Blessed & Beautiful Homestead

Joe had an unexpected deployment with the Coast Guard & has been gone for almost a month. I'm over here reminiscing on all of the separations we've had with the military & how difficult they can be. But I'm also over here grateful for this little reminder of just how my I love him & miss him so when he's gone. Today's show is just a gentle nudge to remind you to love your spouse well. Give them an extra hug or hold them for an extra minute because you never know when they might not be there...

Thanks for joining me today my friends! Cheers...

Let's talk PORN, shall we? Sex addiction is a real thing. Our culture embraces & encourages acts of sex that are not within God's design for sex or marriage. Nobody wants to talk about it. They're too embarrassed or too ashamed & if you dare to say that it's wrong, you will be judged and deemed an uptight, bible-thumping Christian that's insecure about yourself.

I'm here to tell you that the enemy would love nothing more than for us all to rot away in our sinful ways, all by ourselves. We must not be silent on the issue of PORN addiction. This is a pandemic sweeping across the nation and worldwide. As Christians, we have to porn proof our homes & the first step to doing this is acknowledging the issue DOES exist & that it is a sin. And just in case you're struggling with a sexual addiction or maybe you love someone who is...I want you to know, you're not alone! There is hope...and His name is Jesus.

Here are some resources from today's show:

1) This website shares 56 neurological studies supporting the fact that PORN is just as addictive as taking drugs, I encourage your to examine this content, it will open your eyes to the TRUE dangers of porn addiction & what it does to the brain:

2) Covenant Eyes is a company that has developed "screen accountability" software to monitor, track and block certain internet activity on your devices. Covenant Eyes sends a scheduled report to the accountability partner. We use Covenant Eyes in our home & it's a great tool to help porn proof your home & lessen the temptation for your loved one:

3) If you or your loved one is struggling with a sexual addiction, I encourage you to explore Heart to Heart counseling center with Dr. Doug Weiss. He also has a YouTube channel. His program has been very helpful to our marriage & is helping us learn & stay committed to the process of recovery:

Today we're talking about what the Bible says about being the salt & light. What does that mean anyway? How can we be the salt & light not only in our culture but most importantly, in our home? It all starts at home. Sometimes it can be a lonely place, when you feel that you're the only one that is pursuing a relationship with Christ & when you're trying to keep him & his word alive in your home. But today, I want to encourage you, you're not alone! And even when it feels like no-one else is watching OR cares, God is & does. Don't grow weary my friends! Rest in the fact that our strength comes from the Lord. Colossians 3:23 "Everything you do, do it heartily as if working for the Lord, not for men."

Hello friends,

In today's episode, I'm going to share with you WHY we homeschool. We're going to talk culture, education, sexualization, God...and so much more! Don't miss today's episode where I share my raw, unfiltered thoughts on homeschooling.

If you're considering homeschooling, I want you to know, YOU are not alone! I will be your mama friend. You can do this. There is no-one more qualified to teach your children than you!

1. As promised in today's episode, here is the link to the Homeschool Legal Defense Association's website (HSLDA), if you are already a homeschooler or maybe considering homeschooling I REALLY encourage you to check out their site. There are so many helpful resources for you & you can look up the state that you live in & it will list all of your state requirements:

2. Here is the link to the homeschool curriculum that we use in our homeschool! It is a Christian based curriculum & we love it! It's affordable & easy to follow:
