Grace-filled motherhood

Living Intently Through Grace-Filled Motherhood

August 30, 2018 · In: devotional, family, Featured, homemaking, motherhood, womanhood

Grace-filled motherhood—it’s something I’ve struggled with over the last few years. I’m quick to give others grace, and to tell others to give themselves grace. But myself? Yeah, no. That’s…

We all like to give him a hard time around the fel We all like to give him a hard time around the fellowship table because he’s so quiet now days (until he’s not 😂). But many haven’t seen (or don’t remember) the man that has literally sat on a stage with me, poured out his heart, and cried in front of a bunch of women and their husbands at an event one year. 

Or the guy who used to teach Sunday school at an old Assembly of God church even though he had no idea what he was doing 

Or the guy who helps me with every single decision I make in business and ministry. 

Or the guy who somehow has this gift to preach a simple gospel to the rough neck crowd without actually preaching the church “way”.

I was searching through my phone tonight for a photo of me to schedule for an IG post, and I typed in “leadership photos”. I type this in ALL the time and photos of myself or our speakers pop up. But tonight, this photo popped up as the first and only photo. 

In a world and “church” system where we feel like everyone is supposed to have something to say every single day….there are a few who only open their mouths when they feel like God is telling them to open their mouths. And I assure you, when they do, you will sit there so profoundly taken back (in a good way) that you know it must be the Lord. 

So many people are scared or taken back by manly men. Or silent men. Or men who know they aren’t perfect and know they are on a journey just like Simon and John. They won’t sugar coat. They won’t blow smoke. They just want real, commitment, covenant, and strength—not cowardice. 

But I believe we are about to see just how necessary men like this are. We will need them in the body of Christ in the days ahead. And I’m happy I married one of them 🤍
Our first batch of 2026 birds are the @mcmurray_ha Our first batch of 2026 birds are the @mcmurray_hatchery big red broilers and they DID NOT disappoint. This was probably one of the most consistent in weight batches we’ve grown. Most birds were consistently between 5 and 6.9 lbs. With the drought, we butchered them at 14 weeks instead of 12 weeks. They would’ve come in consistently between the 3-5 lb mark at 12 weeks though, which is a normal sized broiler for many. 

On to the next batch!
I almost cut the audio on this one. But I left it I almost cut the audio on this one.

But I left it. Because somewhere in the middle of making pretty reels and instagram-worthy things, in the middle of daily tasks and work and homemaking, in the middle of you scrolling, trying to escape into someone else’s “real”, there is a holy thing happening right where you stand.

This is where wisdom gets passed down. Where memories are made. Where ordinary children become kingdom ambassadors.

The “in between” moments—the ones that feel like interruptions—are the most teachable moments you will ever be given.

When little voices ask the same question for the hundredth time... when little hands climb into the middle of your project and you feel inconvenienced... those are not the moments to rush past. Those are the moments they will remember forever.

So I’ll ask you what I keep asking myself: How did you make them feel today? How did you explain real life to them? Will the way you answered firm up their foundation, or shake it?

“Impress [these words] on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” [Deuteronomy 6:7]

Did you catch that? At home. On the road. Lying down. Getting up. The in between. That is the classroom.

Parenting is not the thing you do once the rest of life is finally organized and perfect. It is the thing you do first. It is the most important work happening in your home.

So slow down. Take a deep breath. One day these little voices will be gone, and you will remember the moments you let pass you by.

Don’t let them pass, friend. Turn around. They’re right there.

If this landed on your heart, save it and tag a mama who needs the reminder today. 🤍
Let’s talk about the new EO that was signed this w Let’s talk about the new EO that was signed this week in regard to regenerative farming. @a.j_richards will also be joining me on the @homesteadersofamerica podcast to talk more about what’s happening in government right now with our food system and farming, so make sure you’re subscribed!

On June 25th, an Executive Order on regenerative agriculture was signed. Healthier soil. Fewer chemicals. A return to how God designed us to steward the land. But discernment is part of stewardship too—so let’s read past the headline.

→ What it does:

Expands a USDA program helping farmers adopt regenerative practices—cover crops, reduced tillage, managed grazing. Voluntary, run through your local NRCS office, open to farms of every size.

Directs the EPA to examine chemical inputs and residues in our food. Especially pre-harvest desiccates.

Funds research into how those chemicals build up in our bodies over time.

→ What the headlines skip:

That “$700 million” isn’t new money. It was announced in December 2025 by redirecting existing conservation dollars. This order expands a program already underway.

For scale: Washington spends $15–16 BILLION a year just on crop insurance. This pilot is about 1% of USDA’s conservation budget. The headlines suggest a revolution. The budget suggests an experiment.

A new 15-member advisory council will guide it—9 seats belong to farmers, but the names aren’t released. The private “partners” aren’t named either. Who fills those seats and controls the new certification systems will matter enormously.

None of this means we dismiss it. There’s real funding and real potential here. One of my questions has always been to be wary of government hand outs. But I also understand that big farms that are already heavily in it need it.

Stay informed. Ask hard questions. Let’s see how this unfolds.

This photo is a testament to the labor of time and This photo is a testament to the labor of time and work we put into this cow. All of us. When we first brought her home in the early winter of 2025, while I was very pregnant, I began to reconsider my decision on bringing her home. 

I knew the first few weeks would bring a transition period, but that period lasted months. She kicked—a lot. Her previous owner said she didn’t kick before. She would run through paddocks and not let us catch her. They said that never happened before either. 

What we soon realized was this mama cow, set in her ways for at least 7 years, wasn’t just protesting us. She was protesting the fact that we took her away from everything she ever knew for 7 years. 

We took her away from her mother and grandmother, both still alive and thriving when we bought her. Right in the same field with her (one was 20, the other was 16). We took her away from the hundreds of acres she got to roam on everyday, to now only having almost 6. She was protesting us because the woman who raised her from day one was no longer her milkmaid. And she protested….hard.

While she is still spicy and knows her size, she has decided to stop protesting. And has for at least the last 9 months or so.

You wouldn’t even recognize her. That crazy cow we brought home? She doesn’t exist anymore. 

Does she lead with a rope? Not greatly, but she doesn’t protest it anymore. 

Does she give us snuggles? Not greatly, but she’s obsessed with that guy holding the baby. 

She’s the healthiest cow we have on the farm.

Moral of the story—when being a steward of creation, it can be hard. Some are worth sticking it out for. Others you turn into beef sticks. But sometimes, they just need time to adjust. Because believe it or not, they feel deeply too. 

God created an intelligent design in the bovine. It’s why He has them on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). 🤍
