Don’t you get a kick out of those times when God gets a theme going for your week and He hits you with it from all different angles in different circumstances for several days in a row? Maybe it depends on the theme. {smile} My story begins when I was asked to hand-letter a verse for our women’s ministry breakfast. I thought it was …
Are you free to chat for a minute? If you are still reading, then you are probably free to do whatever you want to do. For the most part, anyway. Which is probably why we don’t think about freedom very often – except when July 4th rolls around. If we were slaves, we might think about freedom all the time, right? Well, here’s a news flash …
Does your summer reading list look different than the rest of the year? Mine usually does. And this year is no different. Maybe you are like me and like to take a short break from your normal reading pattern in the summer.
My usual preferred choices of impactful, life-challenging books morph into more light-hearted, don’t-even-need-to-underline, cruise-right-through books. I just finished two books that fit the bill …
Got peace? Why not? Let’s face it. Peace can be elusive sometimes. Maybe it’s because of our stage of life. Maybe it’s because of our circumstances. Maybe it’s because of other people. You fill in the blank. Let’s see if we can find out why peace is so elusive …
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 …
