That’s why [...]

Here’s an encouraging testimony from the metro moms blog. It was so refreshing to be reminded that although we discipline and train our children, we desperately need and rely on the power of God Himself to work in our children. This testimony also gave me hope for God’s work in my heart!!!!

I am taking a break from the 2 year Bible plan (Lord willing I’ll finish it someday to take look at women in Scripture. Not using a commentary or book study right away, but I would like to read “Twelve Extraordinary Women” as well as do more in depth studies on individual women. [...]

I have been a Christian for a number of years and never have been able to stick to a Bible reading plan. Last year however, I was amazed at God’s grace enabling me to stick with a plan! I used Discipleship Journal’s reading plan. I completed the first 3 columns, but omitted the last column, [...]
