We are a group of women, specifically young moms, striving to have a daily personal devotional and prayer time. Weekly Scripture reading and resources to help you grow are found on this site.
Sorry, life has been busy. I knew I had missed posting last week, but didn’t realize I had missed the week before too. Wow! So to sum up: May 10 (James 5:1-6) – We talked a lot about the balance of living wisely and being financially responsible (saving for our futures) and the warning about [...]
What a great day, with great ladies! The John verses were great to talk through today. All of us agreed it was hard to read these verses and not focus on the fact that Jesus, who was fully aware Judas would betray him, still washed Judas’ feet!! Can’t say I would do to same to [...]
Planning-Do we do it or not? We talked a lot about the first 3 verses in this section. Is it ok to plan and be excited for future events (trips, children)? Isn’t it responsible to plan your time so you are not wasting it? Some of the questions we wrestled with this week and today. [...]
Some days the kids win and some days the adults win. Today was a kids winning day. I can’t say the conversation was as deep as it has ever been, but it was SO good to be back together. (I think the kids thought that too! Maybe that is why they were so loud.) However [...]
Catching up with friends and just relaxing. Too many kiddos with colds kept many mommies home. We will talk about James 4:7-12 next week. Praying for healthy families!!
What you missed…several tangents that somehow related to the Scripture, but they were all great. I love it when that happens. Wouldn’t you love to see exactly what was happening in the area around where the Scripture takes place? What were those quarrels and fights about? James uses some “harsh” words in this section, but [...]
James is really not holding anything back. He is telling it like it is, with only the facts. Either you have Godly wisdom or you have wisdom from the devil. There is no in between. As we talked it made us realized the importance of confession, the blessing of the grace of God and the [...]
More about taming the tongue…Why is such a little thing so hard to do? We praise and curse with the same tongue. They don’t belong together and they shouldn’t be done together, but we do. As Pastor Matt said on Sunday (once again paraphrased) this is one of those things that no one can do [...]
Oh, those little things that make such a big difference! The tongue, we hardly see it or notice it even, but what would we do without it? We wouldn’t be able to speak for one thing. Would that be better or worse? We spent some time talking about the teachers of the time. Teaching in [...]
Great verses! Taking the time to think back to the times Abraham had strong faith (leaving his country, being willing to sacrifice Isaac) and times he didn’t (calling Sarah his sister – twice – to save his behind, having Ishmael in order to receive the promise) was really good. And the fact he was called [...]
