising our children and caring for our home. But when they found out I had a master’s degree, they were suddenly impressed - as though that was more noteworthy. I have poured myself into raising God-honoring children. They are my life’s work.
As a young woman it is so refreshing and lovely to see an older sister to look up to in the role I feel called to as well. I find that most people will tell you that they want to "get over" the cleaning or dinner so that they can find fulfillment in what they really want to do. And I find it really beautiful watching your video where you're just diligently and slowly working through cleaning or baking something. To find fulfillment in service for others rings so true and brings so much peace! Thank you for sharing this message 😊💗
You are SO right. This is exactly what my great grandmother did. That’s all she ever wanted was to have a big family and take care of her household and community. She is the one who gave my family tradition and legacy. Her work was very important and the effects of her work lives on through us today along with all of her memories. Thank you for this lovely message.
Truly. Fascinating. When God places a call on our lives, it's not only beneficial to self but the many others assigned to you. We are all just a link in a long legacy chain, Christ's legacy. ♡
Always remember when someone asks you what you do never say “ I’m JUST a stay at home mom. We sometimes reinforce the negative views of homemaking ourselves.
I honestly love your videos! I've recently become a house wife at 24 years old and I'm currently expecting our first baby. I've never truly felt fulfilled working outside the home, so I'm learning alot of new things being at home in this season. Thanks for giving such a refreshing perspective of this season. I struggle to let people know im a house wife at times but I'll get there eventually.
You are a homemaker. You are providing a place of rest for your husband, family and friends. A house can be any shelter, but a home is a place of refuge. It doesn’t matter the size of your home, it matters how people feel when they walk through the door. You can manage your home so that it is peaceful and comfortable. Congratulations on your growing family. Don’t let anyone question your purpose or role as a stay at home wife/mother.
Having a mom/wife that can stay home is absolutely valuable and a blessing. If you are providing home cooked meals your family will be healthier. As your kids get older, if they come home after school and they’re home with their mom, they’re gonna be getting their homework done and staying out of trouble. When their home is clean and organized they are going to feel more stable.
Amen sis! Well said! I feel such peace in my soul listening to this message. I can’t wait for my Kingdom husband to find me so I can begin my journey as a homemaker for my family in Jesus Christ name. 🙏🏽
I'm an aspiring homemaker (working homemaker) and I absolutely love this! I've had the call to be a homemaker in my heart since I was young. I didn't get much time with my mother because she had to work all the time and I didn't get the chance to really know her until I became an adult. I didn't want that for my children. I truly want to be in a position where my home is my work/job but right now, I am balancing both employment and parenthood alone. I will continue to pray that God would bless me with this desire if it's His will.
On sewing.. its also just a cool practical skill. Being able to mend a broken seam, replace a button is just a good sustainability practise. Its a feminine DIY.
I love what's being shared in this video. I have mixed feelings and am currently sitting on the fence. I was a SAHM for my older children. It was very pleasant, but relationship with Christ wasn't developed. Eventually as they grew older, they went into school, and I went back into my career as career development professional. They are in their early teens now, and my husband and I have had another one, so I'm back at home again with an infant. I don't miss the hustle and bustle of going out into the world for my career, but being at home again with a young baby seems all so new. I haven't found that footing nor that peace yet. I feel very disorderly, and there is so much work to do. My husband doesn't want me to go back to work. I like making money. Being on leave has changed our finances. I appreciate the clarity you have regarding your purpose. I've prayed about it. The Lord is faithful, and I know he will make the way for me. Your videos have been encouraging. Thank you.
Have you thought about maybe starting a home business? Or getting a job online where you can stay home? I think those would be great options for your current lifestyle.
@@doll.ov.poetrii4682 Yes. These options are the way to go. I just need peace and order. God is faithful, and day by day, I'm getting a handle on my responsibility. I know it will work out. Thank you for your encouragement.
@@doll.ov.poetrii4682 Luckily after Covid my company let us stay home, while I would never be a full time home maker I like working from. I like having a career, money, health insurance, a pension and social security benefits. It’s only 3 of us in the house so the place stays clean, I only cook 3 times a week my husband cooks on Wednesday. We share the housework.
@@cindyben3089 That sounds wonderful! I find it harder and harder to show up for jobs lately and would rather work from home now permanently. My husband offered, and we've agreed that I will soon be transitioning into a homemaker. There's a sense of serenity that comes over you when you're home becomes your managed oasis! Although being a full time homemaker isn't your cup of tea, it's nice to see that your arrangement makes you happy and gives you more flexibility.☺️
This is so refreshing ❤️🙏🏽 wow I’m Newly married (8 months in) and I’m an attorney. I still work but I still come home and make dinner and I clean because it brings me true fulfillment. More fulfillment than my career because seeing my husband eat something I made makes my heart happy! I clean throughout the week and on the weekends. Even though we both work, my job is soft and easy while he works 12 hour days and fights traffic.
Love this!!! Wow that statement your friend said really hit me like “Wow!” Let me tell you I am a homemaker and am sooooo fulfilled being home, taking care of my home, laundry, homeschooling my children and taking care of my babies. There is nothing better out there than doing what the Lord has laid out in His Word for women to do. Satan is still whispering “Did God really say?” to women today and that is why feminism is rampant across this world and has infiltrated the churches. Thank you for being a strong voice for truth!!!
This made me cry and I thanked The Lord. He makes all things new. I just admitted to Him that I never wanted something else then to be loved by Him and be a homemaker, a wife (hopefully in the future) and a fulltime mother for my kid(s)
I am not a housewife but I am a home maker. I think God gifts women this special ability. The quality work done within the home cannot be over estimated. I like your content. Greetings from Nigeria
I agree with you, I've never been more fulfilled than being a SAHM, and it's not just taking care of my baby but also taking care of my home and husband. Every night I get so much satisfaction after dinner is done and the kitchen is clean, waters are filled, the lights are turned down and we're just spending time together for the last hour before bed 💕
People are entitled to be passionate about whatever they want to be passionate about. You are passionate about being a homemaker, hence the reason you felt unfulfilled in doing work outside the home. The career woman might be passionate about her career. I feel it is wrong for persons to look down on or belittle others' passion because it is different than their own: doing so could be considered a form of ethnocentrism. I also consider it a lack of respect for boundaries. I am a career woman who also enjoys taking care of my home. My home is my happy place. I absolutely love your videos.
Same. I did very important work outside the home. I helped low-income families through my nonprofit work. Families that were broken and struggling to get by. To say that I was working just for the company CEO’s paycheck is a broad generalization. I couldn’t relate to that statement.
I'm happy I learned how to sew from my mother who used to repair clothes for our family and other church families. I learned how to use a sewing machine in school in textile class. I'm grateful for that as I hope to be repairing holes and buttons before I buy new and 'live out my purpose' 😊
Really love this! As someone who watches the Real Housewives franchise, I love the way you are taking back what it means to be a wife who doesn’t work outside the home, ie a homemaker
What I'd give to stay home and be a woman all day. I have taken sewing classes and baking courses and I love to do those things. I'm not very good at sewing but that doesn't stop me.I work now because we simply can't afford life right now on one salary. But I revel in homemaking...baking, cleaning, cooking, being the comforter for my son, smelling feminine, I get endless joy and fulfillment from those things.... The tender of flowers and herbs in the pots, I love it.
Really good stuff, thank you for this ♥️ New housewife and it was encouraging and refreshing to hear you expound on it. I think if we’re honest, there’s something about it that feels more natural to us as women than working a stressful corporate M-F job. I worked a high stress career for years. Definitely still on the learning curve with staying at home😅 but I feel more natural in this role. And I can’t help but think about Titus 2, the older women are instructed to teach the younger women “to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, HOMEMAKERS…” It’s biblical, that’s why it feels natural.
I want to agree because homemaking is biblical. But i pray every single day for God to give me the love and natural intuition of homemaking. I believe and know one of these days it will come. Even though it's been 15 years... one day, I will get there 😅💜
Really enjoyed this. The work of a God fearing wife and mother builds stabilized foundations for the generations to come. To devalue these roles is to not know value at all. The word says not to argue with fools and that I shall not do. Keep up the good work. I’m 25 and recently married, and your channel is inspiring. 💕
I love the idea of tradition making in the "feminine arts". My grandmother and mother and aunts ALL have contributed to the holiday meals I create and have already passed down to my eldest daughter. I remember calling my grandma asking her how to make something she was known for cooking or baking. Sooo many wonderful memories associated with food and fellowship. This is what I've began with my family. EVERY holiday is celebrated and we have continued some traditions and tweaked others and created new ones. Your children will THANK YOU for your consistency in these things. i makeover my kids' rooms as they grow. THAT'S my new tradition. Usually for a teen birthday they get a make over that will take them to high school graduation. Make memories and have fun doing it! 😊
I love this so so much…..at 47 and have worked since I was 15 years old, my entire life I have daydreamed about being able to be a homemaker full time. I regret so much time missed with my children. I look forward to watching all of your videos and really getting too there bottom of why I have not taken the steps to not work….is it fear of loosing power, greed of the money I make, or simply not trusting that the Lord will provide fully with one income….
This was an absolutely amazing sit down chat sis. As a young wife myself and looking to start our family this year....I have learned sooooo much about being that biblical woman but also how to properly handle the different aspects of this very amazing role as a wife and keeping balance of everything in our home. It's very rewarding and God has given me soooo much more grace and gentleness. Thank you so much for all the great things your sharing here for us. Be blessed. 🙏🏾🥰 And I will certainly support your shop. Especially since I've been looking for more black owned business to support. ❤️❤️
I love every one of your videos that I’ve watched, can’t stop watching the last few days. 😄 I wish there were more women like you on UA-cam. Thank you for doing what you do, putting these videos out there.
I love coming back to your videos whenever I feel frustrated and overwhelmed in my home. Sometimes I feel it’s unfair my husband has more liberty when it comes to handling the kids but then I remember what the Bible says and I know how rewarding my hard work will be in the end! A man cannot do anything well without his helper!
I am a hospice oncology nurse who works two days per week. I primarily view myself as a homemaker though, and I find JUST AS MUCH satisfaction taking care of my family as I do taking care of my patients. Essentially at the end of the day, we are spreading our love to others and that’s what it’s all about ❤️❤️❤️
Hi there i agree with everything you have said. I was a stay at home mom till my children started school 22yrs ago. i was never board or felt like i was missing out on anything. i started working because i wanted things (material) that my husband couldn't afford. He could afford for me to stay at home, he could pay ALL of the bills but i wanted STUFF!!! i know that's dumb but i did. I took pride in the care of my home and family. cooking 3 hot meals a day i enjoyed. My children didn't know what cold cereal was until middle school. This day i want to come back home and all of our children are grown and gone, and people ask me why do you want to be home? you don't even have any children at home. I enjoyed taking care of my husband. We joke now on days that i call out or take off i cook a huge meal with desert included and the house stays clean i greet him at the door with a huge hug and kiss, btw I'm smelling good and looking fine as ever.(smile). He smells the food and see a clean home plus dessert, he always says man i need to bring you back home and i say i agree. I just like stuff and when im done getting stuff or paying off the bills i have created then i will return to being a domestic engineer. I love seeing the huge smile on his face when he comes home to order, and not having to worry about what i.ve been doing all day, or whos business i'm in. Thanks for this i am enjoying your content. I have been married for 27yrs this November 4kids and 7 grandbabies.
Amen!! Our culture has been- and now faster than ever- losing the means to conserve tradition--inspiring others to return to a lifestyle that you describe gives me hope for all of us. I believe the church can model this spirit at a broader level as well, incorporating singles and neighbors in a way that preserves relationships for years to come.
Love this! I feel it too! I had one friend describe me as an uncluttered person, which was meant as a great compliment, and I know its because I am satisfied in being a homemaker and feel such purpose in it and am content in mastering it.
My mother was a stay at home mom. She bartered with other moms. My Sis & I took piano lessons in exchange for my mom doing laundry for another mom. Once we were all in school, she followed us & taught reading in the school library. My Sis did the same thing with her girls. I would think I would have done the same, had if we had kids.
Love this video! I've worked the jobs and always struggled. With keeping up with my career, and then coming home and keeping up with my family. It always made me feel so sad, exhausted and unfulfilled. Now I work from home, at my own pace for a great boss. And still have plenty of time and energy to keep my family, and my home. Sometimes my husband says why don't you go out with your girls? I do every now and again. But what you're talking about, getting to care of my home and my family on a daily basis is my greatest joy. ❤️
Right in this moment I’m so emotional listening to this video. You are speaking directly to my heart. The Most High put me in this position to be a housewife for a reason. Thank you so much for this.
You put so much clarity on this topic for me. I am a new homemaker/wife/stay at home mom and I love it. But sometimes many feelings of self doubt and guilt come over me to the point where I break down because I feel what I do isn't enough compared to the work my husband does for our family. The problem is the way I think. I've been praying for God to help me get out of this mindset. Now I've found your channel and I'm glad. It is such a blessing to me, especially in this chapter of my life. And I appreciate you for encouraging women to read their Bibles and remind us that our home is a reflection of who we are on the inside. A relationship with our Heavenly Father is one of the most important parts of being able to successfully take on this wonderful role as a woman.
You are blessed to be full of wisdom I pray the lord blesses me with such wisdom too. I am a young mum of a newborn and toddler and have felt like I’m drowning but I am starting to accept my role as a homemaker and your videos make it such an easy transition. I didn’t grow up with my mother or a consistent female role model so I’m having to learn a lot of these skills
You seem to really enjoy your life as a homemaker and housewife. It's a big world with a lot of choices and the "default" of one's social sphere doesn't fit everyone. I can relate to that. I am a single, child-free lesbian who originally watched your content for loc content. I work and I think I'll always work- my job is hard and makes me feel broken and less on bad days, but good moments with my patients do make me feel fulfilled. They make me feel like flying. On the weekend when I'm off I do this thing where I'm my own housewife... honestly that gives me deep fulfillment too, and in a different way than work does! I look at my clean home and feel deeply connected to my femininity, which is my core. The calmness and serenity of the weekend carries me through the week, and I love coming home to my clean, feminine home and family of me and my bird children. I'm saying all this to say that there are a lot of ways to be a woman. Though the faith based life of submission to God first and then family will never be my ministry, I think we both love our homes and making them beautiful because we understand that peace begins at home. And I think that's really cool.
Your perspective intrigues me Amanda, as I had a very similar perspective growing up. I am curious what makes you say submission to God first could never be your ministry?
All I have to say is “Amen and amen”❤You are totally in my brain and consistently share what is on my heart. Titus 3 forever changed my life for and our legacy.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Since COVID, my desire to SAH has increased into what I’ve been calling an obsession. Thanks for giving an honest open dialogue for those of us who are interested in making the change
I thank God for you sooo much! You are truly a blessing 🙌 I'm a new wife and homemaker to an absolutely amazing man. Your videos teach me so many things I've never knew. I just want to encourage you to continue what you are doing because God is speaking through you and shaping wives and homemakers to be more like Christ! I love you sister, Glory to God!
Thank you Bindi, if you don’t like to sew or aren’t any good then try something different that your interested in more and may be better at. I grew up in a family where my mother and sister sewed but had trouble with making something one dimensional go to three dimensional.i got a sewing machine when I got married and wanted to sew well but couldn’t So I learned to mend by sewing old clothes then made small quilts with old clothing and that saved money and eventually learned to sew some things like aprons and girls little dresses but that took a while. But then I moved to a cold climate instead I learned to spin wool and knit from scratch and it saved money and made happy memories going to sheep and wool festivals with my family on Mother’s Day weekend. I love these posts of yours dear because you are right on with all of thiS.💕😊
"Homemakers are the "stuff" of legacy and lineage." This is a whole sermon. I, fortunately, grew up in a traditional household with a father who was bread winner and a mother who was largely a homemaker. She didn't really work outside the home consistently until we were in middle school. She made most of our dresses, and even her own. She crocheted and knitted. We ate home cooked meals every night, at home, as a family around the table - not in front of the TV - where we talked about our day. She made a fabulous dessert every week. She gardened and canned excess for out of season. She made jellies and preserves, pickles, applesauce, canned fruits in syrup, baked homemade bread, and so much more. She taught us many things in the way of home economics and homemaking, except for sewing - she said that she couldn't get or keep us interested in it. 🤷♀ But I thank you so much for this video.
Thank you for this. I listened to the entirety. I am a social worker and I am a pastor's wife. I worked several types of jobs before being married and then went part-time with my first child. I never felt more fulfilled and "having it all" than when I decided to stay home with my children (now 2 girls). People say it's about having money in order to be home but I was home when my husband lost his great paying job and had to work two jobs til God changed everything and BOTH of us will never regret me being home. So many women throw insults at those who stay home but I certainly don't have any judgment for the women who work outside of the home. God knows all things, but I asked God to keep us until things God better. He blessed my husband to start a business and gave us a large contract and many others. I assist him where I can in the business with my other talents, but he carries the bulk. The days where I only need to focus on the house and kids and him, I feel the most fulfilled. Now as a pastor's wife, God is shifting things again. We just move with it.
You have such a beautiful way of explaining things. I’m a home maker/stay at home mom and I don’t think I’ve ever said that with pride until after I saw this video.
I am a mother of two who also works from home. To simply give a little bit of a background, I've made over 6 figures annually and work with very demanding clients; however I've always admired the woman who were able to juggle the home. Now that I am doing both (homeschooling and still wfh), I've had to heal the societal pressure to prove what I do all day. To heal the perfectionism and validation from others that I do enough. Its a journey to shift your mindset from social norms of value to the heart's value of true worthiness. I had to change my perspective to see that the value came from how my children's hearts will be impacted by the small gestures and the mental acuity that comes to them being in a clean & organized home.
I wish clothes like you’re showing were sold in my contry. So hard to find something like it in one place. I have to pick different places, and mix together. But it’s not easy.
I tried to like this video 20 different times every time you said something that I thought "YES" to! Woman truly are serving our lineage in such an impactful way & I've always felt that. Thank you for putting it to words.
This video is absolutely lovely in so many ways🥰! I too feel fulfilled in my work at home and I wouldn't change it for the world. That is not to say that I do not have fun with the insensitive question of "What do you do?" My response is" I am a Domestic Engineer. I do all things!" 🤣 I leave them with that and keep it moving. It's pure entertainment watching the confused looks. God Bless you ❤
Bindi, you inspire me every day and I thank you for that. I have been working full time, but my desire is to be a home maker. I am excited that in March I will get to go part time, so I can then be a home maker while still being able to help my husband with finances. I am learning so much from you. I do not have anything that was passed down to me, not even recipes. I had zero female adults in my life growing up, and my dad was abusive, so now I am learning how to be a woman of God. I desire more than anything to be able to have the role of home maker and I pray daily about it.
Thank you for your ministry to women! I have never been more fulfilled than when I'm following God's family structure as stated in His Word, and as a homemaker. I worked jobs for years, but this is far better! It helped me a lot, to significantly declutter and reduce the amount of inventory in my home to what I can manage. I'm now expecting our first child and can look forward to that with joy and anticipation instead of dread of "how can I possibly do this?" On the subject of sewing...I grew up with a family legacy of sewing as a skill, but I have really started embracing it the last few years. I've been looking for modest dresses locally, but because of a lack of options, have begun to sew my own. I can make them however I want, with modesty, femininity, beauty and comfort in mind. It's been fun! I hope you can discover the joy of creating, especially in the vacuum of good options! God bless!
In another video you also mentioned that you know that its good work for you if at the end of the day you are not drained. Everything else that I worked before or even school drained me tremendously. Even the thought of having to find a career (that makes money) that fits me and is fun for me drained me so much and was another factor for me spiraling down into depression. Honestly I'm forever grateful that Jesus found me and picked me up and is now teaching me (through women like you also) what it means to be a WOMAN and homemaking etc. I am a homemaker now and my boyfriend is so supportive as well. The more I go into it and live it the happier I feel. I feel so much more freedom now that I can do and enjoy these women things without feel ashamed for it. Thank you for sharing so that woman who don't have any other woman in their life as help/role model can still learn.
Amen!!! So good and I feel the exact same way as you! I struggle some days but the Lord helps me through his word and encouraging women like you to be reminded my home making and mothering is a holy work and so impactful. And I truly do feel so fulfilled in it. Thank you for this video and God bless you and your family.
RECIPES: I have several legacy recipes that I make with my kids and my husband's grandmother and mother. I cherish the many memories we have making these dishes and sharing these dishes. I HIGHLY recommend gathering favorite recipes from family IN THEIR HANDWRITING. I lost my mother but I get to see and touch her handwriting in the recipes she gave me through my life before losing her. I now make sure I have the handwritten recipes from family and friends
Love love love your content! I'm a single mother though and still take pride in keeping my house up as well as making sure my kids get home cooked meals and tended to! It's hard but that's my priority and then work outside my home come after that I try to keep things in order like we were insteucted to do. I listen to you as I clean and it really do help me stay motivated to keep to my duties while also being prepared for if and when I do marry if the Lord see fit 🤲🏽
Love your videos! I really believe God put them in my path for a reason. I really struggle with the feeling of anger and resentment with housekeeping. I think sometimes it’s just programmed into some of us that it’s a punishment. Praying your videos can help make a change in my life ❤️🙏
God bless you!🙏😁 And to God be the Glory for blessing you. You are living the way GOD ordained a wife to be..Help meet, guide the house, loving your husband and children etc...A PROVERBs 31 woman. The women working outside of the home have no energy left to fulfill all of the things required by God and the examples that you have set before us. Be encouraged, God bless you for your example, good job! I appreciate seeing the work that you're doing, by videos, you're not just talking. I'm praying for you and I THANK YOU!🙏😁
I enjoyed this entire video but especially when you spoke about legacies and lineages I never thought about it from that perspective. I did grow up in a Christian foundation as a child. My mother was a single parent, but my grandmother moved to the state where my mom and I were located and while my mom worked and attended school to provide my grandmother would cook breakfast lunch and dinner and during those times we would have bible study . Grandmother would lead out in song and prayer. Maybe bible study was 30minutes to an hour. I would read the word as well and sometimes pray. Then I would either go back outside and play or stay indoors. Her homecooked meals were my alarms. She would also clean almost each morning with pinsol and /or bleach and air out the house.Sometimes I would be annoyed by all the bible studies per day but I'm thankful for it now. I want to do the same with my future children and husband during mornings and nights when he's home.
I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and bought the audible version of the book. THANK YOU for putting these videos together. Although I'm following the author's daughter on Instagram, I receive far more easily from you (even if you're sending the same message). I'd always been a career woman, in stockbroking and project management (never had the desire or temperament for children)... but you (and the book) are putting a valuable message across which I wish I'd found years ago - I'm soaking these up daily.
When asked what I do, I say that I am a homemaker/house wife. If they ask from there well what does that mean or why don’t I have a real job, I’ll tell them I’m walking in the calling that GOD created for women!!!… I’m fulfilling the mandate he placed on women as wives, mothers… GOD gave us the greatest portion he could ever give us except salvation and I thank him DAILY for the opportunity to be a wife and a mother and homemaker… To see the joy on my children’s face to have mommy home and to love on them, to educate them and to train them up in the way they should go… The satisfaction I get from my husband showing his appreciation for EVERYTHING that I do in the home/bedroom… lol it’s so true Bindi when you said there is no job that could give me that… Being a nurse to someone else is fulfilling but when it compares to being that and more to my family hits completely different…
I'm telling you God led me st8 to your channel! I am enjoying every single video. Glory to God for using you to help women!! God bless u woman of God. Keep um coming!
I thought I was the being crazy thinking this way. There is just something fulfilling about homemaking. So glad I found your channel ♥️ Thank you for sharing the wisdom and knowledge you share. We are learning 🙏🏾
This is the exact content I need for the stage I'm currently in. I'm in a courtship and we're working towards marriage. I desire to be a homemaker and homeschool our future children. However, there's a bit of guilt there because I have student loans and other debt that I'm working to pay off and I really don't want my husband to have to be responsible for it if I'm not earning income. I would love to hear your thoughts and wisdom on that
Hi Bindi, Your video just flashed in my UA-cam and you can never imagine how much I am being blessed and learning through your mind, very very inspiring and you are speaking my mind.. I absolutely love you for being so detailed in everything you do and think that only brings glory and honour to the Lord Jesus Christ ❤ You are amazing !! Keep going..! I’m from India 🇮🇳 saying hi to your lil gal who walks around while you speak❤
I am a single woman and homeowner. And for the last 2 years, I truly have felt a sense of joy and fulfillment from doing work in my home. I like my job, but it doesn’t give me the joy that homemaking does. I thank The Lord for giving me that spirit of contentment even as a single woman. Because I know that feeling will only grow stronger once I am a wife and mother!
As a psychotherapist , I’ve had female clients share with me that some of their friends speak dismissively of them for staying home with children. Why is it that satisfaction is marketed as primary coming from outside the home? First wave feminism was about women having the rights to work inside or outside the home. Let’s value women that desire to stay home to work with the same energy that we value women that go out to work.
👏❤
Feminism is a political movement. It was never meant to benefit women but only the government and large profit making corporations. Yes I do agree that there are a few good things have come out of it but mostly it was meant to create a barrier between the man and the woman thereby leading to destruction of the family system and lineage.
❤️❤️❤️
Why should women be forced to work outside? Being a homemaker is a priceless job and for as long as the couple can afford it, women should be allowed to be a homemaker. Life as a women is definitely not easy. Besides the childbearing duties, a homemaker actually keeps the house in order so that the kids and her husband have a comfortable place to rest.
There's nothing that brings me so much fulfillment and satisfaction than when at the end of the day I sit down at my kitchen table with my bible and a cup of chamomile tea 🍵, hymn instrumental playing in the background knowing that I've served my husband and children to the best of my ability; as to the Lord. What a great honor!!
Amen
Great that's good and I'm happy for you, if that's what truly makes you happy, and I'm also happy for working women as well if they want to go out of the house, have a career/job if that's what makes them happy, but men in the Bible just want to make ALL THEIR WIVES slaves, penniless people and doormats and lock them up in the house all day. SMH.
@@ms.zelman3032 where exactly in the Bible? I'd like to read about it.
@@namakulak.9953 Women have to work at home according to Christians. Homemakers do not earn one penny you fool. Slaves also never earned one penny.
@@namakulak.9953 Women are not allowed to have careers or be in any position of authority. That's also in the Bible.
I agree when my home is clean and dinner is made and homework is complete i feel like superwoman! Honestly!
right!
I know the feeling
Exactly…..like our Lord has put this desire in our hearts….in our DNA…HE IS SO GOOD!
That is such a powerful role I really appreciate the value of the homeworker illustrated in this video presentation I am a husband and father of 4 children..God has made woman and man to reflect his character and glory my greatest thanks to the presenter of this video ..more than 12 years into my marriage i never made a conscious effort to define roles(much everything was assumed )and Lord is currently working in our family at this very moment I now have greater respect for the homemaker "the women" a complimentary God like nature of our Savior doing so much unfortunately much of time unnoticed or appreciated by most receivers of the blessing..this video makes me want to honor more the role God has assigned in family in term legacy mentioned here...women never should be ashamed or give up their God given birth right.. remember as well said in the video grown man have been known to cry out to you mothers in the midst of fetal crises such as in times of war..you women have a powerful role...please fully embrace it for the sake of God's glory and our society. Today unfortunately the modern woman has taken up the role as a part-time hobby or altogether neglect this vital role. However to rest of you whom unfortunately get neglected by your husband/peers recall we are the ones missing out please continue be patient with us until we get it for His(God's)glory.. As a father of 2 daughters 3 and 12 years old I sincerely pray for wisdom since both their parents are behind and are just now making effort to do it according to God's word/philosophy. Please pray myself and wife. THANK YOU ALL&GOD BLESS ALL THE VIEWERS OF THIS CHANNEL. 🙏🏿
@@homewithellieb A desire to be locked up in the house all day and cater to your husband and not make a penny in this life relying on your husband for income. How good.
I come from a lineage of women who resented their homemaking. I feel it I’m my bones now I’m a mother. There’s this emptiness around what to do and how. I grew up watching my mother chastise and constantly yell at my father.
I long and will do everything in my power to right this disturbance to the mother’s role.
I also grew up without Christ.
Now he as entered our lives and oh did the devil make himself known.
We struggle but the power of the Lord will get us through this.
Thank you Bindi
Sis, you really won't be able to comprehend the magnitude of what you are doing in your lifetime! Not only are you directly impacting your lineage, but also mine, those who are watching your videos & the countless of women who are indirectly influenced by of us who watch! I praise God for your obedience to share these well needed nuggets that seemed to have disappeared through the generations!
May God continue to bless your ministry. 🙏 I love you!
Scrubbing your own toilet clean is very fulfilling. Cleaning and tidying your home at your own relaxed pace is therapeutic and peaceful. I love it!
Even as a single mother I was a stay at home mother and I still can’t explain exactly how. God will make sure that His Will goes forth. My husband always wanted a stay at home wife and mother but thought he Couldn’t afford it. We have NO lack and have been abundantly blessed. God makes a way for His plans for real.
Oh sis, your comment blesses me so much……my heart yearns to be home I feel so empty and unfulfilled by working and am not happy…hubby continues to tell me that I do not have to work but I know this needs to be a planned off ramping….I hope to stop working fully in the next 3 years….
@@homewithellieb why wait 3 years if your husband is saying you don't have to work now. I would give it 6 months to a year. Within that year don't spend your money save it and let hubby pay the bills. See where he is in 6 months to a year. If he struggled the entire time you can regroup but you will also have your money that you saved as a backup.
Yes I totally relate, praise be to God!😁👍
Thank you so much for sharing this truth. I too am currently a single stay at home mom of three. I have received a lot of “confusion” from others. God’s will can surpass every single roadblock, all he asks for in return is full trust as his plan unfolds 🙏🏽🤍
@@denise4263 keep up the good work. sometimes I have to just say out loud "Lord I trust you". It may not make sense to others but rest assured that God is the perfect planner.
I work part time outside of the home to help with bills while my husband continues to build his business. I wish I could be home all the time. There’s so many skills I’d like to add depth to… sewing, dress making, baking, and having more devotional time. I totally get fulfillment when everything is in order. It’s hard not to get influenced by the world to “ put the child in day care and go full time” or do more more more. Thank you for this encouragement.
@@chrisharris2367 nothing just expensive and I’m very weary about people that watch my child. But if it’s what y’a gotta do no shame in that. It has its benefits to a degree, I’m sure.
I am a new mom to an amazing child and am always torn between having to drop her off at a daycare or just focus on her. I love being at home and enjoys taking care of it but society is so dismissive. I thank God for having a supportive and great husband.
GOD Gave You Part Time For A Reason Your Home Family Need You Too Building A Home Makes For Great Kids And Spouse Not Always But It Helps To Come Home To A Home Of Comfort And Love Is Everything Because Of All That Goes On In This World This Does Not Mean Women Who Work Outside The Home Are Any Less But If You Have Days Of The Week Weekend To Take Care Of Home Please Do Let Family Come First❤️
@Charity Speaks well, for me I'm way better at money making than at being compassionate and joyful about staying at home. On top of that, constant stay at home just puts me down regularly whenever I try it for too long, so I wouldn't mind being the money maker, while my hubbie in the future would want to stay at home and make home, if he's gifted to do so. I can absolutely cook and clean and make ambience, but it only comes as pleasure and fulfillment from time to time. When I actually have time off. Every single day of stay at home and so on is definitely not what I'm created for. And it shows. That's why I either need a hubbie that we will this or that way partner together at making home a lovely place, embracing of what we are both gifted with, or he can stay at home if he craves to, since I don't have issue to work hard/smart. I also believe that since each of us is created to be the best we can be to the world, I trust it's good to let work those who love it and let stay at home those who clearly vibe with it. ❤️
If you could you find a work from home part time job that pays similar to your in person job that might help. I realized that I like working outside the home as long as it’s part time and not too demanding. The remaining time I spend at home home making. I just can’t stay at home 7 days a week but if I were to have a child I’d definitely choose a remote position.
As a mother of two boys, this video really resonated with me for two reasons:
1. I want my sons to crave ‘home’ when they are older and relate the feelings of home to being well fed, well loved and comfortable. I want them to grow up and live their lives as men but I never want them to forget the love and support I will always have for them.
2. I fear that I may never have a daughter to pass these legacies down to. I know society these days tells us that boys can be homemakers and take on that role and that’s fine, but it’s not the same as passing these special things that I do down to a daughter. I love my sons enormously and would never replace them with a daughter but I just pray that in the future God gives me the opportunity to teach my daughter the ways you have so eloquently described ❤️
Don't forget that Ruth and Naomi were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and they had a beautiful, life long relationship. You never know, you may have the opportunity to pour into and give legacy type gifts to your daughters-in-law and perhaps even granddaughters. And thats all of God doesnt choose to give you yet more children one of which could be a daughter. :)
I also have that "fear" of not having a daughter, especially because on my husband's side; there many boys. I too have 2 boys. But over the past 3 years, God has done such a great work in me as a wife and homemaker that I really want to pass it down. I'm also praying to God for a new generation of godly women to come out of me 🙏
My MIL was a homemaker and had two sons, and no daughters. Part of the reason my husband was so open to the idea of my staying at home even before we had children was that his mother normalized it. You are paving the way for your future daughters in law to be a blessing to your sons, and also to be blessed to have the option to choose homemaking.
I'm 38 no children . But still going on as I do. I'm learning how to can foods and quilting . Atleast it'll be there if a niece or nephew have a desire to learn in 20 yrs lol 😂
Its truly a gift! Love your content!
The talk about legacies reminds me of New Orleans. When you look around the city you see Spanish architecture, but the spirit of the city is French. Spanish men married French women and built Spanish buildings, but their children were raised speaking French, learning French manners, and eating French cuisine. It's a French city because of the women!
My mom quilted, canned food, sewed dresses for us. She was an amazing cook, I have so many of her recipes that I still prepare. I miss her. Wow!! Legacy builder! I want to hold on to this when I feel discouraged because my friends work and I’m a stay at home mom. Your videos are so so encouraging! I’m so happy I found your channel! Blessings sister ♥️
So many women have been made to feel that homemaking was not valued by their spouse. I can remember when I was asked "what have you been doing all day?". What?!! Look around you. The house is clean. Meal on the stove
Laundry done...? His friends had wives that worked outside the home and homemaking was a "lick and a promise's Especially. if guest was coming overj His friends bragged about where their wives worked but cheated repeatedly on the as well.
.
I'm currently learning how to can foods lol I'm 38 but plan on passing tradition on. Quilting is next! Lol I'm not religious but spiritual . I wear long dresses and long hair. Min make up. But I'm still "hip," lol 😂
Would love to get those recipes…
I love this.. The problem is many of us have been deeply brainwashed into thinking that homemaking is not important or valuable.. the biggest lie ever, This is why we have a generation of women who will be diligent in their careers but not know a thing about homemaking skills.. I was that woman. Praise God he is converting me and I want to start a new legacy for my family.. Powerful video!
Many of us also have been brainwashed into thinking that our value lies in how much money we can contribute to the household. The feminist movement really destroyed womanhood. It had been drilled into my head from young to go to school and get a job, go to school and get a job, no mention of marriage, family, home life. Just make money and try fit in happiness somewhere.
Yes me too, even in college I was calling home asking how to bake a potato (we didn't have the internet, lol😳😅). So funny and now I really want my girls to learn homemaking but I realize I barely know how. I mean, yes, more than I did before, but that encouragement to go the extra mile was convicting.
When I would meet women and they’d ask what I did, I’d say I’m raising our children and caring for our home. But when they found out I had a master’s degree, they were suddenly impressed - as though that was more noteworthy. I have poured myself into raising God-honoring children. They are my life’s work.
As a young woman it is so refreshing and lovely to see an older sister to look up to in the role I feel called to as well. I find that most people will tell you that they want to "get over" the cleaning or dinner so that they can find fulfillment in what they really want to do. And I find it really beautiful watching your video where you're just diligently and slowly working through cleaning or baking something. To find fulfillment in service for others rings so true and brings so much peace! Thank you for sharing this message 😊💗
You are SO right. This is exactly what my great grandmother did. That’s all she ever wanted was to have a big family and take care of her household and community. She is the one who gave my family tradition and legacy. Her work was very important and the effects of her work lives on through us today along with all of her memories. Thank you for this lovely message.
Truly. Fascinating. When God places a call on our lives, it's not only beneficial to self but the many others assigned to you. We are all just a link in a long legacy chain, Christ's legacy. ♡
Always remember when someone asks you what you do never say “ I’m JUST a stay at home mom. We sometimes reinforce the negative views of homemaking ourselves.
I honestly love your videos! I've recently become a house wife at 24 years old and I'm currently expecting our first baby. I've never truly felt fulfilled working outside the home, so I'm learning alot of new things being at home in this season. Thanks for giving such a refreshing perspective of this season. I struggle to let people know im a house wife at times but I'll get there eventually.
Congratulations!🙂
Beautiful!! Congratulations
You are a homemaker. You are providing a place of rest for your husband, family and friends. A house can be any shelter, but a home is a place of refuge. It doesn’t matter the size of your home, it matters how people feel when they walk through the door. You can manage your home so that it is peaceful and comfortable. Congratulations on your growing family. Don’t let anyone question your purpose or role as a stay at home wife/mother.
@@yahyeet4383 great response ❤️❤️
Congratulations and wonderful!!
Having a mom/wife that can stay home is absolutely valuable and a blessing. If you are providing home cooked meals your family will be healthier. As your kids get older, if they come home after school and they’re home with their mom, they’re gonna be getting their homework done and staying out of trouble. When their home is clean and organized they are going to feel more stable.
Amen sis! Well said! I feel such peace in my soul listening to this message. I can’t wait for my Kingdom husband to find me so I can begin my journey as a homemaker for my family in Jesus Christ name. 🙏🏽
I'm an aspiring homemaker (working homemaker) and I absolutely love this! I've had the call to be a homemaker in my heart since I was young. I didn't get much time with my mother because she had to work all the time and I didn't get the chance to really know her until I became an adult. I didn't want that for my children. I truly want to be in a position where my home is my work/job but right now, I am balancing both employment and parenthood alone. I will continue to pray that God would bless me with this desire if it's His will.
"Ask Him to help you feel satisfied by the work of your hands" this word was for me.
On sewing.. its also just a cool practical skill. Being able to mend a broken seam, replace a button is just a good sustainability practise. Its a feminine DIY.
I am not religious but there is so much value in your channel for me. So much timeless wisdom. Thank you xx
I love what's being shared in this video. I have mixed feelings and am currently sitting on the fence. I was a SAHM for my older children. It was very pleasant, but relationship with Christ wasn't developed. Eventually as they grew older, they went into school, and I went back into my career as career development professional. They are in their early teens now, and my husband and I have had another one, so I'm back at home again with an infant. I don't miss the hustle and bustle of going out into the world for my career, but being at home again with a young baby seems all so new. I haven't found that footing nor that peace yet. I feel very disorderly, and there is so much work to do. My husband doesn't want me to go back to work. I like making money. Being on leave has changed our finances. I appreciate the clarity you have regarding your purpose. I've prayed about it. The Lord is faithful, and I know he will make the way for me. Your videos have been encouraging. Thank you.
Have you thought about maybe starting a home business? Or getting a job online where you can stay home? I think those would be great options for your current lifestyle.
@@doll.ov.poetrii4682 Yes. These options are the way to go. I just need peace and order. God is faithful, and day by day, I'm getting a handle on my responsibility. I know it will work out. Thank you for your encouragement.
May the Lord make it plain.
@@doll.ov.poetrii4682 Luckily after Covid my company let us stay home, while I would never be a full time home maker I like working from. I like having a career, money, health insurance, a pension and social security benefits. It’s only 3 of us in the house so the place stays clean, I only cook 3 times a week my husband cooks on Wednesday. We share the housework.
@@cindyben3089 That sounds wonderful! I find it harder and harder to show up for jobs lately and would rather work from home now permanently. My husband offered, and we've agreed that I will soon be transitioning into a homemaker. There's a sense of serenity that comes over you when you're home becomes your managed oasis! Although being a full time homemaker isn't your cup of tea, it's nice to see that your arrangement makes you happy and gives you more flexibility.☺️
This is so refreshing ❤️🙏🏽 wow I’m Newly married (8 months in) and I’m an attorney. I still work but I still come home and make dinner and I clean because it brings me true fulfillment. More fulfillment than my career because seeing my husband eat something I made makes my heart happy! I clean throughout the week and on the weekends. Even though we both work, my job is soft and easy while he works 12 hour days and fights traffic.
I absolutely feel satisfied and accomplished when I serve in my home.
The cleaning. The cooking. The order of the home. The joy and laughter
Love this!!! Wow that statement your friend said really hit me like “Wow!” Let me tell you I am a homemaker and am sooooo fulfilled being home, taking care of my home, laundry, homeschooling my children and taking care of my babies. There is nothing better out there than doing what the Lord has laid out in His Word for women to do.
Satan is still whispering “Did God really say?” to women today and that is why feminism is rampant across this world and has infiltrated the churches. Thank you for being a strong voice for truth!!!
This made me cry and I thanked The Lord. He makes all things new. I just admitted to Him that I never wanted something else then to be loved by Him and be a homemaker, a wife (hopefully in the future) and a fulltime mother for my kid(s)
I just love these businesswomen who talk about the sanctity and value of the homemaker.
I am not a housewife but I am a home maker. I think God gifts women this special ability. The quality work done within the home cannot be over estimated. I like your content. Greetings from Nigeria
Your videos are all the Titus 2 teaching I never received! Thank you so much for the incredible blessing! My marriage and family thank you, too 💛
I agree with you, I've never been more fulfilled than being a SAHM, and it's not just taking care of my baby but also taking care of my home and husband. Every night I get so much satisfaction after dinner is done and the kitchen is clean, waters are filled, the lights are turned down and we're just spending time together for the last hour before bed 💕
People are entitled to be passionate about whatever they want to be passionate about. You are passionate about being a homemaker, hence the reason you felt unfulfilled in doing work outside the home. The career woman might be passionate about her career. I feel it is wrong for persons to look down on or belittle others' passion because it is different than their own: doing so could be considered a form of ethnocentrism. I also consider it a lack of respect for boundaries. I am a career woman who also enjoys taking care of my home. My home is my happy place. I absolutely love your videos.
Same. I did very important work outside the home. I helped low-income families through my nonprofit work. Families that were broken and struggling to get by. To say that I was working just for the company CEO’s paycheck is a broad generalization. I couldn’t relate to that statement.
Your baby is beautiful,her hair is lovely
I'm happy I learned how to sew from my mother who used to repair clothes for our family and other church families. I learned how to use a sewing machine in school in textile class. I'm grateful for that as I hope to be repairing holes and buttons before I buy new and 'live out my purpose' 😊
Really love this! As someone who watches the Real Housewives franchise, I love the way you are taking back what it means to be a wife who doesn’t work outside the home, ie a homemaker
What I'd give to stay home and be a woman all day. I have taken sewing classes and baking courses and I love to do those things. I'm not very good at sewing but that doesn't stop me.I work now because we simply can't afford life right now on one salary. But I revel in homemaking...baking, cleaning, cooking, being the comforter for my son, smelling feminine, I get endless joy and fulfillment from those things.... The tender of flowers and herbs in the pots, I love it.
Really good stuff, thank you for this ♥️
New housewife and it was encouraging and refreshing to hear you expound on it.
I think if we’re honest, there’s something about it that feels more natural to us as women than working a stressful corporate M-F job. I worked a high stress career for years. Definitely still on the learning curve with staying at home😅 but I feel more natural in this role. And I can’t help but think about Titus 2, the older women are instructed to teach the younger women “to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, HOMEMAKERS…”
It’s biblical, that’s why it feels natural.
I totally agree.
I want to agree because homemaking is biblical. But i pray every single day for God to give me the love and natural intuition of homemaking. I believe and know one of these days it will come. Even though it's been 15 years... one day, I will get there 😅💜
Really enjoyed this. The work of a God fearing wife and mother builds stabilized foundations for the generations to come. To devalue these roles is to not know value at all. The word says not to argue with fools and that I shall not do. Keep up the good work. I’m 25 and recently married, and your channel is inspiring. 💕
I love the idea of tradition making in the "feminine arts". My grandmother and mother and aunts ALL have contributed to the holiday meals I create and have already passed down to my eldest daughter. I remember calling my grandma asking her how to make something she was known for cooking or baking. Sooo many wonderful memories associated with food and fellowship. This is what I've began with my family. EVERY holiday is celebrated and we have continued some traditions and tweaked others and created new ones. Your children will THANK YOU for your consistency in these things. i makeover my kids' rooms as they grow. THAT'S my new tradition. Usually for a teen birthday they get a make over that will take them to high school graduation. Make memories and have fun doing it! 😊
I love your content! Excellent well rounded deep analysis and insight 👏
I love this so so much…..at 47 and have worked since I was 15 years old, my entire life I have daydreamed about being able to be a homemaker full time. I regret so much time missed with my children. I look forward to watching all of your videos and really getting too there bottom of why I have not taken the steps to not work….is it fear of loosing power, greed of the money I make, or simply not trusting that the Lord will provide fully with one income….
This was an absolutely amazing sit down chat sis. As a young wife myself and looking to start our family this year....I have learned sooooo much about being that biblical woman but also how to properly handle the different aspects of this very amazing role as a wife and keeping balance of everything in our home. It's very rewarding and God has given me soooo much more grace and gentleness.
Thank you so much for all the great things your sharing here for us. Be blessed. 🙏🏾🥰
And I will certainly support your shop. Especially since I've been looking for more black owned business to support. ❤️❤️
Thank you for thinking to support
I love every one of your videos that I’ve watched, can’t stop watching the last few days. 😄 I wish there were more women like you on UA-cam. Thank you for doing what you do, putting these videos out there.
Me too!!! I have been gaining so many pearls of wisdom from these videos! Please keep the content coming.
I love coming back to your videos whenever I feel frustrated and overwhelmed in my home. Sometimes I feel it’s unfair my husband has more liberty when it comes to handling the kids but then I remember what the Bible says and I know how rewarding my hard work will be in the end! A man cannot do anything well without his helper!
I am a hospice oncology nurse who works two days per week. I primarily view myself as a homemaker though, and I find JUST AS MUCH satisfaction taking care of my family as I do taking care of my patients. Essentially at the end of the day, we are spreading our love to others and that’s what it’s all about ❤️❤️❤️
Hi there i agree with everything you have said. I was a stay at home mom till my children started school 22yrs ago. i was never board or felt like i was missing out on anything. i started working because i wanted things (material) that my husband couldn't afford. He could afford for me to stay at home, he could pay ALL of the bills but i wanted STUFF!!! i know that's dumb but i did. I took pride in the care of my home and family. cooking 3 hot meals a day i enjoyed. My children didn't know what cold cereal was until middle school. This day i want to come back home and all of our children are grown and gone, and people ask me why do you want to be home? you don't even have any children at home. I enjoyed taking care of my husband. We joke now on days that i call out or take off i cook a huge meal with desert included and the house stays clean i greet him at the door with a huge hug and kiss, btw I'm smelling good and looking fine as ever.(smile). He smells the food and see a clean home plus dessert, he always says man i need to bring you back home and i say i agree. I just like stuff and when im done getting stuff or paying off the bills i have created then i will return to being a domestic engineer. I love seeing the huge smile on his face when he comes home to order, and not having to worry about what i.ve been doing all day, or whos business i'm in. Thanks for this i am enjoying your content. I have been married for 27yrs this November 4kids and 7 grandbabies.
Amen!! Our culture has been- and now faster than ever- losing the means to conserve tradition--inspiring others to return to a lifestyle that you describe gives me hope for all of us. I believe the church can model this spirit at a broader level as well, incorporating singles and neighbors in a way that preserves relationships for years to come.
Love this! I feel it too! I had one friend describe me as an uncluttered person, which was meant as a great compliment, and I know its because I am satisfied in being a homemaker and feel such purpose in it and am content in mastering it.
My mother was a stay at home mom. She bartered with other moms. My Sis & I took piano lessons in exchange for my mom doing laundry for another mom.
Once we were all in school, she followed us & taught reading in the school library.
My Sis did the same thing with her girls. I would think I would have done the same, had if we had kids.
Love this video! I've worked the jobs and always struggled. With keeping up with my career, and then coming home and keeping up with my family. It always made me feel so sad, exhausted and unfulfilled. Now I work from home, at my own pace for a great boss. And still have plenty of time and energy to keep my family, and my home. Sometimes my husband says why don't you go out with your girls? I do every now and again. But what you're talking about, getting to care of my home and my family on a daily basis is my greatest joy. ❤️
Right in this moment I’m so emotional listening to this video. You are speaking directly to my heart. The Most High put me in this position to be a housewife for a reason. Thank you so much for this.
You put so much clarity on this topic for me. I am a new homemaker/wife/stay at home mom and I love it. But sometimes many feelings of self doubt and guilt come over me to the point where I break down because I feel what I do isn't enough compared to the work my husband does for our family. The problem is the way I think. I've been praying for God to help me get out of this mindset. Now I've found your channel and I'm glad. It is such a blessing to me, especially in this chapter of my life. And I appreciate you for encouraging women to read their Bibles and remind us that our home is a reflection of who we are on the inside. A relationship with our Heavenly Father is one of the most important parts of being able to successfully take on this wonderful role as a woman.
You are blessed to be full of wisdom I pray the lord blesses me with such wisdom too. I am a young mum of a newborn and toddler and have felt like I’m drowning but I am starting to accept my role as a homemaker and your videos make it such an easy transition. I didn’t grow up with my mother or a consistent female role model so I’m having to learn a lot of these skills
You seem to really enjoy your life as a homemaker and housewife. It's a big world with a lot of choices and the "default" of one's social sphere doesn't fit everyone. I can relate to that. I am a single, child-free lesbian who originally watched your content for loc content.
I work and I think I'll always work- my job is hard and makes me feel broken and less on bad days, but good moments with my patients do make me feel fulfilled. They make me feel like flying. On the weekend when I'm off I do this thing where I'm my own housewife... honestly that gives me deep fulfillment too, and in a different way than work does! I look at my clean home and feel deeply connected to my femininity, which is my core. The calmness and serenity of the weekend carries me through the week, and I love coming home to my clean, feminine home and family of me and my bird children.
I'm saying all this to say that there are a lot of ways to be a woman. Though the faith based life of submission to God first and then family will never be my ministry, I think we both love our homes and making them beautiful because we understand that peace begins at home. And I think that's really cool.
Your perspective intrigues me Amanda, as I had a very similar perspective growing up. I am curious what makes you say submission to God first could never be your ministry?
All I have to say is “Amen and amen”❤You are totally in my brain and consistently share what is on my heart. Titus 3 forever changed my life for and our legacy.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Since COVID, my desire to SAH has increased into what I’ve been calling an obsession. Thanks for giving an honest open dialogue for those of us who are interested in making the change
It’s so lovely to see someone be so passionate with their life! Thank you for sharing!
I thank God for you sooo much! You are truly a blessing 🙌 I'm a new wife and homemaker to an absolutely amazing man. Your videos teach me so many things I've never knew. I just want to encourage you to continue what you are doing because God is speaking through you and shaping wives and homemakers to be more like Christ! I love you sister, Glory to God!
Thank you Bindi, if you don’t like to sew or aren’t any good then try something different that your interested in more and may be better at. I grew up in a family where my mother and sister sewed but had trouble with making something one dimensional go to three dimensional.i got a sewing machine when I got married and wanted to sew well but couldn’t So I learned to mend by sewing old clothes then made small quilts with old clothing and that saved money and eventually learned to sew some things like aprons and girls little dresses but that took a while. But then I moved to a cold climate instead I learned to spin wool and knit from scratch and it saved money and made happy memories going to sheep and wool festivals with my family on Mother’s Day weekend. I love these posts of yours dear because you are right on with all of thiS.💕😊
"Homemakers are the "stuff" of legacy and lineage." This is a whole sermon. I, fortunately, grew up in a traditional household with a father who was bread winner and a mother who was largely a homemaker. She didn't really work outside the home consistently until we were in middle school. She made most of our dresses, and even her own. She crocheted and knitted. We ate home cooked meals every night, at home, as a family around the table - not in front of the TV - where we talked about our day. She made a fabulous dessert every week. She gardened and canned excess for out of season. She made jellies and preserves, pickles, applesauce, canned fruits in syrup, baked homemade bread, and so much more. She taught us many things in the way of home economics and homemaking, except for sewing - she said that she couldn't get or keep us interested in it. 🤷♀ But I thank you so much for this video.
Girl you better preach🗣🗣🗣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you so much for making this!!! So needed!
Thank you for this. I listened to the entirety. I am a social worker and I am a pastor's wife. I worked several types of jobs before being married and then went part-time with my first child. I never felt more fulfilled and "having it all" than when I decided to stay home with my children (now 2 girls). People say it's about having money in order to be home but I was home when my husband lost his great paying job and had to work two jobs til God changed everything and BOTH of us will never regret me being home. So many women throw insults at those who stay home but I certainly don't have any judgment for the women who work outside of the home. God knows all things, but I asked God to keep us until things God better. He blessed my husband to start a business and gave us a large contract and many others. I assist him where I can in the business with my other talents, but he carries the bulk. The days where I only need to focus on the house and kids and him, I feel the most fulfilled. Now as a pastor's wife, God is shifting things again. We just move with it.
I’m so thankful for your videos! They are so inspiring!!
I am so grateful to have stumbled upon your channel. So beautiful to listen to another woman speak highly of homemaking and traditional values 🤍
You have such a beautiful way of explaining things. I’m a home maker/stay at home mom and I don’t think I’ve ever said that with pride until after I saw this video.
I am a mother of two who also works from home. To simply give a little bit of a background, I've made over 6 figures annually and work with very demanding clients; however I've always admired the woman who were able to juggle the home. Now that I am doing both (homeschooling and still wfh), I've had to heal the societal pressure to prove what I do all day. To heal the perfectionism and validation from others that I do enough. Its a journey to shift your mindset from social norms of value to the heart's value of true worthiness. I had to change my perspective to see that the value came from how my children's hearts will be impacted by the small gestures and the mental acuity that comes to them being in a clean & organized home.
I wish clothes like you’re showing were sold in my contry. So hard to find something like it in one place. I have to pick different places, and mix together. But it’s not easy.
I tried to like this video 20 different times every time you said something that I thought "YES" to! Woman truly are serving our lineage in such an impactful way & I've always felt that. Thank you for putting it to words.
I’m so excited to be a mother and a homemaker one day ❤ thank you for the perspective and honesty Bindi! I learn so much from you 🙏🏾🥰
I believe that your channel was brought to me to confirm my higher calling. I would join a homemakers bible study if you chose to create one
This video is absolutely lovely in so many ways🥰! I too feel fulfilled in my work at home and I wouldn't change it for the world. That is not to say that I do not have fun with the insensitive question of "What do you do?" My response is" I am a Domestic Engineer. I do all things!" 🤣
I leave them with that and keep it moving. It's pure entertainment watching the confused looks.
God Bless you ❤
Bindi, you inspire me every day and I thank you for that. I have been working full time, but my desire is to be a home maker. I am excited that in March I will get to go part time, so I can then be a home maker while still being able to help my husband with finances. I am learning so much from you. I do not have anything that was passed down to me, not even recipes. I had zero female adults in my life growing up, and my dad was abusive, so now I am learning how to be a woman of God. I desire more than anything to be able to have the role of home maker and I pray daily about it.
Thank you for your ministry to women! I have never been more fulfilled than when I'm following God's family structure as stated in His Word, and as a homemaker. I worked jobs for years, but this is far better! It helped me a lot, to significantly declutter and reduce the amount of inventory in my home to what I can manage. I'm now expecting our first child and can look forward to that with joy and anticipation instead of dread of "how can I possibly do this?"
On the subject of sewing...I grew up with a family legacy of sewing as a skill, but I have really started embracing it the last few years. I've been looking for modest dresses locally, but because of a lack of options, have begun to sew my own. I can make them however I want, with modesty, femininity, beauty and comfort in mind. It's been fun! I hope you can discover the joy of creating, especially in the vacuum of good options! God bless!
In another video you also mentioned that you know that its good work for you if at the end of the day you are not drained. Everything else that I worked before or even school drained me tremendously. Even the thought of having to find a career (that makes money) that fits me and is fun for me drained me so much and was another factor for me spiraling down into depression. Honestly I'm forever grateful that Jesus found me and picked me up and is now teaching me (through women like you also) what it means to be a WOMAN and homemaking etc. I am a homemaker now and my boyfriend is so supportive as well. The more I go into it and live it the happier I feel. I feel so much more freedom now that I can do and enjoy these women things without feel ashamed for it. Thank you for sharing so that woman who don't have any other woman in their life as help/role model can still learn.
Amen!!! So good and I feel the exact same way as you! I struggle some days but the Lord helps me through his word and encouraging women like you to be reminded my home making and mothering is a holy work and so impactful. And I truly do feel so fulfilled in it. Thank you for this video and God bless you and your family.
I love so many things about your UA-cam channel, but I can’t help but telling you I have the same beauty mark between my eyebrows!!!
I am not planning of being a homemaker,but i am addicted 2 dis channel,it teach me a lot abt cleanliness & respecting my partner 🎉(south africa)
I'm not weird. Praise the Lord. You touched the points! I've desired this living alllll my life
RECIPES: I have several legacy recipes that I make with my kids and my husband's grandmother and mother. I cherish the many memories we have making these dishes and sharing these dishes. I HIGHLY recommend gathering favorite recipes from family IN THEIR HANDWRITING. I lost my mother but I get to see and touch her handwriting in the recipes she gave me through my life before losing her. I now make sure I have the handwritten recipes from family and friends
Love love love your content! I'm a single mother though and still take pride in keeping my house up as well as making sure my kids get home cooked meals and tended to! It's hard but that's my priority and then work outside my home come after that I try to keep things in order like we were insteucted to do. I listen to you as I clean and it really do help me stay motivated to keep to my duties while also being prepared for if and when I do marry if the Lord see fit 🤲🏽
Thank for this post. I am so fulfilled to be a mother and homemaker. 💕
Love your videos! I really believe God put them in my path for a reason. I really struggle with the feeling of anger and resentment with housekeeping. I think sometimes it’s just programmed into some of us that it’s a punishment. Praying your videos can help make a change in my life ❤️🙏
God bless you!🙏😁 And to God be the Glory for blessing you. You are living the way GOD ordained a wife to be..Help meet, guide the house, loving your husband and children etc...A PROVERBs 31 woman. The women working outside of the home have no energy left to fulfill all of the things required by God and the examples that you have set before us. Be encouraged, God bless you for your example, good job! I appreciate seeing the work that you're doing, by videos, you're not just talking. I'm praying for you and I THANK YOU!🙏😁
I enjoyed this entire video but especially when you spoke about legacies and lineages I never thought about it from that perspective. I did grow up in a Christian foundation as a child. My mother was a single parent, but my grandmother moved to the state where my mom and I were located and while my mom worked and attended school to provide my grandmother would cook breakfast lunch and dinner and during those times we would have bible study . Grandmother would lead out in song and prayer. Maybe bible study was 30minutes to an hour. I would read the word as well and sometimes pray. Then I would either go back outside and play or stay indoors. Her homecooked meals were my alarms. She would also clean almost each morning with pinsol and /or bleach and air out the house.Sometimes I would be annoyed by all the bible studies per day but I'm thankful for it now. I want to do the same with my future children and husband during mornings and nights when he's home.
I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and bought the audible version of the book. THANK YOU for putting these videos together. Although I'm following the author's daughter on Instagram, I receive far more easily from you (even if you're sending the same message). I'd always been a career woman, in stockbroking and project management (never had the desire or temperament for children)... but you (and the book) are putting a valuable message across which I wish I'd found years ago - I'm soaking these up daily.
When asked what I do, I say that I am a homemaker/house wife. If they ask from there well what does that mean or why don’t I have a real job, I’ll tell them I’m walking in the calling that GOD created for women!!!… I’m fulfilling the mandate he placed on women as wives, mothers… GOD gave us the greatest portion he could ever give us except salvation and I thank him DAILY for the opportunity to be a wife and a mother and homemaker… To see the joy on my children’s face to have mommy home and to love on them, to educate them and to train them up in the way they should go… The satisfaction I get from my husband showing his appreciation for EVERYTHING that I do in the home/bedroom… lol it’s so true Bindi when you said there is no job that could give me that… Being a nurse to someone else is fulfilling but when it compares to being that and more to my family hits completely different…
I'm telling you God led me st8 to your channel!
I am enjoying every single video. Glory to God for using you to help women!! God bless u woman of God. Keep um coming!
I thought I was the being crazy thinking this way. There is just something fulfilling about homemaking. So glad I found your channel ♥️ Thank you for sharing the wisdom and knowledge you share. We are learning 🙏🏾
This was beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you for explaining this subject with such thought and clarity. This has really touched my heart!
This is the exact content I need for the stage I'm currently in. I'm in a courtship and we're working towards marriage. I desire to be a homemaker and homeschool our future children. However, there's a bit of guilt there because I have student loans and other debt that I'm working to pay off and I really don't want my husband to have to be responsible for it if I'm not earning income. I would love to hear your thoughts and wisdom on that
I am standing in agreement that I too can find that fulfillment soon in being a wife and mother to a healthy, wealthy, Godly man!
In Jesus name. Amen
This blessed me today! Thank you!
Hi Bindi,
Your video just flashed in my UA-cam and you can never imagine how much I am being blessed and learning through your mind, very very inspiring and you are speaking my mind.. I absolutely love you for being so detailed in everything you do and think that only brings glory and honour to the Lord Jesus Christ ❤
You are amazing !! Keep going..! I’m from India 🇮🇳 saying hi to your lil gal who walks around while you speak❤
I am a single woman and homeowner. And for the last 2 years, I truly have felt a sense of joy and fulfillment from doing work in my home. I like my job, but it doesn’t give me the joy that homemaking does. I thank The Lord for giving me that spirit of contentment even as a single woman. Because I know that feeling will only grow stronger once I am a wife and mother!
I just found your videos and I'm addicted and binge watching now! Thank you for your commitment and obedience 🙏 🥰🥰🥰
This video blessed me.
Thank you Bindi! My sister in Christ.
