"When the House is Built"

Some of you probably laughed when you read this title--or maybe you rolled your eyes. Yes, this is the #1 Tero phrase going around right now.
"When the house is built, we'll have to have you over."
"When the house is built, maybe we can meet up for coffee."
"When the house is built, we'll plan on that."
"When the house is built, we'll have some free time!"
"When the house is built..." 
You name it. Almost everything has been tagged onto that one phrase.
It is best to accept the long house-buil...

But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.  Hosea 1:7

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.  Psalms 71:16
Reminder after reminder of having the Lord as our strength, the Lord a...

Biblially Speaking - adultery (whoredom, remarriage after defilement)

Part 6 in my study on what is abomination in the sight of God.
Recap:Many believers have fallen into accepting that which is abomination in the sight of God. Unless we study God's Word to learn His Mind on what is abominable, how will we know to purge ourselves from abomination? Lord willing, I will be posting the fruits of my study on the word "abomination," but feel free to leap ahead of me and study it for yourself. What is an abomination to God?

Word Wednesday #84

Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.  Daniel 6:10
The laws of the land did naught to diminish Daniel's faithfulness to God. We are seeing the days where the U.S. may change laws for believers' freedom--will it dampen our open service to God?

After I did Kayla's photoshoot, her mom contacted me about taking family pictures. I so enjoyed my time with this family! They are all quite photogenic and had fun ideas! We'll not mention little Cooper who practically stole the show. ;)

Books for Christian Girls blog | Interview

A few months ago, I stumbled across a blog that has become one of my favorites to look at for book reviews. The blog is "Books for Christian Girls" run by Lindsey. Today, Lindsey has graciously joined me in an interview.


Me: What inspired you to start "Books for Christian Girls?"Lindsey: It was definitely a God thing! About three years ago, I had first searched "Christian books for teen girls" on Google trying to find books that I could read! I had already read all of Melody Carlson's tee...

Trim Healthy Mama Plan | Book Review

This book is not meant to be read straight through, but little-by-little as the reader experiments with what they are learning. Since I was already familiar with how THM works, I did read it straight through. Pearl and Serene have a very easy-going style that doesn't make one feel pressured to follow their plan to a "T" however the book feels very educational, with learning how your body processes different food types. 
The main gist behind THM is eating fats and carbs separately, giving...

Word Wednesday #83

Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.  Ezekiel 43:26

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  1 John 1:9
So thankful that, because of Christ's blood, cleansing is no longer a process but a simple moment of confessing sings.
