Take care of the family God has given you.

Part of me waited to feel like I had a "family" because it wouldn't feel official until my husband and I had a child of our own. I'm learning to feel blessed with the family God has given me in this season of my life, and take care of them how I would take care of my familial ideal.

My husband and I recently moved into a new home, and my sister in law and her husband are renting the spare room from us. Since we've all moved in together I've learned how much I enjoy taking care of everyone, from cooking, to cleaning, to encouraging their ambitions. I never expected this to be the case, but God has truly opened my eyes to how a Christian woman can be a homemaker even when she has no children.

This might look different for you. Perhaps you an adult daughter still living with her parents and siblings. Take care of them. Perhaps you are a college student with roommates. Take care of them. Perhaps you live alone in an apartment complex, but have many elderly neighbors on your floor. Invite them to dinner, and take care of them.

God is faithful to lead us to a community, but sometimes we get distracted by the fact that it isn't the ideal we see for ourselves, and overlook our ability to serve and love them nonetheless. I've been thinking a lot about how I would feel if I found out we would never be able to have kids — and whether I could be happy homemaking for a family that didn't consist of my children.

I think I could, but this realization has come only through God opening my eyes to the fact that we are all His children, brothers and sisters in Christ — family by default, and all responsible to serve one another.

i need christian women to know that the translators and writers of the bible meant “submission” to the husband to be “submission”

there is no other nice kind of submission or mutual submission, there is no other way of being submissive

they meant submission as “the action of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.”

stop gaslighting yourselves and each other

it is not and will never be an equal union because it was not designed to be

What does the Bible say about dressing modestly, and in a God honoring way?

Well well well, if it isn't me, breaking Christian hearts. I've done it a lot (while being pagan, while being atheist, and now being Christian).

My problem, is that SOO many tradwives on here put looking amazing as their top priority, while calling themselves Christian. Girlies, imma be honest with you. You're full of shit.

I recently saw a post on how to dress nice as a housewife, and omg, literally the first line was to wear accessories.

First of all, it literally say in 1Timothy 2:9-10:

"Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works."

So, HOW to be modest?

A pretty simple question, yet still hard to answer.

1. Be gentle

2. Help people

3. Fear God

4. Be quite ("quick to listen, slow to speak" James 1:19)

(Most of the rules you need to follow, you can find in James' book!)

"Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."

1Peter 3:3-4

Also, a common misconception I see:

"Dressing modestly for you husband"

No!?!!!? You should dress modestly for GOD. If you're not married, you're in a relationship, OR you are married, your husband is not the one you should be dressing modestly for! It's God!

Dressing modestly is a way to honor God. Covering up is a way to show respect to him.

Another person’s failure to comprehend is not your responsibility.

Explanation only goes so far when a person is refusing to understand.

“Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Spiritual warfare is real.

The enemy often pays me a visit. He's mad cause we used to be besties until I realized he's a user and fraud. Not all shadows or darkness is bad. Its needed for balance. It can be sacred and keep us safe....But the enemy is real, and he shows up in forms of fear, anxiety, sloth/laziness/procrastination, lust (you know, when you lay down and break your own heart and damage your own soul cause you knew in your being you weren't supposed to be there to begin with), gluttony, vanity, greed, addiction, depression, insecurity. Even random attacks from your loved ones. Especially the ones that come out of no where after youve done significant spiritual work.

He likes to try to bully me and others for reading the bible, for leading our families to be baptised, and he really hates Sundays. He works extra hard to bring folks down on Sunday and holy holidays.

When he comes to test you, confront him. Not with anger, pride, hostility, or hardened hearts. He loves and thrives off negative emotion and will deliver to you then, more of the same energy. (Even science explains this; it's physics. Karma. Whatever you believe.)

The best tool for fighting the enemy is self Love, self care, charity, community, family, healthy and strong boundaries, grace, mercy, honesty, empathy, sympathy, kindness, compassion, integrity, but the greatest of all these is Love.

When the enemy tries to make you eat the lie of lack, give him grace, give him mercy, give him empathy, understand his why, but maintain your boundaries, stand in your peace, love yourself, have integrity in the way you protect yourself and others, show compassion, be kind, and react with poise and confidence. Be like Jesus. Be like our GOD.

Forgive the enemy for his trespasses the way we have been forgiven for our trespasses. But do not allow them to break your stride or interfere with your heart and mind.

Like MLK Jr said...."

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

You can understand why the enemy does what he does and forgive him, and still not accept his behavior or intentions.

LOVE PEOPLE. LOVE YOURSELF. STAND UP FOR WHATS RIGHT. DO GOOD.

&&Don't let people or the enemy, make you feel bad for loving GOD and loving Jesus. That's the lie of the enemy and you don't ever have to listen or believe those lies. When the enemy speaks, open your ears and heart to only hear GOD, and allow your behavior and mouth to speak only words that would honor his precious name, the name of our LORD CHRIST JESUS, and Yourself! ❤️🪽

Amen.

One big thing I'm taking into 2024:

Letting God lead the way.

Letting God lead doesn't always look the way you think it does. Oftentimes, it leads you into the uncomfortable. It leads you into leaning not on your own understanding, even when your understanding looks convincing. It leads you into waiting and praying longer than you expected. It leads you into making decisions that don't always seem to make sense.

But praise God. I'm so grateful for the times I let God lead in 2023.

When you let God lead, you are letting the all-knowing Father show you who He is. You get to see Him show up. You see the fruit of obedience. You see that His ways are the best. You see answered prayers. You experience His joy and provision in the most unexpected moments.
