Rooted In Faith Family Farmlife

One of the scariest things can be trying to figure out HOW to even get started with homeschooling! What I's do I need to dot? What T's do I need to cross?

The purpose of this podcast has always been to share Gods messages and build...

How does motherhood relate to the Israelites walking through the desert? Yeah, I asked that question too during my Bible recap this past week and to be honest, I got stuck trying to understand the correlation God wanted me to see. But thankfully the lightbulb turned on the other day and it started to make sense! No matter what season of life you are in, God wants us to thrive not survive; so I hop...

Homeschooling is not meant to be public school done at home! There is a mindshift that has to take place when you start homeschooling. Often we see these pictures on pinterest and we watch these families on youtube and they seem to have this homeschooling thing figured out! This can give us great ideas of what we want our "setup" to look like but all to often it sets us up for unrealistic expectat...

Birth is something that we have turned into a medical condition... an issue that needs to be dealt with. But the truth is, it is the most amazing natural process that we can experience!

Thank you to www.myp...

I never want my boys to regret being a part of a larger family!

Growing a family isn't always as easy as ABC... Sometimes it comes with a lot of heartache and trauma.

Homesteading doesn't mean that you have to raise 100s of animals or farm 100s of acres!

As I record these podcasts I sometimes wonder if I sound like a broken record but please hear me when I say, "God isn't done with you yet!" Satan is really good at finding our weak areas, the cracks in our life jar if you will and he works through our emotions and feelings to tear away at those soft spots. If you can relate, give this episode a listen! Thank you to www.mypillow.com for working wit...

For those that say the Bible isn't relative to today... needs to have their eyes checked! It amazes me how history repeats itself and it's scary that we over look it and say we would never do those terrible things again!

We all want to feel like we have a bigger purpose... to know that we "fit in" somewhere... that we matter and belong! But all to often, we place that belonging into the people and the things around us rather than in the truth! So, today, let's talk about where we need to place our Belonging! Make sure to check out www.rootedinfaithfamilyfarmlife.com for updated blogging posts, our 2023 Planner wil...

Have you ever looked at grapevines? Each fall/winter they are pruned so that there is almost nothing left. Each spring new branches come forth and are fruitful. If they were let to grow wild on their own, chances are the branches would grow into each other, get tangled and mangled to the point where the plant isn't as fruitful as it could be. Our lives are the same way. God wants to prune and cut...

If that title doesn't grab you, I don't know what will! Whoever thought you couldn't learn something from livestock has never cared for animals. I find that I am learning lessons daily, sometimes more vividly then I feel are neccessary. So let's chat about Humility! I mentioned a new homeschooling resource that we are in love with!

I mentioned a new homeschooling resource that we are in love with! Check out https://youtu.be/7P8B8qGfZEs fo...

I feel like there is A LOT in this episode so if it seems to wiggle wall all over the place, I promise there is a point! The boys and I saw the most amazing rainbow the other evening and it was such a reminder that God has created so much beauty in the world from the small worm that crawls up from the ground to the rain showers you can watch roll in from the distance. No matter how seemingly small...

Mommy needed a time out... I went out on our back porch in the dark evening and sat alone. I cried my frustrations out for God to hear. How could I do this? Here I am 18 weeks pregnant with baby #6 and I can barely handle the emotions of my 5 and 3 year olds! Clearly I was not cut out for this... I will never be enough! If you have had those same thoughts, then this episode is for you! We all have...
