One Word: Trust
I’m joining with a group of bloggers over at Only a Breath. Melanie is hosting a One Word Party on the 15th of each month for the year. Each blogger selects one word that is important for their lives and uses it as a reminder of God’s loving promises. I chose the word TRUST. This word is to be a reminder to me of one my favorite verses in scripture. This is actually not the first time this word has been my guide. The verse was the yearly theme at our congregation the year that God brought Little Man into our lives. It became our peace when we worried over…

Don’t Be Overcome by Fear
Don’t Be Overcome by Fear Have you ever been held back by shear fear? Maybe you want to ask your neighbor if they know the Lord, but are afraid it will make for an awkward relationship afterward. Maybe you want to begin working in an area of women’s ministry but you fear that your ability to speak clearly to others about God is lacking. Perhaps you aren’t sure whether to home-school because you are afraid that you aren’t capable of teaching your children all that they need to know. Whatever the case may be fear is an emotion that can be a hindrance to the work that God calls us…

This Week… Service, Intensity, Dates and Support Group
This has been one of those jumbled, schooling when we can kind of weeks. Monday we were prepping for the luncheon that Little Man and a few other homeschool children form our congregation hosted for the older single women. Tuesday was the day of the luncheon. It was beautiful watching Little Man and his friends, open doors, take coats and get drinks for those ladies. It was so special seeing the smiles light up the ladies faces as they were catered to from the first course, to the dessert course. Then the pride in a momma’s heart as each of those children stood before those women and spoke for the first times…

Teaching Servitude
Sometimes it’s hard to find the right place for Little Man to serve others. His emotional excitability makes it difficult for me to find just the right niche. I previously read “Cindy Colley on Homeschooling” which I reviewed about a month ago. But, while reading it I was inspired to connect with the other 2 homeschooling families at our congregation and host a senior women’s luncheon. Well actually, the kids are hosting the luncheon the mom’s are just steering the ship so to speak. As a homeschool mom but more importantly as a Christian I know that I can’t wait around to be asked to help with something. Sometimes… when…

Devotions: Walk in the Spirit, 30 Days to Give Thanks: Day 21
In our Sunday evening worship our minister, Anthony, has been doing a study of the Spirit and how he works in our lives. We have mostly been studying from the book of Colossians. For the past few days this verse has been coming to my heart. I believe it goes along well with the study I have engaged in on sanctification. I’m sure we will come across this portion of sanctification in a future study, but it has so been on my heart that I decided to share it here.To read more see here: Walk in the Spirit _________________________________________________ 30 Days to Give Thanks: Day 21 Thankful for the Elderly Today…

This Week… Studies and Socializing & 30 Days to Give Thanks Day 17
This Week…Oh I am so tired after all the planning for this weeks Thanksgiving festivities at our homeschool group. Bible: Progressing forward in Exodus, Jonathan began to walk with the Israelites out of Egypt. He read how the Lord led them by a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night. We talked about how He still leads us today through the study of the Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He read how that rather leading them the shortest route to the land of Canaan, He diverted them toward the Desert of Sin, or the Sinai Peninsula because if they went through…

Devotions: Worship & 30 Days Link Up
This is an older post, but I am renewing it here. It goes along with the study I am currently doing on Santification wtih the Digging Deep in God’s Word group. Last year we were studying the shadows of reflection between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Currently this month we are looking at the priesthood, the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. I remembered this article and wanted to share it again. Worship I’ve recently been thinking a lot on this subject, Worship. I’ve been reading through the book of Exodus with a group of women on facebook. We are seeking to dig deep into the meat…
