To be Christ-like....for young moms.

So this well not so morning anymore I am burdened. I have been struggling with quite a few of my duties as a wife and mother. The drive to get the things done I need to get done is just not there.


I desire to keep a clean home, prepare meals for my home, to raise my children in a calm environment, to have a scheduled time for things through-out the day, and above all to be consistent.


So this morning I am going to do a quick Bible study on laziness and woman's duties. I will share my findings with you later on in this blog post.

I Corinthians 14:40
Let all things be done decently and in order.
~I know I ought to have a schedule of my household duties and abide by them so my home functions the way it is suppose to. (in order not chaos)

I Timothy 5:14
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
~I love how it says guide the house. This means it is my responsibility to make sure the duties of the home are completed so the home is lead smoothly and without confusion. If I guide my home right ;with the Lord's help, it will be a place of peace and comfort.

Ecclesiastes 10:18
By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
~If I don't keep my home it will fall apart and  become destroyed if I do not tend to it. Idlenss is a very scary place to be comfortable in. If I am content being idle oh how I must watch out for the outcome.

Proverbs 13:4
The soul of the sluggard desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
~If I continue in my laziness I will have nothing but if I be about my business I will be blessed of the Lord. I want to truely be blessed of the Lord. I must be busy about my home. (Not neglecting the word of God and prayer)

I Thessalonians 4:11-12
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; Than ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
~Be about my own business. What the Lord has called me to do. See verse I Timothy 5:14 again. Work with my own hands that means do it by myself ;not hire out for or ask for help. Except to train your children so they can be good at knowing work when they are older.

Titus 2:4-5
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
~These are my duties as a young wife and mother. I need to do these things so the Lord can be glorified!

I pray this has blessed you and challenged you if you are a young wife/mother. I know it made things clearer to me about my duties. If you are a young mother reach out to a mentor mom. Someone the Lord has put into your life to be an example. Ask for wisdom and guidance on your marriage and child rearing. They will be a blessing to you.

I spoke with my mentor mom today, a dear friend of mine, she challenged me to give my children a chore chart. This is my duty as a mother to raise my children to work. I am not saying be a slave driver but give them age appropriate task to accomplish through-out the day. They will feel accomplished and take some burden off of the load. God Bless You and have a peaceful day!
