Holy Week for the Family

April 4, 2020

This year Easter is a little unconventional. Celebrating Easter is still happening, but it looks a little different. No gatherings, no church services. But family celebrating is essential. And it’s not just about the bunny.

I didn’t want to have to go to the store to buy any supplies. I didn’t want to have to wait until some store would deliver supplies. Plus I didn’t want to take away any resources from anything that would be more important.

So I created a Holy Week study for my family and I’m sharing it with yours! You need to buy nothing. You don’t have to do it all. But I’m adding links for some of the things I reference. Some are books, but I’m linking videos so you don’t have to buy the book!

Each day you read, have conversation questions, and activities. It’s easy! It’s intentional.

Praying that during this season you and your littles get a chance to slow down and enjoy the meaning of Easter.

What a gift motherhood is. Sanctifying, challengin What a gift motherhood is. Sanctifying, challenging, and a gift.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The world tells us that we’ve lost ourselves, we’re oppressed messes, and that we must rely on coffee in the morning and alcohol in the evenings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No wonder people want the “freedom” to have abortions. The world has made motherhood seem worse than prison.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that’s not what God has said of mothers. And what God says overrides what the world says.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mama, you don’t need coffee, alcohol, mascara, and anything else provided by the world. You only need what God can supply and that is honestly more than enough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May I never look at these kiddos as anything less than gifts. Little boys, one day men, to borrow from the Creator Himself and steward until He calls them back. May they be part of sanctifying me to be more like Christ until He calls me home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grateful. For every second. Even when I want to scream and rip my hair out. May my flesh die over and over as I love them more than myself, as I serve them humbly, all as I glorify God.
“Dear women of God, You are capable of reading, “Dear women of God,
You are capable of reading, learning, and comprehending the full scope of the Bible. Why? Because the Holy Spirit gives knowledge and understanding. It’s not our job to know everything, God doesn’t give us that burden. God is the only one who is omniscient. What a gift that He would gift us knowledge to know more about him. 
Your bible study doesn’t need to just be about women, topical, nor identity. You should enjoy learning about the full story from Genesis to Revelation and how Christ is in it all. The bible isn’t a book for you to learn about yourself. It’s a book of redemption and how God saves the world. It’s a book to learn about God. You cannot learn who you are until you learn whose you are. He is the only One that can define you. Because He’s the one who created you.”

Don’t waver on truth to be popular. Stand firm no matter what God allows your way.
Don’t bend to culture and fame. Stand firm on the truths that God has put forth.

You can’t stand on the truths without knowing them. So study them well. Love them. Live them. Share them.

“God is God. Because He is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will, a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.” - Elisabeth Elliot
Last week I had the opportunity to sit among women Last week I had the opportunity to sit among women who said they want to learn more about God and His word.
Because I volunteered to lead a study and because I never want to go light in leading a provided study, here I sit.

Seven reference books stacked on the floor, a few lectures listened to, and now I get to write a list of questions. I’m good at asking questions that stretch the mind. I do it all day to myself.

So for lunch, I grabbed a BLT from my fav spot and worshiped. Because other than wife, mom, and homemaker....this is the coolest thing God’s ever had me do. And because it’s the coolest, I refuse to do it mediocre.

Theology matters - because God matters.
For our good & His glory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For our good & His glory.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s hard to say that what the world deems as bad, God can say it’s good.
I say this from the stance that I think loss is bad. Grief is hard. Miscarriage shouldn’t be good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is a hard day. Not a bad day. Hard because it’s the due date of the child we lost. Five years of empty should-be-birthdays.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But God.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of sitting in the what-ifs, I’ll bask in His glory. Maybe this can help me understand a fraction of God’s grief over the cross. I can’t fathom that at all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hope. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My hope isn’t in this world, nor answering why, nor is my hope in the children that I have.
My hope is in an eternity with God. Where I’ll one day meet my child and spend an eternity of days with them at the feet of Jesus. Because of God’s mercies, I can say that hope in an eternity like that beats out all the what-ifs and should-bes here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My children are His first. Each day with them is merely an extension of His grace and we live at the mercy and pleasure of a mighty God.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do I want to say that my loss and grief is good? No I don’t want to but I trust God that it is. It’s good that because of trials, I’ve been sanctified more. It’s good that because of grief I’ve had to learn to depend more on Him than myself or my husband. It’s good because when I surrender and believe that it’s all His, I’m obedient and He gets the glory.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s good.....because God said so.
It’s good.....because He is sovereign. 
It’s good.....because God is good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is good. It is good. It is good.
