Faith in the Valley: When Joy Comes Back
To start with, here’s the debrief e-mail that I sent out to those attending on Tuesdays because I think it had a couple good points for those of you following online. Thanks for another great discussion. Honestly, I felt a little discombobulated today and was having all my epiphanies DURING the discussion rather than before it,…Continue reading Faith in the Valley: When Joy Comes Back
Faith in the Valley: Naomi and Coming Home Empty
After our knock-down, drag-out with Hagar, Abram, and Sarai last week, I admit that I was eager for an “easy” match-making, love-story about Naomi, sweet Ruth, and honorable Boaz. Aren’t they precious? I’m gonna include the Scripture from the NIV in the text again. It will make for a long print, but you can cut…Continue reading Faith in the Valley: Naomi and Coming Home Empty
Faith in the Valley: Hagar and the Desert
Last week rocked. Jeremy and I had the chance to go to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last weekend before our much delayed Faith in the Valley meeting on Tuesday, so let me tell you, I’m still all “Go, go, go Joseph!” (That’s one of the songs.) Sitting down talking through the Joseph story was…Continue reading Faith in the Valley: Hagar and the Desert
Dream Deferred: Faith in the Valley Week 1
It’s Week 1 of Faith in the Valley. If you’re following along online, you could journal on each of the questions below after reading the chapters in Genesis about Joseph. If you are coming to the Tuesday meetings, we will only discuss a SMALL portion of what is below. Please read and print out this…Continue reading Dream Deferred: Faith in the Valley Week 1
What is Valley Faith?
Thank goodness that a batch of ice came flying through NC in time to postpone my first meeting of Faith in the Valley! I am desperately needing to figure out what I actually mean by FAITH IN THE VALLEY? What is it? Who has it? Is it good? Is it bad? How do I get it? The idea of…Continue reading What is Valley Faith?
Mom Homework Fail and a Lent Lesson
Last week I found out that my middle child, my darling son, has been lying to me all year about his homework. When he told me on a daily basis that he had finished his homework or had none, I believed him. However, after a while, my tiny mind awoke from its slumber to ask…Continue reading Mom Homework Fail and a Lent Lesson
Faith in the Valley (FREE CHILDCARE!!)
Yesterday I posted about the new You Go Girl! Study Faith in the Valley, which begins next Tuesday. This morning, my awesome mother (grandmother of 11) offered to have FREE CHILDCARE at her house , .25 miles from mine, while we meet. SO NOW YOU HAVE NO TINY, WHINEY EXCUSES! 🙂 If you are sharing…Continue reading Faith in the Valley (FREE CHILDCARE!!)
Faith in the Valley
HI FRIENDS!! I miss you guys. I miss writing. But this season of life has just been really full of, um, not writing. Oh well. The bleak mid-winter is definitely the time of year when I start craving people because being trapped inside (and with sick kids) leads me to an indescribable mania. Can I…Continue reading Faith in the Valley
Being Careful & Being Friends
This morning I had to walk my kids into school because they were tardy. This is because I made them do absurd and unusual tasks, such as brushing their teeth, clearing their cereal bowls, and putting on their shoes. I truly am unreasonable . After writing “Slowpokes” as “Reason for Tardy” in the log, I…Continue reading Being Careful & Being Friends
