If you’re trying to grow a garden while raising ba

If you’re trying to grow a garden while raising babies, chasing toddlers, homeschooling, cooking meals, and keeping a home—you don’t need perfection. You need rhythms that work with your season of life.

Here are a few simple things that make gardening with little ones so much easier:

• Work the garden in the early morning or evening when the heat and sun are lower. It’s easier on your body, your plants, and your children.

• Harvest herbs and vegetables in the morning when they are most hydrated and nutrient dense. The flavor, oils, and freshness are often at their peak before the heat of the day sets in.

• Keep a kiddie pool, shaded tent, or simple play area near the garden so little ones can stay close, play safely, and still be part of what you’re building.

This is the beauty of homestead life. Children don’t always have to be separated from the work—they can grow alongside it.

The garden doesn’t just feed your family.
It disciples them too.

Three weeks ago during our Friday night fellowship

Three weeks ago during our Friday night fellowship, a consistent topic or word would come forth out of the individuals sitting around the table. As I sat and listened to each one so deeply, yet differently sharing, I realized that on this night, we were all mostly saying the same thing. This is often how Jesus will work through a group of believers—bringing each one together to share in unity. But differently.

I immediately recalled Psalm 126–especially the part about weeping. How we sow with our tears but we reap in joy. How those who continually go forth weeping bear seed for sowing.

Our genuine cries do something—they produce, and they sow. It is where we can feel the burden of another. When one cries, it is contagious. But really it is the mercy of God that we feel upon us.

There is not a fellowship night that goes by anymore without someone, or multiple people now, crying. We’ve learned to embrace it. Why? Because we reap a harvest and bring our sheaves with us as we rejoice.

Each tear is a seed that sows deeply into one another. Into others. Into ourselves. Our tears have a genuineness that many things do not have. And when they are genuine, they produce great fruit.

Ever since that night, I continue to see this scripture being spoken over and over again from leader after leader. Post after post.

The Lord is stirring. He is doing something in His bride. He is calling back the captives, the dreamers, the singers. “Once again,” He says. With tears and weeping we sow, and with tears and weeping we harvest—rejoicing joyfully.

If you follow people online, you often call them a

If you follow people online, you often call them an “influencer”. Let me be the one to tell you that most of us in the sphere that I am in do not consider ourselves “influencers”. Some may consider themselves teachers, leaders, ministers, and more, but the term influencer has never been something we’ve enjoyed.

The reality is this—we found ourselves in the middle of a crossroad on our timeline where someone needed to pick up a mic and speak truth in the midst of chaos. Most of us have no interest in being online at all. We wouldn’t be sad if the internet disappeared tomorrow. But we were handed that microphone, influence, and anointing to go along with it.

Don’t be fooled—it’s not because of algorithms and marketing plans. If you are succeeding in this online world or your physical sphere of influence for Jesus, it’s because you were given the open door to do so. It’s not about you. It’s about what God knows He can entrust to you for His will and kingdom.

Some people chase after people, trends, validation, recognition, and the spotlight. But can I tell you what comes along with those things? Hatred, bullying, misunderstanding, monitoring people and spirits, people lying about you, persecution—and if you’ve really made it, threats on your life and persecution.

You see, people want the influence. People want to be close to a Kingdom influencer. But if you aren’t ready to roll with the good AND bad, then you’re not ready.

Jesus was the OG influencer, and He was spit on, lied about, and killed for His influence. Follower of Jesus—you are told to prepare for the same thing in the world. No matter your influence level.

A time is coming in America where influence online won’t matter anymore, yet the outcome will remain the same. The time to prepare for that is now—spiritually and emotionally.

But take heart, dear one. He has overcome the world. I speak to believers and leaders everyday who are truly influencing to make a difference—some online, some never touching a screen.

Jesus is building His church stone by stone. Some of us have mics, some of us will never be broadly known to man. Yet the struggle is still the same. Pray for us.

This morning I made a Mother’s Day tea—this one is

This morning I made a Mother’s Day tea—this one is for you, ladies!

My hormones have been all over the place as I inch closer to 40 and begin to slowly wean our little one. I’ve been snappy and know I need more nourishment. My skin has been out of sorts and, moral of the story, my body needs help. This tea is great for anyone—but it is especially healing for women.

The jar made in the reel is a concentrate (I used lots of herbs), meaning, I add about 1 cup or more (whatever you’d like) of this liquid concentrate to my pint/quart jar and fill the rest with ice and cold water. But the “amounts” would stay the same in “parts”.

If I were to add one more thing to this tea, it would be lemon balm. It is also very calming and aromatic. But since lemon balm is growing fresh right now, I add a sprig of it to each glass made with this herbal concentrate when I pour.

This blend is fabulously cooling, nourishing to the body, and especially beneficial to women of all ages.

You can add raw honey to sweeten this tea, and it is divine.

🌺 Hibiscus flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
An incredible antioxidant which helps support the immune system, reduces oxidative stress, and supports your health at the cellular level. It may also help with cholesterol and cardiovascular health. This is a wonderful cooling herb for summer time, peri- and regular menopause. (Use sparingly while pregnant).

🌼Chamomile
Most noted for its ability to calm, relax, and cool. It is an efficient gentle anti-inflammatory and works well for the gastrointestinal tract. It is a gentle nervine, making it ideal for the central nervous system.

🌿 Stinging Nettle
An extremely nourishing herb, it is rich in iron, magnesium, calcium, proteins, and so many minerals. Nettle is anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic. Nettle will help build strength in your body, and nourish it to its core—every system in the body is nourished by it. It is a natural antihistamine, mast cell stabilizer, and tonic.

🍃Red Raspberry Leaf
Rich in minerals and manganese. It works effectively in supporting and toning the reproductive system. It is also great for use as an antacid, hormones, heart and eye h

Never give up.
