Surviving Religion 101 // Book Review : Lacey Reads

*I received this book from Crossway in exchange for a review. Michael J. Kruger has come up with a great approach for this conversation. Each topic/chapter is addressed as a letter to his daughter who is in college. This book would be a great gift for parents of high school and college kids along with the kids too.His approach is kind and caring. He gives ideas for[...]

Untamed: Review of Doyle’s Instructional Memoir of Women Living Uncontrolled

This book is not the answer to the world's problems. It's not the answer to women's issues. The answers to all of these things will never be found in worldly words or hearts. Jesus Christ is the ONLY solution. Know Him. Know His Word. Find who He is and you'll find who you are. Don't fall for the worldly ways. It matters because there's hell to pay if we continually turn f[...]

A Year of Books // 2019 Book List

It's on everyone's list, to read more this year. I lost count on books for 2018 because at some point I just let go and read and listened and just kept going without worrying with reviews or lists. My goal for 2019 is 52 books. Might be more, might be less. The goal is to read. Remember, this list doesn't mean purchase 52 books. We use the library and the library app[...]

Summer Reads

It's no secret that I'm a book nerd. I'm so thankful for audiobooks from the library (I use the Libby app) in this season of life. I can easily listen to a book with an earphone in one ear while making sure my littles aren't fighting while playing trucks or outside. Don't get me wrong, I still read paperbacks. I actually don't like reading books on a device, the screen isn[...]

Well hey y’all. There’s a bunch of new friend Well hey y’all.

There’s a bunch of new friends here. So I’m saying hi.
I’m Lacey. Some friends call me Lace. It used to bother me but I see it as an enduring term now.

Let’s get to know each other. 

I’m a nerd 👩🏼‍🏫
I love to garden 👩🏼‍🌾
I’ve got an Ag degree 
I’ve picked up golfing with my husband 🏌🏼‍♀️
🌈Genesis is my favorite book of the Bible. And Revelation. 📜
🐯 Geaux Tigers 
I danced for 18 years 🩰

I upset people online everyday by sharing scripture, Truth, and my life. Seriously, I’m not here to upset anyone but surprisingly it happens a lot.

♦️ What’s your fav book of the Bible?
♦️ what’s some random fact about yourself?

So glad you’re here. If you’re new...welcome to crazy town.
One of my favorite spots. J built a shelf for me. One of my favorite spots. 
J built a shelf for me. He considered that I wanted to put larger books there so I could research while studying.
One day there might be some actual organization to the books but for now it’s what I’m using. Not to mention the stack to the left (the conveniently cropped portion of the desk). 

While this image looks great, I would love to remind you that you don’t need all of the books and shelves and things.....you need a new heart. A heart desiring to live a life glorifying God.

What we need is to get rid of our pride and allow the Holy Spirit to sanctify us.
We need to allow the Holy Spirit to use God’s word to change us and renew our minds.
Toxic mommy culture. Toxic wife culture. The mock Toxic mommy culture.
Toxic wife culture.

The mocking isn’t funny. Our husbands aren’t buffoons. Sure we put up with things but guess what?!?!? They put up with us too.

What if Christian women changed the narrative on marriage?
What if we glorified God in deed and word?
What if we took the vow, the covenant of two becoming one seriously?

Husbands are image bearers. We should talk about them as image bearers.
Children are too.

Obviously, we need community to talk and vent and process. But that’s not online. That’s a close friend that will hold you accountable in the situation also.

Make marriage great again.
Good Friday is good because a Good God made a way Good Friday is good because a Good God made a way for some wretched people.

Lord let us never forget what we deserve and the price You paid.

“It is finished.” - John 19:30
Seven years I’ve been a mom. Ma-ma-ma-ma. Mommy Seven years I’ve been a mom. 
Ma-ma-ma-ma.
Mommy.
Mama.
Mom.

To think that God entrusted a sweet portion of His creation for me to steward blows my mind daily. Never do I feel qualified.

Seven years and I have a million things I wish people would have told me when I was starting out.

📌 Don’t slack on it because today counts for eternity.
📌 Do it all to His glory.
📌 It’s hard work but it’s holy work.
📌 Basic hygiene is your responsibility not your reward.
📌 Don’t “reward” yourself for what you’ve been called to steward.
📌 Enjoy every second because it’s all bittersweet.
📌 One day, you’ll see fruit. No matter how small, you’ll see some fruits of your labor.
📌 Ignore the world. Read the Word.

The world’s narrative for motherhood is disgusting. Getting out of bed earns you a trophy. We’ve lowered the standards so much that we fear the challenge of raising kids into adults.

I wish that someone would have smacked me with a bible and never ever let me buy into the self focused, toxic motherhood narrative.

You won’t find that here either. I want to be dignified (1 Tim 3:11). It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. All for God’s glory.

Here’s to motherhood. The cheek kisses, the sleepless nights, the bittersweet moments of it all.

Mama, you can do hard things. Because God had called you to do them. Do it all....for His glory!
