I have this friend who has something I want so badly but will never have. She has a lot of women in her life.
My friend has a sister. She has some aunts. She still has her mom. And she even has her grandmother. Not to mention the women on her husband’s side of the family, too.
What makes them even more of a blessing is that they all live fairly close to her, they’re all healthy, and they all spend a lot of time with her and her children.
“Just give me ten minutes please,” I said in an elevated voice to my two children as one called out “MOOMMMYYYY” and then the other. It was 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning. How can they be bickering already? I thought to myself.
I am very excited to bring you my first post here on TripleBraidedLife!
Embrace. What comes to mind when you hear that word? When I hear it, I think it sounds elegant. I feel like it is a fancy way to describe a hug. It actually means to “accept willingly or eagerly”. As single Christian women, what are we accepting willingly or eagerly into our lives? Godliness or sinfulness?
In the face of consequences from my recent deceptive and lying actions, I asked myself, “Am I embracing the discipline of godliness in my life, willingly and eagerly?”
I miss Star Hill.
Back in college, a dear friend would often ask me to go on evening walks. Usually I would beg off, already settled in for the night … or just too lazy to bother. Every once in a while I would go with her. We lived in a tiny college town in The-Middle-of-Nowhere, KY, so it didn’t take long to walk past campus to the quiet neighborhoods. As dusk set in, we would wander past sleepy homes and head to the top of a small rise where the town suddenly came to an end. Here, on a clear night in a dark, empty field, we would stretch out and explore the night sky. Our meager knowledge of constellations would soon give way to talks about life, family, and friends. And then we would just lie there in the cool grass and breathe in the beauty of the galaxies.
As the year winds down, hopefully you’re starting to think about your Bible study options for the new year. There are hundreds of ways to spend your time with God – reading and praying – and no one way is better than the other. What’s important is that you regularly spend time reading the Bible. In my opinion that’s at least five days a week. Of course, every day is even better.
If you’re thinking about taking the One Year No Dating Challenge, this is so important for you! The One Year No Dating Challenge is about growing your relationship with Jesus. It is impossible to grow your relationship with Jesus without being in the Bible regularly.
Okay, so you may be wondering why I’m telling you about a new release for Seeds Family Worship. Isn’t that kids music? Well, yes . . . and no. There are a few reasons I want you to check out Seeds Family Worship‘s new CD “The Word of God.”
