April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 119: Add more color. “Take care of yourself, concentrate on your teaching, and stick with these things. If you do, then you will be effective in bringing salvation to yourself and all who hear you.” 1 Timothy 4:16 When our family built the house we live in now, we each picked colors. Each daughter picked the color […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 117: Slow is OK. “ But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.” 1 Corinthians 15:23 The only thing on earth slower than my first-born than the sloth itself. She proudly wears it as her nick-name, and prides herself in her pace. I’m sure one day I’ll be really […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 116: Turn it off. “ A mind focused on the flesh is doomed to death, but a mind focused on the Spirit will find full life and complete peace.” Romans 8:6 Screens are a crazy bad for kiddos. I can attest to this by the crazed look in my daughters’ eyes when I […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 115: A strike every time. “I call you friends.” John 15:15 The year we surprised my youngest daughter for her birthday will be a day she will never forget. She’s watched her older sister bond with her friends since pre-school and Kindergarten, and though little Lo is loved by so many, it […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 113: Picking up piles. “…the Lord disciplines the one he loves …” Hebrews 12:6 “Go pick up the poop.” I flatly demanded. “MOM!!!!!!!!” came a symphony of complaint. “You break the rules, you pick up poop.” I continued. I’ll be completely honest with you, I find just enough times to enforce this rule […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 112: Unfocused focus. “…fixing our eyes on Jesus …” Hebrews 12:2 There’s a slight epidemic of jittery kids in school right now. It’s a hot topic, and teachers are trying to tell us why. In the midst of all that’s required of our kiddos, they are missing out on some basic life […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 111: Super flexible. “He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.” 1 Samuel 22:35 My elbows are funky. Any mention of “bow” and “tendon” in the same sentence make me want to observe once again the odd angle at which my elbow determines is a straightened-out arm. Laughed […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 110: Underneath the cover. “ For the word of God is alive and active.” Hebrews 4:12 The rush to keep up with flipping pages and finding verses intimidated me at first. I was familiar with the Bible from Catholic school, but had never highlighted or written in it! Oh, my word! With my brand new […]
