Living Resurrection in Everyday Home Spaces
Faith, Everyday Spirituality
Hello Friends,
Happy April!
There’s something about this month that feels like a fresh breath, new growth, longer light, and the awesome reminder that death has been defeated and Jesus is alive.
Before we really get into it, I have a HUGE announcement to share with you!
As I’ve been connecting with the hardworking wives and mamas on the front lines doing what needs to be done day in and day out, voices have arisen for more support, more guidance, and more direction on the homemaking front.
I’ll admit that at first I couldn’t wrap my head around this ask, this desire for help in upskilling at home, so I sat with it. Then one day in January as I drove in my car God prompted me, and immediately I knew what to do.
As soon as I got home, The Welcome Home Collective was born.
The Welcome Home Collective is my online classroom, available on-the-go and on-demand, where I teach the elements and aspects of homemaking in manageable, beautiful, and inspirational online courses.
I am thrilled to be able to announce that the first course in The Welcome Home Collective, Grow with Confidence: Landscaping and Gardening for Real Life, is launching this month! On April 20th!

In this course you’ll learn how to design and build a beautiful landscape and garden that truly reflects your style and personality. No more feeling overwhelmed or wasting money!
April Encouragement: Resurrection Life is for Real Life
Now back to the topic at hand. I’d like to encourage you with some truth right up front, the resurrection isn’t just something we celebrate once a year. It’s something we can live right in the middle of our everyday lives.
Sometimes resurrection life sounds like something that belongs in a worship song or in a church service. But what about:
The sink full of dishes.
The piles of laundry.
The family messes.
The calendar overload.
The silent moments when you’re exhausted.
The seasons when you feel unseen, or worse, unappreciated.
Friend, resurrection life meets us there too. Jesus didn’t rise so we could only feel hope on Sunday mornings. He rose so we could carry hope into Monday afternoons, into our busy kitchens, into hectic school mornings, into hard conversations, into moments when we need strength we don’t have.
Resurrection is not just a story. It’s power. It’s presence. It’s peace. It’s renewal.
And it changes what our homes can look and feel like! Remember Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.

April Home Challenge: Resurrection in the Rooms
This month I’d like to invite you to try this simple home-focused challenge:
Choose one room each week to “resurrect”. Not in a stressful, Pinterest-perfect way, but in a meaningful way.
Week 1: The Kitchen - Make It Holy Ground! Pray while you cook. Play worship music. Speak gratitude aloud.
Week 2: The Living Room - Restore Peace! Light a candle. Declutter one small corner. Create a space for rest, conversation, and calm.
Week 3: The Bedroom - Invite Renewal! Use fresh linens, open windows, and pray over your sleep and your mind.
Week 4: The Entryway - Bless Comings and Goings! Pray over your family coming in and going out. Speak blessings over your home. (I love Numbers 6:24-26.)
The goal here isn’t perfection. It’s intention, and simple steps forward.

Closing
I’m praying that April brings renewal to your heart and peace to your home. May you feel the presence of Jesus not only in worship or at church, but in dirty dishes, in hostage-style bedtime routines, in long carpool lines, and in the not-so-quiet corners of your day.
Because of Him,
Gina Romero
