Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
We love a good taco at our house, and in recent years, we’ve come to especially love shrimp tacos. I’ve shared posts here about trying to replicate restaurant’s recipes where we’ve eaten.
I have just kept making little changes to improve my recipe. Last week I think I finally landed on our absolute favorite way to eat this fishy taco! The blessing is that it’s still very simple and also super fast! I’m excited to share the recipe with you!

She remembers the day when she could get up, pour coffee, grab her Bible and head out to some comfy, solitary place to read, journal and pray. Now this busy mom’s alarm clock is a baby, a toddler and her school-aged children. Their faces, their needs, their cries all come first. There’s only apple juice, baby bottles, Cheerios and burned toast first thing after getting up. Oh, the coffee is made, but has been sitting on the burner for far too long. Her time in God’s Word is a desire in her heart, but how will it happen when there are so many other demands on a young mom’s plate? What is a young mom to do to grow spiritually?
Your demands as a woman might be different, but you’re busier than you’ve ever been, and find it difficult to cultivate time in God’s Word that is meaty and meaningful. What is a busy woman to do to grow spiritually?
I believe there are several practical ways for every woman to spend time in God’s Word when life is busy.
As your life slows down, begin to add in more and more of the kind of Quiet time that will really nurture your heart. These strategies are for a season, but not forever. Eventually you’ll be able to be back in a regular routine of study, journaling and prayer, but in the meantime, you can still be fruitful and growing!
Don’t allow the busy times to make you stagnant. This (busyness), too, shall pass – but you’ll never recapture what you could have gleaned if you don’t grab the spiritual nuggets when you can!
Are you a busy woman like I described? Which of these tools will you try?
With love,

Isn’t it a comfort to know that God cares about what happens in our houses? He created the family, and He has a plan for how we care for this ministry! Listen to what He specifically says about the home in the Titus 2 passage…
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home,
I love how the KJV translates it; as “keepers at home.” This is a woman who is devoted to her home, who has a heart for it. She’s actively engaged and makes it a high priority in her life.
But all too often, home is a place where we come in to get ready to go out to the next event.

I was anxious to try my hand at making at home!
As it turns out, they were very easy to make and we loved them!

We use locks, safes, fences, banks, and fresh, new passwords to keep our valuables secure. But what do we do to keep our purity secure? Have we given it as much thought? Do we set up protective measures so that it won’t be stolen?
