What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?
What time do I go to bed and wake up? I wake up when my children wake me up. The time varies each and everyday. I fall asleep after the kids are tucked in and the house is quite. Again, no specific time. Especially summer time, my schedule blurs.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:26 KJV
https://bible-strong.app
Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Korah, a Levite and cousin of Moses, led a notable rebellion in the Israelites’ wilderness journey. As the son of Izhar, Korah was part of the Kohathite clan, which played a crucial role in transporting and caring for the tabernacle (Numbers 4:1-20). Despite his significant heritage and proximity to leadership, Korah felt overlooked and sought greater recognition.
Korah’s rebellion wasn’t just about personal ambition; it was also a challenge to Moses’ authority as leader and Aaron’s role as high priest. He gathered 250 respected Israelites to support his cause, arguing that Moses and Aaron had overstepped their authority (Numbers 16:3). However, Moses discerned the true motives behind Korah’s actions and responded with humility and a call for divine judgment.
The consequences of Korah’s rebellion were severe. When Moses declared that God would judge the legitimacy of Korah’s challenge, the ground miraculously opened and swallowed Korah, his followers, and their families (Numbers 16:31-33). This dramatic event served as a powerful reminder of the importance of respecting God-ordained leadership and the dangers of rebellion against divine authority.
The story of Korah’s rebellion offers valuable lessons about the importance of humility, respect for authority, and the consequences of pride and ambition when they drive individuals to challenge God’s ordained order.
Welcome back to another in-depth Bible study. We are beginning a new book today the book of Deuteronomy. Let’s dive into Father’s word together.
Deuteronomy 1
1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
That wraps up today’s message. Have a great day and God bless!
Oftentimes as mothers we neglect are own wants and needs. Constantly putting everyone else’s before are own. It is hardwired into women to care and nurture their family. In the abundance of blessings and chaos it can be difficult to find a healthy balance. Here is a poem to remind all mothers that’s it’s okay to take a break. Its okay to stop amidst the hustle and bustle and just be. There will always be something that needs to be done. Whether dishes, laundry, cleaning, or one of the other million things mothers take care of, it can wait another day. Go do something fun and make some wholesome memories.
This is for the mother who lost her way
Who feels like she can’t make it another day
The face inside the mirror
Is not familiar as it appears.
The face you see belongs to someone new
Someone that isn’t you.
You reminisce on forgotten times
When life was about the party and rides.
The friends you once held dear
Now nowhere near
As the title of motherhood becomes clear.
You’ve lost yourself along the way
Somewhere in between they need me now and maybe another day.
The steady tick of time, subtle yet profound
If you’re not observant, you wont even know it has a sound.
For one moment it is here, the next it is not
Forever bound within the clock.
Your identity has been lost,
replaced with tummy time and burp cloths.
Obviously to the overall cost.
A part of you is missing, not like before.
Oh, how a part of you longs for more.
You use to be able to go as you please.
Now you move according to the baby’s needs.
Every choice you must make.
now holds a totally different high stakes.
No longer do they just effect you
But now your family too.
Pregnancy wasn’t gentle on your body.
You longer feel like a hottie.
Stretch marks and extra weight.
Hormones and moods fluctuate.
The meat suit you occupy,
no longer feel right inside.
Everything is different, nothing is the same.
There is really, no one to blame.
The days are long and the nights are lonely.
Weeks by without noticing.
The same routine, the same tasks complete.
But most days feel like defeat.
Be strong mamma, you are doing just fine.
Before you know it, this time will pass you by.
Just like a caterpillar morphing to a butterfly.
The same is the journey through a mothers eyes.
All the pieces the same as before,
just moved around and transformed.
Beautiful, renewed and not like before
But every piece of you was needed to transform.
Nothing is missing or lost,
it’s just been relocated to a different spot.
You can find it deep inside,
where it has always reside.
Spread your wings mamma and learn how to fly.
Don’t let this moment pass you by.
Go do something simply because it make you smile.
Indulge in something you haven’t for a while.
You are more than just a mother and wife.
You are your own person, with a life.
Don’t let the days blur into weeks, weeks into years.
Held back by lack of confidence and fears.
Your children are watching, learning who to become.
Deciding to embrace individually or succumb.
Succumb to the ways of society
and how other people tell them to be.
Be strong mamma you’re doing just fine,
in this dispensation of time.
Show your little ones how to be unique
and how the world isn’t for the weak.
Don’t lose yourself in the mess and chaos
Or this amazing opportunity will be at a loss.
An opportunity to teach a tiny human being,
what it means to be free.
The girl that you used to know, is right where she used to be.
A little older, a little wiser, more mature, certainly.
not less than or inadequate, only transformed,
into something more.
Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
Now living life to a different tune.
Your are unique, beautiful and strong
and you had it figured out all along.
Reconnect with your inner self and show her how to live.
Then pass the lessons along to your kids.
A mother who is exhausted and stretched to thin
always struggles to win and make it to the end.
Be tentative to your wants and needs
Done deny yourself of pleasurable things.
Would you want the same for your little one
to go and go until they come undone?
Show them what it’s like to be spontaneous, creative and fun.
Teach them while they are young.
If you don’t teach them, who will?
Who will teach them how to heal?
In a world that focused on go, go, go.
Learn to say no, no, no.
No dishes or laundry for me today,
yet another day the mess can stay.
No cleaning or daily chores,
today is for relaxing and letting life be adored.
Won’t you do that today?
Give yourself a little room to play?
To throw caution to the wind
Today’s the perfect day to begin.
Reconnect with your inner child
Let loose and be a little wild.
For motherhood is just a short season
After that it’s up to us to find a reason.
You spend so many years taking care children and never yourself
Constantly neglecting your own health.
What’s going to happen when the kids are grown?
No longer constantly needs to be shown.
How are you going to handle an empty nest,
when you never learned to rest?
How will you ever give them your all
If you constantly create the perfect storm to fall.
Its okay to stop for a moment
You don’t have to be your own opponent.
Take a moment just to breath
Then carry on with everyone else’s needs.
Be strong mamma, you are doing just fine.
Don’t be so hard on yourself in this difficult time.
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?
What strategies do I use to increase comfort in my daily life? I naturally am a people pleaser and often over extend myself. In order to maintain my sanity and increase comfort I constantly remind myself to say no to people. I have learned through the years to make myself priority. I may not be at the top of the list, but at least I am on it.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23 KJV
https://bible-strong.app
Proverbs 4
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
