How Busy is Too Busy? -Life is busy and often there is no end in sight. Join Heidi and Durenda as they help sort out how busy really is just too busy.

Busy Seasons and Weary Souls – God doesn’t clearly tell us in his Word what is too much or too little when it comes to busyness. That’s something we each have to walk out with him. What He does tell us though, is that He wants us to be about HIS business…His agenda. In other words, to be led by the Holy Spirit. Being too busy is only okay if it’s what He wants us to do.

Balance for Busy Moms – So what does this have to do with balance? First, we need to work to please God, not others. Second, and it may not seem obvious at first, but if you read from verse 17 back down to that parallel verse, verse 23, you will see something that stood out to me: I noticed that all of the verses in between 17 and 23 talk about the importance of relationships. Those verses are all about healthy family relationships: wives and husbands are supposed to be in loving relationships with each other; we read that fathers are not to exasperate their children. God’s Word is telling us that good works situations and healthy family situations go hand in hand. This takes prioritizing and balancing. Sometimes, good things rob us of the best things.

Biblical Womanhood – Part 3/3 #445

Have you noticed that womanhood, even the heart of femininity is under attack in the culture today?
This week, Heidi is talking honestly about God’s heart for women—and how being created “out” of man brings with it a special calling and a special kind of strength. God created woman to be a helper. “Helper” is a word that demands explanation today…  and so we’re going to talk about it! “Helper” is not a term that indicates a lesser status, or the type of help that assists in an unimportant way. Listen in and be encouraged, busy moms! You are loved, and your role is of unimaginable importance in the eyes of God.
