What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause by Lee MD, John R., Hopkins, Virginia
ABOUT THIS CHANNEL | I am a wife to an exceptional man, a mother to beloved daughters, a diligent homemaker, and a businesswoman. But before all these roles I am a woman who belongs to The Lord. A daughter to the God of The Bible through the work of my savior Jesus Christ. On this channel, you will enjoy content designed to cultivate a rich experience of biblical womanhood. You will be encouraged to place your true hope and faith in the Lord. You will also hear hard discussions about accountability and personal responsibility for your life and what it produces. We embrace real character and integrity as much as we do physical beauty and femininity. We are called to be women of our Father's Kingdom and to honor Him with our speech, actions, and our modest yet feminine dress. I would love to have you along for the ride as we embrace a manner of life that brings honor to the name of our Father and get to the work of accomplishing our mission.

Not that I decked out my laundry room to make it super fancy but my husband hung an art piece that states “The most important work you will ever do, will be within the walls of your home.” And a nice chandelier. He understands I spend a LOT of time in the laundry room and while I tend to keep things practical, he wanted it to be pretty for me. It’s just for me, not many other people ever see my laundry room but it does perk me up to see a nice space for me to get the mundane done and that he did this for me because he appreciates what I do 🥰
That is so sweet ❤
That is really Special and God inspired idea. Praise the Lord gor him.
That was so sweet of your husband, mine didn’t do it for me but did let me invest time and some money in redoing the laundry, it does help a lot with my attitude towards my home making chores, I really enjoy interior design and I’ve noticed that when I have a well designed and pretty space it’s much easier to keep it tidy 😁
That’s lovely ❤️
I have that same picture in my laundry room 🥰
While I'm taking care of my home I like to remember and meditate on what a blessing it is to have it and all of its amenities. I think that cleaning, maintaining, and respecting it is a way to show God that I am thankful for what He has given me. Instead of viewing it as a chore, it keeps me in a mindset of gratitude and peace.
Amen! 💖
That's a beautiful way to look at it!
Amen !
❤️
Yes, I completely agree!
Our home is our sanctuary, I stayed home as hubby was working and I have disabilities, and he was so appreciative of my housekeeping. He has cancer now so is home with me. Prayers would be appreciated 🙏
Praying FATHER bless you and hubby each day relying on HIS graces and mercies and divine will.
Praying for you and your family 🙏🏾🤍
🙏
We are not worth anything,Father,by your love and mercy,please consider us.please consider julie's husband..we are not worth it,we can never earn it by our doings,its just by love ,mercy and grace
Everything that Is light and salvation is going your way, Julie!!❤
I wish I had had this validation when I was raising my children. The pushback of family and society is definitely something that homemakers have been dealing with since the eighties. Any time I left the home and tried to have a career, I was miserable and my family suffered. My prayers are for all of you young mothers. Also, now I need watermelon!
Wow this is so true I don't care what society say the word of God is true and I will serve my family.❤❤❤
As a working woman, this is very interesting. Since I can't avoid work right now, this tells me I need to put more effort into exercising, taking regular screen/desk breaks, and keeping a positive attitude about having to work to support my husband. Brilliant message as always, Joyce!
Interesting... Thank you so much.
Paying the bills is also a way to serve your family.
Read Proverbs 31:7 to the end. She worked outside the home and this work brought honour to her family. She bought and sold fields, hired workers, she did her own crafts as well. She earnt an income to support her family, and it was called honourable. Don't let them tell you working outside the home isnt biblical, because it is.❤
@@minecraftingmum5574 True. Working outside the home is indeed biblical... as long as the home and it's contents are prioritized over everything.
@@doll.ov.poetrii4682 here's another point. The Bible was written by men. Therefore it reflects their values, wants, needs and desires, not that of women. As a written text it is at least 6,000 years old. It is also at least 400 years old in its present king James form and 1700 if we go back to the council's that decided what books to include and what to leave out, so it's also out of date as far as society is concerned. After all, slavery is no longer considered to be 'normal', yet people still consider it to be of value when discussing the rights of women. Times have changed.
I’ve been a homemaker for almost twenty four years, and I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s truly a blessing from the Lord.
“A blessing from the Lord” 🙏🏼🌼💜
This is such a beautiful, well formed message. As an artistic person, I have found immense fulfillment and peace being a homemaker. I was raised by a single mom who always worked and looked down upon motherhood and marriage. So I worked really hard to get into a prestigious university and felt so guilty for how much I hated it. I graduated and was absolutely lost and tired looking for a career. Then God sent me my husband and now I get to stay home with my beautiful baby. I use all of my skills and find a million ways to be creative every day. My days are purposeful, restful, and full of joy. All of my dreams come true every day when my husband comes home and wraps us up in a big hug. I am so so so happy that modern women are finding this path and glorifying Creation by tending their homes with love! Thank you, Bindi!
My sisters didn't understand my decision of quiting work after working 11 years. I've been a homemaker now for 4 years, it has been the most fulfilling job for me.
My mother was also a homemaker, I was telling them that my mom looked much younger & healthier than her peers who worked.
That's beautiful, I have been a homemaker for almost 4 years too. Started straight after university (which shocked everyone). It is indeed wonderful, very fulfilling ❤
An interesting thing. I too have noticed how women age in the workforce vs at home. Each gender has giftings.
@@ElinoMilanesi A good education never goes to waste. There are many women who homeschool their children from K-12, and having a college education is very helpful.
@@margokerby1533 شكرا جزيلا لك ❤ (thank you so much) !
I will definitely homeschool my kids إن شاء الله, the school system is very scary here in Canada lol, veeery far from the teachings of Muhammad, Moses and Jesus (we muslims believe in Jesus too).
Thank you very much for your words, it is very encouraging. May Allah (means "God" in arabic) bless you my dear 💖❤
Im my personal experience, which is not universal, working outside of the home is a breeze. Being a homeschooling homemaker.... the most difficult thing I have ever done!
Im starting to be more intentional when I do housework now. I’ve been a stay at home mom for some years now but this is just the video I needed. I always felt guilty asking my husband for pretty plates, organizing bins or decor for the home because my husband would think it’s unnecessary. but God has been doing a work in both me and my husband. He has noticed that the him and the kids are more inclined to spend time in the decorated areas of the home and are more likely to keep it clean and pretty since I’ve made it a more enjoyable space. He now just says “go ahead” when I ask for his card 😂
Hahah ! What a great way to look at things and in the spirit of your marriage and cooperating with each other. Even a simplistic design or decor helps define areas and the children definitely benefit from this technique. A place for everything…. Beauty begets beauty !
I’m so happy to hear a young woman sharing these ideas that I only heard from my Mom-in-law, who was born in 1916..lived to 97. She was diligent in serving her family as she did in her earlier career which was also amazing. Married at the age of 35, only child at 38 who is my husband. A tiny little 4’10” power house . She had a phrase “ She minds her own business” , describing a woman with an immaculate home & yard. It shows when we mind our own business. I wish I could live up with this ideal but I have always struggled with on & off motivation. Her phrase is a good reminder for us today that instead of stressing ourselves about everything else going on in the world or worrying over other peoples problems or mistakes, we need to keep focused on what “ I need to do next”. Love your video and the beautiful positive image you portray for young women today.
I wish so badly that I could live that homemaker life. I’m single and stuck at a desk job. Im 24, so I know I have time, but it’s hard to wait for this chapter of life when I don’t even know if that’s what God has in store for me.
Faith, the assurance that whatever plan God has for you is the best. But I have to say God is a good God, He’s a good Father, if you desire to be at home married and you asked for that according to His will then He will give it to you.
Your task is to be have faith, faith is confident assurance that His promises are Yes and Amen. You were not given to know the time when it will happen but you are commanded to have patience, a peaceful and confident patience without complaining and murmuring.
While you wait, prepare yourself as a sign of being expectant (I believe that you watching this video is part of that 😊), let faith perfect you (faith changes us before our surroundings change).
God bless you, I hope you receive this well ❤
Be patient, the Lord will come through in his timing. I always wanted to be a homemaker but vould not afford it when I was single and also when I got married. Now I am 51 and at 50 the Lord made it possible that I could become a homemaker and that my husband was able to support the 2 of us ( no children). Trust Jesus.
There's a Jewish saying that says "In the way a person wishes to go, G-d will assist him." If this is what you want, keep praying and G-d willing he will answer you in a way that is best for you. I wish you only blessings and success in all that you do. The best is yet to come!
I’m 53 and have been where you are. I took a leap of faith when I had three young children and went from full to part time. I’d prayed about it for years and when I knew… I knew. God spoke. We made it fine and I cherish that time. I went back to full time when they were older (cars and prom dresses!). Pray and trust and make sure you and your husband are on the same page. It will take some sacrifice from you both. Blessings ❤

If you look back on the average weight, waist measurements of women over the decades in america, that alone can prove your point. As the house chores were less and less INconvenient (i.e. having to hand wash clothes and grow your own food to washing machines and grocery stores) the wider the waist became. This also translates to the rest of the family! As women went to work outside of the home, the waists of the FAMILY started to expand! When I was in the military, their idea of caring for pregnant women was putting them on shore duty...usually sitting at a desk. I gained 50 pounds with my first pregnancy and 40 pounds with my second. The difference with my second is I knew more about eating right. But I am TTC now and we run a homestead. I told my doc that I am not concerned with gaining as much weight this time because I have a 50x150 garden, we heat with wood we collect from the woods, I cook mostly from scratch, I home can and preserve, I homeschool now.....I'm BUSY and NOT sitting at a desk. Women back into he 1800's and early 1940's were busy day in and day out. If they were sitting their hands were moving grinding coffee, wheat to flour, knitting, mending, crocheting, stocking the fire, rocking a baby.... It seems the only time they weren't doing something was when they were sleeping! Modern conveniences are killing us.
Absolutely. I find it comical that, in order to make up for the harms of these modern conveniences, many people spend a large portion of the free time provided by those conveniences "working out." Working out was once simply an unavoidable part of living-as God intended, I think-and now, we perform an artificial substitute for it.
🥰😍💪💪❤
We can blame the Industrial Revolutions for all that!
@@idepartasair I find that entertaining also. When it as in the military, I worked out. I came to love it. On the ship, it was my "me time". But now, I don't need to waste the gym membership fee. I sort of miss the gym atmosphere but seriously, if you actually live life, you don't need a gym.
It’s the increased cortisol. Women don’t have as much testosterone as men, they only have 1/20th of it. So their body has to produce a lot of cortisol and adrenaline to keep up. Cortisol causes weight gain
Awesome!! How cool that God treasures us enough to preserve us like that! I do believe the Bible teaches that too. I am a young unmarried woman. You inspire me so much :) Thanks for the video.
I’m so glad you worded it that way! It’s so true! God treasures us and takes care of us but when we aren’t serving to his will, we don’t get to experience His blessings the same way. God bless 🙏🏻
I chose the job of a homemaker and I was in love with taking care of my kids, school run, market runs, cooking healthy meals etc. My husband however was hounding me to look for work outside the home, whilst he was never home and returned home late often. His narcissistic mother joined him in the hounding and finally I left the marriage after 4 kids,.now fully into building my Realestate company and still doing house chores.
I pray I find a godly husband who knows his place and my place and is willing to accept me for who I originally am.
Sorry that you had to go through this. As easy as it is to pin the blame on the ex, I believe the indoctrination is by design to rid the home of the woman. With both parties working, the government gets to collect taxes from both; the system gets to raise your children; and they get to convince you that serving your husband is “slavery”, but being a slave to your job is “empowerment”. Fatherless homes and women breaking their backs in the workforce to provide for their fatherless children has been the biggest detriment to society as a whole. I hope you find a godly man who will see your value regardless of whether you work or stay home, and you have no regrets about your personal decision to work or not work. In the end, we are to honor God in everything we do. He can use any circumstance for His glory. God bless.
I pray you find that man.
I think you should remain single, since your husband is alive. Pray he gets saved and deliverance from narcissism
Smh
Sorry you had to meet with the narcissistic mother in law. They always ruin everything.
Bindi your videos have blessed me so much. I am a new Christian and at first I felt like in order to be a true follower that I should quit my job and take to the streets evangelizing everyone I see. Your videos have shown me that my main ministry is in my own home and that I should probably work on consecrating myself as a daughter of God, a wife, and a mother before I do anything else. Your words have convicted me and shed light on some serious shortcomings that I need to work with the Holy Spirit to correct. Please keep making videos. You are an inspiration.
I am certainly most at peace when I am home doing the home making. It is a lost art and such an important job. I only work one day a week outside the home and I love what I do. But there is definitely a difference in my stress levels on the day I work outside compared to my homemaking days. Both my husband and I were raised by stay at home moms so we knew we always wanted this for our family. And I love being home so much. It is certainly life giving to me. I always remember, I am replaceable absolutely everywhere except my home and to my family. So that’s where my priority lies.
I love how you’re always looking for ways to inspire Women to not just take their rightful places in their marriages but to also love it. How you always put the focus on loving, honoring and obeying God. I’m 63 now and when I was 32 my daughter was 1 years old. I was a believer and still am. I was married at the time, however, I was not even close to as knowledgeable as you are about being a homemaker and how it’s embedded into the obedience of Gods word. I loved God, my daughter and husband. I loved keeping the house clean, decorating and cooking. When things were good so was I, when things wasn’t good neither was I. I had not learned how to take my troubled marriage to the Lord in prayer. I had surrounded myself with lukewarm Christians at best so no real guidance was available. Maybe I was lukewarm too. My hearts desire was to have lots of children and be a stay at home mom. That never happened for me. I’ve had to work, and my marriage ended in divorce. I work from home now and still enjoy being a homemaker. I love organizing, and keeping things pretty. Life can be mundane and in my case sometimes lonely. Thank God I have him. I don’t know how people do it without him. Enough said. Thank you for your teachings and Love for Jesus. Keep me in your prayers. And I need you to post more often. You don’t have to have these books all the time, you got enough inside you, share that as well. Much Love…
I’m sooo happy I found this channel ❤️ I am 23 years old and my husband is 24. We just got married 6/28/23! 🎉 God bless you and your family! 🙌🏾You are beautiful 🫶🏾
I love being a home maker. I have an invisible disability which makes paid employment difficult to maintain, so my husband and I agreed that I would work at home. We don't have a lot of money so to save on accommodation costs when we travel between his jobs, I have almost finished building a camper that I designed for our pick up truck and I've loved every minute of it. It's kept me fit, outdoors, mentally stimulated and a sense of accomplishment.
Great job and God bless you! 😁❤ I'm so proud of you! You are truly an inspiration, and congrats on the camper! 🤗🌻🦋
@@brittanyjackson6432
Thankyou❤
@@jessejules2092 You're so welcome! 🌻🦋😀
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been working full time for 17 years, married for almost 10, and a mom for almost 8. I’ve always been a work-outside-the-home-mom out of necessity. In about 2 months, my husband will go through a job change that will enable me to step away from my job and be at home with our children. I’ve been waiting for this for 8 years. I’m nervous, but excited and ready. Thank you for your commentary, for giving dignity to homemaking, for recognizing that the most important work will be done within the walls of your own home. It has filled my heart with much needed love. Thank you, have a wonderful day!
I recently stepped back into the role of full time homemaker and my stress level has gone down considerably, my family is eating healthier, I’m getting to know the mom’s of my son’s friends, I’m taking more walks in my gorgeous neighborhood. All of the things I love to do, I was rushing past due to work responsibilities and now I can relax into the role God has planned for me all along. Beautiful video, thanks for the inspiration this morning.
Thank you for this. I saw the difference in my own life once I left the work force and stayed home to raise our son. I sat A LOT at work and couldn't lose the weight I've gained. Once I stayed home and breastfed our son, I lost 30 lbs easy. I couldn't fit any of my clothes. I was healthier, ate more veggies with every meal, and was overall happier. I think this culture has brainwashed us to be repulsed by being homemakers when it's the very thing that would literally change our lives. Now I'm pregnant with our second and this pregnancy is much healthier. I have to carry around a 30 lbs toddler up and down steps all day, roughhouse with him, clean, cook, and move around all day. The Lord knew what He was doing and he's been sanctifying me the whole time. Women should instead of making excuses just follow the Lord and allow Him to make provision for your life in your obedience. Great job with this!
I’ve been a SAHM for a little over 2 years now. For those 2 years I procrastinated, have been lazy, dreaded any housework or cooking, and just overall was miserable. I just had my second baby 6 weeks ago and a couple weeks ago decided I didn’t want to live like that anymore. That this house cannot function probably if I’m not making an effort. I’ve deleted almost all social media and have been determined to care for my home and family joyfully everyday. I am the happiest that I’ve ever been. Being productive and changing my attitude on serving my family has been wonderful for my mental, physical, and spiritual health. (Side note: reading Fascinating Womanhood has changed my life too).
First time commenting, I just wanted to first thank the Lord for finding this channel. Being a wife and SAHM has been a challenge because it's not as glamorous as other professions, but now that I have found your channel my perspective and appreciation of what I do day in/day out is changing. Thank you for your gentle rebukes and exhortations, God bless you and your family ❤❤
You are blessed. I wish you be found by a man who would be open to me staying at home if I wish.
@@Jenny-fl5cn Our God is faithful and if we are obedient to and put our trust in Him, He is more than able to grant us the desires of our hearts. Praying for God to send you a husband who does all that and then some lol🙌🏾🤗🙏🏾
I’ve been loving adorning my house with fresh flower bouquets as well… Also, I looooove this dress!🌹
Thanks for the upload.
This has really blessed me. I never thought of it like this. I am now a 100% homemaker, only about 10 months now, and I am now seeing my body slowly climb back to health. Before, I had a maid who did everything in my house while I was out working. But there I was dealing with various health challenges. Now that I am at home, ( I stopped with the maid) I realize what an unhealthy lifestyle I previously had for years. I also realize how out of tou h I had become with my home that Jesus gave us. I was sitting 8 to 5 5 days a week on previous office job. Since I have became a homemaker( Christian one), my husband is happy, and I feel more fulfilled and healthy, and I am slowly getting better. Praise the Lord. To God becthe Glory. Here was crying out gor healing and my healing was wrapped ip in Homemaking.
You're beautiful sister! Praying you have an amazing time serving in your home and your husband :) oh and ofcourse our loving Jesus. Well done!
I agree! Housework is fulfilling, satisfying, and healthy! You conveyed this message beautifully!
Thank you for your video, Bindi! You words remind me of the special Christian life of Saint Therese of Lisieux and her love of serving Jesus Christ.
Here are a few of quotes from her:
"Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love."
"If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness."
"The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother."
Oh how refreshing, thank you! Please pray for me as I take this on board. I have started feeling weary with my home and looking after my two little children. I love my home and its not much and I try take care of it as best as I can; but I desire to be more cheerful in the role of Wife and Mama and look after it with a much brighter attitude 🤗 prayers would be hugely appreciated, thank you sisters ❤️
You took the words right out of my mouth❤
I just happened upon your Channel and I really enjoy it. I have some life experience to share about this. I was predominantly a homemaker until I was 48 years old, raising children, Keeping a home, growing a garden, canning food, living in a rural environment and being outdoors a lot.Then I went into the workforce. I was also just going into menopause. I had a harder time because of the stress of work. Now it's 65 I work part-time in sales which is stressful but I get to make my own schedule and work as little or as much as I want to depending on how much money I want to make. The happiest I am is when I'm home keeping my home beautiful. Gardening is also really really wonderful. Homemaking can keep you in really great shape! I think your videos definitely onto something.
Thought provoking, thank you for this video. I turned 30 and am in my journey of becoming a diligent homemaker in the image of God for the glory of God and in service to my husband.
Just to add to your content- the flylady cleaning routine is a great place to start for anyone having trouble with keeping up their home. It’s completely changed how I view and value housework.
Things I used to hate doing I now do simply because I enjoy the end result- dusting, making the bed, cleaning my bedroom, and cleaning the bathroom! Still hate laundry though 😅
I would like to recommend a book. It’s called Lessons from Madame Chic. It’s about a woman who went on a student exchange trip to France. One of the lessons in the book is that working out should be embedded in our homemaking. Well the book explains how the trip impacted Jennifer’s life. It’s a true story and Jennifer has a channel on RUclips called the daily connoisseur. I would describe her as a diligent and efficient homemaker.
Yes, I really enjoy her channel as well 😊
Yes, I love her content as well.
I admire Jennifer L. Scott as a very wise young homemaker.
I recently left my construction job (desk job) for a job in a day care. I made a career change and it’s the best decision I’ve made. I’ve had to make financial sacrifices. My family opposes my decision but they are coming around. My sister made a comment last night the hit the nail about the level of stress and impact on the body. At my last job I was always stressed due to deadlines , billing and contract negotiations. I was miserable and would often com home stressed and drained. Now, I come home drained from chasing and feeding little ones all day. But I have to say that I am happier and more soft. My sister noticed the change in me and even applauded me for having the courage to make this change for myself even though our parents were against it. Children bring an inner peace and love that no job can ever provide. I do hope to meet someone soon and become a homesteader.
Well since you asked for a comment. I started Peri meno at 38! 4 years later the unpleasant anxiety you get from hormonal changes was so intense that I turned to my vicar for support- if there was something I could read from the bible to support through this challenging time. ( I was not sedentary- in fact I was pretty fit and healthy) … he told me it was God’s judgment on me as not all of us can enter heaven. So I turned to HRT and that worked a treat but my heart was broken into a million pieces. That was 10 years ago. I found your videos today and remembered how it was to be. Christian. I never returned to church.
Bindi!!!! Was just scrolling thru your contents n I was about to holla!!!! Thank you Jesus for inspiring Bindi Marc💛💛
Work place stress is real.
I feel most relaxed when I am home making. And when I can invest my time and energy into making my home more harmonious. I love that says, home making preserves the women. It’s lovely to know that there is a place in the world were we can sit back and be ourselves.
This is the first time I’ve made a comment on your channel. But God used you to confirm my calling for being home. God bless you!
What a breath of fresh air!! I read Fascinating Womanhood 50 years ago and it very much shaped how I lived my life as a stay at home mom and homemaker. I love that you are supporting this today!
I'm dealing with work stress right now. God doesn't seem to want to deliver me from this. While I like this video, it also saddens me as I am forced to work because I am currently not married. Most companies do not truly care about you or your health. The profit matters more than the souls and health of people. It is too much on my physical body and mind.
I feel you. Similar situation. I pray God gives you grace.
Same!
Needed to hear this today. I’ve been torn between continuing to work as a full time HS English teacher (in a Christian school) or taking on a home keeping role for a few years. I’m a mother of three young girls (6, 3 1/2, and a 10 month old).
For what it's worth, I gave up entering a professional career, which I studies for years for, to raise (still doing it!) my 7 children. I do not regret giving my life to my family and I think that if I had not have made the choice that I did, I would have regretted that. I think that this culture is so anti-family, anti-mother and anti-child that it is critical that we - if we can - take the option to be the ones to raise our children, to develop their values and morals. Clearly the world is doing a really bad job of that!
Stay home you only get one chance
I prayed and asked the Lord 15 years ago if I should stay at work as an RN or stay home full-time with my children and the Lord answered through the visit of a dear friend. He saw my baby in the cradle and said, "there is no more higher calling or noble position than to be a wife and a mother."
I will treasure the years at home with my 6 children. It is very hard but well worth it, praise God!
Be at home with your girls and in your heart 😊 you won’t regret it! The money from work is nice but the personal growth you will gain and the intimacy in your relationships cannot compare ♥️ Blessings ~ 64 y.o. … stay at home wife and mother of six grandmother of six thus far 😊 the blessings are incomprehensible!!!
When they are school age you could go back to working outside the home for a few hours if you want.
This has indeed changed my attitude on my everyday tasks. Mommy/wife life. Praise God. Thanks sister.
I recently prayed and asked God to help me to become a better homekeeper. As a part-time working and studying mum with a toddler, i find it incredibly hard to keep up with home duties, and sometimes my home just gets so out of hand and I struggle to get motivated. This video really helped me and I believe God is answering my prayer and this video has played a part in him moulding me into the mother he intended me to be. Thank you for allowing God to use you, god bless you 💕
Wow this video was beautiful! I’m gonna ramble here so apologies in advance lol! As a young woman I’m finally allowing myself to embrace being feminine and traditional femininity! and seeing it tied to faith like this honestly made me super emotional! I felt like wow this is what I’ve been searching for, and hopefully one day I can become a caring homemaker like yourself :)! It’s embarrassing to admit but I’m still learning how to be traditionally feminine, and love and accept the beauty and blessing of being born a woman! I feel like a lot of young girls now a days are made to look down on home makers or women in touch with their feminine energy and think that they’re “oppressed” which is so sad! I just want to say thank you and God bless you for the energy and information you spread! I hope you know how much your channel helps women and girls like me🌷🕊️🙏!!
Just recently decided to stay home. Thank you for inspiring biblical homemaking and educating us on the value of this. ❤
I believe you are correct. All order or "rules" God has set in place are for our good. He is good.
My husband and I are living with his parents until he graduates next semester. I’m so excited to be the homemaker of our first home in the future. To be able to have more space to homemake outside of his parents house will be good for the whole family
I always worked outside the the home at least part time and then I was widowed young, our son still in high school. And I've had to be full time in the workforce since. One of the things I am REALLY looking forward to next year with retirement is getting to be a full time homemaker for the first time in my life.
I really would like to be a house wife I am currently single but I find so much peace in keeping up with my home and creating new meals it’s just something so relaxing in walking in gods purpose ❤
Struggling in the past to loose weight after having a baby I asked my Oma (she just turned 86! ,) how she stayed in shape as a homemaker etc if she had ever excercised and she said no she just did her housework! So instead of forcing myself to get that workout in at the end of the day I will go the extra mile and clean an extra mess or start a new project bc constant consistent movement is enough! If I miss my workout it’s ok bc I go on walks with the kids throughout the day usually anyways. Just need to eat relatively clean and stay hydrated and give my home and my kiddos my all. When I’m content and loving w the right serving heart that’s beautiful too!
What a great video, once again, Bindi 🙏I love your content! And I agree with you. God must have had a bigger plan in mind when He gave us females the responsibility of homemaking. It's a privilege to be serving Him in this manner and realizing the power this position holds is very rewarding. We can be obedient followers of the Most High in our daily activities which (to me) feels so great!!! And I say that as an unmarried child of God... Your videos have helped me prepare for the marriage into which the Lord might call me one day ❤
May God bless you and your family. Greetings from Germany!
I had to come back to this video to leave this comment! Even though at the time when I watched this video months ago, I was not a full time homemake but just thought of it as good for thought but since then life has changed and I am now a full time homemaker and can attest that I move more now that at my actual place of employment. Doing normal housework, I clock in over 13k steps per day and on not so busy days I still get anyway between 5-9k! With the lowered stress of not having to work combined with the movement of taking good care of the home I am happy and also finally seeing weight loss! I just had to come back because this is truly a gem!❤
It’s such a good reminder to trust in our loving Father and simply do what He says. His commands are not burdensome. His ways are good and true!
I work part time as a massage therapist. The evenings I work I always come home grumpy and exhausted. The days I get to spend all day at home with my daughter are tiring (especially because I'm renovating our house those days) but I'm not grumpy and I'm not drained. I completely understand what you mean about the differences between tiring and draining.
I had a 1.5 year old and was 5 mo pregnant when I tried to work just two days a week as a massage therapist to "keep up my skills," but it was actually for the praise I get when I give a good massage. I don't get praise for being a good mother all day! So for selfish reasons (not really the money) I tried to work through the end of the pregnancy. The tiredness I felt on the days I worked, plus not getting dinner cooked or things done, or needing to schedule childcare, or not spending the quality time and really connecting with my toddler that day- made it an immediate disaster. It is okay to take deep breaths and not over schedule yourself- I realized! Having some months to enjoy my first child was OK, before the second baby. My husband was not upset that dinner wasn't made- he was upset that I was stressing myself out unnecessarily:) it was good to realize that I was really NEEDED at home all the time.
I had to reply bc I understand the flexibility of being a massage therapist:) and it is rewarding!
As a fellow massage therapist, I want to invite you to ask yourself why you are grumpy after working? Are you taking on clients’ stress & feelings? Challenge yourself to stay grounded during your sessions, even if you feel for folks, let it pass through you, into the earth & pray for those people that God may help shoulder their burden, not you. 🙏🏽
@@hannahhood3640 I agree!
I believe all of this is true. I am a single mother, and I do work from home, but it is not the same as being a homemaker. My job drains me physically and emotionally. I sit at a computer for 8 hours, and somehow I am exhausted when I'm done, leaving little time and energy for me to do homemaking activities. I do what I can, though. I started a garden and we are getting chickens soon. I handwash my laundry outside as much as I can. I recently started making sourdough bread. I'm praying for a Godly man to come into my life so I can eventually be a full time homemaker 🙏❤ Thank you for the wonderful video!
I understand what you mean. I work fulltime in the medical field. It's extremely stressful but also labor intensive. Dealing with patients can be difficult not to mention hoyer lifts, wheelchairs etc. I am exhausted from work.
Whereas I can do loads of laundry, run errands, bake, etc and also be exhausted but that stress and labor makes me happy, fulfilled in purpose.
I remember my mother, a stay at home wife singing all the time. Even when grocery shopping or sewing she felt happy. It made her feel useful. She was a wonderful example for me.
I'm not married, no children. I am post menopausal. Let me tell you, it is the most freeing liberating time in life. So much worry is gone.
I don't know all God has planned for me, marriage wise.
But I do know allowing myself the freedom to enjoy my likes (canning, baking, crafts etc) regardless of what society says is important makes me content.
I enjoy womanhood. God blessed me when He made me a woman!
Science caught up to God's Word and affirms His goodness without even knowing it. Thank you, Jesus. You are a good King!
I love this. I just cleaned the house in preparation for a family visit and it was exhausting however oddly gratifying. This is the work my mother usually does with or without me and she was away on holiday. Being next in line as the woman of the house, it was a responsibility I didn’t know I wanted… just gratifying. Thank you for this fresh outlook on homemaking. I look forward to being a Wife and Mother. The jurisdiction I’ll have of running a tight ship yet preparing and presenting a haven for my Husband and children.🌹
Great topic! I gave my career up for a more feminine job as a teacher. It wasn’t about money it was about exactly what you mention which is doing what is natural to me the way God intended for it to be. I’m a happier mom and see my own child all day at work.
You are always so full of wisdom. I love how you speak truth to us in this corner of the internet. ❤
Love this video ❤ Nothing is a coincidence. God has planned it all. I struggled finding my purpose when I first started staying at home with my kids. This video just made me feel blessed because He designed everything intentionally.
I love what you said at the end about whether the work, regardless of how tiring, is draining you or filling you up. Really helps put things into perspective. 🙏🏻❤️
I agree with you wholeheartedly!! I’m so sad I’m all caught up on your videos as I just found this page a couple of weeks ago. Keep sharing what the Holy spirit places in you…its so extremely helpful and needed in today’s society! My journey is similar to yours as i too worked in the corporate world first! I am now a 33yr old christian housewife, mother of 4 and loving this blessed journey but this page has helped me find even MORE joy in what I do! Thank you girl! I even had a similar experience with my road to modest dressing and this has REALLY helped guide me with that!
Great information, thank you for sharing! I am a full time homemaker who left the corporate world to be home with my children full time. It has been such a blessing to my entire family, but the biggest blessing is mine.
My corporate job was high stress and my mental and physical health were trashed. Being a homemaker is hard, but it is so good! I hope I never have to go back!
Thank you so much Joyce for your unmatched wisdom and insight into your thought life and also a sneak preview at your daily life. I love the new format of the B roll highlighting what some people would see as mundane tasks; you have showed that housework can be fun and exciting as a homemaker. As a single woman aspiring to be both a homemaker and a homeschooler in the very near future, this is definitely inspirational content for me because I get to see the joys of my first ministry, which will always be to my family and my home 🏠 ❤
I'm a working homemaker. Meaning I still carry out all of the demands of homemaking AND have day job.
I get off work, come home and begin essentially a "night shift" serving my family. Weekends are used to catch up and run errands. Sundays are for God.
I do sit a lot at work, but housework and yardwork and working out at home does help keep me relatively fit. ❤❤❤
God KNEW what he was doing
There's a book I read called the Adventist Home by Ellen White - and man, a lot of things you are saying she says it too! She goes into detail about each member of the family, their roles in the home not only benefits the family as a whole, but individually as well.
The role of the Husband/Father, the role of the Wife/Mother, and the role of children.
It's like God's perfect family balance restored.
Thanks for the recommendation:)
@@Talania12 Always check with the Bible though..!

I was just about to post the same book!
I have been a homemaker for 12 years now. I enjoy being home with my children and keeping up with my families needs. I have also received a lot of negativity from others who don’t have the same understanding. My husband and I have always felt that me being home was top priority for our family. Sometimes talking with other moms who work is hard, they tell me about their meetings and office drama, and I feel like I don’t have much to add to conversations. However I know that this is the Lord plan for this season of my life and it brings me JOY❤ Wonderful video, Thank you!
I so desire to be a housewife, homemaker, stay at home mom. I will be getting married in December and I’m so excited to start that journey with my husband!🥰
However, I was feeling kind of bad and uncertain because I’ve been home for 1.5 years already due to debilitating chronic vestibular migraines. I haven’t been able to contribute much to the home in this time. Because when I say debilitating I really mean that. But, since the beginning of this month - with new medication and of course prayer - I’ve been starting to feel better more mobile and really bad days or times don’t last as long.
I told my fiancé that I wanted to be a housewife and he said that’s totally fine! He will make sure we have enough. We are planing to homeschool our future children so it was going to happen sooner or later but it’s looking like I won’t go back to office work when I’m totally healed. I have a call from God to speak about the Lord to people. I will just begin to work on my ministry through RUclips, podcasts and the like.
I’m working on embracing the life God has called me to and not despising the season I’m in. I have grown so much in my love for the Lord, His word and His people. I have increased in knowledge and wisdom and I’m so excited to share it with the world. I’m learning to be patient and trust the process. It’s not easy especially when my mind is excited for something but I can’t physically do it yet. But my time is coming!
I'm new to your channel, but have been so blessed by everything I've watched so far. This is a very interesting perspective and food for thought. It honestly makes sense....I work from home, but there are some days my mind is just not focused on my job. I find myself desiring to cook, bake, clean my home or do something in my home to make it beautiful rather than sit at my desk answering phone calls or emails. I think as when, we were naturally designed to create, nurture and tend. You are so gracious in the way you present your messages. May God bless you in this ministry as you pursue it further!
I am 33 as well. I have 5 kids and God has been leading me to find a new outlook on homemaking because after going through the newborn and nursing phases and moving into a fixer upper home after just fixing up our previous 900sqft with all 7 of us living in it during newborn, breastfeeding, and potty training phases. So my youngest is now 5 and that past season wore me out. Now God is showing me this new season and how to enjoy it again and make a peaceable and beautiful home.
Thank you for your videos. I have been watching them and thankful to find them at just the right time.
thank you Bindi! I love how you take things that are perceived as unfair to women and show how abundant womanhood is especially if you are blessed to be home and married with kids! I especially liked one of your videos that you talked abouthow the husband may not seem very helpful with the kids or home but that it evens out in the long haul and that has helped me appreciate my husband who has given me the oppurtunity to be a homemaker instead of crititcal of him
Bindi, I just wanted to thank you for your videos ❤,
they have helped me so much! im a young unmarried Christian woman, and my mother did not teach me so many of the things ive learned on your channel. im so grateful for you as a resource and an inspiration. God Bless you! Thank you for filling the gap!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I just thank you for allowing God to work through you. Haven’t even completed the full video but already I have pulled so much from this post.
I am in continual awe of your wisdom at such a young age! I keep saying it, but you not only speak the truth, but you say it out loud for others to hear, that is love in action ❤️. Today’s lovely point; Drained or drained “yet filled” with satisfaction for a job well done. I know them both WELL and I hold the second in high esteem! I know others do too…..including you❤️. Keep up the good work.
Love this! I’m a data person by nature, so studies backing up what my instincts are is encouraging. I turned 30 last year and decided to make some big changes for this next decade. One of those changes was to learn the art of homemaking rather than just seeing it as housekeeping. It’s meant that I haven’t been able to have as much dedicated workout time, but I’m actually feeling peppier and more rested even though I’m up and moving most of the day now.
I just found your channel today and cannot express how much it has already helped me. I did not choose to be a homemaker. My husband is very old fashioned and made it clear from the beginning that that is what he wanted for us and our kids. For many years, I really resented that. I wanted a career I could be proud of. In the last few years, however, we found God and I have since found an appreciation for homemaking. The only thing that has changed has been my perspective, yet I somehow feel more fulfillment than my career ever gave me. The statement about being tired and drained vs tired and full is something I am familiar with! Thank you so much for sharing and I can't wait to check out your other videos.
Firstly, it is always a pleasure to watch your videos. They help in bringing about much stability to the world of biblical womanhood. Secondly, I do want to commend your efforts in always trying your best to present to us (viewers) information that challenges us to look at this whole ideation of housekeeping and biblical femininity as something positive and beneficial to all stakeholders. On that note, I really believe that God in His infinite Wisdom would have thought of this benefit for homemakers. Because He said in His Word and have proven that He can be trusted to take care of us, in every area we need. Finally, may God richly bless you and your family (even generations to come) and reward you opening for you commitment to building up the Body of Christ.
You are a blessing to us all, especially women. Thank you! ❤
This was confirmation for me to execute my exit plan from my 9-5 by working on my online business. House work is very therapeutic for me but after being in an office most of the week I am exhausted and drained and neglecting my chores. I really appreciated this video and perspective as I “felt it” and resonated with it. Thank you 🙏🏽
I never wanted to work outside of the home. Ive got a rewarding career that pays my bills because I needed one. It has given me a life of independence and respect because as an unmarried woman, I don’t have to rely on others day to day. Therefore I am grateful that I can work and have meaningful work. However, my dream was to be a happily married housewife and mother. I was raised to keep home for a husband that I never had. Still waiting for this. I wish so much-and I know that I am not alone in this-I wish I could walk away from the stress of career and walk towards a life of marriage and keeping a warm and loving home. I don’t need studies to tell me that it’s a good life. The only thing that makes it a hard life is if there is no love, abject poverty, or no support when needed…and that’s true in every work situation.
You articulated your last point very well.
The work of homemaking is life giving, truly satisfying when you understand its value and purpose. You go to sleep tired but fulfilled and at peace.
This was a very interesting topic and it added a little more purpose to my daily grind as a home maker. 😊
I love this! Thank you for these thoughts; I will be sharing this with my daughter. ❤
One thing that really strikes me is that no matter the topic, obedience to our Creator always serves us well. All of His instruction is for our good and I’m so glad that you brought this out and made us think about this!
Thank you for what you’re doing, Bindi! I am new on my journey to being a biblical woman, wife, mother and homemaker and your videos have help change my mindset, my heart in it all and I have found a new joy and excitement in my life that I’ve never experienced before. I have gotten many convictions through your videos. God is using you to do great things! He is so good!
Thank you so much...this video came up on my RUclips feed on a day that I actually prayed for guidance (for so many things, but a lot revolved around my role as the homemaker and nurturer for my family).
This was the guidance I needed. Thank you, the Lord definitely had a hand in this. ❤🙏
Great value in your video Bindi. I was a sahm for 12 years and your video gives great prespective. The amount of flexibility that women need to cater to themselves and spouses, their children and their homes (non of which are machines) requires a great attitude for peace, requires a good support system to be effective and valued. ❤❤
Great message, thank you for sharing. I would also like to say, that I enjoy watching you cook and do things around the house...it's very calming and also your nails always look super elegant and pretty 😊🤍 God bless you, lovely sister 🙏
Wow i was so excited when i saw a new video from you bindi,,may God bless you and what you do.
I cannot tell you how much this encouraged and blessed me. I hope to one day run my own home and this, this helps me to cement even more the DELIGHT it is to keep and care for a home. Thank you, sister, for sharing.
You’re so beautiful! Thank you for this video. My mother was a beautiful homemaker and it’s one of the best gifts I’ve ever been given to have a childhood like that!
I needed this reminder… because I allowed myself to get negative about it. But I actually loved and took joy in keeping my home clean and welcoming.. I’m struggling to get back to that. Thank you for this.
I work outside the home, but I definitely do see how the work I do inside the home fills me a lot more than than my job. The work I do outside the home is definitely more draining.
Thank you for this video. I am also a Christian and took the role of housewife and although I wasn’t completely opposed to it I did sometimes tend to look at it as my cross to bear as a woman. Meaning overall I was happy to do it but sometimes I would get resentful because of how Mundane can become and sometimes lonely especially if you’re not surrounded by other women doing the same thing. But your video along with others that are like you has shown me that it’s OK to be fully happy doing this type of work and has made it much more enjoyable and joyful for me. You shared many delightful insights. I will be subscribing and looking forward to your future videos. Blessings and love to you and yours!🤍
You're channel popped up in my timeline and I am so glad, you're such a blessing!
It's wonderful to find women who enjoy their domestic lives. I chose to never marry nor have children, but I completely support women making their own choices. Fantastic! You ladies are SO necessary and truly are the bedrock of a society.
I think you are onto truth here. I am always thinking deeper about things, asking questions, looking for connections so I so enjoyed this talk a lot. In addition, I am still learning to value my work as a homemaker and I know that when I do, I can attest to there being a marked difference in the way I feel physically, as well as emotionally and mentally.
God's design is always perfect. I am 67 years old, and the older I get, the more amazed I am at His wisdom. For many years I was a single mom and had to work full time while also going to school, but that is not God's design or plan for women. Unfaithful husbands and this fallen world does that to us. Thank you for a beautiful video, Bindi!
Thank you I’ve been struggling with keeping up with my home and I’m
Not enjoying it as much . My husband takes me for granted. I enjoy housework but it is a lot at times,it was much easier to do a 9-5 but we always argued because the house and kids were a mess. Now I need to remember why I’m doing this and the benefits of it instead of feeling worthless . Thanks sooo much for sharing this very important information ❤
I love this! It makes total sense to me that the Lord would multiply our efforts and obedience... always!
People can say what they want to say but it is all true. When we serve our household and the family this blesses the Lord 🥰 this is our first ministry . I receive all these wonderful godly truths that I am learning. so happy I found this channel❤❤❤🎉🎉
