Why can’t we stop talking?
“But, God, I can’t see how we can manage financially!”
“But, God, I can’t cope with everything I have to do!”
“But, God, why do we have to continue going through this trial? It’s been too long.”
We keep on complaining and confessing our lack of trust in God. When the children of Israel faced the impossible—the sea in front of them and the Egyptians galloping behind them to wipe them out, God said: “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord . . . The Lord shall fight for you and ye shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:13-14).
In other words, God told them to keep their mouths shut! When we can’t see a way out, or we can’t think of anything positive to say, the best thing is to say nothing! Your negative words bind you to your situation.
Shut your mouth and see what God will do.

How did people know who were Christians in the early church? They were known as the people who called upon the name of the Lord.
You are not only mothering for today. You are building a godly dynasty that will impact generations to come and eternity. You have the most influential career in the nation! Be encouraged. 
We influence our children by our example more than any other way.
As I honestly seek to answer these questions, would you like to also?
"I wish I had a life!" I sometimes hear mothers making this statement.
We talked yesterday how God sees the mothering and home managing works we do in our home as GOOD THINGS. But He also tells us how to do them. God doesn’t leave us in the dark about anything!
This quote is both true and false. We do not train our children to think they can do whatever they want to do, because many choices can be selfish or unbiblical choice that would ruin their lives. However, we encourage them to dream and think outside the box and that God can enable them by the power and leading of His Spirit to do things that no one has ever done before. Things that will bless others and advance the kingdom of God in earth. 
What are the older women to teach the younger women? Titus 2:3 says that they are to "be teachers of GOOD THINGS.”
What are you teaching your children? It's easy to get into the mode of packing information into your children's brains, the more the better! But "information" is not education. "Right thinking" is education. Unless your children know how to think correctly, information won't do them a lot of good.
Most Christian organizations have a Mission Statement. Yes, we do have one for Above Rubies and I am happy to send it to you if you are interested.
Before the world began she was in God’s mind,
Did you know that God has a resting place for you? Our 21st century lives are so frantically busy that often we live in a state of turmoil instead of a state of rest. God says in Jeremiah 50:6: “My people . . . have forgotten their resting place.”
"There never has been a generation whose view of marriage is high enough."
As women we have the privilege of showing to the world what God’s maternal heart is like. By the way we embrace our mothering anointing we reveal or dampen the image of God. Dear mother, you are the manifestation of God’s motherly heart in this world. 
Do you feel as though you are overworked and underpaid? Sometimes you can feel like this as a mother. But don’t despair, you will receive your pay.
I love this picture Evangeline painted for her wall of her and Howard and their ten children. They were at the ocean, all praising God together. The children now now range from 25 - 8 years. They had longed for more, but no more came. Although at nearly 53 years she still keeps believing! And chides me if I don’t keep believing with her! Fertility is a very special gift from God. We should always be open to God for His gifts in the time of our visitation. We never know how long it will last. 
Have you got on to the new podcast yet? At last I am doing a podcast for you. It’s called FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS. Each week I share with you treasures from God’s Word that will encourage you in your high calling of being a wife and mother. From time to time I will introduce you to members of our family and other special guests.
The message of the cross is not a popular message, is it? When we are faced with the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God on the cross, it challenges us to give up our own lives. The great missionary, C. T. Studd wrote: “If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.”
Vicki Goldby, an Above Rubies mother in England posted this in response to my post below, WHAT’S THE PREDOMINANT THEME IN YOUR HOME? I have met Vicki and her lovely family on many occasions when ministering in England. I can’t count how many Above Rubies retreats she has attended. I loved what she wrote and want to share it with you here:
