In the Potter's Hand
The Lord occasionally places little reminders in my life: that in His eyes, I am the clay and He is the Potter. Within a week's time, I read Isaiah 64:8, a random blog post on Isaiah 64:8, and heard a sermon on Jeremiah 18 (oh, did I mention that Isaiah 64:8 was a reference my pastor used in that sermon?).
I don't think it was of any coincidence that God formed the first man out of the dust of the earth and then used the analogy of us being but clay, the work of His hand. But sometimes I need...

The Armor of God - SALVATION | Ephesians Study
Ephesians 6:17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
The next piece of armor is the helmet (4030 perikephalaia; encirclement of the head, i.e. a helmet:) of salvation (4992 soterion; defender or (by implication) defence:). Our head is not protected by ourselves. Instead, our head is encircled by salvation - which comes from Jesus Christ.
This concept reminds me of the references to Christ as the Head of the church."Jesus saith unto them, Did ye...

Author Interview | Sarah Holman
For the past few months, I've been praying about doing some interviews/guest posts on here. Today, I am excited to have our first interview with stay-at-home author, Sarah Holman.
Me: When did you begin writing/know that you would be an author?Sarah: Well, I started writing when I was eleven and thought I would always keep it as a hobby. While I had planned since I was in my early teens to be a nurse. However, because of some health challenges I was having, I realized I would not have the ener...

"Be Ye" (part 2 of 2)
Read part 1 here
In my study of "Be ye" I came across verses that commanded what we should NOT be.
Be Ye Not1) Be ye not stiffneckedNow be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the Lord, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. 2 Chronicles 30:8
2) Be ye (not) sorry/grievedThen he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portio...

Writing Website
I promise that I'm not addicted to making new websites! Perhaps a little too overly organized, but not addicted. ;) I present to you my writing website: www.amandatero.weebly.com.

Lord willing, I will be setting up a table at the Louisiana Homeschool (CHEF) Conference for With a Joyful Noise in April. While doing so, Mom suggested that I print up some of the short stories that the Lord has allowed me to pen in the past few years to sell there. And while doing so, why not have a place that...

B&W with Color | Photoshop tutorial
Here is one look that I recently tried in my editing:
I showed it to a friend and she was interested in knowing how it was done. This is SO easy!
For this tutorial, I'm using Photoshop Elements 6.0 (due to some computer issues, I'm back down to an older version for now).
First, open your image in Photoshop.
Duplicate the layer.
If you'd like, name your new layer.
Be sure your top layer is selected.
Then go to "Create." Here, you want to lower the saturation to be none (under "Color").
Go back to your...

"Be Ye" - Commands for God's Children
A couple of days ago, I was reviewing some memory verses and found the phrase "be ye" in a few verses. I thought it would be interesting to do a study and see how many times we are commanded to "be ye." Some of these commands were given to specific people for specific instances, but I believe that we can still apply these commands as believers.
1) Be ye fruitfulAnd you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply the...

Word Wednesday #44
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. (1 John 5:12)
Today we like to say, "You haven't lived until you've done (or tried) _______." Of course, that is just a saying. But the truth is: we have not lived until we have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior.
