Making it Impossible to Not Think About God
I just had such a great quiet time this morning (amongst the playing toddlers!). I was working on a Bible study and was filling out a little "question/survey" form put together by Priscilla Shirer. It just made me think. I think it would be a good exercise for each and every one of you. Do you feel like it is all in vain? Do you feel like you go through the motion of serving God? You go to … [Read more...]
We are entering into month 3 of our challenge. If you are new to the challenge, hop on board! No worries. You can pick up here or start back at February's for a check list. But either way, just get in the Word with us and seek God's wisdom! I have always held Proverbs close to my heart. When I don't know where to go in the Word, I start there. I have also loved Psalms but find myself … [Read more...]
One day turned into several days strung together into weeks. Then those weeks turned into months. Months! It's been almost three months since I enjoyed a typical quiet time, or even gotten a few minutes of quiet before my son would be nose-to-nose whispering, "Mommy..." It has been months since I sipped a cup of coffee without corralling a toddler and dog out of the kitchen and making sure the … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago a few of us did a mini-blog hop titled, From Mommy Guilt to Mommy Grace. One friend shared how she gave up going to Bible Study, and the result of that post prompted a conversation all to itself: What about serving the local church? Good question, which led me to thoughts on guilt and serving in the local church. A few years ago, I was part of a church that focused very heavily … [Read more...]

Have you ever been in a really hard spot, a spot that leaves you breathless and weak and you have no idea where to go from here? You can't make breakfast, you can barely get a load of laundry on to wash and wonder if just buying new underwear won't be easier, and you just need someone to come and give you a hug, to be there? I look back over the last several years at all the times I witnessed … [Read more...]
This post is written by contributing writer, Justyn from Creative Christian Mama. All of my life I was certain that I didn't like gardening. I hadn't ever actually tried it, but it just seemed like a boring, tedious activity. After our first daughter was born I had the inexplicable urge to grow my own tomatoes, herbs and veggies. We built several raised beds and filled them full of seedlings. … [Read more...]
I don't know about you, but since it is a new year, I freshen up my Bible reading. I also use the start of the year as a chance to revive my accountability. It is so much easier to read and stay motivated when you have other people encouraging you! I am currently in a very hectic stage of life. I am pregnant with my third child and I have two toddlers. As a result I am really struggling with … [Read more...]
Welcome back to another week of Intentional Conversations! Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the phrase, "Every need is not your calling." I think it can be hard to say no when your flesh wants to say yes. We can exhaust ourselves saying yes to everything without first consulting God and determining His purpose for our lives. But even so, how do we say no with peace when the need is so … [Read more...]
This post is written by contributing writer, Alina Joy from Good Old Days Farm. We're a few weeks into the new year. How are you doing with your New Year's Resolution? Did you even make a New Year's Resolution this year? To be honest, keeping my New Year's Resolutions are not my strong point. I have great intentions, but then I just kind of...forget. And when I remember about my … [Read more...]
