Don’t forget to S U B S R I B E!
I relate so much with what you were saying. As moms, I feel like we get so consumed by our children and our house that we forget to take time for ourselves to deep dive into Him and His word. I've been trying to be intentional about reading at least some in the morning before I start my day, and it's been helpful. Keep going, girl. It's going to be hard to start distancing from those influential friends, but it will better your walk with the Lord. Stay strong.
Also, I love chili too. Eat it pretty much every day lol.
I know it's the one thing that i've been dreading is starting to create that space. I try to read in the morning and before I go to bed, since I cant read that much in the morning since its pretty loud after the kids wake up haha
I know exactly how that is. I've got four as well. Reading at night is a good idea, I'm going to start doing that. Thank you.
i love how you opened up about being a Christian❤ just know that only God is the final judge so it really doesn’t matter what others think. none of us are perfect, God sees our hearts. continue to pray for a pure heart in all that you do and He will lead the way. we’re here for and with you Maddy!💓
Maddy I am 54 years old and a Christian I came from a family where God was frowned upon and I didn't care to listen to their stuff or nonsense so even with anxiety and depression I turned my life around abd am a single mom to two amazing children and a almost 5 year old grand daughter and almost 2 yea rold grandson and another baby due in April of 2024 so u do u and all will be well God loves u and he created us to make mistakes and to learn from them which u seem to grasp no problem u got this Maddy and I will always watch ur vlogs
Youre a wonderful family , im praying for you, The Lord is faithful xx
Little steps lead to improvement that makes a change. There is a movement happening and I do feel like it is for the better. I might have started for content but now I think genuinely, we all want the simple life. We want something that fulfills us in our souls. Praying for you and your family. Things are changing even if it is the small things.
Why was the part of him walking with the bag on his head so funny 🤣🤣
hahahha im glad someone else found it funny! Kevin and I watched it at least 5 times crying laughing loll
I relate to so much you said.. I’ve been looking for content like this. I’m a mom to 4 kids 5 and under. ❤️ looking forward to your videos and seeing the changes and your journey.
I totally understand. I feel like I should be more in tuned with my faith as well and teach my boys more about God. Thank you for sharing your personal moments.
Another mom in the same boat! It's so hard to live out faith when the world pulls you in ever direction. It pays to be intentional. Nobody's perfect but that's where Jesus comes in. Praying for your family. We are trying to do the same thing here.
Thank you for being so transparent and honest! We all have seasons when we are not as close to God as we need to be - but that's why Jesus died for us sinners. You are showing humility.
Baptist Christian stay at home mom here too 🙋🏻♀️ This is the best decision you could have made, once saved always saved. But God will rebuke and correct us once we are his child if we live a life without faith and in disobedience. Making this choice pleases Him and he will bless you and your family. Your 4 boys will thank you for raising them up this way, God promises that if we raise up our children in the word, they will not depart from it. Have faith God’s promises, stay vigilant with your children, submit and love your husband, and God will take care of the rest. I’ve seen it in my life
Thank you 😊
Praying for you as you seek to walk in faithful obedience to the Lord!! As you draw near to him he will draw near to you! I’m a mom of 4, and I’ve always found your videos very relatable 🫶🏼
Also I make a similar corn bread. I always have to cook it longer than the box says, because the creamed corn makes it more liquidy.
I recently started every morning with the Bible and prayer. It is so important and I can tell a big positive difference in my life. Your relationships and children will benefit too. I also gave up alcohol and am so much better off without it.
thank you for the comment, thats so nice to hear! ❤
Hey girl, I feel you! I'm an avid RUclips-watcher but I *never* comment on RUclips videos. This video is so incredibly relatable. You expressed so many thoughts I have often about all my roles in life: as a mama to a one-year-old little boy, as a team leader in my full-time job, as a wife who is absolute crap at "homemaking," and as a very imperfect Christian. But I think one misconception that we beat ourselves up over is that following Jesus means we have to present to others as perfection. He calls us as we are and wants us no matter what. I am deeply inspired by a handful of Christian content creators who are blessed to live lives that allow them to put homemaking and mothering first, but sometimes it's not possible every single moment of every day, even for them (and I think we need a reminder of that).
You speaking up and wanting to shift your life and use your platform in a kingdom-serving way speaks volumes about who you are (so please don't worry about the failed sourdough next time it happens 😅), you're making such a difference and your sentiments are so valid and real, like your content always has been!
I appreciate you commenting! I absolutely agree and thank you so much ❤ I will keep you updated when I decide to start sourdough 😅
So interesting that you posted about this. I am also reconnecting to my spirituality and doing the work to get the messages. I also want my kids to grow up that way. Also I think it’s normal to have periods in life where we disconnect. But eventually it comes back at us and we feel imbalanced. Give yourself some grace, you birthed four beautiful humans. You have a whole lifetime to do the work ❤
I believe in you! It’s in our experiences that we can truly appreciate our journey and know how it feels to succeed. You’re a great mom and you’re a wonderful human ❤don’t forget!
Thank you!
You are doing great - Jesus understands. Take it one day at a time. He will never leave nor forsake you! Keep professing your faith!!!❤
❤ thank you Maddy for being open, i believe in God it was really strong relationship but it changed a little bit with my new partner.. he is a totally opposite and stubborn, i hope one day this will change. Anyway your video took me back to those beautiful times when i prayed a lot and took long walks just to talk to HIM ❤ be thankful for your partner, sending hugs from Europe
Thankyou for opening up and being honest about where you’re at. I have felt the exact same way. Just very out of control and confused… and making sense of where to start to start improving more recently. I pray you gain some clarity and wisdom but also it feels good knowing I’m not crazy, it’s just hard sometimes.
We are definitely in the exact same boat!! It’s an intentional year with God first!
Love this! ❤
That Bible reading part AMEN praise Jesus!!❤❤❤
I’m loving the recent videos, especially this one it’s so relatable. I went through the same type of situation about a year and a half ago. God is so good!🙌
I’ve been watching your channel since right before you had Lincoln when I was prepping for my second baby, you’ve made me realize that I can do hard things (two under two). Thank you for being such an inspiration for mamas alike! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing! ♥️
Hi Maddy! It was beautiful seeing you guys read your Bible together! His grace is sufficient! He will never let you down. Remember 2 Corinthians 12 ❤❤❤ you got this mama! Keep running the race!
I really appreciate your vulnerability in talking about your faith and how you’ve been struggling in motherhood lately. I’m right there with you. My little dude has been sick but thankfully much better now! But I have such a strong desire to want to raise him in church because I was raised having that community and it was our life. Since getting married and now having a child, it’s been almost nonexistent. Just the busyness of life and I have anxiety about taking him to church because he is only one and may cause disruption in the service. I hope to eventually get there again cause it’s so important to me. You’re a good mom and inspire me so much! I’m praying for you and your family! God bless you all!
im glad to hear your little one is feeling better. It's the worst seeing them sick :( but i'm in the same boat! i've been taking landon to church but we've been hesitant to go as a family because I know Darin will not stay in the nursery or sunday school. We all want to go together. Trying to navigate that has been difficult. Does your church have a nursery for the babies? Thank you for the sweet comment, and I will keep your dilemma in my prayers!
@@MadelieneVanMarter Thank you so much for your prayers! I’d say it is challenging for sure to attend as a family. I have been attending a local church near our home but I haven’t been consistent enough honestly to really get to know anyone. So leaving my son in nursery makes me nervous. But I need to try my best to get to know them and put myself out there. I know as my son gets older he’ll appreciate getting to know the other kids. And learn so much just in that setting about the Lord. It takes doing I guess instead of just hoping lol. Baby steps ☺️
I understand that! I'd feel the same way too. I saw this one family sitting in front of me at church and they had a 14 month old who they kept with them. they brought little toys and such to keep him busy and when he would fuss they would stand off to the side with him. I'm not sure if that would be helpful but I thought id share just in case!
Hey Tash! I just read your comment about wanting to go to church but it's so hard with little ones (I'm right there with you) anyway my church does a live service on RUclips every Sunday at 10:30am, the pastor is amazing and so relatable, so check it out if you're interested! The RUclips channel is King Street community church- you can enjoy from the comfort of your couch❤
I heard a saying before about taking little ones to church. "If the church isn't crying, it's dying". If anyone gives you any flack about them being loud, just ask them what they think Heaven will be like. Will it be as quiet as you think it should be?
Maddy! I just want to give you the biggest hug! Praise God for the gift of your awareness to reflect on your faith journey in an honest way. What a grace to see it for what it is and to feel the Holy Spirit highlighting where Christ is inviting you to go with Him! We all need God’s mercy every moment of every day in order to know and do His Will. As your sister in Christ, I’m so proud of you for not listening to the lies of the enemy and sharing your love for Our Lord. ❤ Being a wife and a mother are vocations that sanctify us and if they are meant to sanctify us, that means that we are in need of it! I think it’s clear that you have many women encouraging you and praying for you, especially in this moment of vulnerability. Watching you and Kevin read scripture in front of the boys was such a precious moment to witness as your viewers. That’s one of the best things you guys can do for them! There’s a quote that says “There’s nothing more extraordinary than an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary family”. I think of it often when I watch your videos. 😊
I am a Christian as well and I have been loving the ministry Blessed is She. They have an app with so much content that’s aesthetic and rich in the Word. Their focus is on prayer and community and encourage everyone to have Blessed Brunches with local women (who doesn’t love brunch 😂). Keep it up, sister. You’re doing so so well! 🤗
Ugh I needed this I love this video!! I cannot wait for your future & follow you in this path❤❤❤
We’re on the same road sister ❤️ this is exactly what I was feeling and desiring end of the year. I wasn’t raised religious at all but here in Germany you have practice in school an you go to church occasionally like christmas and Easter. The last years I tried a lot of new age spiritually and I always had a calling to connect with spirit... since last summer I started to come back more and more to God and his love... you brought the topic back in my life, bc you said smth small in one of your vlogs and it was a reminder/awakening for my heart. Thank you! I would love to connect and go this road together with like minded young mothers even though I’m in Germany. I feel connected to you (all). Love ❤️
I think it’s amazing that you were raised the way you said you were and you still cared to make the changes within yourself. Good for you momma. I also can totally sympathize with things looking okay on the outside (when it comes to parenting) and really your having a tough time. This too shall pass. You got this girl. I can’t even imagine being a momma to 4 kiddos their age. No matter what, you’re a rockstar. That’s tough. I have a 9 year old and a 3 week old. And I can’t imagine having any other kiddos that are under 6 while having a baby 😅
Hi! 🌸
The Holy spirit is always with you and the conviction is real. I am so glad your hearing him. I am the same way I've strayed away from my bible reading and slacking on my devotions. It's just good to know I am not alone. GOD is always there for us and he will always be there. He's always waiting for us to turn to him. I am also a Baptist Bible believing Christian. You are doing an awsome job with raising your boys. I have 1 son who is 15 months and me and my husband are expecting our 2nd child. Praise the Lord. Your videos motivate me. I always say if Maddy can do it then so can I! Haha ❤ I'll be praying for you and your family and your walk with God. May he guide you throughout this year. 🙏🏽
Dear Meddy. I never commented before but I have been following you for a while. (Greetings from Europe, Hungary 😊) I am also a young mom, only 2 little children yet but struggling.. I appreciate your honesty about your faith and I want to encourage you to keep seeking God, you will find rest and you will change for the best! I am happy you have this attitude, God is working in your heart and you will bear eternal fruits for His Kingdom.
I fail many times too but God has mercy and sees our heart's intention. Don't forget that Jesus came for the imperfect people to save them. He knows we all fall and gives us a way out. Just rely on Him. :)
You gave me so much inspiration, thank you! Praying for you 🙏
Love this one! 🫶🏻
Thank you for your vulnerability!
Proud of you Sister in Christ for coming back to your first love, Jesus Christ ❤️
thank you ❤
Really love the begging I got the video. I appreciate how vulnerable and real you were. I get like that too and this was a good reminder (conviction) of what I need to do♥️ love your content!
First, I love your videos! Second, I’m a Christian as well we all go through times where we struggle to put God first. But I just want you to know you inspire me and I’m proud of you!
Love this! Praying for your journey!
Also, we all fail. If it was easy to be perfect, we wouldn’t need Gods saving grace.
This is my favorite video of yours . so honest.
I love this video so much I wish I had friends like you in my life❤️
I can definitely relate to this. Good for you getting back into your Bible. That's been an ongoing struggle for me too. I really appreciate all your honesty, thank you! Hugs from Hawaii
You’re doing an amazing job. Your boys are beautiful! ❤
Rooting for you 🧡🫶🏼
Lov YOU all, maddy, you‘re a great Mom, god bless u all! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹 ( Europe) ❤🍀🙏😘

Loving the recent uploading schedule! 🤎
Darrin getting the banana 🍌 out of your hair.. what a sweetheart! Hudson looks so different! Absolutely adorable 🩵 linc is growing up so fast! Always love your content! You inspire me so much! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Darins engagement recently has been amazing! He's doing the sweetest things❤ thank you so much !
Thank you so much for sharing your heart and being so vulnerable! You remind me a lot of myself. There was a point in my life when i was in a similar place. I cant tell you how much God has done in my life! (Just as a example; i grew up with an alcoholic mother and ended up unintentionally marrying a man who was an alcoholic as well. Through prayer God delivered me of that by changing who my husband is and he has been sober 5 years now. And has overall been radically transformed by the Holy Spirit!) Ill be praying for you. surround yourself with other believers. Pray for a mentor! There is a book by Sally Clarkson called desperate that i read recently and helped me a lot with that overwhelming feeling of being a mother. (I have 5 kids-4 of them being boys as well) Fast and Pray! So much vice is taken away through this. Seriously dont underestimate the power of prayer! I love your channel ❤️ so glad to hear this!
I love and look forward to all of your videos, Maddy. You seem like a wonderful, wife, mommy, homemaker and person. Enjoy your beautiful family! ❤ P. S. Do you spell your shortened name Maddy or Maddie? Or do you prefer Madds?

Mama don’t be so hard on yourself! You are doing a great job 🎉❤. God bless you! You should read Francine Rivers A voice in the wind series. Great Christian author and lead character is filled with doubt about her walk. God bless you. Enjoyed the blog ❤
Hi Maddy iam a born again Christian nd iam a 25year old wife nd mom. . I can tell u now by u just opening up the door for Christ u already declaring war against Satan nd I can tell u from experience u gona loose friends nd family pple will try to discourage u in the faith ... u stay strong and steadfast in God he is always with u nd will not forsake u u are abt too enter into a beautiful season and allow God to minister to u do not give mind too pple of the world nd yes u may stumble only because u are human but that's why u always have to be dependent on God to lead u in the path his given u... I love this for u nd will continue supporting u 💓

Amen ❤
