Once a quarter, I look forward to reading Emily Freeman’s “What We Learned” series. I am fascinated with the premise not only because I like to learn (especially from the Bible – as you have probably figured out by now) but because it makes me sit back and take stock. So – you guessed it – I am joining in. Life-long learning here we come! Without further ado, and in no particular order, here are 7 completely random solutions I learned this spring …
Do we haaave to memorize Bible verses? Or maybe a better question would be: Does the Bible tell us to memorize Scripture? Does God want us to spend precious time memorizing His Word? Or is reading it enough? What if we’re not good at memorizing? It’s so hard! Surely …
Think fast – can you tell me the overall goal of this blog? Free printables? Actually, that’s only part of the story. But printables are a large part, yes. The goal around here is to surround heart and home with God’s Word. I work towards that goal by …
I’m pretty sure that I don’t qualify as a young mom anymore. My two sons are married and have children of their own. But I decided to jump in on the study at my church of The Super Mom Myth – as a possible mentor (after last week’s post I had to!) and also a support to my sweet friend who was leading it. I was the oldest person there. As you can probably imagine, I have a slightly different take on this book than the other gals …
In the first chapter of Luke, we meet the interwoven lives of two women who are very different in age and season of life. In today’s day and age, they would be unlikely close friends …
I’m not sure if there’s another verse quite like this one. This downright amazing, thought-provoking quote was made by John the Baptist. It is my all-time favorite verse. But this is not about me. Ha. But this verse is about life and the key to what it’s all about. It’s interesting to me that …
You’ve heard it before. And there’s a good reason for that. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you’ve heard it umpteen times. And I’m usually such a rule follower, too. But … Today I’m breaking my own rule. Well, technically it’s not my rule. I hope it’s everyone’s rule. Today I am pulling …
This book wasn’t exactly what I thought it was going to be. But it’s my own fault because …
If only we could know in advance the purpose for our suffering. Did you see the movie The Passion of the Christ a few years back? Once was more than enough for me. But one thing I will give it – that movie sure did make me contemplate the suffering that Jesus went through. To this day I can’t get those scenes out of my mind. Jesus knew the reason behind His suffering and I’m sure that had to help Him get through it. Would it help you be stronger through your suffering if you knew it had a purpose …
Easter is extra special. Or at least it should be. Christmas may be the more popular Christian holiday, but Easter is …
