In Everything Give Thanks

i found you!

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  I Thessalonians 5:18 With Thanksgiving just about a month away, I thought this was a great time to take part in the blog project at Faithful Bloggers.  This project is centered on "in everything give thanks." There are always challenges in life.  The car breaks down, your kids are not behaving as you … [Read more...]

Courageous Movie and a Lesson

Happy is to be together

Yesterday, my husband and I went to see the "Courageous" movie.  It's another one in the line of movies written and directed by Alex and Stephen Kendrick. You can see as the movies go along that they get more professional and sophisticated.  At times, the acting still seems amateurish but it has definitely improved. However, the reason we go to see them is not for the acting or special … [Read more...]

Work is Necessary and Good

"In all labor there is profit."  Prov. 14:23 I have been asked several times what kind of business can be started that doesn't take too much time or money to get started.   It kind of leaves me wondering "why?"  Why don't people want to work? We are told in the above verse that we profit from labor.  That might not always mean a financial profit - sometimes it does - but what other … [Read more...]

Ask For God’s Wisdom

Do you ask for God's wisdom in your decisions?  God says "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."  James 1:5 The above verse doesn't just apply to the "big" decisions in our lives, but to every day decisions as well.  Are you thinking of starting a business?  Ask God for His wisdom whether this is the … [Read more...]

A New Website

As I told my newsletter subscribers this week, I am redesigning my website.   I feel like it's kind of outdated, so I will be switching it over to a Wordpress site and I need your input! I have a very short survey (only 7 questions) that will only take you a minute to fill out.  And it would really help me out:-) As I redesign my site, I want to make it good for YOU.  What kinds of … [Read more...]

A Free Directory

I thought it would be fun to do another "Freebie Friday."  Today, it's a directory put out by The Old Schoolhouse.  If you aren't familiar with them, they are a homeschooling resource - they have a print magazine, a website, a store and lots of helps for homeschoolers. Even if you aren't a homeschooler, don't pass this up.  The Old Schoolhouse put out a directory (and it's free!) that lists … [Read more...]

Do You Need To Change Something?

I had to write today about a topic that was mentioned yesterday in the sermon at church.   The speaker talked about living our purpose and being effective in it. If we are not being effective in our purpose, then we need to change something.  It might be to take a different direction; it might be to go basically in the same direction, but do things a little differently.  Let's relate this … [Read more...]
