Bindi I love your hair , you look so beautiful , God bless you! I’m not a mom yet or a wife but I love to learn from Christian couples for future reference , I’m taking advantage of the time! 🥰
@@sarahparis8235 I know, I live in America, I heard in the 1900s up until mid 1900s they had etiquette and homemaking classes mandatory for women in schools. And of course I’m sure it was based on Bible principles. I took cooking classes in school in the late 2000s but it was one semester. I wish they had it for the kids these days. We could use it for this generation ❤️
@@LtrishaMartina It's actually cruel that this education isn't provided for children/young adults. I was journaling about this last night -- How you'd never put a young woman into a white jacket and send her straight into an operation if she wanted to be a brain surgeon -- She'd go to school first and learn about the job, and in doing so decide if she's really up to it -- But people think nothing of putting a girl in a white dress and sending her into marriage/motherhood with little to zero preparation. I grew up in a pretty abusive family, so maybe there is more education given to some girls, but I definitely have friends who are eager to get married, but it's all based on the idea of having a Disney style romance where someone loves and basically fawns over them all the time forever -- Which honestly isn't even a mature image of what any relationship should be, let alone a marriage with a mature man. It's no wonder there are so many divorces in our country. Makes perfect sense actually. Praying for you on your journey! 💞💞💞
The build-a-bear analogy reminded me about the Mother of Jesus and how she raised him: She didn't mold him based on how she wanted Jesus to be, because at the end of the day she was raising the Son of God. We are called to raise sons and daughters for God, and God will mold them in the way the He wants.
Omg!!! I know this is totally off topic, but I hope your husband isn’t too upset about your hair! I remember watching one of your videos a whiilleeeee back where you talked about him getting frustrated because you would start and stop your locs lol. Your hair is sooooooooo gorgeous! You’re beautiful every way and your content is top tier!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
"Do not weary in doing good" The Lord has been teaching me in this season of life that even when we parent right, it doesnt mean we will get the fruit of that labor from our children outright. Doing what is right in the sight of the Lord is our duty even when our hearts break from wayward children. Loved this episode, it has lifted my spirits ❤️
My roles in my life may change but my identity in Christ stays the same. I wrote this out for myself as I made notes from watching this video. It's really good to think about where I am and what I believe regarding this topic.
I love the TWA! I love your content too! Can never have enough biblical teaching! I am a single mom waiting for the Lord to bring the right man along. Your teaching has been very helpful for me in this current season. Thank you for what you do
I hope you don't mind my unsolicited advice: Instead of waiting for God to bring the right man to you, focus more on building yourself to be the right woman for that man. We're all trying to get it right, and we got this!
I was a single mom for about ten years but then my husband came along. He stepped up to the plate, a plate that's not even his. But now we're about to have a baby girl (he and I have had all boys) together. Good men are still out there. Hang in there and God bless.
Wow- all of this in just the first chapter? I may need to purchase this book! The points about embassodor training and cultural norms have got me thinking deeply. Thanks so much for doing this book club!
God has entrusted me with three boys. They eat from the same pot, but they are different. With our first, I thought I was in control, then the second one came and made me realize how much I needed God. As a first generation born again Christian mom, sometimes I get tempted, trying too hard to be the best mother, but I'm learning to let go of things only God can do, and concentrate on what I can do. As a parent I think I should do what the Word of God tells me to do, but leave the results to God. Some of the seed may not show fruit now, but when they are older. Our children, just like us have a will too. I'm trusting God to help me not to be a stumbling block, or the one to make their hearts hard towards Him. Thanks for sharing and your dedication.
Love this. I’m pregnant with my first and def need some recalibrating in my parental framework from what I know in my family. Just downloaded the audio version!
New season it is . Love your new look I’m in a similar stage. This book needs to be on the coffee tables of so many homes. 😮💨 Considering the relationships we want to have with our adult kids & their kids is so key 👌🏾
This video came at such a right time because I was confused if I was taking it too deep by feeling resentment and alienation from my parents because they are unable to see what they have been doing that would just tear me down instead of build me up. It felt strange to me because in my soul I couldn’t fathom how you would treat people you love that way and I felt childish and felt like I had to suppress because its just was what it was and I couldn’t change who my family is. But it made me resentful, bitter and even more childish 😅and now at 25, I can see it for what it was because I allowed God to come into my life, He has been showing me the lie that I was being fed and it is taking time but slowly I am unlearning and undoing that lie from my identity. But thank you for always standing in the truth and bringing me and others this message so that we may know better and be more introspective and not repeat the pattern and be able to see our children’s children grow by the grace of God 🥰
You can't change your parents, but God can. Take it all up to Him in prayer and pray that He will give you peace and joy. He may tap you to be the one to lead the charge to change. Or He may go through some other means. Either way, trust that He can do great things because He is omnipotent and perfectly gracious. I had the same frustrations and I'm amazed that prayers from years ago are yielding fruit now in abundance.
@dahliaherrod4301 Wow, thats beautiful to know that prayers from year's ago can still be answered. 🙏🏾 Young lady, I pray restoration and healing come for your relationship with the parents in Jesus name. 💖
From what you’ve described it sounds like your parents, or at least one of them, were narcissistic. My mother is a narcissist and I was the golden child/empath “the fixer” role in the family. My younger sister was the scapegoat unfortunately, she took a lot of the emotional and psychological beatings her whole life from our mother. I was 32, a mother and wife when I finally found out what a narcissist even was but it has changed so much for me. Father God showed it to me and my sister and have been able to finally begin the healing process. I’m happy to hear that you have been trying to unlearn what your parents made you think about yourself bc it hurts so much. Us children and victims of narcissistic parents have to stay close with our Lord and be willing to learn how to be better parents to our own children. The cycle must end with us🤍
I thank God for your presence in my life Bindi! As a mother of two girls myself, your videos first and foremost remind me to recommit myself to to the Word of God, from which all good things come.
My book just came in today. I slowly read through the intro actually feeling a little skeptical. My thoughts included of course they're my kids; God entrusted them to me. As I continued reading I saw how liberating it is to have the role of ambassador. It is the attitude of trusting God to bless your best efforts. I know I have personally felt so burdened with being a mom. I need to cast my cares upon Him. I need His easy yoke. He leads me and I will follow. Please pray for me and my family.
Bindi, i have missed you - So glad to have you back in this space, sharing your wisdom and insight in a way that makes this journey feel more clear and attainable
Well this new glow of Joyce, looks like YAH had her go through a isolation and sanctification period. May The Most High YAH be glorified through you daughter of zion! Can't wait for the nuggets in this video!
You are a beautiful woman (inside and out) for as much as I have witnessed on RU-vid. Your hair is only an accessory. Ahh I have a feeling this video is going to be fire 🔥
Bindi you are such a treasure. You have a God given gift for wisdom and counsel. You videos really help guide me in marriage and parenting. Thank you. Btw, I love the hair❤
Another great drop of wisdom 👏🏾 i love the framework mentioned. Something similar that i heard and took note of a while back is parents being the shepherds and not the creator. We love, protect and guide but we can't make that sheep any other creation than what God created it to be. Only God and our Lord Jesus have such authority.
*I'm very intrigued by this book. I will buy it and read along with you.* I just completed a different Christian parenting book by Jefferson Bethke called _Take Back Your Family,_ its about being a multi-generational family team on mission. I bring that up because it reminds me so much of what you're talking about in _Single Thread in A Tapestry_ chapter of this video. That book uses the story of Abraham to illustrate *lineage creation* and how to view our family as God designed family in strong contrast to modern Western cultural views of family. I was thinking of you and @Offthebeatenpath. It would be cool if either of you two ladies could review that book also. Have a lovely day, and welcome back. 🙏🏾 ❤
I have Grace because I had my physical needs met but emotional , social, educational support needs not met, so now that I have two children with the best knowledge I had which was none, I am taking care of two children with no place to pull from to the place, I enrolled in parenting classes and I watch this kind of content for help but i really like a concrete method to follow, so I know that I did ( statistically ) the best. It’s very hard to do if you don’t know what your doing lol 😅
As a mom of two adult children who were homeschooled, I find this conversation very interesting! Looking forward to jumping into the discussion with you on this book.
It is not a coincidence that Joseph was taken away from His father Jacob. When he showed favouritism towards Joseph, he started to sow seeds of discord, strife, anger and bitterness in the other siblings and God subsequently took Joseph away. When we are irresponsible in our parenting, we run the risk of losing our children, whether physically, emotionally or otherwise. May God truly help us to remember that our children do not belong to us, they belong to Him and must be raised HIS WAY.
Thank you so much for your obedience🤍. Thank you for sharing the wisdom God has given you to share. 🌬️A breath of FRESH AIR! May God continue to bless you and your ministry abundantly.🙏🏾🤍
bindi can you please make a podcast or have your videos in recordings so i can listen to you. i can’t watch everything but i can listen and when you close youtube it closes the audio.
Thank you for this video! I have read this book a while back and it just didn’t click the way it is when you broke it down. I have been miserable searching for my identit in the wrong place.
I loved this video Bindi! You help me shape my God-given roles as I did not have the best maternal role-models. Btw, I love your hair! It highlights your feminine features (:
Thanks for this. I pray this teaching for women is brought into churches here in uk especially accountability to make sure we serve the lord without distraction. Thanks for this video.
Completely agree with the ending! I would rather work hard, do everything I can and if my child turned out completely different then so be it however I believe it’s 1%. Look at the prodigal son, he made a mistake and learnt his lesson and returned home. The picture of parents and children is the same way our relationship with our Father in Heaven. That’s why it says in proverbs teach your child they way you want them to go and they will never turn from it. Parenting is one of the hardest job I’ve could have ever been assigned knowing these facts that are biblical principles, parents are responsible in the work they are done especially when they are young x
This was really, thank you Bindi for putting your thoughts in these subjects for us to listen to. My nephew just moved in with me last week and I dont have any children of my own so this is something new for me
I will say this although i agree witb you we arent owners of our kids and gealthily they will strike out on their own two feet i really appreciated stormie o martian telling women that just because kids leave or reach legal independence at 18 plus it DOES NOT mean we go and think we no longer need to pray for them like as if that job plus everything else we dis is complete snd done.
I somewhat agree but doesn’t it say in proverbs to grow the child to the way you want them to go and they will never turn from them. We are called to steward them however there’s a time you have to let go as you become more of their guidance instead of leading them. When children are younger they are very easily influenced, easy to mold, it were all habits and character is developed. Studying what the Lord says about children, really helped me to understand the importance of the way we grow and mold our children onto the Lord. We can see today the opposite when children are left to their own divides and how they turn out. We our accountable for our children, just look at what Jesus had to say in Matthew about the same children xx
Wow the first 10 minutes have almost brought me to tears because I’m a SAHM I have 2 sons and currently 7 months pregnant with my babygirl, struggling to keep that perspective. I’ve just been so overwhelmed and frustrated. So thank you!!!!! Very timely for me. God bless you sister in Christ🤍
@@Kra-ri6fd same! I feel so much pressure just thinking of my daughter looking up to me. I also have to remember I literally prayed for this and I trust that He is preparing me and will guide me through it.
@@lonnieslane I prayed for a girl too. I don't think I was ready for a girl before and prayed for boys then. Now, I think I'm ready....I hope so at least lol. But I'm praying He guide me too while studying the best I can on being a Godly wife and homemaker.
