Hey there, I have done a video out of my regular series to bring you something that has been on my heart and mind that i just had to share. So here it is and may you be blessed ,encouraged ,and inspired to get off the couch and see what great adventures God has waiting just for you! It's time to revolutionize your life! I believe it's time we Christians stop seeking our own entertainment and start living the adventurous, fulfilling, productive, and never boring life that God wants us to live. It's only one life we have to live for God, so let's do with all our might, with all our hearts, with all our passion, with all our energy, with all our being, and with everything we got. Life is simply too short to do other wise. Our days and times are far to precious and few. Let's stop filling ourselves with entertainment and let's start living an adventurous, productive, and an abundantly-full and rewarding life for God. And let's go after the things of God like there is no tomorrow. Because one day there won't be. Mae Renfroe Hey there and welcome to another garden video! In this video I talk about freezing peas with out blanching. And I introduce my video series Is it God you really Want or Just Heaven? Watch for more garden videos to come as the garden keeps growing and as I continue to pick and preserve vegies and berries. I will keep doing garden videos until is all done and harvested! Mae #5 Hope from the Cemetery video - Giving thanks when we are going through storms and trials in life7/26/2020 Hey there, I'm so glad you stopped by! And Welcome to another video from my Hope From the Cemetery series. This week I talk about finding things to be thankful for in the midst of life's storms and struggles, and how powerful giving thanks can be. ( see more description below the video ) In this video, I read some scripture about how God has instructed us to give thanks in everything. And just how powerful and healing that can be when we are going through tragedies.
We have to take our focus off our problems and put our focus on our heavenly Father and in His goodness and faithfulness. And in doing so we will be at perfect peace. And we will have joy and true happiness that is not based on our circumstances. We have to look more on what we still have and not what we have lost due to our tragedies. The amazing young lady and her family I referred to in the video is the Jen Barrick family. Their ministry is called Hope out Loud. https://hopeoutloud.com/ The Barrick Family have been such an inspiration to me since our loss. I love their testimony and story that has come from the terrible accident. Beautiful to see what God can do with a life that is surrendered to Him. You can view their story here. http://hopeoutloud.com/our-story/ Please feel free to connect here with me on my blog. In Him, Mae
Be that mom podcast -praying about everything, and knowing how to pray confidently and boldly7/12/2020
Welcome to the 4th in the series of my summer 2020 garden videos. In this one I talk about our peas setting on, show how everything is growing so good and fast. And I talk about the root worm problem that's attacking and killing my cabbage plants. it's really annoying how they attack the roots like that and have the plant ruined before I even suspect a thing . For my spiritual part of my garden videos I talk about how Satan comes to seek, kill, and destroy. He uses all kinds of sneaky tactics like that to attack us, and if possible to tear down our very root system that's in Jesus. So be aware of your enemy and stay in the Word and in prayer. And God will keep you strong! In Him, Mae
Welcome to my # 3rd in the Hope from the Cemetery with Mae, summer 2020 series. In this one I talk about the story of Joseph in the Bible and how, despite the fact, that many things were going against him for so long, it was all part of the plan and purpose that God had on his life. it's a beautiful story. And I believe God is using our tragedies in the same way. He is working out something beautiful. Just keep trusting, keep praying, keep praising, and keep believing. He is working it out!! In Him, mae
Hey there, Here is 2 more videos from my garden! See what's growing and whats not. See how we found the corn midst all the weeds. What we are thankful for. And more!! Stayed tuned for future garden videos. Mae
Welcome to my second video of the Hope From Cemetery series! In my last video I mentioned that when we are rooted and grounded in Jesus that we can stand strong when hard things come our way in life. In this video I talk about when life gives you more than you can stand kneel. But i'm not saying that only when life is hard is when we hit our knees. No, we need to be leading prayerful lives all the time. Praying without ceasing as Thessalonians 5 says. But sometimes in this broken world we live in life gives us things that really rock our world. And it can makes go before our Father more than ever. And that's good. Kneel before the one who is holding you. Kneel before the one that is holding your today and holding your tomorrow. Kneel before the one who said He would never leave you nor forsake you. He is waiting for you with open arms! May you be blessed and encouraged with this video. Stay tuned for more and please share with anyone that would be blessed too. In Him, Mae Hope & scripture down in the grave yard- 1st Hope from the Cemetery video series summer 20206/18/2020 Welcome to the first of my Hope From the Cemetery video summer 2020 series. ( YouTube video below ) I'm so excited about doing this series! And I hope you are as excited as I am! I look forward to you joining me as we journey together through this series this summer. We will be getting into scripture and getting to know & understand more fully the heart of God. And grow closer & have an intimate relationship with the One who sustains and carries through and is with us in our every storm. He said He would never leave us nor forsake us. He is with us and for us no matter what comes our way, whether it be loss or some other sorrow and suffering. God is right there too in the middle of it. And He has a plan & a purpose to put to use what you have gone through. There is hope. And there is a better tomorrow. Here on my website and blog you can find lost more resources for support and encouragement in loss. In Him, Mae
Are you a busy mother and feel like you have more than you can keep up? You're not alone. As a homeschooling mother of nine I'm right there with you.
But here is some good news, relax. You don't have to do it all. Sometimes the best thing we can do as mothers is simply let some things go. Just don't do it. When we try to always keep a perfectly weeded garden, perfectly clean house, the laundry always caught up, and amazing meals on the table we run our selves ragged. We got to learn the art of just leaving stuff for another day and focus on what is more important at the moment which might just be sitting down and reading books with our children. Too often we moms we try to do more than God ever intended us to do. I hope & pray this has been a blessing and encouraging to you as you mother your children and keep a busy household. In Him, Mae Be sure and stayed tuned for more great future weekly podcast & YouTube videos.

Hey there and welcome to this week's video! ( Well there will be 2 videos I'm sharing this week because I did the video last week but didn't share it here. ) In this video I'm talking about forgiveness -- God's forgiveness to us and our forgiveness to others. Forgiveness is vital in our walk and relationship with God, and for salvation. God says He will not forgive us our sins if we don't forgive others there trespasses against us. I give 2 perfect examples of forgiveness in the Bible as well as the amazing story of forgiveness of Corrie ten Boon. May you be blessed and encouraged as you realized what exactly it is Christ did for you and I on the cross and the great depth of love that that required. And may you and I forgive like He did no matter how hard it may be. In Him, Mae ( P.S. as always I love hearing from you! ) Here is the link to the article where I read the story of Corrie ten Boon.
Guideposts Classics: Corrie ten Boom on ForgivenessIn this story from November 1972, the author of The Hiding Place recalls forgiving a guard at the concentration camp where her sister died. https://www.guideposts.org/better-living/positive-living/guideposts-classics-corrie-ten-boom-on-forgiveness Welcome to part 4 of, Is it God you want or just Heaven? Do you really Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind? And have you made Him the Lord of your Life? Or do you want to be the one in control? Have you gave him your whole being or just a part of you? I know this is an area that many of us may struggle with. So you are not alone. But I want you to know that He wants all of you. God loves you with a crazy passionate love. He wants to come dwell and make His abode in you. And it is really is all or none. Either your all in or your not in at all. So please ask yourself this question and analyze your life if it's God you really want or just heaven. And then make those changes you need to make as you fully surrender your will for His and make Him the Lord of your life. You will not regret it - in both this life and and the in the next- I promise! In Him, Mae Please contact me with any questions or if you need some encouragement right now in the season you are in. That's what I'm here for. Don't miss parts 1, 2, & 3 of this message.
Being thankful will cure resentfulness - even when things are not just as we would like Do you find your self being just a bit resentful about now due to everything going on with this social distancing stuff? Do you wish life would get back to normal already? I know I do. In this video, I talk about how being thankful in all things as God has instructed us to be is the cure to helping us not be resentful of changes in our lives right now due to COVID-19. I also talk about making the most of our time and finding new, creative and productive things to do with our extra time if we have any spare time. Our time is a gift from God. So we need to be good stewards of it. In Him, Mae p.s. Here is the link to my children's new YouTube show on the subject of faith. https://youtu.be/PmZW6vMGRAo I have exciting news for you! It's something for your children, and well, for you too!
OK here is the big news! My children started a show on you tube titled "My Sister Named Faith" you can find it on you-tube at: www.youtube.com/channel/UCHW76AQMjCK2dqh2Me50v6Q. Here below is their first episode! If you like it, stay tuned for more, and we would love it if you shared it with friends and family too. Mae Renfroe How does one find hope and have peace when the your life is shattered by the tragic and sudden loss of a child? Only with God can we go on in peace. This is our family's personal story of loss and the hope we have had in Christ through it all and how I know you can too whatever your story or storm in life may be. I have done previous videos on our story of loss, but this one is different that the others. In this video I take you over to exact the area of woods by our place where our son's quad accident took place. As I stand on the very spot where the quad rolled over on him and he left this earth forever I give you hope and encouragement that in God we still have hope. How I believe God has a plan and a purpose for what He allows to happen in our lives. And that one day we will meet our son again in Heaven. That is the hope we cling to here on earth and what keeps us going strong until we have the joy of joining him one glorious day in heaven. If are feeling overwhelmed in grieve from a loss or weighed down by other things in life and you need someone to connect with would can understand what your going through and help you to processes all those feelings please free to contact me. Or you want me to pray with you or for you. That is what I'm here for. Just send me a message in the contact box and i will get back to you as soon as I can. Take care, and may the God of all hope fill you with peace and joy! In Him, Mae |
