Are you waiting on something? Are you waiting for your marriage to get better, the perfect spouse to come along, your first (or third) baby, a health issue to get resolved?

But whatever it is, let's talk about some of the easy, and hard, things I've had to wait on in life. And let's walk through some amazing scriptures that will get us through these hard times.

While this could be controversial, let's not make it so. It's time to face the facts that, whether we like it or not, politics and homesteading go hand in hand. If you want to keep your food freedoms and freedom to live this homesteading lifestyle, it's time to show up! I have recently been asked why we're continuing to host the Homesteaders of America conference in a state were most people don't agree with their politics. I'm going to answer that question in this podcast! We get down into the nitty gritty of it all in this week's podcast.

In a society filled with pressures and burdens, the last thing you need as a woman and mama is to have the burden of "looking pretty". In this episode, Amy talks about something she recently experienced, and how the judgements of other women can weigh heavy. We take a look at 1 Peter 3, and what God has to say about true beauty. We encourage one another to do what makes us happy, not what burdens us in this lifestyle of beauty. If "making" yourself beautiful is something you love doing, that's great! If you don't want to wear makeup, that's ok too! But at no time should it ever be a burden to you.

IN THIS EPISODE -- 

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves." [ 1 Peter 3:3-5 NIV ]

An instagram follower recently asked me how I find time to sit and enjoy life in the midst of the everyday chaos, so I decided to answer her in this week's podcast. The reality is that there are several different ways to find joy, but the ultimate key is choosing and creating joy. Listen to some stories I share in this week's episode, and maybe even carve some time to find your own joy today.

All scriptures taken from the NIV  version of the Bible.

"...and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." -- 2 Corinthians 10:5

"Rejoice always, pray continually,  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." -- Romans 12:12

"Though the fig tree does not bud

"Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, or because of these surpassingly great revelations.Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." -- 2 Corinthians 12:6-10

Do you ever wonder why you waste your time trying? Why do I try to mop when my kids are going to run through with dirty shoes again. Why do I waste my time trying to cook when no one appreciates it? Why do I even try to get my garden going when it's just going to rain and rain and rain? Or even the harder issues, like why do I even try in my marriage, with my kids, with that friend that is difficult? Whether it's the everyday mundane or the more serious, often times we find ourself asking this question. Today I'm going to go through two scriptures with you, and a whole lot of inspiration, that may help you navigate this difficult part of life.
