When you have a growing family, and especially whe

When you have a growing family, and especially when you have babies or toddlers that wake up frequently or are fighting whatever structure seemed to be working for a while, it can be really tough. However, over the years my husband and I have discovered some principles that have helped us significantly with establishing some life-giving rhythm in our days. And because I’m asked about this topic fairly often I thought I’d share a few of those principles with you.
.
• First Discipline, Then Flexibility
• Consistency
• Use Time Blocks
• Ask God for Wisdom
.
Remember, friend, you’re not alone as you wrestle through establishing structure for your days. Every mom faces the struggles of feeling behind or overwhelmed or unsure of how to create order in some area (or many). But God will give you what you need for today. He has called you to the season you are in now, and He will not leave or forsake you.
.
Another blog post is up! Returning to the practical this week. ☺️ I hope this will provide some fresh inspiration for you if you’re feeling the need to re-vamp your daily or weekly routines.

“That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit

“That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach the full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.” Colossians 2:2-4
.
Delude: to mislead the mind or judgement of
Plausible: superficially fair, reasonable, or valuable but often specious (having a false look of truth)
.
There are a million plausible arguments swirling around in our world; arguments that have the appearance of truth. But when heeded, they will surely lead us away from truth.
.
How do we guard our minds and hearts against these lies? By delighting in Jesus. We have “full assurance of understanding” when we are saturated in the knowledge of Christ. Because in Christ are *all* treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
.
We need look no further than Jesus (as revealed in the Bible) to find the answers we need for this life. We don’t need any “extra” knowledge beyond this to help us interpret who God “really” is or what He “really” says. Beware of those who say you do—who tell you some other source is actually necessary to truly understand what the Bible says.
.
In Christ is everything we need. Let’s delight ourselves in Him today.

The world says we have to have an opinion on every

The world says we have to have an opinion on everything, pressuring us to voice them even before we have fully formed (or informed) conclusions. But that’s not true. It’s ok to be quiet. It’s right to be committed to being slow to speak, weighing our words carefully (James 1:19). It’s prudent to let the emotions settle, not letting our conclusions be dictated by how we feel (or how others tell us we should feel).

Some time around the end of last year as I witness

Some time around the end of last year as I witnessed our country’s upheaval, polarized views, growing animosity, and division amongst those who claim the name of Christ, I sensed the Lord leading me into a rather focused season of learning, observing, and listening. There are so many issues that are causing schisms in Christian circles; things that some might say are political, but what I believe are fundamentally worldview issues. And I’m more and more convinced that we as Christians need to be diligent to know whether or not these prevalent belief systems are compatible with a Christian worldview according to the Bible.

And it starts with me.

I know that a stay-at-home mom of 4 +1 on the way with no traditional higher education is a rather unlikely candidate for this kind of study in some ways. Why not just focus on caring for my children and keeping my home? Because I believe it’s absolutely critical that we get it right in the home first. The widely accepted worldviews aren’t just “out there” anymore: they are coming into our homes. They are influencing both us and our children through social media (and media in general) as well as others we might be spending time with. Our kids will probably start hearing these trendy worldviews from their friends. And if we are going to prepare the next generation to think biblically, truthfully, and critically, it starts now. It starts here. It starts with moms, dads – men and women – who are committed to following Christ and discipling the next generation in truth.
.
Today on the blog I’m sharing three principles that have been helpful and encouraging to me as I’ve dived into these waters of learning:
• Know the Bible
• Beware of “New Knowledge”
• Listen to Reliable Sources
