Bible Resources

10.27.17

 I am currently studying 1, 2, and 3 John using ABIDE by Jen Wilkin. She is a wonderful teacher. Knowledgable of God's Word and determined to encourage and equip women to study the Bible. I did her Hebrews study last year and it was fantastic. It challenged me to use my brain when reading Scripture. It pushed me to not only rely on someone else's knowledge of Scripture, but to love God with my mind. I will post a couple links below if you are interested in checking out the studies she has available.

making a not-so-joyous thing, a joy

Oh, housekeeping Why can't I be like the girls who have this innate love for keeping a home tidy? Why can't I be one of those women who just naturally love doing dishes and laundry and dusting and ...? Why can't I enjoy being organized and neat? I can only find one word to answer those questions. Sanctification. I married a man, who I adore, who loves to have a clean house that is not cluttered. I, however, do not seem to have the same affection for a tidy home. Now, don't get me wrong it feels good when our house is clean and put together the way it should be, but it doesn't get under my skin when it's not. For my husband, that is not the case. This is one of the many ways God is sanctifying us. I know myself - I am 100% an extrovert who loves people and make being with people the priority. If I have the choice of spending time with people I will choose it over any other option in most situations. While this is one of my greatest strengths it is ver...

the early days

What a whirlwind week. Oliver arrived 10 days early and the last 4 days have been the beginning of a lifelong journey that Matt and I have been looking forward to for the last 9 months. Parenting our sweet boy. It has been incredible. I just nursed him and he is sleeping soundly and as I watch him I am in awe. In awe that God formed him, knows him, is pursuing him even now, and finally entrusted him to us. Just...wow.  [pause. the sweet one I was just talking about has just filled his diaper and this mama has a job to do...5 minutes and one dirty diaper later, we're back.] Let the sap continue...... He's perfect! Trust me, I know he's not really  perfect, but I understand that love a parent has for a child now and for just a little while I want to revel in the illusion that he's perfect. I think that's all I'll write for now. I do have pictures to share from our first few days. Oliver Graeme Turley 9/22/13 at 12:57 am first family photo ...

psalm 46:10

Just a short post about how God showed up today. This morning I was packing Matt's lunch and was quickly (because I'm always running late) writing the index card that goes in his lunch. Each card contains a verse from somewhere in the Bible and a note from me for the day. This morning, as well as many other mornings, I use the verse of the day from my iPod YouVersion app. The verse for today was Psalm 46:10... Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on the earth I wrote it down, stuck in his lunch box, and didn't think another thing about it. Until... I was reading some information about PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). In 2009 I went to my doctor for the first time and while explaining some symptoms she looked at me and said based on what I'd been explaining I likely had PCOS. At the time all she told me about it is that it might make it harder to get pregnant. In 2009 I was single and while I had the hope of m...
