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[...]

Holy Week for the Family

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 sup[...]

Word of the Year // 2020

Do you pick a word of the year? I've been using Cultivate What Matters Powersheets for years and the process of choosing a word is one I love. Normally I have a word or saying along with scripture to focus on for the year. This year after a lot of praying and reading and defining of words God allowed me to take a nap and I woke up not knowing what[...]

Law Commanded. Law Fulfilled.

In Exodus, God gives commands to His people. There's over 600 but the most widely known are the Ten Commandments. Then during his ministry, Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, expands on these laws as the people have lived to close to the exact meaning and don't comprehend how the law should change their hearts. In this study, we're going to look at[...]

Prayer Posture

We're taught to bow our heads, maybe fold our hands. Some hold hands or raise them. Others kneel or sit. But does is one posture better than the other? Is one position valued more to God? We know that the last question was rhetorical, right? In 2 Samuel 7:18, we read that King David sat before the Lord.Jesus is quoted in Mark 11:25 that praying sho[...]

Joy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Joy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not something that I thought would be a word I ever used to truly describe life. But this life is a joy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Motherhood // Hard. Exhausting. Hilarious. Edifying. Sanctifying. Frustrating. Loving. Joy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Marriage // Hard. Worth it. Also sanctifying.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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.
They will grow to love what they see us love. They They will grow to love what they see us love. They will witness more of our actions than listen to our words.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How important it is for us to teach our children with actions and words instead of just words.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We must have correct orthodoxy but we must have correct orthopraxy. We must live out the gospel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When our children see us love God in words and action, they will learn more about our faith.
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.
Hold it all up to scripture. This verse from 1 Joh Hold it all up to scripture. This verse from 1 John is reminding us not to believe everything, but to examine it for truth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Discernment and knowledge come in handy here. We can easily spot lies when we know the truth. We see the same word for test, dokimazo, used in Luke 12:56 & Romans 12:2.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
dokimazo: I put to the test, prove, examine 
Original Word: δοκιμάζω⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Part of Speech: Verb⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Transliteration: dokimazo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Phonetic Spelling: (dok-im-ad'-zo)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Definition: to test, by implication to approve
Usage: I put to the test, prove, examine; I distinguish by testing, approve after testing; I am fit

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 !!!
