Who is Building Your House?

October 24, 2017 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

When you look around at the world that we live in, we see that there are a lot of things that you and I could be busy doing. We want our homes, relationships, and careers to be full and satisfying, but there is something that I want to ask you. Who is building your house?

Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who builds it; Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

Before you and I ever set foot on this earth, God had a plan for our lives. He determined the year that we would be born and the year that our children would be born. He decided who we would marry and the people we would be in relationship with. He determined what our hands would be busy doing and the work that we would accomplish. Still, He has given us the ability to walk in His will and purpose for Him, or not.

If you are like me, then you want for your home, relationships, and career to be blessed, but how did you answer the question above? Who is building your house?

Inviting God Into Your Life

You can want all of the things that you want, but God is the builder who has the plan of how your life should be established in order for it to work in a magnificent way. Have you invited Him into every area of you life, or are there specific areas that He isn’t allowed to enter into?

For some people the answer is yes, but for others, God is not welcome because control has not been given over to Him. Which category do you fall in?

Is He welcome in your personal life?

Do you allow God to examine your thoughts and emotions? Have you invited Him into the spaces of your mind that occupy you on a daily basis? Do you share, with Him, your concerns and fears and allow Him to tell you how to overcome them? Do you invite him into your choices? Before you take a drink, get a tattoo, purchase a car, or even watch a movie; do you allow Him to be in the process of your decisions?

Yes, He sees all that you do and think, but He is not going to over power you, so that you can be free. He already sent Jesus to die on the cross for your mental and emotional freedom. Have you accepted it? Are you willing to turn away from the things that invite sickness, disease, and depression into your life? Have you told your flesh “no” and the Lord “yes?”

Has the Lord been invited into your marriage?

Did God get an invitation to your wedding? After the wedding, was He allowed to stay and dwell there? Or is your marriage a place where God is not welcome to interfere? One way to tell this is if you find that you only talk to God about what your husband does, but you don’t listen to the Lord tell you what you have done and how to fix it. Your ability to trust God in your marriage is a direct indicator of whether or not you have invited Him into it.

If you want your marriage to work, it has to be built on a solid foundation and the Lord has to be the One that is giving out the orders.

What about motherhood? Have you given God permission to help you be a mother?

Frustration can set in, when a mother doesn’t have patience or is trying in her own strength to mother her children. The reason why is that a mother is not the creator of her children. Although she birthed them, she did not design them, so there are aspects of her children that she must learn to navigate and direct. However, while you are learning to help and assist your children in life, have you sought God about what is best for them?

Have you told God that you want to be the type of mother that He designed you to be or are you just being the type of mother that you want to be? You have to make a decision and it’s an important one. You have to decide to be an instrument and vessel of God in the lives of your children. They were given to you as a blessing, but you have to be willing to be a good stewart over what God has given you.

Is it too much for you to ask God to give you patience and direction, so that you can be a mother that builds her children up and gives them wisdom?

Don’t forget about your career.

In the world, you and I are told that we can be whatever we want to be. What we don’t normally hear is that we can and should be in the place and position that God has called us to. We aren’t built up to be the type of women that God has designed us to be.

Because of this lack of encouragement, it’s not hard to take the wheel of the career field and steer it in the direction of our liking. Have you surrendered your dream to God, so that He could tell you which ones He cosigned on? Have you stopped long enough to hear Him direct you? Do you have too much noise playing in the background, so that you cannot hear Him? You have to be intentional about not avoiding what is important.

Let the Lord build your house

God’s will and purpose for you is important. You and I should want Him to be involved in our lives, in every way possible. This cannot happen without an invitation.

If you believe in Jesus, then you have already believed him for your salvation, but did you make him your Lord? Are you giving him first place and rulership over every area of who you are and what you do?

You don’t want to be the person that is doing things without asking God to be with you. You don’t want to find yourself in a place where you are struggling because you got into something that God did not call you to get into. Now all things work together for our good, but you still have to go through, if you are disobedient.

Allow the Lord to establish the framework for the buildings in your life, so that as you build, your labor will not be in vain.

His Thinks of You

October 18, 2017 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” and You were on His mind.

When His Spirit hovered over the deep, He look to a place where you could place your feet,

A place for your to sleep,

But there was none, so He made it.

When He stared out into the abyss,

the void, the darkness,

He knew the harshness of how life would try to overwhelm you

So…He said “Let there be light” and there was light, so that the darkness would not overtake you

As the waters ran and flowed with no end in sight,

God made it right

Because He wanted you to have dry land.

He wanted to remind you that He thinks of you more than the grains of sand,

upon the earth

He wanted you to remember your worth

He gave the sun and the moon, the trees and the seas

And all have their boundaries

Because He wanted you to rule and reign and your desires to be fulfilled by the fruit that came

from the earth

So, why do you question your worth?

In the beginning God and the Holy Spirit and Jesus our Christ,

thought of you

Were concerned about your life

So they place everything in perfect order

It’s all for your daughter

And because He knew that evil would come,

He sent His Son

upon the earth

Begotten of Him, a virgin birth

Born to fulfill all of His promises to me and to you

Yes you!

He did this all for you because He loves you

He delights in you

He thinks great thoughts of you

So just love Him and be the person that He created you to be

I can only be I and you cannot be me

Nor can I be you

But that’s because God doesn’t want us as an imitation

He chooses His people, calls us a royal priest hood, a holy nation

But you have to begin to see it

You have to make sure that you believe it

My prayer is that He would help you understand

That your name is written on the palm of His hand

He dances over you with singing

Yes! Your life is filled with meaning

So don’t give up

I know times get hard

But remember that you’re never alone

You have your God

And He thinks of you

I have created a quick video of this encouragement. Listen to me read this poem and be encouraged. You are loved. If you enjoyed the video, subscribe to my Youtube channel, leave me a comment below, and give God glory for who He is.

Invest in What You Want: Read the Bible and Pray

October 10, 2017 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Sometimes, while going through life, it is easy to feel burned out and overwhelmed. This is even more common when we haven’t spent the time necessary for rejuvenation, alone with God in His word or in prayer.

So many people say things like, “I don’t have time to read the Bible,” or “I don’t know how to pray.” However like anything else in life, we must invest in what we want.

Do you ever say these things?

If not, what do you say?

Do you take the time that you need to spend with God?

Do you want a better relationship with Him?

Do you want to hear His voice, for yourself?

Do you want to know His will and plans for you?

Do you want freedom from stress and peace of mind?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, the answer you desire is found in God and His word.

I encourage you to take some time to read the Bible.

Yes, it’s a big book, but you don’t have to read it all in one sitting. You could read it one chapter at a time. You could start at Genesis and just read.

I’m currently in a group and we are studying the Bible one chapter at a time. However, if you’ve never read the Bible, from cover to cover, I suggest that you start with reading the books of the Bible, first. If you feel like you could handle both, you could read and study it at the same time, but if the idea of this feels overwhelming, just pick one thing.

My suggestion is that you start out by reading the word, one chapter at a time and that you journal about your observations and thoughts. Write out how you could apply your readings to your life and situations. At the end of each journal, write out a prayer to the Lord, that was inspired by your readings.

Yes, if you journal a prayer, you are still praying. That’s actually how I got started praying. I’d sit and journal out my prayers. I was afraid that someone would hear me and I only wanted God to hear me, so I would journal. After building a relationship with Him and reading more of His word, I became more confident in my prayers. I started saying them out-loud, but I still journal prayers. The prayers that I would journal always started with “Dear God,” and ended with “In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

I encourage you to take the time to invest in your relationship with our Heavenly Father. You’ll feel more refreshed and encouraged than you ever have. He will rejuvenate you, while you are in His presence.

If you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and frustration, this is the place to start. Enter into the presence of God and allow Him to fulfill your needs. You have a God sized hole inside of you that longs to be filled. You might be filling up on the wrong things, and that’s why you feel the way that you do. If you take the time to fill up on Him on a daily, and even throughout the day basis, you will find that your life will change. Your anxiety will go away. You won’t feel depressed. You will be less frustrated.

Think about it, but don’t just think about it. Do it. Invest the time necessary to build yourself up in the Lord, establish and continue a relationship with Him, and be strengthened through prayer.

Do you have a spiritual wound that won’t seem to go away?

May 16, 2017 By Mrs. Mom 2 Comments

As a mom of four, I’ve seen quite a few booboos. We have to keep a box of band aids in the house because my children are always getting injured in one way or another. They come to me when they get hurt, feeling like the world is over and, nine times out of ten, I’m able to tell them that it’s ok. They don’t always believe me initially, but I just tell them again that they got hurt and it’s going to be alright.

My thought process

When I think about this as a parent, especially a parent of four, I know that this is just apart of growing. When learning a new skill, like riding a bike, in order to get better at it, children fall. They scrape their knees and end up needing hugs, band-aids, and pep talks in order to calm their nerves, ease their pain and try again.

Little lessons like these, combined with my own growing pains have caused me to realize that we are no different. We grow and as we learn new skills, mature in life, and learn to be better, we get a few booboos along the way.

Be here’s the thing, some wounds are deeper than others. Some require more care than others and more bandages to protect from infection.

Small reminders

Not only do I have to remind my children not to pick at their wounds, I have to make sure to keep the wound clean and covered. On top of this necessary and obvious care needed for my children’s wounds, I have to remind them that no matter where we are in the process, the wound is healing. It has to, that’s how we were made. With the proper care and time, that scrape will get better because it wasn’t a fatal injury.

See the way that God built our bodies was to give us protective layers and barriers that make sure our inner parts, the more necessary ones, are not harmed. These are the parts that keep us alive, breathing, eating, and moving. When we are hurt by falling and scuffing up our knees, our skin begins to heal, but our minds remember the event and learns from it. We begin to process that being off-balance on a bike leads to falling. Touching a hot stove leads to being burned. Touching an aggressive dog leads to being bitten or snapped at. These lessons prepare us for bigger tasks and allow us to remember that although there are great things we want to experience, we should use our skills, use wisdom, and proceed with caution.

That’s what happens with the little scrapes and bumps that our children get. It’s also what happens when we are growing in life and growing spiritually.

The Timing of the Wound

We have all encountered situations that have caused us pain. Something has happened to us or we had an experience that opened a wound. Normally, these wounds, no matter their situation, came at some pivotal point in our lives. They came when we were at a certain season of life and began to progress through that season.

It could have been a spiritual, emotional, relational, or physical experience. No matter what it was, these experience have an effect on us spiritually, whether we know it or not.

Prayer for healing in the process

Now, I know that you knew we were going to discuss something that would make you a bit less comfortable than normal and we are, but first, let’s pray.

Father, we love you. We come to you humbly Lord, first and foremost asking you to forgive us for sins that we have committed, both knowingly and unknowingly. Give us peace, Lord. We desire wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We ask you to provide what we need to explore this topic without fear, because You’re perfect love casts out all fear. Help us to grow and see that the wounds are not the end, but instead a part of the process. Open our hearts and give us what we need to live this life to the fullest. Help us to heal from both spiritual and emotional wounds that we have experienced. Cause our broken hearts to be reminded that you do not despise us, but instead you love us. Wrap us in your arms of love and bring healing to our wounded souls in the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

The process of healing

When you think about your wound, I want to ask yourself a few questions. When the wound was first opened, did you take the time to assess the damage? I ask this because it is very important. Remember when I was talking about my children, I mentioned scrapes and bruises that were not fatal.

Did you clean the wound and cover it with the proper dressing or band-aid? Did you make sure to go back occasionally, clean it up, and redress the bandage?

If you are honest, in most cases, the answer is no. We get hurt and we normally do one or two things immediately. We cry, cover it up, and either never go back on the spiritual bike again out of fear, or we try to push past the obstacle to master the challenge. There’s a problem with this though.

Wounds that are not well cared for can get infected, seep deeper into our bodies, and never completely heal. Remember, the way that we are built. There is a mechanism to overcome built within us by God. Whether we want to or not, we are always in the process of healing. The problem comes in when we don’t properly care for the wound. It can leave a residue, develop puss, and a stench. It can become more that a growing pain because of a lack of care.

Do you have wounds that just won’t seem to heal?

At this point, I am going to assume that the answer is yes.

I want to help you heal, but first there are a few things that we have to do.

We have to clean the wound up, by taking and thinking about what happened. That’s how you begin to assess the situation, determine the type of damage that could have been done, and decide how to treat the wound.

Second we have to find the proper tools to assist you in the healing process. We have to gather all of the tools that are needed for the type of wound that you have. There are big bandages and small ones. They all work, but we have to find the one that you need.

Third, we have to properly dress the wound and you can’t pick at it. If you do, it could open back up.

I want to remind you that all wounds have the potential to leave a scar, but that’s a different post. Just don’t be alarmed if you end up with a scar from this wound. It’s not always a bad thing. I actually think it’s a good reminder that you’re healed and have made it out of a painful situation that wasn’t tough enough to kill you.

What’s next?

For now, here’s what I want you to do. Take a moment to think and journal about this wound that you have. Ponder some to the things below

What is a natural wound that you have? Perhaps you fell and scraped your knee as a kid. Write about what happened. Give the details of the incident. Do you remember how it happened? Do you remember how it was cared for? If so, describe it. What lesson did you learn from this or where were you in the learning process? Finally realize that the wound did heal because you are still alive and breathing.

Now for the spiritual wound.

What happened? You have to take sometime to really think and journal about this. You can’t avoid this process. It’s apart of accessing the damage that was done to you.
Write about the immediate care that was given to the treatment of the wound. What did you do after it happened to take care of yourself? Did someone else attempt to help you care for it? What type if pain did you experience? What type of discomfort are you still experiencing from the wound?
Did the wound get infected? Why isn’t it healing? Did that experience cause something else to happen in you? Did you develop bitterness, jealousy, anger, or something else? Be honest with yourself about this. It doesn’t do you any good to cover it up, if it isn’t cleaned up.
How bad do you want this wound to heal? Talk about what it did to you in the past and what it would mean for you to be healed. What type of fear have you experienced? What has it kept you from doing? Has it tormented you or kept you in bondage? What type of freedom would you experience, if this wound were to finally heal?

Think journal and pray about this. Then comeback. I want to take you though the next step in this process, but this is the first step and one of the hardest, thinking about it.

3 Practical Things a 21st Century Woman Can Do to Make Sure She is Walking in the Spirit

May 9, 2017 By Mrs. Mom 2 Comments

In my last post, we discussed the problem of Walking In the Spirit as a 21st Century Woman. If you didn’t get a chance to read that post, I’d like to encourage you to take a moment to read that post. Once you have read it and thought about what we discussed, come back here so that we can look at the 3 Practical Things that I promised you.

Before we dive into those 3 things, did you take the time to journal about those questions that I asked you? If you did not, please take the time to do it now. This post isn’t going anywhere and I know from experience that journaling helps process topic so much better that just thinking about them.

If you did get to journal about the topics, what did you find out about yourself, your atmosphere, and your current spiritual standing? If you are like me, you are not completely surprised. You knew a while ago that there were things that you needed and could feel that the world was pulling on you more and more each day.

This is normal. There are going to be different seasons in our lives where we do an assessment and find things that need to go and other things that we want to implement into our lives.

One important question that I asked you was if you actually believed that your problem could be fixed. Do you really believe that there is hope in this situation. I am going to assume that because you are still reading this, your answer is yes.

Why does it matter what I believe?

Well, I’m glad that you asked. The Bible says that those who come to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. This means that what you and I believe is extremely important to the outcome of our situations. If you are still doubting that God is able to bring you out of the place that you are currently in and that you can overcome this, I would advise you to stop and ask yourself why you are struggling with this in your faith.

Do you think that the way that women live today is a obstacle to living in the Spirit? If you don’t really see the problem yet, I would encourage you to take a few days and live your life as normal. Journal each night about the problems that you face, the mindset that you find yourself in, and the things that influence you. After about 3-5 days of this, go back and read what you wrote. Make a list of the issues and then come back to this post, so that we can move forward.

When you’re ready, I’m ready. So, Let’s go!

3 Practical Things You Can Do to Make Sure that You ARE Walking in the Spirit

Once again, let’s stop and glean from the word of God.

Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Verse 16. I say then, Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts

Galatians 5:26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

As we look at the scriptures, we can see specific words being used. This words indicate action. They are verbs like live, walk, fulfill, let, obey, become, provoke, envy.

Let’s take ownership of our actions and look at the 3 things you can do to make sure that you are walking in the Spirit.

1. Be conscious, tender hearted, and aware of what is happening in and around you.

Remember that the flesh wars against the spirit, constantly. You have to know whats happening in you, as you are having various experiences in life. This means that you cannot avoid being alone. You can’t tell yourself that you don’t need to think and reflect on life. You have to hold yourself accountable and journal out your feelings and thoughts. You have to give yourself the freedom to tell the truth about what’s happening, as your journal. Keep your heart tender and remain conscious, by not allowing yourself to spiritually die. What happens in you when you experience life? How does it affect you? How can you protect your heart without building walls? Are you able to set up boundaries that will act as fences in your life?

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it

2. Be Prayerful

This one is very easy, or so it may seem, but it requires persistence. No matter what happens, you have to keep an open line of communication with the Lord.

Talk to Him

Ask of Him

Seek Him for direction

Continually have a heart of prayer because it is a type of life line. It keeps you connected to the Lord at all times. You can speak to Him and know that He hears you. Please do not forget that you can hear from Him as He answers the things that you inquire of Him about. Even when you don’t know what to do, God does, so pray. He cares about you, so give your problems to Him. There is great power in prayer, so make sure to remain prayerful.

3. Listen & Do

You have to make a point to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit in your life. Listen to the Lord, as you hear His voice. Make sure to do what you hear Him say or what He leads you to do. Some things will come as unctions instead of words, you have to know that you have the ability to hear from the Lord, but you also have to choose to do the things that He calls you to do.

When you stop listening your spirit can succumb to the flesh and disobedience can seep in. It won’t come alone. Bitterness, anger, jealousy, selfish ambitions, and all of the works of the flesh will attempt to overtake you, if you turn a deaf ear to the Lord.

Though we live in the 21st century and there is a lot up against us, there is also a lot for us… GOD.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Pull though and force your character to be godly. Remember those action words form earlier in this conversation? Make a decision to live, walk, and obey the Lord. Become the woman that God has called you to be and overcome the works of darkness, by following these 3 practical steps. At first it might feel hard to turn down the noise and focus, but the more you turn from evil, the more you will embrace the freedom that you were given in Christ Jesus.

Do it today! Just make a commitment to take these 3 practical steps each day of your life, at every opportunity that you get.

Be conscious, tender hearted, and aware of what is happening in and around you.
Be prayerful
Listen & Do

If you have found this helpful, consider purchasing my book “Being Mrs. Mom: A Christian Woman, Wife and Mother Living in the 21st Century.” It’s pact with my struggles and how I have overcome my past, myself, and my pain to become the woman that God calls me to be.

The Trouble with Walking in the Spirit as a 21st Century Woman

May 6, 2017 By Mrs. Mom 2 Comments

Many, many, many years ago, women had a hard time living according to the word of God. Their neighbors from villages around the city were living perversely, serving other gods and tasting the fruit of strange things.

Women like Rahab, that desired to serve the Lord, had to leave their villages and all that they had ever known to become holy and sanctified. Turning from all that she knew, she gave herself over to the ways of the Lord. She learned how to live a life of holiness.

Becoming meek was taught to the women by the old and elderly. Loving husbands and children were skills that the aged found pride in teaching to the youth. The fruit of the Spirit, while developed over time, came with commentary and was dwelled upon, as the women laid under the starry sky surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Although not easy, being a woman of God, in the city of the Lord was not unheard of or strange.

Fast forward at least 2,000 years and you find a completely different scenario. Not only do women still have a hard time living for the Lord, it is almost impossible without total isolation. The old are teaching the young that there is no value in being a wife or a mother; they are simply hindrances to obtaining life goals, obstacles placed in the way of the ambitious. They urge the youth to consider that God is not real. Tempted by the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, women today find themselves lost, struggling to understand how to live this life as a godly woman.

The clothes, the songs, the entertainment all make it hard for her to hear the voice of God. Blaring from the speakers of the 4K television in the bedroom are the voices of the world echoing in her head, pulling her towards what she doesn’t long for. The pictures on her phone challenge her to compare herself to what she has seen. Social media calls out to her with the constant rings and dings, causing her to lose focus on the things that are most important to her.

The call of God on her life becomes drowned out and all she can think of are the words of the world.

“Be more, do more, get more…”

Each message screams for her attention, her love, her worship.

But really, she yearns for something else… someone that will fulfill her. As the Holy Spirit calls on her, she finds it hard to live according to the Spirit. She struggles within. Love isn’t what she wants because she feels hate. Peace is not what she craves because there is constantly conflict in and around her. Joy is foreign because she just wants to be happy.

Long-suffering…humph, what’s that? You mean instant gratification.

Goodness is gone as she seeks her own good and for that alone, in the name of God. Gentleness, meekness, and temperance (also known as self-control) are just words. There are no examples. They have lost their meanings. Their good has now been made evil. Turned to weakness, stupid, and foolish. Faith has been thrown out the window and traded in for doubt…I mean logic.

What’s the problem? Can it be solved?

What’s the struggle. The time, the era, the day that we are living it. Its corrupt and if we are not careful, it will corrupt us.

SO how do we stop ourselves from becoming this woman.

Honestly, we have to remain sensitive and recognize the benefits of walking according to the Spirit, but there is still a simpler way.

Let’s stop for a moment and see what we can glean from the scriptures.

Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Verse 16. I say then, Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts

Galatians 5:26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

As we look at the scriptures, we can see specific words being used. This words indicate action. They are verbs like live, walk, fulfill, let, obey, become, provoke, envy.

So what?! Why should I care if it’s an action word?

I’m glad that you asked.

These words tell us that we can do or not do them. When we look at what the Lord is saying to us through the word, He is speaking very clearly about the way that we should be aiming to solve our problems.

If we say that we are women of faith, then we are living in the Spirit. If we live in the Spirit, we should also take it upon ourselves to walk in the Spirit as well. This means that we have to choose to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Let’s look at it practically

Since we all struggle with this, we must recognize that this is nothing new. Instead it is something that every believer must endure and push through to overcome. We must admonish and encourage one another. When no one else is around, we must listen to the unctions of the Holy Spirit and encourage ourselves.

There are a few other things that we can do to solve this problem practically, but let’s take some time to think on this. I recommend that you journal out your answers, so that you are able to really process where you stand before we move forward.

What are some of the distractions that pull on you heart, requiring your worship, and all of your attention?

What stops you from having quiet time with the Lord, quiet time to think, time to rest in Him?

What songs, entertainment, and television shows cause you to struggle with walking in the Spirit and inspire you to walk in the lust of the flesh?

How does this effect you? How does it make you feel? Do you really think that there is anything that you can do about it?

After you have journaled about these topics, specifically answering these questions, take a moment to pray about this. Ask the Lord to help you let go of the old and corrupt things that tug on you, so that you can grab hold of Him.

Later on in the next week, I’ll be sharing with you 3 Practical Things You Can Do to Solve the Problem of Walking in the Spirit as a 21st Century Woman
