Ok @SummrWrites I just listened to your latest ep. so story time: when I was in 7th grade, me and 3 other students won 1st place in the Bayer/NSF award competition and $5k each plus a trip to Disney world to go behind the scenes with engineers 4 our invention the Stopping Cart 1/
It was a shopping cart with brakes because many grocery stores and places like target pay out $5-10k PER STORE per year for damages to people and cars by shopping carts left out in the lot 😂 #thiscouldvebeenavoicemail

Thinking a bit this morning on if the mental health crisis in our nation is just a manifestation of a certain degree of selfishness?

I remember quite vividly when I was woke telling my husband on a number of occasions: “I think I need to see a therapist.” 🧵
There was nothing actually wrong with me, but I was on a journey of self discovery 🥴 discovering my “traumas” and “triggers” and what the origin of those really were. In a sense, I just wanted to talk about and know more about myself, as well as blame others for my faults.
I also remember (embarrassingly) telling Brad once that “I just don’t know who I am anymore” and as stupid as that sounds, it’s a sentiment many young people are replaying out to their social media audience rn.

It’s a major reason why the Enneagram is so popular.

I think it’s time we had a much needed discussion on Christian abortion ethics and what that involves.

Even tho my joy on Friday was great, its been disheartening to see so many professing believers either lament the decision outright or believe they must weep with prochoicers.
I don’t sympathize or empathize and I’ll tell you why:

The Bible tells me that my conscience should not be ruled by my emotions. Self control is part of the fruit of the Spirit after all, and Jeremiah 17:9 tells me that my heart is deceitful above all things.
Because of this I can use reason and logic to look at the misinformation being passed around about miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies being denied the proper care because they are labeled “abortions” for insurance purposes and know these are outright lies.

Wives & mothers, it’s no accident you have a tendency toward divided attention. We should thank God for it—He made women with the capability to bear multiple children + teach them, manage a household, and be a loving wife to her husband all while keeping God a priority. (1/5)
This means when you are having difficulty finding a quiet moment, we can lean into our God given ability to juggle multiple things at once.

So you can spend time in God’s word and meditate on it while planning your weeks worth of meals for the fam, weeding the garden, (2/5)
carrying a new baby on your hip and nursing him, fastening the button on your older child’s outfit, stirring the soup over the stove, and picking up the clutter in the hallway.

We shouldn’t see this as chaotic. We should see this as strategic. (3/5)

For awhile I found myself struggling to rest as a wife and mother on Sundays so here are some sabbath tips for any ladies:
1. Clean your kitchen and empty your dishwasher (or load it and start!) before bed night before.
2. Do an extra load of laundry and fold/put away Sat. 1/6
3. Sweep/vacuum the night before (clean floors make me feel calm!)
4. Pick out the kid’s church clothes so you aren’t rushed in the morning to do so and dad can help dress them if necessary!
5. Determine a menu and marinate meat/prepare any foods ahead of time if possible. 2/6
6. Put away clutter. Do away w it saturday so that Sunday is restful.
7. In my case, i organize the baby’s diaper bag & make sure it contains everything I need to grab and go for church.
8. Wake up early for coffee & reading if you need time to relax before getting ready. 3/6

I can tell you that last week and this Monday I didn’t *feel* like rejoicing or being thankful. I felt alone & abandoned. I felt like God allowed something terrible to happen. Why?

But those times I was led by His Spirit to scripture where He spoke to me of His goodness.
Then in my prayers I thanked God for that goodness and praised Him even though I didn’t *feel* like doing so. I said to myself over and over “fear not” and “blessed be the name of the Lord” not because I was happy and *felt* like saying it, but because I was supposed to say it.
God has commanded to give thanks in all circumstances. We won’t always feel like doing so. But praise God He will always make His power perfect in our weakness. He will always be there to cover us in His love and joy and peace.

It seems like every day I see someone on Twitter complain that Christian twitter harps too much on marriage and babies. What’s a single girl to do who wants to glorify God if she can’t do those things?

My word, there is so much work to be done! Here’s a good start:
(Gasp! She said work! Someone alert the TR 😂)

1. Go grocery shopping for your elderly, pregnant, & sick members or even the ones who just had a baby. Turns out grocery shopping still needs to be done when you’re bone tired or bed ridden.
2. While you’re at it, fix some freezer meals for those folks. This is not only necessary work sometimes, it is SO overlooked as one of the most wonderful gifts you can give a new mom, a family caring for someone sick, or an elderly person.
