Good Morning Girls Goals

Well yesterday’s assignment for the Good Morning Girls Bible Study was to write out our goals for our study. So I decided to share mine with you here.

  • Become more consistent in my daily walk with God.
  • Become more intentional with my husband and kids.
  • Become more purposeful in everything I say and do.

That’s it…a simple yet very powerful assignment!

Enjoy your day!

One with a Shepherd – Chapter 1

Let me just start off my saying, I am REALLY enjoying this book!

Okay, so clearly I am not going to have enough time or space to share everything I have learned or that has impacted me in some way. I would have to transcribe the whole book and that is plagiarism!

So I decided to share two or three things that impacted me along with a VERY short summary of each chapter!

SUMMARY:

Essentially this chapter talks about the role of women, both young and old through the Titus 2 passage. Then the author applies it to both the older and younger pastors’ wives. (I am obviously a younger pastor’s wife with young children.)

AH HAH THOUGHTS:

1. It was a great reminder that my first ministry is to my husband and children. So many times we (as in pastors’ wives) get bogged down with everything that needs to happen and we forget about the most important treasures God has given to us.

2. Despite all the craziness our own discipline is super important and will also carry over to our own children.

Obviously we know these things…but we sometimes we need reminding AND re-energizing!

Bible Gateway

Did you know that if you have an iPhone or iPad you have the oppurtunity to “purchase” an app that is beyond amazing! Don’t worry if you are an Android patron then your app is on it’s way! Why is it so amazing…..like I would leave you hanging!

  • It has all of the major translations
  • Literally hundreds of bibles in other languages
  • Bible helps (bible dictionaries and commentaries)
  • Bible reading plans (& the ability to share your progress via your choice of social networks)
  • Highlights and notes
  • The ability to contrast different translations right next to each other

And the biggest seller of ALL….

It’s FREEEEEEE!

So here is where you can find it.

One with a Shepherd

It’s no secret…I have been completely open about being a pastor’s wife and quite honestly, I love it…well most of it!

So as my dear hubby has been working so very hard on his Masters of Theology (ThM for short) we (as in our family of six) have embarked on almost every journey to Michigan with him! Well my dear friends my very intelligent hubby graduated this past week and I am so very proud of him! He would have graduated with honors had the school recgnized ThM students who attained honors. Anyway as a thank you they gave all of the graduates wives a gift. It was beautifully wrapped, and it was obviouly a book……oh boy one more book…lol. I don’t really think that way though; I LOVE books!

So as I got back to the camper; I opened it! And the book was: Continue reading “One with a Shepherd”

3 boys 1 girl

Calling all moms with children, who have both boys and girls, and specifically all of one and only one of the other. I need some advice! I have three boys and one daughter…no problem right????? Wrong!!!!   Lady bug does NOT like to share her stuff. She will turn 6 in a few months and is completely capable of sharing her things BUT they are all girly things…dolls, pinks and purple things. You get the picture. Her brothers love to play with her but she just won’t let them any longer. Should I let this continue because this is “girly” stuff OR should I make her share everything?…Just curious what your thoughts are and how you handle such things!
