Today I'm thankful for the warmer temperatures we had today.  It's been below freezing with wind chills in the -temps lately. I'm thankful for my wonderful husband who loves me, spoils me, but loves God even more.  I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have a husband that follows the Lord instead of drinking and using drugs!I'm thankful for internet friends.  It's so nice to have Christian

This week’s Homekeeper’s Journal is a Hodgepodge of Thoughts and Ideas! In My Kitchen this week ………Two batches of brownies, homemade pizza, and chili. Foremost in my thoughts this week ……..is my family.  My biological children, parents, and siblings live 1-2 hours south and I miss them terribly!  My oldest (step) daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids live in Arizona, and I've yet to met them face

This week’s Homekeeper’s Journal is all about crafting and creating ………. In My Kitchen this week …… My hubby did most of the work...he made a wonderful chocolate cake, fresh bread, and fried potatoes with eggs.  Yummy! When I think about Crafting/Sewing/Making Things, I want to … Run out to the craft store.  I've got to get started on a project I want to do for my Mother-In-Law. My favorite

 This week’s Homekeeper’s Journal is about TIME…… In My Winter Kitchen its time to ………. Clean and organize the few cabinets I have.  Five to be exact!  With so few cabinets I have to keep them organized and clean.  We have adjusted by putting up four shelves in the laundry room for cleaning supplies, storage containers, and over-stock goods.  I'm also fortunate to have a china cabinet to keep

In my Winter Kitchen… Sadly, just a nice smelling kitchen.  I thought about some gingerbread, but we already have bread pudding and eggnog custard pie my wonderful husband made. : ) The hardest part about Winter for my household is …. Adjusting to the cold weather.  My husband was raised in Arizona, and I'm a Navy brat...having moved to the midwest in my junior high years.  (Of course that was

This is my first participation in this meme, which I found at Christian Women Take Root, check them out!This was taken during one of our many winter storms this year here in the midwest. This storm was supposed to leave us with 2-3 inches. I believe at this point we had already received 4 inches and it was still snowing. We received a total of 8 inches in this particular storm.For more Scenic

This week I've chosen "Until the Whole World Hears" by Casting Crowns. I, personally, feel this should be a life song for all Christians. We should not give up until the whole world hears or our last breath. Christ is the only hope we (and the rest of the world) have.Please head over to Amy's spot - Signs, Wonders, and Miracles for more Then Sings My Soul Saturdays.

I can't believe I've been absent for over a month! Time has really gotten away from me.The day after my last post, my father-in-law passed away suddenly from a massive heart attack. Needles to say, our world was turned upside down. We had to find a way for my honey to get back to Arizona. He spent a week there with his family, trying to grieve and settle some issues. Having this happen has

If you are participating in the Bible in 90 Days challenge, today you are on Day 39 and should have read through the end of page 468 in the Bible in 90 Days Bible or through Psalms 24:10.I'm actually a day behind because I have not done today's reading. I was terribly bad and finished the fiction book I was reading this afternoon, instead of doing my daily Bible reading. *blushing and giving

This week my prayer for my husband is for peace and comfort. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the most painful day in his life. His dear son, Cole, was born asleep.Father,I lift Eddie to You. You know the pain of loosing a child, while I do not. I cannot share in Eddie's pain, only be here when he needs me. Please touch him and fill him with Your Peace and Comfort during this difficult time.

This week's prayer is for understanding what it means to your husband to be a good wife to him. Remember, each person is different, and therefore each marriage has unique needs.Father,I come to You today to ask You to open my heart and mind. Speak to me, tell me what it means to Eddie to be a good wife. Have I missed something? Please give me wisdom in this area and a receiving spirit to hear

Today is day 25 of Read the Bible in 90 Days. Except for today's reading, I'm totally caught up. I did have a couple of days this week where I fell behind due to, well, laziness. But, this week's reading was easy to catch up. David happens to be one of my favorite Bible heroes. Oh, to have a heart like his! Wouldn't you like to be known as a person after God's heart? I know I do.Where do

This week I've chosen "Feel The Nails" by Ray Boltz. This has been done as a special during our worship service several times and it always makes me think and cry. What do you think? Does Jesus feel the nails each time we fail? Oh, how I hope not. I don't know about you, but I fail several times a day. The thought of hurting my Lord and Savior so many times a day brings tears to my eyes.

This week, Lori with The Generous Wife, is encouraging us to grab our spouses and hug them and pray for them, especially when we sense a need. Father,I pray that you will send Your Holy Spirit down and remind me to pray for Eddie more often. Help me sense his needs, his moods, better. I know that the next few weeks will be difficult for him, and I pray that you will send your peace, comfort, and

In this post Mom's Toolbox asks these two questions:1. Why did you decide to read the Bible in 90 days and why are you sticking to it? 2. Have you seen any change in your life as a result of this commitment? If so, what?My answers:I originally decided to take the Read the Bible in 90 days challenge because I wanted to be held accountable for my reading/study periods. I enjoy reading the Bible -

As you can probably tell, I have given up trying to post my thoughts about each days reading. I'm more worried about keeping up with the daily reading. Some days I do real well, and other days I'm just too tired (or whatever is my excuse) to stay on top of things. I have found on those days that the reading is a little "dry", if I read in stages I get more done. Other days I just can't seem

This week's prayer theme is sleep. Please pray that your spouse will have restful sleep and pleasant dreams.Father,I lift Eddie to You. I ask that you provide him with restful sleep periods, allowing him to wake rested and refreshed, ready for a new day. I pray he will be free bad dreams and that You would speak to his heart and mind during these rest periods. Thank You again for bringing

As you can tell, I'm behind in my blogging (as usual!). I am, however, up to date with my reading, which, of course, is what counts!Day three takes us from Genesis 28:20 to Genesis 40:11. Here are some of my thoughts:While things can divert God's will - sins, mistakes, etc. - Nothing can defeat God's will. HE will provide other channels to carry out His ultimate will.

This week's prayer topic came to mind after some deep (and painful) soul searching. When speaking with my husband this past week, I admitted to him that I had not completely submitted all of myself to him. We've been married almost nine years, and I still had a hidden fear of lose or pain may still be coming. Being the wonderful, patient, and kind man that he is, he confessed he knew this.

It's been a very long time since I've been able to participate in Then Sings My Soul Saturday. Oh, how I've missed all the wonderful people and music! My husband and I went without Internet for some time, and now we have dial-up, so uploading anything is next to impossible. So, for now, I will just post the words to some of my favorite songs. Today I've chosen "Open The Eyes of My Heart" (

Day two of Read The Bible in 90 Days takes us from Genesis 17:1 to Genesis 28:19.My thoughts for today's reading:Even those with great faith have moments of doubt. Even Abraham laughed when the Lord told him he would a father of many. This gives me strength as I look toward the future, not knowing what may come, wondering "can it really get worse" and how I will deal with it.Nothing is too

Okay, it's officially the new year, time to "start new" and make resolutions. I don't usually make resolutions upon the new year, as I found earlier in life I'm just not good at long range goals. (you know...loose 25 pounds by a date, organize the house by such and such date...) This year, however, I've make two resolutions.Spend more time with God both in reading/study time as well as prayer

From Keeping The Kingdom First:In Amy’s words, a guest post: Have you ever thought about reading the Bible… the whole thing, from start to finish? I thought about it for years, and even attempted a few times on my own, before I discovered Bible in 90 Days, joined a group at my church and read the whole thing without stopping, cover to cover. I was so blown away by the experience that I offered

Please continue to speak to his heart, guiding him in Your ways. May he bring You glory and honor in all he says and does. In Jesus' most precious name. Amen.But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy

Forgive your husband. Find a quiet spot and prayerfully look through your heart for any areas where you have hard feelings toward your husband. Ask God to help you forgive him. (Realize that forgiveness does not necessarily mean a rebuilding of trust or a settling of important issues, just that you have released him from any debt toward you.)Father,I ask You to search my heart and show me any

These have been bagged and are headed to our church were they will be boxed and sent to one of the missionaries we support. He is collecting items for one of the

This week's subject is peace, which, of course, is one of the Fruits of the Spirit -The fruit of the Spirit is ... peace ... Galatians 5:22 (NIV)I can say honestly, that I usually remember this in my prayers for my husband. : )Father,I lift my husband to you. Please surround him in Your love and fill him with Your peace each and every moment of the day. May Eddie's words and actions be

Wow, I can't believe I've been absent three months, or so.Life here is good. The Lord has provided us with a lower house payment, almost three hundred dollars less a month! This is nothing short of the Glory of God. We were on the verge of losing the house and HE directed me to the right person at the mortgage company, who then rewrote our loan at a three percent lower interest rate. Praise

I don't know about you, but prayer is the one area of my life that needs improvement. Oh, sure, I'm good at praying when things are tough, most of us are. But what about the good times too? While I try to start my prayer sessions praising and thanking God, I know I forget a lot of things. So, in order to strengthen myself in this area, I've decided to make it a weekly topic in my Children's

You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.~John 15:14-15Iris from Grace Alone started this week's Thankful Thursday with the thought that Jesus calls us His friends. I, too, agree that this is something

This week's question ... What time of day do you like to read the Bible? My answer: I like to start the day with at least a chapter. I also like to end the day with as much as I can still read and keep my eyes open. My sound "weird" to some, but I have found that starting my day with scripture helps me keep my focus while I'm at work. I work in a fast food place with a lot of teenagers. So,

How do you balance reading Christian books--bibles, nonfiction, fiction--with your other reading? Does your Christian reading get pushed to the side at times? Why or why not? My answer: I actually just read whatever I have available. Right now I'm about out of Christian non-fiction to read, and my local library has a poor selection and is slow to get them. Since I'm only able to access my email

This week's question:Are you involved in a Bible Study or Sunday School class? Do you want to be? My answer: Yes, I teach the kids Sunday School class - up to age 12. I enjoy it very much. I just recently stepped down from doing Children's Church as well. I need to take some time to be fed and refreshed as I have been doing both for over two years now.

What do you think is the best starting place for those that are new to reading the Bible or for those wanting to get reacquainted with the Word?My answer:I definitely agree with Becky on this one:The Gospel of John!

How is your Bible reading going? Are you meeting the goals you set earlier in the year? If you chose to go with a Bible reading plan, how is that going for you? Are you sticking with it? Have you experienced any setbacks along the way? Have you made Bible-reading a habit, a discipline? What have you learned along the way? Do you have any words of wisdom you'd like to share? My answer:My Bible

Do you like to talk about the Bible with other people? Do you like to have biblical discussions? debates? arguments? passionate ramblings?I love to discuss the Bible, mostly with my husband or the kids at church. I'm not very good at debating, and definitely do not want to argue, since I sometimes feel like my knowledge is too poor, always wanting more. Passionate ramblings? More with myself,

This week's question...this week's question comes from Worthwhile Books.At what age did you earnestly start to read the Scriptures? What motivated you? My answer: Honestly, not until I was almost 40.This is part of my testimony, but...On March 31, 1999, the house my boys and I were living in at the time caught fire. (believed to be faulty wiring in the kitchen). My youngest son, then 13, was

Just wanted to leave a little note, just in case anyone still come by here.My husband lost his job a month ago, and we have disconnected the cable and the internet for now. I can pop in from time to time from the library or church, but it won't be consistent. Praise the Lord for His provisions. We can have to tighten our belts, so to speak, but have been able to get by.

This week I'm doing something a little different. Hubby and I have had a rough week, not relationship wise, but emotionally and financially. The enemy is working overtime in St. Joseph, MO! Anyway, I thank the Lord each day for bringing Eddie into my life. He was the first to treat me like a person, a person of worth. He is my hero, the one I look to for strength and guidance here on earth.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 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. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who

What are you thankful for this week? Have you taken time to count your blessings lately?My answer:I try to participate in "Thankful Thursday" each week to publicly share my blessings. I also try to remember to thank the Lord for each blessing He gives us - from the big unexpected ones to the every day, ie: a roof over our heads, food to eat and the very air we breathe.

How about a question about questions this week. What kinds of questions--if any--do you want to see asked for this Question of the Week feature? Are there any kinds of questions you don't want asked? Is the lack of participation due to bad questions? Are my questions too shallow? too deep? too personal? too irrelevant? too repetitive? too mindless? too boring? If you want Question of the Week

Do you like to read different translations of the Bible? Why or why not? Do you have one dependable and/or beloved translation that you use all the time? Or do you like to keep things fresh by adding different translations to your rotation?My answer:I do like reading different translations of the Bible. I think this helps me grasp what the author is saying. Some translations are more of a song,

I really like Randy Travis, and his song "3 Wooden Crosses" always chokes me up! So, if you are a weeper, like me, have some kleenex handy!I dedicate this to all moms!

As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” Isaiah ~ 66:13Perfect topic as this Sunday is Mother's Day. One of the many things I'm thankful for in this life is my own mother. I don't get to see her, or talk with her, as much as I'd like. You'd think as a mom myself it wouldn't bother me too much.

Spiritual insights. Realizations. These little insights "aha" moments can pop up anywhere and everywhere as you're living life. And they can often be found in unexpected places: Life. Music. Books. Movies. TV Shows. Family. Friends. What have you learned (realized) lately?My answer:I've thought on this question for over a day, and just can't come up with much. How sad is that? The only thing

This week I've chosen "You Are Everything" by Matthew West. I love this artist, and this song touched me deeply today. We (like most people these days) are still struggling to get our bills caught up and just put food on the table. But, in the end, all that matters is our relationship with God. HE is our everything!

What's your worship style? Do you prefer hymns or praise songs and choruses? Or perhaps a blend of the two? Do you have a favorite hymn or two that uplifts you? How about praise songs? Do you have any favorites?My answer:Uplifting praise music would be my favorite, but I like all forms of worship music. I have so many "favorites", I couldn't possibly list them all. I think my top hymn would be

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6Today Laurie at Women Taking A Stand talked about courage. I, too, had the same thought. Me, courageous? No way!

For quite some time now, I've been whining to the Lord: "I'm burnt out Lord, I need to be fed." You see, I teach Sunday School and Children's Church. Due to transportation problems, I'm not able to attend Wednesday night study, and our church is so small we have not had a Sunday evening service for some time.Our God is alive and faithful! We had our first Sunday evening service in over two

To celebrate the fact that my favorite group, Casting Crowns received the Group of the Year Dove Award, I'm posting the first song I ever heard from them: Who Am I. Please stop and think about the lyrics to this one. Whenever I think I'm not good enough to do (insert your own phrase here), I remember this song.

For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all

This one may seem a bit out of place, but I'm going for it anyway. Do you participate in reading challenges? Why or why not? Would you be interested in participating in more reading challenges? Perhaps Christian-related reading challenges. Perhaps Bible-related reading challenges. I've been contemplating having mini-challenges--nothing certain, nothing planned out yet. And I was curious if they'd

Today I've chosen "The Word is Alive" by Casting Crowns. This one reflects how I've felt this week. So many things change day to day in our world, but The Word stands yesterday, today and tomorrow. No matter what this world throws at us, God will get us through it, Hallelu Yah!

Do you listen to the Bible on audio? Why? Why not? Do you have a favorite audio edition? Do you prefer dramatized editions or voice only editions? Do you have any you'd recommend?My answer:I have yet to find one that could hold my attention. I'm not sure why. I guess because when I'm reading the Bible I have a tendency to stop and reread sections, or just stop and focus on them. With an audio

Sorry, I just couldn't resist the question.Those that know me, know I don't cook very often. My hubby and I agreed before we got married that he would cook, I would clean.

Do you have a favorite biblical film? If you don't have a favorite film, do you have a least favorite?My answer:I agree with Becky on this one. The Gospel of John is my absolute favorite. John is also my favorite of the Gospels, so, as Becky said, that could be an influence. If you've seen the movie, you know that this film is very well done. It follows the text, as well as quotes the text,

Do you listen to Christian music? Why or why not? Do you only listen to Christian music? Do you have any favorite artists? A favorite album? A favorite song? Which artist(s) would you recommend to others? Why?My answer:Yes, definitely listen to Christian music. Why? It can lift me when I'm feeling down or blue. No, I don't listen to Christian music only. I enjoy many different types of music.

Do you ever find yourself conflicted when reading books--does your faith ever stand in the way of you 'enjoying' other books--secular books? Do you try to read only Christian books? Do you read 'secular' books regularly? Have you ever enjoyed a book but hesitated to share it with your Christian friends? Do you think you should judge a book critically looking through the lens of faith...or do you
