Book Metaphors

I came across an entry in one of my notebooks, and it was good to be reminded that God is the Author of life, and He knows how to write and finish good stories. When life happens and things change, whether we like those things or not, we need to turn the page. And...

Looking Back Again

Round about a year ago, I was looking for a new job, a new place to live, and a new direction in my life. Now I have two jobs, a place to live, and enough direction to figure out where I should probably head from here. I'm probably going to sound like a broken record...

New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

Green Pastas and a Special Diet

The 2 and 3 year old class combined with the 4 and 5 year old class last night. We learned about God being our Good Shepherd, and the kids are learning to say Psalm 23. They're on verse 2. When it came time to recite this verse, there were variations on the wording....

Good Friendships

In a friendship, the people involved should both be changing for the better (Proverbs 27:17 & 19). If God isn't in your friendship, it either won't last or it will pull you down. Surround yourself with good, godly people. Let their good habits rub off on you. Strive...

Receiving What You Asked For

So my last post talked about asking to receive. God has recently gently reminded me that the receiving part of what you asked for isn't about you getting something. You are receiving for you to be better, yes, but it isn't really about you. It is about God using you....

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

In the Bible it says that if you need or want something you can ask God for it. He knows what you need (Matthew 6:31-33). When you ask God for something, you need to ask believing you will receive it (James 1:5-6). But when asking for something, you need to ask for...
