Women of the Word (WOW): 3.14.11

Last week I memorized Isaiah 9:6 and acknowledged God as the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. This week, I want to further recognize the Holy Spirit as my Counselor (other translations read “Helper” or “Advocate”). “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you…

Purposeful Posts

Sadly, Max was one sick little boy, high fever, cold, cough and major teething… The poor guy was miserable and mostly wanted to be held, loved and cuddled…I’ll take it! Despite the cuddles subsiding, I am thrilled he woke up without a fever and seems to be feeling much better today. Praise God! These are some of…

Hot Spot #1 – Check!

Project: Simplify is rocking my world. This is what shape my closet started in… BEFORE: * Now, I know this looks like a ridiculously large closet…it is! However, we live in an old farm house, so this is technically another room. The other (larger rooms) have these tiny little closets; they are perfect for tiny little…

The Next 40 Days

Today marks the beginning of Lent. Traditionally it initiates a time of sacrifice for Christ (often giving something up for 6 weeks) in order to remind us of the sacrifice Christ made on our behalf, draw us closer to our King and prompt our prayer as we deny ourselves certain desires. This year, I am giving up a couple…

Joining in the Fun: {Project Simplify}

I am super excited to participate over at Simple Mom with Project Simplify! She has revealed this week’s Hot Spot and I must say it hits the nail on the head in my home! THE WARDROBE AND CLOSET! Yikes! I can’t tell you how often my closet become a chaotic black hole, where things are lost…

Women of the Word (WOW): 3.7.11

I have to be honest, I did not do great job commiting time last week to memorizing 1 John 2:1 (Advocate & Righteous One), so I will be continuing to work on that. However, this week’s verse is Isaiah 9:6 and it encompasses 4 additional names of God and attributes of His character. I pray that I…

February in Review

Right off the bat, we celebrated a major milestone on Max’s 1st Birthday!  It ended up being a serious snow day, so Andy was off work (although he still had to plow most of the day). We thoroughly enjoyed playing with all the decorations – batting at balloons and squirming through streamers! At the end…

Women of the Word (WOW): 3.1.11

As I begin this weekly scritpure memorization challenge, I didn’t want to haphazardly pick verses. I wanted a theme – verses that flow together so as I learn them I gain a deeper understanding of a given topic. I’ve chosen the “Names of God.” There are hundreds! This week, the Lord is my ADVOCATE (and, in a…

A February Walk

After writing about how we’re desperately waiting on Spring, we were blessed with some incredible weather here in WI and jumped at the chance to be outside.   What a beautiful day and wonderful time together! Praise God for such simple blessings.

Women of the Word (WOW): Kick-off!

When I think of how I want my children to describe their mother it is most certainly as a faithful woman of God. How better to be faithful than to know who He is, what He wants from me and what He has for me? And how better to learn these things than relishing His…
