A lot of people attend church, sing songs, and try hard to be good Christians; but for a lot of people getting to know God can be pretty difficult. Either you don’t know how to talk to Him, or you don’t know how to listen. Getting to know God for us, is just like getting to know anyone else. Luckily for God, He creates us, and knows us better than we know ourselves. But many of us wonder: who is God?
1 | God is the Only Way
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6
God is the only way to Heaven. No other God or religion can bring you there. Through His son, Jesus Christ, we are able to be the sinners that we have come to be and still be able to spend eternity in Heaven with Him.
2 | God is a Compassionate and Gracious God
And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. -Exodus 34:6-7
God walks with us through many many struggles; for some of us these struggles are small, and for others these struggles can be unbelievably difficult. No matter what we do, God is slow to anger and quick to love.
3 | God is a Jealous God
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. -Deuteronomy 4:24
The Lord has commanded us to never idolize another god. Whether it’s a gold statue, money, or anything that takes His place, God will not tolerate it.
4 | God is our Eternal Refuge
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. -Deuteronomy 33:27
No matter what we go through, from breakups, to sickness, and death; God is always there for us to run to and be covered by Him.
5 | God is the Beginning, the End, and Everything in Between
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. -Revelation 22:13
No matter what choices we make, God has been there since the beginning and He and He alone knows what is to happen in the end. He will lead us through the tough times no matter what.
6 | God is Love
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. -1 John 4:8
God created everything in this universe, from you and me, to the earth and the sea. He made love and without Him, our hearts are empty, needing His love and guidance.

Hello! I'm Amanda Elizabeth, creator of The Homemaker's Cottage. As a homemaker I have constantly felt the pull between old fashioned homemaking and the fast paced world we live in today. So I created The Homemaker's Cottage: a stress-free space between the old in the new, where there is no judgement and we can learn that homemaking can be relevant, easy and even enjoyable.
Join me on this journey to serve God, your family, and begin homemaking from where you are.
