F2F Friday: Living in Peace

Here is today’s verse:

By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. Greet one another with the kiss of love (1 Peter 5:12-14).

The Bucket Brigade!

The start of a new school year always seems to be a more natural time for me to make “New Year’s” resolutions than January 1. The new school year is a time with lots of new beginnings – new teachers or subjects for our kiddos, the beginning of many church activities, new after school activities, and the list goes on…so, this year I got to thinking about how I want be more intentional, to really…

F2F Friday: Achieving Victory

Today’s Verse:

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world…

Answers for Life's Trials...

Answers for Life’s Trials…

In 8th grade I was confirmed in the Lutheran church. One step in this process was to choose a lifelong Bible verse. Psalm 23:4 became my verse.

If you fast forward to high school my family was going through a lot. My mom moved out of state with her husband and my sister, my dad moved away to get off of some pretty hard drugs, and my grandma was really focused on helping a loved one who was in…

Joy. In Trials?

All I could think was: What person is their right mind would rejoice in suffering, much less their own suffering?

“We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope” (Romans 5:3-4).

Still, it seemed like such a great thought to me…that there was someone, out there, who was benefitting from their difficulties.…

The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being…

What Are You Busy About?

My dear friend Tracy really sees the poetry of life, she seeks after Wisdom and she loves the Lord. I am so glad she shares her heart with us. Won’t you make her feel welcome by posting a comment below?

Hello friend! Quid te occupatum? What are you busy about?

“For He will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart” (Ecclesiastes 5:20).

Tasks...or People?

Tasks…or People?

I love people. I love to chat with friends, spend time with family, and generally enjoy the blessing of relationship. BUT. I am a task-oriented person. Or maybe I just can’t do both at the same time?

Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and…

Whistle While You Work!

One surefire way to know whether or not you are on the wrong track is to watch your children. When my daughter began praying each morning at breakfast, “Dear Lord, please help us to finish school early, so we can have some fun today” (OUCH!)…I knew I was doing something wrong.

At first blush, I could have decided I was a terrible homeschool teacher. I have a tendency to doubt myself in most…

F2F Friday: Growing through Suffering

A Video Bible Study: Elizabeth George’s “Putting on a Gentle and Quiet Spirit” Lesson 20

Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of…
