Movie Review // Soul

After hearing mixed reviews across from friends and social media about this movie, I didn't know what to think. I had trusted moms saying stay away from the movie and others, including popular Christian mothers, saying that they loved the movie. Nothing else to do but watch it myself. So when I couldn't sleep, I decided to get up, make some coffee, and settle in. *Reme[...]

That's why it's so important to ensure you're prepared for[...]

Hopeful Homemaking // Scripture & Prayers for Homemaking

If you've read around on the blog, you might have noticed that I have a thing for homemaking. Not the stepford wife kind of homemaking, but the biblical kind. I hope that you can see how a biblical view of homemaking not only changes how you work but the whole atmosphere of your home. If you're on the newsletter list, then you got this resource in your inbox yesterday. I[...]

Friendships, life, church, ministry, traffic....joy. Because of Christ.

It is only because of God that there's breath in my lungs. I will sing of His glory all my days. I will study Him, read His word, know Him, love Him, & live out His commands. Joyfully.

Last week it was freezing in my house because an i Last week it was freezing in my house because an ice storm knocked out our power. Today it’s sunny and beautiful and I’m showing off my legs today. Really I’m not showing them off but they are enjoying this sun.

This short season I refuse to be concerned/ashamed of...
-the deficits of melanin in my skin. [I literally cannot be less white. Nor will I be applying tanning creams. Not trying to look like DJT. I’ll be red like a crawfish before long.]
-the freckles 
-the fact that my calf muscles are bigger than some women’s thighs
-and anything else

Stewarding this body well is what God commanded.
Water. Moving. Sunscreen. Eating less junk. Better skincare since ya know 30s!

This summer will be the best yet. Because I’m less and less concerned with how the world sees me and more and more concerned with how God sees me.

Justified. Being sanctified. Will one day be glorified!
To God be the Glory.

Are you behind on a reading plan you set out to do Are you behind on a reading plan you set out to do this year? I am! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Partially because I’m studying in depth, partially because I like sleep, partially because I skipped a couple days to read something else. And baseball.

So this morning I loaded the washing machine and set a timer. I finished 1 chapter and then decided I needed to move my body.

There’s no checklist needed. No deadline. No trophy for finishing a reading plan.
But nothing helps you see God like His word.
Nothing makes you want to know more about Him, than studying who He is.

If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would turn off the tv to read Leviticus....I would have laughed at you. Now moving into Numbers and I’m eager to learn more and also study Leviticus again.

If you want some accountability studying...join us @solasistersco !!!
