This is The Homemaking Foundation's podcast with Jamie Belmay, episode number 195.

Welcome to the Homemaking Foundation's podcast, where we give you the tools, inspiration, and

encouragement you need to craft a gospel-centered home.

And now your host from youngwifesguide.com, Jamie Belmay.

Hey, guys, welcome back to the next episode. I am your host, Jamie Balmay. And I'm

really glad you're here today. We are going to be talking about where do you turn when life

gets tough or what do you do when life gets a little overwhelming? I originally did this talk about two weeks ago for a baby shower for a friend at church.

And don't worry, you don't have to be a mom to listen in.

This is going to apply to everybody.

But this baby shower was for a friend who has two kids and is pregnant with a set of twin boys.

In fact, last I heard, she was at the hospital

this morning giving birth, which is really exciting. So I haven't heard an update yet on that.

But she has, like I said, two little kids and a set of twins. And the reason that, one of the

reasons why I did the devotion for her baby shower was because I have been literally in her shoes. I had two sets of twins. And so I had my first set and then I had my second set. So when I had my second set, of course, I had two little kids at home, my first set of twins. And my first set were a little bit younger than her kids,

but like very, very similar. And I think her kids are three years old and four years old.

And here she's got a set of twin boys do. And so I just was thinking through her shoes.

She was, when I did the devotional, she was getting really big in a lot of pain and just facing some

hard days ahead because it's hard to have a set of twins. There's a huge amount of blessing in it,

but it can be hard as well. And so I was really thinking back to what is the encouragement that I

needed in that season and what is the encouragement that I need right now. And so I kind of did this

devotional for her based off of First Thessalonians 5, 16 through 18, which is what I am going to do

for you guys today. We're going to kind of go through that. And I'm going to tailor it to everybody
