Ordering Your Priorities as a Christian Woman I Christian Homemaking

[@lifeaccordingtocynthia5657]

I find that most of the time I find fault with my husband it is over silly small factors and is due to a bad and ungrateful attitude. If I just look around my home, I quickly realized I would not have any of these things if it were not due to his dedicated hard work each and every day. He is so faithful to provide! I then realize how much this part of his heart God appreciates and honors, and so should I. Then in the end, I feel corrected for a grumbling and silly fault finding attitude. These days in the midst of raging woman's rights, a lot of women feel their husbands "owe" them more than just hard dedicated work. I think it is very sad and harmful to the family unit.

I was raised by a single Mom (with four kids from 3 dads) who was definitely more feminist than not. I'm doing all I can to NOT be who she was. Soon after my wedding, she started hating my husband and pushing him away from me. I had to push her out of my life. She would have destroyed my marriage. When I feel like my marriage is getting rocky at all, I stop and look at what I can do to improve our situation.

You are so right!!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts

[@sahmof7]

Thank you for your videos. Love listening to the scripture too. A fresh appreciation for my husband this father's day. Found out on April 17th (our 20th anniversary) that he has cancer. After a month in the hospital he is home with us again. Thought we were losing him. A reminder that every day is a blessing and our lives are so fragile. Women please don't take a single moment with your husband for granted 🙏

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

Praying for you both. I'm so glad he is home again 💓 I'm so sorry your family has to go through this.

[@pattyhansen7563]

I find that the more I put my husband first (not above God, but above kids & home) the more the other things fall into line. If he feels listened to & respected he will back me up on child matters instead of trying to impose ONLY his will on them. If he feels paid attention to, he doesn't care about messes laying around (he sometimes is the reason for the messes LOL) and he might even say something like, "oh who cares about the dishes, lets go out for ice cream." There have been times when he is the one that has helped put my priorities in order - a long time ago I used to do in home elder care. This was so I could stay home & help earn a little 'fun' money for us. I could bring my toddler with me & I could arrange my hours while my older daughter was in school. One time I was contemplating missing a school event because I had a cleaning date scheduled. My husband quickly corrected me & told me I "would reschedule that cleaning & I WOULD be at our daughter's event. the cleaning job was not to interfere with our kids - the whole reason I got to stay home was so THEY came first." That really corrected my attitude! I realized that chasing a little bit of money was actually causing me to leap frog right over my husband, kids, & home. Now I have learned to say "no" to many things and to not feel guilty. I can quickly get overwhelmed & I suffer from some chronic illness & a serious injury that has a way of rearing it's head when I get stressed. I just told my husband this week, "no more running, or helping any friends for the rest of the weekend. I need to attend to my own affairs for a while." I have had many friends calling on me for help or attention & I have been falling behind in my own duties. It IS nice to help your friends, but I committed myself to getting my own stuff done & today I knocked it out of the park!!!! And it felt so so so so good to just be home!

[@christelgory8467]

This is the first time I have seen one of your videos and what a breath of fresh air!! To be so young and so wise is so inspirational to see! Such a beautiful spirit and life! God's fingerprints are all over this video! Keep sharing His Word in an applicable way, the world needs more of this!❤

[@Allthingsglamxo]

I love working on my home, while listening to your videos. I find comfort in what you share because living in a world and in my community (so cal) that does not see the value in being a SAHM, being a wife that submits to her husband, being a family who isn’t ashamed of letting others know that Sundays are dedicated to church and family…it can be isolating. However, your videos give me the encouragement I so need. Thank you and God bless you and your family.

[@lawaincooley6788]

New sub here! Your message was jam packed with gems of scripture and wisdom. Thank you!! I have four children, 8 and under. I struggle with my 3yr old son. I will keep praying and lifting him up. I hope he starts to see the Lord's blessings.

[@PrettySunShines]

The home has been a source of frustration, overwhelm, defeat and acceptance. I can't seem to get it together, always messy, always chaotic, always cluttered and not super clean...Please God remove the blockage I have with my home and give me the strength and will to care for it as you would like me to. Amen.

[@mollydeckman]

That's exactly what I have been trying to do for so many years now --BALANCE-- But I've found that I will have good and bad days, and that is OK. 😌 I've really taken a step back this year and try to make getting enough sleep and taking care of my family and home before doing the things I want to do. And I have felt a lot of peace from it. 🕊

[@mollydeckman]

Your cherry pies and chicken pot pie looked amazing! 😍

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

You do such an amazing job. I love watching you care for your home. ❤️ I've been doing a poor job on going getting enough sleep, and I'm finding it's really affecting me.

[@jannier9766]

This was so very good! Thank you. I love ❤ your channelI have recently been praying about where God wants to use me in our church. Our Lutheran Church runs a parochial school that covers pre-school through 8th grade. Last Sunday the principal approached me and asked if I would be a volunteer as a school librarian. Answered prayer.

[@trekkie-cat]

I'm a childless Christian woman but I'm still just as valuable to God.

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

Amen!

[@archivesbyautumn]

Same here, my spouse (also Christian) has no sperm. We’ve been trying for 8 years praying for a miracle, it’s so hard to be in a faith where if children are not in a household you’re looked down upon. Trying to stay in the faith!

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

Your list of priorities was not what I expected. . . it was SO MUCH BETTER!!!

[@socorah2]

I love your heart for God, family, home and encouraging others. This has blessed me today!

[@our_diyhome6]

This is such a blessing. Such a good reminder to slow down and rest in the Lord! Seek first the kingdom of the Lord and his righteousness and all these things will be added on to you ❤️❤️ Christ is King!

[@life_rural]

Be successful, healthy and happy my dear friend 👌👌👌👏👏👏

[@Dana-mb1hd]

This was SO good! I needed to hear much of this- I have not been the best wife lately and am guilty of not submitting to my husband. I have a control issue. I need to work on myself thank you for this ❤

[@DianaDalmacio23]

Thank you for the wise reminders. 🙏🏼❤️

[@Gabrielle499]

Love all of this! Thank you Kelsey. 🙏 ✨🥧 😋

[@micheleandrews4779]

Thank you for gently teaching the word of God. I’m thankful that His mercies are new every morning! So when we have an off day or don’t live up to the standard, we can come to Him and tell him all about it. He picks us up and brushes us off and gives us the strength and hope to try again. He alone is our strength!❤️❤️

[@felipedetrento]

thanks from Brazil!

[@ann-uc2zx]

Thankyou Kelsey. I love listening to you. You are such a blessing.

[@MeganOsbourn-fg4xs]

So glad and blessed to see you back

[@ChristinaMiick-wf6hn]

Amen! Thank you! Your pies look amazing too im inspired!

[@photoprojector]

Beautiful.

[@evelynbrown2120]

You are truly a blessing.

[@ChelseaHenry-x8x]

Thank you so much for this. Admittedly, I feel lost on how to do this. I am the primary income and I put my God first with prayer AM and PM, then kids first, my job third, my home fourth, and my husband last…. Ugh… I have nothing left to give at the end of the day and neither does he and we tune out and connect quick before bed and then stay up too late awake bc we haven’t had time alone to decompress all day. How do people do this? We have a 2 and almost 4 year old and it’s constant and so depleting. I know I’m doing things out of order but unsure how resets thoughtful and loyal in prayer and terrible at making slow intentional time to listen to God…. I appreciate this video a lot and those lies looks SO nice!

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

This is very common. It takes time, and some seasons of life are easier to balance it all than others. Just working to make and keep God your first priority, the rest will align better. You got this! Know you are not alone in struggles, feelings, and encouragement.

[@TheMennomilist]

Amen. Beautiful.

[@karenkaren9526]

I need to follow you young women. I am exhausted after 35 years ministry 42 years marriage. 💙💜🙏

[@MsLakeri]

Amazing video and words of wisdom Westman. Thank you. Enjoyed it. Much blessings from Uganda.

[@mytwosents]

Loved this. Thank you ☺️

[@daughterofmyabba]

Thank you for sharing this! Ive never heard of the book of Sirach, Im looking that up right now ❤

[@JustMe-ds8fk]

Jewish~ Biblical Hebrew

[@jannier9766]

It is a book in the Catholic Bible.

[@pattyhansen7563]

@@jannier9766 one of my 'favorites' .... so much wisdom incased in it! The verse I am reflecting on to find balance is "Winnow not in every wind, nor start off in every direction. Be consistent in thy thoughts & steadfast in thy words." (Sirach) I tend to start too many things at once & find myself frazzled! I have to remind myself to do one thing at a time

[@amybeasley7388]

Thank you for the inspiration! My A/C is out and I’m sick with a UTI. I just want to lay in front of the fan. I need to try to get up and do some things.

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

Praying for you 🙏 you got this!

Heavenly Father, please bless Amy with healing and healing of her air conditioning. In Jesus name. Amen.

Out of curiosity, what did you spray on your fruit when washing it?

[@global1007]

I think.. water?

[@savanabusby6558]

Can you list the verses you quoted? There was one book i wasn't familiar with or i mis heard. Thank you!

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

[@kariny9457]

What are you quoting from around 9:52? Sirak? Can you explain this source, because it is not from the traditionally held Bible. I looked up your quick introduction to your channel, and I don’t see an indication of another faith. Could you explain?

[@kariny9457]

Actually 9:13

[@debbiehoward8931]

Where is the 7 priorities list that she mentions?

What are you using to wash the cherries? Thank you.

[@OliviaMGibbs1024]

What is sirak?

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

Sirach, also known as Ecclesiasticus, is one of the 7 books (referred to as the "Apocraypha") during the Protestant Reformation. If you look at Church history, even the Protestant Bibles written before the reformation all included the "Apocraypha" which we (Catholics) believe is inspired Scripture or "The Deuterocanonical Books".

[@kimberlyholt2241]

Ironic that you said, "KZbin" 🙏💜

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

Can be a blessing and distraction for us all 💗

[@candyhr4152]

What about self? What number are we?

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

True. This is very hard to answer. We obviously have to care for ourselves mentally and physically, but we are also called to serve others first. It is reasonable to need time to yourself or help or a break, but definitely a difference between being self-serving and reasonable self care.

[@REDSEAROSE-bw4wk]

Kelsey, abide in Him means obeying Him. He said to Peter, if you love me then FEED MY SHEEP. If you don't do this, He won't even hear your prayers. He doesn't aak you to go away and read the Bible for awhile, He wants you to do what He SAYS in the Bible. Read James 2 from the brother of Jesus. Live out your faith by obeying. James said, I'll show you my FAITH by my works. Di good works, feed the poor Kelsey. You're missing it... get on the righteous path

[@faithfulacresfarmhouse]

I do agree that abide can mean, "to obey." The Greek word I am referring to is "menó" or μένω, which means to stay, remain, or dwell. For example in John 15:4, Jesus says, "Abide in me, and I will abide in you." He is saying remain in me and I will remain in you, not obey me and I will obey you. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@juliesatterfield7004]

Obedience can come out of abiding, but abiding is remaining in Him as in His presence dwelling/being.....
