How does motherhood relate to the Israelites walking through the desert? Yeah, I asked that question too during my Bible recap this past week and to be honest, I got stuck trying to understand the correlation God wanted me to see. But thankfully the lightbulb turned on the other day and it started to make sense! No matter what season of life you are in, God wants us to thrive not survive; so I hope that this message can be an encouragement for you this week! As always thank you so much for joining me each week! Life with a newborn and 5 big boys has definitely presented me with more challenges than I anticipated but we are working through it each day. Thank you for your patience when my episodes don't always air the same day each week. We are still trying to find our groove and that takes time and grace. We love to hear your thoughts on each episode; not only is it encouraging to me but it also helps this message spread to more ears. So make sure to leave a comment and a rating!

Homeschooling is not meant to be public school done at home! There is a mindshift that has to take place when you start homeschooling. Often we see these pictures on pinterest and we watch these families on youtube and they seem to have this homeschooling thing figured out! This can give us great ideas of what we want our "setup" to look like but all to often it sets us up for unrealistic expectations that don't mesh with our family or the way we do life. So today lets chat about our family and our goals within homeschooling because we don't have it figured out, but we are learning and that's the important part! A few of my Favorites! www.mypillow.com use the code ROOTEDIN for up to 66% off! - For the best slippers, robes and bedroom sets! www.greenmountaindiapers.com use the code ROOTEDPFW10 - For your cloth diapering needs www.nursingqueen.com use the code ROOTEDIN10 - For your breastfeeding accessable clothing!

I never want my boys to regret being a part of a larger family! I never want them to feel like they were overlooked or that I didn't have enough time for each of them; and that can be a challenge when there are 5 soon to be 6!

Growing a family isn't always as easy as ABC... Sometimes it comes with a lot of heartache and trauma. Today I want to touch on a few of those harder topics because I want you to know that you are NOT alone! I see you, I can relate (to some extent), and you are allowed to ask questions. We are blessed to have a kind and understanding God that doesn't hold it against us when we ask "why?". He wants to be our comfort in those trying times; if we will just let him. We cover some heavy topics today and I wanted to share a few resources if you are dealing with any of those areas... Resources for Loss - Resources for Loss | Postpartum Health Alliance Resources for Special Needs - Online Support Groups for Parents of Children with Special Needs (stephensplace.org) And for those in that current state of growing families...

For those that say the Bible isn't relative to today... needs to have their eyes checked!

Have you ever looked at grapevines? Each fall/winter they are pruned so that there is almost nothing left. Each spring new branches come forth and are fruitful. If they were let to grow wild on their own, chances are the branches would grow into each other, get tangled and mangled to the point where the plant isn't as fruitful as it could be. Our lives are the same way. God wants to prune and cut things out so that his fruit and flourish! Thank you Snook's Lawn and Landscaping for being this episodes sponsor!

I feel like there is A LOT in this episode so if it seems to wiggle wall all over the place, I promise there is a point! The boys and I saw the most amazing rainbow the other evening and it was such a reminder that God has created so much beauty in the world from the small worm that crawls up from the ground to the rain showers you can watch roll in from the distance. No matter how seemingly small and insignificant things are, there is a purpose! You have a purpose! And God wants us to fufill our callings with integrity!

Mommy needed a time out... I went out on our back porch in the dark evening and sat alone. I cried my frustrations out for God to hear. How could I do this?

Have you ever felt like there are days where the junk just keeps mounting? Like there are days where you just can't get above the water line to take a breath? Have you ever thought about how those days may be Satan playing with you? In the last few years, Satan has gotten really good at playing off of our fears, and food insecurity is one of those areas... Today I want to chat with you about facing your walls like Joshua and learning new things to over come those fears!

How many times do we approach God with our well thought out plan trying to convince Him that our plan is the best option!?

Say it with me... "You don't have to do EVERYTHING!" How many times do we tell ourself we have to get EVERYTHING done? How many times do we beat our self up because we don't get to everything? How many times do we expect our bodies to work when we push them beyond what they should be doing? Let me share my perspective... WAY TOO OFTEN! Mixing homeschooling, homesteading, oh and being pregnant with #6 I am just as guilty as the next. I have a hard time asking for help or admitting that I can't do it all!

Sometimes we lose track of who we are suppose to be competing with... When we stand in front of God on Judgement Day, He is going to ask us if we were the best We could be.

How did Adam and Eve REALLY populate the world? Why did we go from living 900 years to only 120? oh and what was REALLY so special about Noah? These are always things I didn't understand!

Years ago, adding pigs to our homestead was my idea. Thankfully my husband took it over and is doing a much better job then I was. Pigs are so easy to raise and with a 70% dressing yield you can get so much meat off one animal! Today I want to chat with you about the cost breakdown and savings when you raise your own meat.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they?" Matthew 6:25-26 I know that God believes we are. The difficulty is that often we are too busy or distracted of our fears and worry, thus blocking our sight and we are blinded to Gods provisions. Today let's chat about waiting for God to open new doors! Make sure to check our Rooted In for my new Blog Series starting Saturday - What are we spending? As things get a bit tighter for everyone, I always find it helpful to see how other's do finances. So I want to share what we are doing!

"A jack of all trades is often a master of none, but is still better then a master of one!" Did you know that was the whole saying? I didn't! I always thought that because I dabble is so many things that it was a bad thing. Like why can't I just be great at one thing!?! But the reality is we can't compare ourselves to those around us because God has created us to be unique! We need to make the choice to learn from others, rather then begrudge them because they have what we don't. A great way to practice that is through raising chickens and working in your kitchen! Come along with me today as we chat about the lessons I've learned! Check out Tractor Supply for all your poultry needs! Make sure to hop over to Rooted In for some great reading materials and soon more information about raising chickens! Finally, now that summer is in full swing, have you upgraded your footware?

Baked Whole Frozen Chicken Take a frozen chicken, place on a dry pan (add no water) season (I like Rosemary, Onion Powder and Salt) bake at 425 degrees for 20 mins uncovered. Then cover it in foil with the shiny side down, drop the heat to 350 degrees and bake about 3 hours or until the meat thermometer says 165 degrees internally. ENJOY!

Intolerance is one of those hijacked words! It is made to be like such a terrible thing, yet as Christians we are technically intolerant! We are told that sin should not be tolerated and therefore we should be intolerant of it. So how do we do that? How do we see in black and white rather then many shades of grey? Let's chat about that today! I mention Father's Day! A few ideas... 1. mypillow.com has some amazing deals PLUS they just released their summer sandles! What Dad doesn't need a new robe and sandles?

Emotions are like a two year old... they can be the life of the party, but you never actually put them in charge! Emotions often get a bad rap but they were created by God and they have a purpose. We just have to find a way to use them in a balanced fashion! Many of the ideas discussed today stem from the discussions our local Bible Study where we are focusing on the Mama Bear Apologetics.

Why isn't God doing something about this mess... I think it is time for our culture to take ownership for our part in creating the mess. Today's message is meant to be an encouragement but also a bit of hard truth. There is only 1 God and there is only 1 Truth. It is time that we realize we aren't stepping up to the plate with these 2 hard and fast facts and that we need to do better. Make sure to check out Rooted In for the transcript / blog post of this later on this week!

It's time to dig a bit deeper! I felt like God was really pulling on me for this one today! When we talk about shaping our home we need to realize that often the reason we do what we do has to do with how we were raised which can be good or maybe rather it is shaped in spite of how we were raised. I did not grow up in what I would consider a toxic home by any means! My parents weren't perfect, but who is... however, we can be affected by former generations! So today I want to talk about that! If you would like to share your thoughts with me, I would love to hear them! Leave a comment, a rating, or send me a message at [email protected].

I have never been one who put much thought into my home... the pillows, the pictures, these things never grabbed my attention as what I was missing. However, the last few weeks I came to the realization that it is up to me to shape my home in a way that brings God glory! Today I want to chat about how we can work to create a Proverbs 31 Home. It started to get a bit long so I decided to break this one into two episodes. My company shoutout this round goes to Tractor Supply!

Today I want to give you 5 tips that I am working on to get Balance back in my life.
