He is.These words seem like a twin phrase to "but God" which has shown up over and over in my Bible study this year.Because "he is" in every circumstance around us, he can take what seems for our harm and reverse it to a "but God."Often my eyes and heart remain closed to what is happening around me and days, weeks, or months later, I learn how God has worked something ugly or confusing for good.When I become aware of this, I learn once again that the wisdom of man isn't wise at all, and I need … [Read more...]
The Original Bachelorette
A few weeks ago, I finished studying the Old Testament book of Ruth with She Reads Truth.

Gosh, just writing all that down makes me feel jittery and nervous.I gave it all up after the last … [Read more...]
I Hope You Say Yes!
Hello, sweeties!I have mentioned before that I have been studying along with the girls at She Reads Truth for several months now. Learning new things, filling notebooks with notes, and seeing scripture in a new way has been so good for me.If we aren't careful, we can get in a Bible study slump....or maybe that is just me....and She Reads Truth and all the comments have rekindled a little fire in me.Big things have been happening over there, including a Kickstarter project to fund a She Reads … [Read more...]
