Homemaking in Heaven

Do you ever underestimate how easy it is to get comfortable? We do. As humans, in whatever field we live in (mission or lay), our natural bent is to nestle down with an identity based on our personal situation. As Christians, we are instructed from the Word of God to BUILD our life on the kingdom of God! That life is not based off of a place, location or job in this world. It’s based on a person. Jesus. We pray that this blog further encourages your life with Christ to be what leads your identity in whatever kingdom building we do here on earth.

our HEART

Thanks so much for visiting our blog! We pray that as we seek to use the missional and mundane parts of our life to glorify God, you would also be pressed to use each moment purposefully.

Our desire comes out of two typical lives who have both worked overseas doing missions and also lived the typical American life of working 9-5 and being a stay at home mom. We hope you are pressed to Jesus from both experiences, because both are significant in light of Christ!

This short film was made to capture our heart for Jesus in the midst of our wedding day. May you see Him in the beauty.

When The New Year is Scary

December 31, 2023 by alexemilym

New Years use to be an anticipated event in my book. Every year I would spend the first few minutes past midnight laying it before the Lord and asking Him to lead me in His specific, tailor-made ways for that year. Year after year I have precious memories recorded of past January Firsts, alone before… Read more

I began writing this poem in 2014, but never finished it till recently. When I started it, I was in the middle of studying how the law was needed to lay a foundation for the gospel of grace. It has been an absolute joy to pick up again and complete! I hope you enjoy and… Read more

Touchy subject? Yeah, it might be a hard subject for a number of reasons. You may come to this post having had a controlling background, a distrust of men or leadership roles. You may come from the mentality that modern America would say about women’s rights or how submission is a suppression of women. There… Read more
