The Art of Slow Christian Living I Traditional Homemaking

I struggle with wanting to please the lord, but having a struggle loving family members while trying to be Christian. I come from an abusive childhood, physical, mental, verbal. My childhood was very dysfunctional. I carry so much sadness heartache and baggage into my adult life. My mother pretty much abandoned my brother and I as kids, choosing a very deceitful, wicked life over her children. Raised by our grandparents, we grew up with love , caring, joyus and faithful extended family. My mom barely spoke to us or other family members and we basically grew up without her in our lives. Every time I tried to have a relationship with her, it was toxic , damaging and unhealthy. Now she is in later years and I struggle to want to love and accept this person into my life . hundreds of times in my life I have tried to be her daughter, but because of the estrangement, her lack of mothering, and her evil ways, I cannot feel closeness, love or even any connection whatsoever to her. How does God view this. I struggle with this my entire life. What do I do . does God want me to be continually hurt and abused by this person.? I want to serve God and live by his principles, but how do I do that when I feel no love or connection to a heartless, abusive , evil parent.

May God Bless you and your family

I finally was able to listen in. Thank you for the reminders we all need to hear.

Thank you. I needed to hear this.

Wondering what your thoughts and feelings are about magic in kids movies and cartoons.

So glad that you addressed media in your message. You are so right. May God bless you and your efforts as parents.

Amen..to finding God...😊

Thank you very much for these helpful rules.
I'd be interested to hear a little bit more about how you combine the principle of separation from government (you said you don't put your trust in it) and this Bible verse: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God."
Romans 13:1

Because my husband and I often have arguments about our Ukrainian government, and I'm already starting to think about how to teach my daughter about this topic in the context of biblical principles.

Can you make a list of your favorite shows/movies without nudity? This is becoming increasingly difficult.

What a blessing you are! The love pours out of you even through videos ❤❤❤

What a life to aspire too. Bless you

Thank You so much !!

Trust in the blood of Jesus for salvation.🩸His blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness. It’s only by faith in what Jesus did. Not by works, nothing we do can save us from hell. All it takes is faith, which is trusting and relying on what Jesus did, relying on his blood atonement for your salvation.

The gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV only: “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

Romans 3:25 KJV only: “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”

Matthew 26:28 KJV only: “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV only: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

After you’ve received salvation through trusting in Jesus, you can’t lose salvation, because you are then sealed with the holy Spirit until the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30 KJV only: “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” 🙂

Do you use commentary at all during Bible study? I’m trying to figure out if it’s something that will benefit me at all! God bless!

Great job! This is all great advice. God be with you and bless you!

I'm so glad I found your channel Than you for sharing God bless you 🙏 ❤️

My heart yearns for the simplicity you describe - eschewing the world with its politics, consumerism and cultural chaos. How much peace and grace your family is living in! Bless you for sharing a piece of it with us.

I am an older woman and LOVE listening to and watching your videos. I am SO proud of you and thankful for your life in the Lord. You are setting a wonderful example for other people, not just other young mothers. Your life is built on a firm foundation in Christ and the Word and you are so lovely to share all you do ❤ You are very blessed and a huge blessing to others, of all ages 😍

Dear Kelsey. I am a traditional catholic mom from Germany. I enjoy listen to you while homemaking. ❤

I am so late to the game. I am 33 just discovered God and living in a country where homeschooling is not allowed. My oldest is already 9 and doesn’t understand the change in me, doesn’t want to hear about God or Bible. My younger two are 4 and 1 so I need to take action right away. At least I am SAHM and wife and doing my chores proudly and well to please our heavenly Father 🙏

I really enjoyed this video and it is very helpful. ❤

Thank you for being a living example for the Lord ❤

👏👏👏👏

Thank you so much for this! I really love what you shared and desire to slow down a bit! Im grateful for the inspiration.

It's such a blessing to live on a farm.. ❤ i really enjoy watching your videos.. thank you.

Oh Kelsey I Love your videos….any tips or activities to teach toddlers about Jesus? ❤. This video was SO encouraging thank you❤

I am so glad I found your Channel.🤗 I come away feeling Refreshed!! You and your Husband are doing a GREAT job!! 😊. My Husband and I, do Our Bible Reading every morning and spend time in Prayer. Such a important thing to do as a Couple! 🙏. We have been trying to be cautious of what we allow in Our Home! Especially, with the Entertainment on TV. You Inspire me to Keep going and Growing! Thank you for your Obedience and Encouraging Others! God Bless your Family 💕🙏.

very beautifully stated. We honor most of these too. This is beautiful if both spouses are on the same page, faith wise. This can be a struggle in our home as my husband does not share many of these ideals - often we are in agreement about the "rule", but not the intention behind it. This is why it is so important to make sure you are yoking yourself to a believer.  

knowing what I know now, as an older woman, I would have completely removed tv from my kids' lives. it was never a huge focus in our home, as I was raised in home without a tv-centered mindset. But even the little bit we DID allow them to watch, I would not do again. I would often think they were watching something that was ok, but hear astounding things! this happened a couple of times when going to the movies - I would be taken by surprise by something in CHILDREN'S movie that would make me cringe. We stopped going to the movies all together after zootopia. Another thing i wish I could do is 'less toys'. We didn't buy many, but we seemed to get everyone else' clean outs & birthday parties, I would not do them again either. It fed into a lot of consumerism in our early years that caused discontent.  

WE root ourselves in the seasonal cycle of farm life & weather - "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven" And we take time to visit with our neighbors/friends/family - focusing more on the people that live within arm's reach than those we only see once in awhile or live very far away.
We forbade our kids from having cell phones until they could pay for them (18 for our older daughter & 17 for our younger) and NO tik tok, facebook, instagram, etc....are allowed in the house. And we inspired our kids to cultivate HOBBIES! So many kids these days lack meaningful hobbies like sewing, drawing, writing, reading, hunting/fishing, etc...

Beautiful! Thank you!

Such a great video Kelsey! I definitely agree. ❤️ May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly for His glory. 💜

I love this video! I’ve been trying to let go of secular music. And this is inspiring me to. I need to be careful what I let in my five senses.

Blessings and peace to your family 🙏🏾

Beautiful flower arrangements! Thank you for the reminder to invest more time into reading the Bible with my children and growing our faith. Their eternal life needs to be my top priority 🙏

I am glad you and your husband are taking your responsibility to your children seriously. There's so much smut and garbage in the schools. I am so glad my daughter is out.

I love that your dog tried to help you dress your baby to go out...

Amen! I completely agree, are relationship with God and taking time daily to grow in it is crucial. Thank you for your example and witness. The set apart life is something we are activly cultivating as well. It's so peaceful too. C
