Encouraging Scriptures for Stay At Home Moms

If you’ve recently quit your job to listen to that stirring from God to become a stay at home mom, then you’re going to need some verses to tuck into your arsenal. Anytime you’re following God’s calling in your life, the enemy is sure to be right there trying to tear you down. One of the most powerful tools in the battle against him is God’s word. 

These verses are ones that have encouraged me through the years. I like to write verses down that God gives me for that season and tape them up all over my house. Anytime I feel that doubt coming on, I think on these. 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things”. Matthew 6:31-32

“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Matthew 7:11

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up” Galatians 6:9 

“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ” 1 Peter 1:6-7

“…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

      I did have it listed on each one but then I thought it looked too cluttered so I removed it, but I mostly pull scripture from the ESV, NIV, KJV, and NKJV translations

The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. It's the kind of The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. It's the kind of place where you have to remind yourself to breathe because the beauty steals your breath. 

We took all 5 of our kids through Yellowstone and while everyone was soaking up God's stunning creation, I was busy trying not to puke with anxiety. I was terrified one of my kids was going to trip and plumet to their brutal death.

This is how the enemy uses fear to steal your joy in motherhood. We can either soak up all the good that God has for us or we can choose to keep our eyes steadfast on all the what if's.

Today, I am going to choose to lavish these moments God has given me on this earth. I will have to make this choice 5,286 times a day because I am prone to worry. Fear is my comfortable place, but it's not a place of beauty. I don't want to be old and think back on my motherhood with regrets that I missed out on everything or that I made my kids miss out because of my own fears. 

Don't let your fears rob your children of their joy.
As women, we have a longing to be more spiritual. As women, we have a longing to be more spiritual. It's an age-old, deeply rooted hunger that the serpent preyed on in the garden when he tempted Eve with knowledge. "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5). Many of us busy ourselves with becoming wiser. We read all the books. We take all the classes.

When we feel we've worked on ourselves enough, we set our eyes on our husbands. We try to push him to God. We take on this responsibility of changing our husbands into the men we want them to be. We forget that "... he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6b). It's hard for me to admit I'm probably the biggest offender of this. But, God showed me that I was just interfering with His work in my husband. I was interfering with God being able to use my husband.

I will stand back. I will be still as I watch God work. I choose to look at my husband through God's lenses,"Lord, help me to see my husband through your eyes." I'm going to go against the world and I will ensure the words from my mouth empower my husband to be the man God has called him to be.
Many tears were shed during school this morning. Many tears were shed during school this morning.  My mommy tank gas light came on about a week ago and I have dwindled down to fumes. The kind of fumes where I flee to the bathroom every time I hear, "Mommmmmmy" (which is quite often when you have 5 kids). It's been 6 weeks since I have left my house...6 weeks since I have gotten to spend any amount of time by myself. 
My husband urged me on today to fill my tank. 
I drove and drove, with the worship music loud enough to rattle my lungs, barely tolerable for these aging ears of mine. I worshipped. I cried. I prayed. Then, I stopped and read a book, in complete silence, with only the little birdies distracting me.

It was heavenly. And, I am ready to return home on a full tank.

It's important for us to take time to ourselves as moms. During these difficult times, don't neglect yourself.

What creative things have you done to get mommy breaks when everything is locked down?
Do you have a hunger to feel useful? To have purpo Do you have a hunger to feel useful? To have purpose? 
If you would have played a snippet from my life right now to the 21-year old me, I would never in a million years guess that it was a snippet from my future life. I would have guessed maybe a snippet from some of my other friends who seemed to have it all together and love the Lord. Me? I was one of the bad girls. I got in with the wrong crowd and chose partying over walking with the Lord. 
I think many of us have this desire but give up because we'll never be good enough for God to use us. 
So, how did I go from that to being a useful vessel for the Lord?

I am enjoying having to make our own communion bre I am enjoying having to make our own communion bread for church, especially on a day like today. It's much more thoughtful than just walking up and grabbing some off a tray.

It makes me really think about what Jesus went through just for me...all the awful I would ever do, He knew it all and yet He still did it for me. He purchased me with His very own blood. 
Before He even gave His life, He had to go through the fire, to make his body ready to be a sacrifice for us. 
Anyone else making their own?
Sure, I am telling everyone that everything will b Sure, I am telling everyone that everything will be ok. I am telling everyone to trust in the Lord and that He's got this. But, inside, everything is exploding. I am so freaked out that I have the constant urge to throw up and I keep thinking, "Wow, that must have been a great workout at the gym" because my muscles ache so much. But, I haven't been to the gym in a week-they ache because I am so tense.

I picture myself in a game of freeze tag and someone has tagged me. I am standing there, frozen solid in position. I can't move forward. I am paralyzed.

I was laying in bed last night when God gave me this picture. It was of a field of wheat with ripe grain, ready to be plucked. The field blew in gentle waves and stretched on to the horizon.

Then, God showed me how I am absolutely and totally paralyzed with fear. I have an opportunity to be used by God in huge ways but dingbat me is utterly useless right now.

The harvest is ripe but the workers are few. I believe that our nation is going to be more receptive to the gospel than ever before.

I don't know if anyone can relate but I need to stop being such a dingbat. I want to be used by God in this huge opportunity we have. The harvest is ripe and plentiful. I want to see God come in and reap.
Road trip with my girl to watch my niece try on pr Road trip with my girl to watch my niece try on princess dresses (aka wedding dresses). I am so thankful for this special girly time hanging out with my nieces and my daughter.

Taking them on these little trips is one way we get one-on-one time with each of our 5 kids and help them to feel special for a bit.

Do you have any special traditions you do with your kids?
