Not by might + Zechariah 4:6 Bible Verse Coloring Page

“Then he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts. 7 Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!'” 8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of...

The one who lifts my head + Psalm 3:3 Spanish and English coloring pages

  Hello again friends! As I explained in my last post, I took the month of December off in an attempt to celebrate the great event that is the birth of our Immanuel.And as best as we could, we did just that. We did most of the things I had hoped we’d do. We were able to read some of our advent devotional (ahem . . . some, but it was great). We crafted with friends. I made hot chocolate...

Simple and fun things I want to try with my kids this advent

Eek! It’s been another year of blogging and I’m excited to share this last post!  So I mentioned that I am taking December off. I did this last year on the advice of another business owner and it was such a blessing. We need the time to rest and fully celebrate this great thing that God has done for us (and all of humanity).  I am not a baker and I don’t go all-out with Christmas decorating. My son...

November 30, 2016 books that shape me•christmas•gift guide•my favorite things

on my Christmas wish list: books!

I just love books and how God uses them to change me. I have to admit I’m not always great at finishing them, but I have great expectations! Here is a collection of books I’d like to read this coming year: A. The Green Ember by SD Smith (comes highly recommended by the Read-Aloud Revival’s Sarah Makenzie). This one is to read with the girls.   B. Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles that Can Radically Change your Family by Paul David...

Artists I admire + my favorite free art you can gift this Christmas

I’m wrapping up my final blog posts of the year and getting ready to take December off from blogging and being a little business owner!  I’m a little obsessed with art (if you haven’t guessed). As soon as we bought our current home, I planned out what I would put on the walls. If I go to your house and you have blank walls, I will probably secretly plan out art to fill your space. I spend a lot...

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow! + As a tree printable coloring page

If you’re an American like me and at all paying attention, you were probably up late last night watching the election results roll in–to your delight, dismay, or bewilderment depending on your point of view (and if you’re grieving today, I’m truly sorry, and please take your time processing).    (This reminds me of how there is a massive construction project carving up a whole hill down the street from our house–a new “luxury living” university student housing development...

Prepping for Saturday's class @friendlycityclay 💕
I recorded today's newsletter as a "pretend podcas I recorded today's newsletter as a "pretend podcast." You can hear me yap about how much I love the story of Frozen, why I think the song "Let it Go" has to be understood in context of the movie's whole story, and what I think that insight has to teach us about good Biblical interpretation.

Jesus Speaks to Women: Mary Magdalene, Part 2 on J Jesus Speaks to Women: Mary Magdalene, Part 2 on John 20:1-18 is posted on Substack! 

Here is some of what I'm pondering:
🖤 what did the death of Jesus mean to Mary?
🖤 why did Jesus meet her first after his resurrection?
🖤 the evidence of the grave linens
🖤 a new type of Eve
🖤 Golgotha has a garden
