The Public Nature of Marital Privacies
Women who claim that their sexual relationships are private acts for private purposes, are deceiving God and America.

Am I going to have more babies?
We can’t choose children. ~
Having sex is not a choice. It just happens. God commanded, “be fruitful and multiply” and that’s what
happens naturally, in most cases.
We couldn’t afford children at all when we first came to decide to let God be sovereign in this area. I mean AT ALL. But we walked ahead, and said: "Heck, who cares if the little ones have to starve now and then."
You see, babies are people to me; important people. That's why I want to have so many of them. That's why I like to give them special, made-up names that doom them to a stripper pole and/or a career in adult
films.

Ways to Turn Mundane Into Meaning
1. Task: Planning/preparing meals
Action: Pray for God to help you get food on the table. And wait...
2. Task: Picking up hubby’s dirty clothes from the floor
Action: Pray. Thank God that your husband's underwear aren't smelly. Express gratitude that you get to wash your husband's sweaty clothes before they start stinking...

Dying to Be a Homemaker (my first attempt at being humble)
When I bring my children with me to the grocery story, I often get comments on how well-raised and godly they are. The other day a lady at the grocery store, told me: “You must be a supermom with the
patience of Job.” Note that I only had four of my nine children with me at that time...

The truth is that I'm tired of being called a supermom and superwoman all the time. Some days are hard on me. Sometimes I do grow weary. This super-woman-thing is a compelling force that robs me of rest. Unless you have it, you probably don’t know what a burden it is. I lose sleep.

I have to die daily, which is incredibly hard too. I have to crucify my flesh every day. It’s painful. But it’s what we’re called to do. It’s just that most of us won't do it, but I will.
Painful as it is, I'm thankful for all these opportunities to have my “self” die a little more each day. I’ve never felt so free and at peace as I do to the Lord who loves me more than I love myself (and I do love myself a LOT).
Are you angry, anxious, bitter, lonely, tired? Buy my book and find everything you ever wanted.

What We Must Do To Restore Our Country
I am grateful the Lord has given me a platform through which to speak what He lays on my heart.
We are living in a culture where, even those who claim Christ, have traded their true identity for trying to find it in the worship of idols. Idols of happiness, idols of people and helping the poor... The list goes on.
We must always seek the Lord more than anything else. Are we seeking to help the poor, more than we seek to find Him?
God tells us He will provide. That means we shouldn't worry about the poor and sick, because God will provide and He will help the righteous.
I don’t think socialism or welfare is God’s idea. I support a system that is BETTER, more charitable, more efficient and more beneficial to everyone. I support a system where the Lord is in charge - a system where He will provide.
For you have the poor always with you; but me you have not always. Matthew 26:11I don't know about you, but this verse gets to my heart. Too often we forget to prioritize Him before anyone or anything else. Since the poor will always be with us, while Jesus will not, we must not rush to help the poor. The poor aren't going anywhere (that's clear in the verse above).

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

We are all tools
Ladies,
this is the Word of God! We really can’t argue about the fact that children are
tools to achieve God's will. Being a “tool” is in fact included in the
list of things children should be taught to practice.
Doug
Phillips, a godly tool, shares some practical wisdom and advice about building
a tool culture in the home: “We must self-consciously build our tool culture. We are called to be tools and we should do so with God's strength and confidence! Please be encouraged, dear tools, that we don’t have to fear the enemy, for He is subject to God. And if you are a tool of God, nothing can touch you outside of his will. He has shown you, O tool, what is good."
In my next series of posts, I will offer you some invaluable tools on how to be a tool for Christ, and Him. I pray my words will continue to bless, strengthen, and fill up the hearts of tools everywhere. Just like Doug Phillips is a tool, I pray we will all be tools for Christ. "Be thou the tool of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate…”
