Do you feel lonely, out of sorts, full of fears, or down in the dumps? You don't have to stay in this state! Did you know there is a sanctuary where you can run? It is God Himself! He is your refuge and hiding place, and He waits for you to run to Him. As you run into His heart, you will find safety, comfort, help, and deliverance!
Ezekiel 11:16 says: "Although I have cast them far off among the heathen . . . yet will I be to them as a little SANCTUARY." No matter what your situation, God is always our SANCTUARY (which is the same word that is used for the tabernacle and the temple where God dwelt in all His Shekinah glory)!
Don't stay in your depressed state one minute longer! Run into God! Hurry!

Your home is a haven providing protection,
What is God's plan for our lives? To present us unblameable and unreprovable in His sight at the coming of the Lord Jesus (I Corinthians 1:8; Colossians 1:21-23; and I Thessalonians 3:13). To conform us to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29 and 2 Corinthians 3:18).
As God’s representative in your home and in the world, He wants you to be tasty and flavorful salt. Never BLAND! Bland salt is good for nothing except to be thrown out. God vomits Luke-warm believers out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16). Let’s embrace the extravagant life of Christ Jesus who lives within us. Never bland. Never mediocre. Never status quo. Never ordinary. Never boring. Instead OVERFLOWING with love, joy, patience, and generosity. 
The victorious life is the crucified life. Anger, bitterness, jealousy, self-pity and other fleshly sins no longer rise up in our lives if we have nailed them to the cross. This is how you live in victory in your home. Read also Galatians 2:20; Romans 8:13; and Colossians 3:12, 13. 
“Heaven on earth.” Is it possible? Jesus told us to pray: "As in heaven, so in earth" (Luke 11:2). That’s a huge prayer, isn’t it? But it’s what He asked us to do.
I was amazed to read about some of the sons of Israel. I Chronicles 12:14-15 (NASB) says: “The sons of Gad were captains of the army; he who was least was equal to a hundred and the greatest to a thousand. These are the ones, who crossed the Jordan . . . when it was overflowing all its banks and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.”
A word of encouragement does wonders. Loving words break down barriers. Sweet words break the hardest bone. Saying sorry heals wounds. 
You’re pregnant? But you are scared to tell your parents or parents-in-law! You know you’ll get a negative reaction (or maybe even a violent reaction)! Can I encourage you that you only have to get through the next few months. When your precious baby is born, their hearts will change. No one can resist a baby!
When you get up get dressed ready for another day in your great career of mothering. You will accomplish your great work far better when dressed appropriately! Don’t hang around in pajamas or bathrobe! You are in the service of the King of kings. 
I have been thinking more about the Scripture I posted below. God is a jealous God. He commands: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). He wants our undivided loyalty. Look at this example of those who went after other gods (Deuteronomy 13:13-18).
God does not accept divided loyalties. In the same chapter He says that if we are a friend of the world we are an enemy if God. The big question: Are we God’s friend or His enemy? 
Do you read God's Word and not get anything out of it? Do you hear preaching and yet not get anything? We must do more than read and listen. We must RECEIVE! James 1:21 says: “RECEIVE with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls."
You would think it would be a holy task to be a priest, wouldn't you? Would you like to know some of their holy tasks? They had to take charge of the utensils, counting them when they were brought in and out . . . look after the furniture in the Holy Place . . . . oversee the flour, wine and oil. . . mix the spices . . . bake bread every week . . . and take responsibility over the things baked in pans" (1 Chronicles 9:28-32).
Every conception is a visitation from God. It is a miracle. God calls conception, pregnancy, and birth the “glory” of the nation. Let’s embrace God’s beautiful plan. 
At the end of each creating day, God stated, "It is good!" Wouldn't it be great to say at the end of your day, "It’s been a good day"? Maybe you don't always think your days are good days! You feel overwhelmed and wonder what you are accomplishing. Dear mother, God's Word tells you that "loving your husband, loving your children, and keeping the home, etc." are “GOOD” things
We accomplish so much more when we have purpose, don’t we? Are you mothering with purpose? Here is a Mission Statement for you as a wife and mother. You may like to print it our and pin it up in your kitchen as a daily reminder.
That means revealing Jesus in my home—in all my actions and reactions, to my husband and to my children. And not just when everything is peaceful, but even when it is chaotic. Challenging, isn’t it? #abidinginchrist #christinme #christinyouthehoopeofglory #jesusinmyhome #motherhood #ilovemotherhood #ilovescripture #aboverubies #nancycampbell
Never waver. Never compromise. Never give up. Never luke-warm. Never mediocre. Never average. Never middle-of-the-road. God wants us to be HOT for Him. Rev 3:16 says: “Because thou art like-warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” 
To be passionate is to feel strongly about something, to be willing to sacrifice to accomplish it. It is purposeful mothering. It is knowing you have been commissioned by God for this high calling. Therefore, you don’t allow too many other things and diversions crowd out your divine calling. Know your purpose and you fulfill it.
