Are we afraid of one another as Christian women? Do we see one another as competitors or as co-laborers? We can delight not only in a variety of creative endeavors within the home, but also in the multiplicity of gifts God has granted within His body, the church.

Lexy shares how her church has developed community and skill-sharing among the women, implementing Titus 2 in a real-life, down-to-earth, organic manner. It’s not a program. It’s being intentional about doing life together and learning from one another. 

When social media shapes our pictures of homemaking, we have to ground ourselves in the vital real life of local community. 

Dabbling in various homemaking skills – with no pressure to continue them for the rest of our lives or achieve total mastery – allows us to discover delight and satisfaction as we experience maturity and personal growth. 

We have to be willing to step out of our comfort zones, push through any awkwardness, seek mentorship, and find inspiration within our local church community. Together, we can nurture a culture of thriving and creativity in homemaking, leaving a lasting impact in our homes and families. 

Be patient. Love. Pray. Persevere.

I know I've had weight loss on my list of annual goals for years on end and many years I've just given up on it and felt like it took too much energy for too little payoff. It's so easy to get discouraged with weight loss goals. Are they even worth making? Should we even care or should we just roll with where we are because so much else in on our plate? Why should weight loss be on our radar when our radars are feeling pretty weak as it is?  

If weight loss is worth our time and attention, what are your recommendations for busy moms with many children, especially when we want to be emphasizing family meals and not teaching our kids to be weird about eating or their food?
