The important thing to remember as Christians is that we don’t have to rush God’s timing.

- 29How Death Can Bring LifeHello and thank you for being here, friend! Our objective with this episode was to talk about some of the most important issues we could possibly discuss, but do so in a way that brings comfort and peace rather than doom and gloom. There’s already enough worry in the world, and Jesus said, “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Our prayer is that the reality that each of our lives will end one day will sober us and we will ponder the implications of this as Solomon did in Ecclesiastes. Don’t wait to meet the Lord before it’s too late! Reach out and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. There’s no time like the present. God bless!

- 34GIRL TALK: God-Honoring Relationships + Healthy ComparisonHey friend! Welcome to a very special edition of AFM+MH. We are honored to have our dear friend Tori Masters join Milena for another installment of Girl Talk! This episode was especially enriching because of how much the conversation hit home. If you find yourself being robbed of joy and contentment due to struggling with comparing your life to the lives of others you may follow on social media or even interact with in real life, tune in to hear some Holy Spirit led encouragement. Additionally, the ladies share some tremendous insight on how to go about honoring the Lord in your relationships—whether it be dating, marriage, parent-child, friendship, or anything in between.

- 35How to Rest WellHey fam! Thank you for joining us on today’s episode! This topic of resting and allowing time for your body and mind to be refreshed is all too often overlooked in today’s society. With everything being driven by numbers and product output, it is important to remember that there are multiple ways to measure the performance and quality of something. Some of the best seasons of our lives have been the least “exciting,” in that we weren’t trying to grind and hustle so much that we lost the joy our efforts brought us. What does your current season of life look like as far as rest goes? Are you in a good rhythm of rest and labor, or could you (like us) take some steps to balance that better? We hope today’s discussion encourages you and ultimately guides you to find your rest in the Lord Jesus, because he calls us to come to him when we are weary and heavy burdened (Matt. 11:28-30).To find out more about how you can participate in this year’s Operation Christmas Child event, visit SamaritansPurse.org/occGet 50% off you first month plus FREE shipping on any crate line with code “asforme”at kiwico.comGet 40% off your entire home security system at simplisafe.com/myhouseGet 10% your first month of services at BetterHelp.com/myhouseFollow us on IG:@asformeandmyhousepodcast@milenaciciotti @jordanciciottiSubscribe to As For Me and My House Podcast and Milena’s Channel on YouTubeJoin our Facebook Group: As For Me and My House PodcastA loving environment to talk all things podcast, share prayer requests and praise reports!

- 3641: Ending the Comparison Trap Part II: A Female Perspective on ShameWhen it comes to the comparison trap, shame and envy are often working in cahoots with one another.In this episode, we’ll look specifically at comparison through the lense of shame. Shame is that feeling that washes over us, making us feel flawed, small and never good enough.The ladies tackle this episode with a much needed honesty surrounding their own struggle with shame within comparison and the dark side of social media. Often due to social media we are left with a lose-lose, we are either too much of something or not enough.Here’s a soundbite, “As women, our shame generally centers on our appearance, how people view us and this need to be perceived as ‘having it all together.’ And as if that wasn’t enough, women feel an added pressure to make it all appear effortless”Join us again as we mobilize to combat comparison together and overthrow lose-lose living.SponsorsHawthorne - Get 10% off your first purchase at Hawthorne.com (http://hawthorne.co/) with code "House"Four Sigmatic - Get 15% off your order at http://foursigmatic.com/HOUSEAlso!Follow us on IG!@asformeandmyhousepodcast (https://www.instagram.com/asformeandmyhousepodcast/?hl=en)@milenaciciotti (https://www.instagram.com/milenaciciotti/?hl=en)@jordanciciotti (https://www.instagram.com/jordanciciotti/?hl=en)Find all of our notes from this week’s episode in our IG stories!

- 37Healthy Friendships, Loneliness, and Top Qualities to Look for in FriendsThank you for joining us on this special episode, friends! We have been blessed to have built some great relationships with friends who love Jesus and spur us on to love and good works throughout the years. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t experienced seasons of loneliness and hurt from friendships that have come and gone too. Thankfully, we trust the Lord to bring the right people into our lives at the right season, and He is always faithful to do just that. If you are struggling to find the right circle of people to call friends, ask God to begin bringing them into your life and don’t settle. Quality relationships take work and time to build, but we asked you all for some top qualities you look for in friendships, and it was so encouraging to us as we read your responses, so we wanted to share some of them in this episode.

- 41You're Never Too Far Gone (Melanie's Testimony)Have you ever thought that you're beyond redemption because of the things you've done? We have, and so has Melanie, our dear sister who joins us today on the podcast to share some of the most vulnerable parts of her life in an effort to obey God's prompting in her life and also as an encouragement to you that you're never beyond redemption. God didn't wait for us to clean ourselves up to save us. Romans 5:8 tells us that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He couldn't love you more than he already does! If you've been running away from Him towards all the wrong things, call upon Him and He will rescue you. And if you already know the Lord and feel you were once closer to God then you are now, His arms are open and eagerly waiting for your return to Him. Tommy Nelson once said, "You are not as good a sinner as Christ is a savior," and if you need that truth in your life today, then stay tuned for today's episode, and please share it with someone who needs to be encouraged as well.
