To surrender our will to the will of God so that we may be able to be used by Him. (To be a vessel of honour). 2 Timothy 2:20.
Self-preservation-a hinderance to the narrow path
Recently the Lord has been speaking to me about self-preservation and I thought I would share since this is something we all struggle with even if we are of the selfless minority. We live in a world and time that seems to scream at the top of it’s lungs, “what about me?” Whether it be…
Submission-Clothed in beauty
While the world mocks submission and tries to turn it into something ugly, dirty and weak. God sees it as something beautiful, holy and divine.
Being your husband’s helper
Many of us wives forget this foundational principle found back in Genesis 2:18 which tells us that we were created to be a helper. Not just a helper in the general sense, but a helpmeet or helper sepecifically for our own husband. Why? Because it is not good for man to be alone. Be a…
The beauty of a Woman of God
These scriptures reveal what is truly supposed to be admired in a Godly woman. The world is full of aesthetically beautiful woman but what is highly prized in God’s eyes is that incorruptible beauty of a meek and quiet spirit.

On the surface, this seems pretty harmless. After all, we as wives and Mothers, whether working or home-makers, understand that we as woman…

Give your stuff a new life, bless someone in the process
Motivation to let go Sometimes it’s difficult to find motivation to let go of the items that we know we don’t need or use any more. We may pull an item out from a drawer or closet and think, ‘maybe one day I’l need this’. Or this was a really special gift I received from…
How to create your dream home
As a home-maker who seeks to live a more simple life, less clutter, less distraction. I sometimes worry that my simple de-cluttered home, won’t be homely enough. Growing up in an inexpensively, yet beautifully furnished home, I have grown to love and enjoy decor and design. Our surroundings can nourish the soul, help us to…
