    Right in the nick of time for this season in my life. Mom of 3 that I homeschool and struggle with the feeling to do more. I recently went back to all the basics and just focusing on my walk with God, my husbands,kids and home ♡

      Awe, I am glad. Wow! You are truly amazing homeschooling three children! I was homeschooled and definitely plan to homeschool my children as well, although that being said, it sounds like a lot of work!
      Blessings to you! ❤️

    I see my little measuring cups that arrived safe and sound this week!!!!, along with the wooden ornaments and your precious gift that came along with my order!!! As mama's and homemakers (keepers of the home) we have the most important job in the world. God has entrusted us with the lives of our precious little ones and there is no greater joy on earth than that!

    You are so right my friend. I am 66 and feel the same way about being a wife and grandmother now as I did when I was raising my daughter as a single working Mom. There was a lot of pressure to be "doing ministry" but I knew the Lord had given me an extremely important calling without anything else. I did open our home up to others which was a big blessing. It is a little harder now with the "C". One other way we have found to minister regardless of our current situation and infirmities is through prayer, cards, phone calls, and emails.
    I really enjoy your videos! Thank you!

    Just found your channel. Thank you for your encouraging words. As a pastors wife my first priority is Christ, my husband, my children, and my home. All of which is very intentional and inspiring. My children are 15 and almost 20. Homemaking is my joy, and to be able to minister to my Lord, my family, and my church is my utmost privilege.
    Look forward to watching more of your content.

    I found your channel just this morning and as soon as you started talking in the video I was watching I could see that God has blessed you with abundant wisdom. Your channel is not a rare gem. Its an extremely rare gem. You were born for such a time as this. I'm a single person and have always wanted a large family but thought that I wouldn't be able to do anything else if that were so. But God has used your ministry (this channel too is part of your call I believe ) to tell me that being a wife and a mother is a high calling. God bless you

    Also I would like to share two of my favorite quotes:
    "Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire".
    - St. Catherine of Siena
    "If you want to change the world go home and love your family.

    So true, there is so much effort in writing a book. It’s not easy but it is a calling and not everyone is called to do it. But true it doesn’t make them better. We all have gifts and sometimes it’s just relationships I’ve envied the stay at home mom that can peacefully be at home and focus on her kids.

    • @BecauseitMatters

    Such great advice, I know sometimes when I am doing my normal routine I forget often that our ministry also includes ministering to our children. Honestly, they are the ones that should be ministered to the most because each day this world gets darker and they are the next generation. We homeschool, and do podcasts and CZcams stuff. It is crazy how much time it takes. Thanks for this video it was encouraging.

    Wonderful sweet message by a sweet homemaker! Ya! After thirty eight years of marriage and raising three and now caring as a Grammy... happy to hear I’ve done all of these... often while employed part or full time. Keep sharing your message!! Please share your several points in writing below the video. I feel like I need to go back and relisten at end, as I’d like to add into notebook... I also taught Sunday school to ALL ages or youth group for over twenty years and was a co youth pastor. Your home could be a host home for Bible studies for women or couples also.

      @@BecauseitMatters Wonderful to hear back from you! I think I must have listened to nearly all your videos while organizing a room for over six hours on Sat! For such a young woman you have great wisdom and wonderful ideas to share with others. Keep it up! I encourage you to check out Focus on the Family, Family Talk and Insight for Living. Dr. Dobson and Pastor Chuck Swindoll were my radio mentors as a young bride and mother, as I had a very challenging childhood, then lost both my parents as a young woman of 22 and 29. You can listen as you work and even if it doesn’t pertain to you now... it may someday. Or someone you know. God bless sweet daughter of the King!
