Sunday Seven
- Bible reading is part of a surrendered life. This week on the blog I will propose why this is not as hard as some may think but it is part of a life Jesus modeled for us.
- Some women have the power to elevate us from the mundane to the Divine. This week I write on the blog about my "one-woman retreat," an idea I received from a great woman of God I never met in person.
- Family is where I'm rooted. Thank God for the purpose, growing pains, and joys that family life brings. I am deeply grateful to God for His brilliance in planting us in families.
- Marital love is nurturing. I learned this week how nurtured I feel when spending time with my husband. Our interactions this week filled my heart with so much goodness. I am grateful for the steadfast character of Zeke's love for me.
- The kids are growing. I always thought I should grow and mature as well. Why stay the same if God wants me to grow? "Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious." I Peter 2:1-3
- Change is not costly. Change is a privilege. Staying the same, in my case, suffering the side effects of ill health, is costly.
- If I say 'I changed,' you can believe it. I do not have to sacrifice my morals and integrity for you to believe what I say. I live in a world where some quickly leave excellence of virtuous character for the filthiness of sin. I say this standing in the grace and truth of God who wants virtue to flow from our lives, not the vulgar.
