Romans 8:31 says: “What then shall we say to the Romans 8:31 says: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” When we let God lead us, when we take that first step of faith, when we are faithful in the little things… God can and will use your life for His glory. Jesus will have the victory! * * * #proverbs31women #proverbs31life #10virtues #daughteroftheking #jesuslovesme #womenoffaith #faithquotes #proverbs31#faithblogger #faithfulness #faithandfamily #bibleverseaday #christianbloggers #dailyverses #christianlife #jesuscalling #shereadstruth
Women often feel great pressure to live up to a hi Women often feel great pressure to live up to a high standard. Who sets that standard? Society? Tradition? Other family members? Proverbs 31? Perhaps it’s a combination of expectations from a variety of sources. Do you feel it? Trying to live up to an impossible standard is an exercise in futility. But let me tell you a secret. God doesn’t set impossible standards. The passage of Proverbs 31 – those verses that focus on the virtues of the Proverbs 31 woman – are not there to make you feel bad about yourself or to point out your failures. The passage of Proverbs 31 is a depiction of God’s faithful bride. It’s NOT a to do list. It’s an example that even modern women striving to live like the Proverbs woman can fulfill. Praying Proverbs 31 is something you can do to help you become the woman God has intended you to be. ~ Melissa Ringstaff 💕 READ MORE: https://avirtuouswoman.org/praying-proverbs-31/ Photo: 📸 This picture was taken a couple years ago of me with my mom and four daughters plus my sweet daughter in law. * * * #proverbs31women #proverbs31life #10virtues #daughteroftheking #jesuslovesme #womenoffaith #faithquotes #proverbs31#wearethehomemakers #proverbs31woman #purpose31 #homemaking #homemakingministries #happyhomemaking #homemaking101 #cleanhome #cleanheart #fromchaostocalm #housekeeping #cleaningroutine #inspiredhome #makingahome #lovewhereyoudwell #homemaker #homebody #biblicalHomemaking
🍒 Self-discipline is a concept that is often ea 🍒 Self-discipline is a concept that is often easier explained than it is to implement in your life. But, being disciplined at home is one thing that will make the most difference in your life as a homemaker. Today I’m talking about what being disciplined really means. 🍒 Being disciplined at home will help you create order and peace in your home where chaos used to reign. 🍒 Everyone has different levels of comfort. Some people go nuts if there is clutter around. Others seem to enjoy having all the things every where. Most of us will fall somewhere in between the two. 🍒 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Sometimes there are circumstances that are beyond Sometimes there are circumstances that are beyond your control. It’s hard to accept. Because as humans, I think we naturally just really want to be in control of everything all the time. At least, that’s how I feel. I like feeling like I’m in control. The truth is, I’m not in control. No matter how much I want to be in control, ultimately, I am at the mercy of things that are beyond my control. And that’s okay. Because God is still in control. Sometimes God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we want Him to. I know this from experience. I don’t always understand why He allows us to walk through the valley of the shadow of death for long periods of time. But, often it’s through these trials and valleys that we learn to depend fully on Him. There is no easy button for homemaking when life is hard. I wish there was! Sometimes we just have to do the best we can and accept that some things will just not get done on our schedule. That’s why we need to be willing to accept God’s grace for the moment.

Remember, homemaking is about more than just keepi Remember, homemaking is about more than just keeping a neat and tidy home. It’s about creating an atmosphere where our family can love, learn, and grow. And what’s more important growing in faith? Getting started with family worship isn’t hard. In fact, the hardest part is probably just setting aside the time to do it on a regular basis. If you’re new to family worship, you may want to start with one night a week – perhaps a Friday or Saturday night. When my children were young we tried to have family worship every evening before bed. So let’s talk about how to get started with Family Worship.

Be sure to download today’s workbook pages too and there’s a free printable Family Worship Planner to download as well. 💕 * * * #mymotherhood #mommasheart #stayathomemomma #mommablogger#faithblogger #faithfulness #faithandfamily #christianbloggers #christianlife #jesuscalling #shereadstruth#proverbs31 #proverbs31woman #purpose31 #10virtues #homemaking #homemakingministries #happyhomemaking #fromchaostocalm #housekeeping #inspiredhome #makingahome #lovewhereyoudwell #homemaker #homebody #biblicalHomemaking
