Growing in our relationship with Jesus is an on going process. It's something we do daily. And we have to want God in our lives. And desire and seek after Him with all our being. Our relationship with God does not grow without us doing our part. Seeking Him first. Making Him Lord of our life. Setting aside time to get in His word to read and study, memorize scripture, etc... And establishing a consistent and daily prayer life. Making prayer a top priority in our lives. We have to be purposeful about guarding our hearts and minds making time and space for God in our lives to be fits place.

A shout out to my faithful subscribers! I can come share an evening of hope & encouragement5/25/2021 Hey there to my faithful ones that are not only subscribed to my channel, but that actually watch my videos!!😁 This is for you! And I'm asking you a favor. Would you like to get some friends, or neighbor ladies, or ladies in your community together for a wonderful evening of good ol hope and encouragement, and have me come speak? I'm all fired up and excited to give hope to those going through difficult things or seasons in life. I know it's hard, and that we all need encouragement from time to time, and I know my God is healer if broken hearts and broken lives. And I want to share that hope that only God can give us with your group. So plan an evening or maybe a morning (what ever works best), set the date, keep it simple, grab some refreshments, get your gals together, let me know I'll be there. If your not in my area right now, just let me know you would be interested in having me in the future and when we are heading your neck of the woods I'll let you know. Thanks so much for subscribing to my channel. For faithful hanging in there and following along with me in my journey here on my channel, and in life!! I look forward to hearing from you soon!! Mae Renfroe maerenfroe@yahoo.ca This is a repost from early spring 2019 when I first did these videos. Recently I had been thinking of these 2 videos and how I wanted to turn them into a written blog post as well as a message I could use for speaking purposes. I decided to share them again here on my blog for whoever may not have seen them when they were first posted. This was in my early video making so the quality may not be as good, but the message is still great!! So may you enjoy, and I do hope you would pass them to someone who could be blessed by these. Welcome to parts one and two to living a joy-filled life! How can you live joy-filled life when things are not always going smooth? If you your faced with great disappointments in life, or have gone through tragedies and your life as been changed forever? Or when things are not going your way, when things don't happen the way you wanted, when you wanted and how you wanted? In part one I cover the first 3 steps that I put together on living a joy-filled life. Learning to give thanks in all things, rejoicing constantly, and continuously forgiving. In part 2 I cover the last 3 of the six steps to living a joy filled life: Dieing to self, Seeking first the Kingdom of God, and Trusting God. For helpful grief resources, and to find me on my blog or website please visit Mae Renfroe Welcome to part two of remaining faithful till the end. I In this one I continue reading in Mathew 24. From verses 21 - 31. I encourage you to read the full chapter. In this chapter Jesus speaks up the tribulation, turmoil, and persecution that will take place before His coming. A common teaching out there says we will be raptured before the time of great tribulation. But here in Matthew 24 it tells bus we will go through much tribulation in the end times before He comes in a great cloud and with the sound of a very loud trumpet in which everyone will see Him. I did this video to help us be aware of what Jesus said will take place and what we can expect in the end which is getting closer and closer by the day. When we are aware of what is to take place we will not be taken off guard when these things start coming to past and we can be built up and we'll established in the faith and ready to stand strong. I want to encourage you to remain faithful, do the work the Lord has for us in these last times, and to trust and rest in the one who gives us peace. We have nothing to fear when we are secure in Christ. True love cast out fear. And it says, He didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Take heart, and be of courage God is with you until the end. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Mae Renfroe Hey there and welcome to this week's video. In this one I talk about stuff about the end times that's been on my mind and heart and what Jesus said about it in Mathew 24. I read some of Mathew 24 in this video, but I encourage you to read it all. this is not a deep study or end times prophecy at all. But just covering some things that are suppose to happen in the end before Jesus returns to take His people Home. What we are to expect, and what to look for. I encourage us to remain faithful amd strong. To be an encouragement and support to others, and get encouragement and support from fellow Christians. And to do the work God has for us until He does come. And keeping in mind our end and the end of many may be sooner than the end when He comes. So we need to be making the most of our days and times and reach out to others with the Hope and Love of Christ as we still can. This is not a time to sit idle. not a time to worry or fret at the news, but to get in Jesus Word and see what He says about His coming and what we are to be doing until the end. Stand Strong. Memorize scripture. Spread the Hope! Mae Renfroe www.maerenfroe.com Welcome to part 2 of Getting our fulfillment and spiritual food from God, Not the Church. In Jesus and with Jesus abiding in our hearts and lives, we can and always should feel spiritually full and alive. If we feel spiritual dead it's not the churches fault. we need to check ourselves, do a heart check. Are we still connected? How often do we think about God? How often do read His Word? How often do we Pray? Memorize scripture? Spiritual feeding happens on a daily basis right in our homes. We have a loving Heavenly Father who wants to come meet and dwell with us right in our homes on a daily, hourly, and minute basis. We are always in the presence of the Lord. We can each come before Him individually, and know Him personally. Not through a priest or prophet as in old times. But through a one on one conection with God. To connect with me or for more great resources please visit my website and blog. In Him, Mae I did this video to talk address something that I feel is very important and lacking. |

Hey Everyone!
Here is my message I gave in the park in our community this weekend.
May this Word encourage and inspire you to go deeper in your walk with God so you can experience all that He has for you. So you can live a full live here on earth for God and have the hope of heaven one day when He returns to take His people Home.
This world is not our true home, this earth will pass away, we are just passing through. And if we don't have God in our lives now we won't have God or the hope of heaven later. If it's not God we want now, It's not God we will have later.
So may you be inspired and empowered in your walk with God.
And may you in turn be a light to others so they too may have this same hope in Jesus. We can't keep it to ourselves.
In Him, Mae
P.S. If you would like me to share this same message in your church or community, like a park such as this one, or a community hall, just let me know. I would love to come share. Please see my speaking page or use the contact box.
I'm also very eager to have opportunities to share my complete story of loss and a message hope and encouragement I have put together to encourage those going through hard things or difficult season in life.

Hey there, just did this video to share my heart and passion for my ministry and what it is I feel God has placed on my heart and called me to along with my role as wife and mother.
My ministry outside the home is just an overflowing of my ministry inside the home.
Yes, mothers, we are in the ministry right in our homes too, as we mother and nurture these little ones and big ones. As we home-school or don't, or as we are cooking and cleaning, and training and diapering, etc.... It's ministry for sure.
So what i share in this video is the overflow of what I do here in the home. I have a heart to draw other women like you closer to the heart of God to walk with Him daily, and so that you too can impart Him to your children. And have that heart to heart relationship with God and have your lives and homes flourishing with the things of God.
May you enjoy this video. May it encourage you.
And if I can be a help to you or offer you any other resources that will inspire in your walk with God and in your mothering please connect with me.

Hey there busy mothers!
Do you get discouraged once in awhile? Overwhelmed at times from trying to keep up with homeschooling and everything else? Like there is no end to the tasks in front of you?
Your not alone! We all have these days from time to time.
It's called reality and motherhood!!
The inspiration for doing this video came from one of my down days. And you can tell the first part of the video was done when i just wasn't feeling all into it. The last part was done the next day with renewed energy and fresh inspiration.
So may this be a help to you in your down and overwhelmed days. Knowing that there is better days ahead. And that we have our Heavenly father watching over us and singing over us. And is fighting for us. And gives us the strength and wisdom for parenting if we just ask.
For His yoke is easy and His burden Light. He will give you rest and peace,
In Him, Mae

How do we become more Kingdom focused and less on less on the things of this world? - video post
2/14/2021
Let's talk about how we can be more kingdom-focused and less focused on the things of this world.
I read the verses below and talk about how we can lives these out more. It's so easy to get caught up in the everyday things and the things that seem normal in our society and in raising a family. But is this really living out God's complete will and desire for His people? Does He expect more out of us?
So how to we live differently than the world with more time and energy to do the things that God really wants us to be doing with our time here on earth.
In Him, Mae

Hebrews 13:14
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Galatians 2:19-21 19
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live untoo GOD0. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me,and gave himself for me.
Mathew 6: 25- 34
Terefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Mathew 6:25-34

I'm so excited to share with you the new ventures we are getting into. And about my powerful message about the powerful Word of God I'm going to be giving really soon at a local city park.
Can't wait to see what God will do through me with the message He has given me!!! There is great power in the Word!! But are we willing to let it change us? Are we ready to be set free from addictions and the things that want to hold us down and keep us back from everything God has for us? Are you longing for more and peace in your life?
Hear all about it in this episode of my podcast!!

Continuing in our closer walk with Jesus series I talk more about what it really means to follow Jesus.
And that how, even though we say we are following Jesus, if we are not careful we can end up allowing other voices in our lives to have the greatest say.
So in reality we actually are following others instead of God, and God alone. He has to be the loudest voice in our lives. We can't be allowing what other people say or think to dictate what we do when it goes against what God has placed on our hearts to do.
I talk about my upcoming gospel meeting in the park and about my anticipation of what God is going to do there! The word of God is powerful. The word never changes, yet it changes everything! it's life-giving, life-transforming, and brings hope and healing.
If you haven't already I recommend you watching my first 2 videos in this series, A Closer walk with Jesus. as well as the video, Putting off the Old Man, it is along the same lines.
