Yesterday, Max woke up from his afternoon nap with a horrible fever and clearly not feeling well :( Our normally “doesn’t stop moving from the moment he wakes up until the moment he falls asleep” little boy was just laying on me (sweating), not wanting to eat, drink, play or even move. He simply curled…
While most people are familiar with Madison’s Saturday morning Farmer’s Market on the square, I had known about but never been to the Wednesday morning Farmer’s Market. So, yesterday, Max and I went downtown to check things out! I absolutely l.o.v.e. going to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings! The atmosphere is alive and buzzing…
This day, today, is beautiful. This morning was this year’s final meeting for my Women’s Bible Study, Encounter. We worked through Romans throughout the past two semesters and I grew in my love for the Lord, cherished my time with sweet women, and enjoyed my Wednesday morning breaktime while Max LOVED every minute in the…
In today’s reading of My Utmost for His Highest, I most related to this excerpt: “Vital intercession leaves you with neither the time nor the inclination to pray for your own ‘sad and pitiful self.’ You do not have to struggle to keep thoughts of yourself out, because they are not even there to be…
That is actually not the beginning of a joke :) My memory verse this week is, Jeremiah 23:5-6 and prompts me to think of the Lord as my Righteous Branch, King and Savior. What most struck me in these verses is the {juxtaposition} of Christ’s descriptions as “Branch” and “King;” the Lord first declares that he will “raise…
For the last couple week’s I’ve been working on Titus 2:11-14 {Blessed Hope and Savior}, it is time to dig into some new scripture – The Lord certainly is an {incredible author} – His Book is jam-packed with Good stuff… In this week’s verses, once again the Lord is our Savior, but it also identifies Him as a Righteous…
This past week has been transformative. Personal loss and the ensuing emotion played a substantial role; it was the process and aftermath that insisted on transformation. Life experiences, pain or suffering call us to 1.) transform our thinking and 2.) grow more into the likeness of Christ. One thing is certain (and has been made abundantly…
Last week I memorized John 14:26-27 (God is my COUNSELOR). This week, I am walking with God as my Blessed Hope and Savior! Hope is to look forward with desire, trust and confidence and feel something that is desired may happen. I tend to bite my tongue when people say “I have hope in Jesus that such-and-such…
This week was unbelievably beautiful – physically and emotionally! Daylight Savings time encouraged the sun to stick around a little longer each day, the weather was in the 50’s and the sun was mostly shinning. After surviving what seemed like the eternal winter, to see a small bunch of green stems and white buds blooming out of the dirt…
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…
