I’ve got no less than 505,346,145.5 -ish ideas for content I could post in this little niche of mental/emotional battlegrounds of the Christian homemaking momma. Can you help me decide what you’d like to see most? I’m physically allergic to wasting your time, and we all need to be on our screens less. So where should we begin? ⬇️

I was stuck in the cycle again. Sprinting for my LIFE on the hamster wheel. I’d had a great streak of “feeling good” emotionally. And for whatever reason, I found myself overwhelmed on a regular ol day of homemaking. I started white knuckling my self control. “I don’t WANT to feel this. I rebuke this” But by that time, I was already sliding down the slippery slope. I found myself combing YouTube again, looking for something, ANYTHING I could grab onto to stop the waves of anxiety that were racking my body and clouding my mind. “Not todaaaaaay” I thought as anxiety roiled over into anger and aggravation at myself. “What is WRONG with you?” “There is literally nothing going on right now you shouldn’t be able to handle” And the thoughts kept biting, like a swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes. I’d smack one, and more would take its place. At this point, I’m completely and utterly out of sorts. I’m literally drowning in fear, anxiety and anger. And on top of that, it’s glaring in my face how far I am outside out of my usual daily rhythm of caring for my home, my babies, my charges given to me by God.❤️ “Once I get something tangible to hold onto, just a little reassurance, I can move on with my day” I thought to myself *check mate* for the enemy of my soul 🙁 I finally found what I was looking for, one of my favorite YouTube therapy creators. Her voice is so soothing, and her tips are usually so actionable. She said something in the video that stopped me in my tracks. Like my Father put a mega phone up to her mouth that was pointed right at my soul. “Uncomfortable emotions can’t harm you, but the need to ESCAPE them, to DEAL WITH THEM can.” And THAT is where my true healing story began. ❤️ Does this resonate with anyone? Have you found yourself in a similar cycle? I’ll share more stories like this, I just wanted to see if any of you have found yourselves here too -Christina

What are you all up to? Doing anything fun? ☀️ After we finish our morning farm chores, we are headed to a big ol’ dinner at my parents. My dad is Cajun and he’s an AMAZING cook. I love Easter. I actually love it like, a million times more than Christmas. 🤭 I love the joyful, almost electric anticipation that Spring brings. 🌱All the green unfurling on the branches, and in the grass. 🌸All the blossoms on the trees who are silently yet visibly promising juicy, delicious yummyness in the harvest to come. ☀️ The sweet WARMTH of the sun that feels sooo nice after the deep chill for months of winter. It’s allllllll a-buzz with excitement and joyful hope. For me, it brings realization that even though things are beautiful NOW, your mind and heart are saying “oh man, just wait till summer ☀️” And THAT is what it’s all about in this relationship with our King. ❤️ Because of what He sowed that day on the cross, His kindness, healing and tender mercies are available to us now. We get to walk in abundance. We get to walk in healing and power. It’s available NOW. And even though it’s beautiful, even though we feel the healing and we see the little “blossoms” of change and renewal, We also know it’s producing something INCREDIBLE in us. A harvest we can’t even begin to imagine yet. “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion…” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬ He’s not finished with you yet. Your story is still in bloom ☀️ Happy Easter friends! God bless you and your loved ones! -Christina
