A Critical Spirit
Posted by Michelle under: Uncategorized; Wisdom.
The other day I was feeling ashamed because I had been critical in the course of a conversation. The Lord brought to mind several passages that I’ve been thinking about and trying to put into practice.
A lady I used to ride to church with had an admirable trait of knowing something good about everyone. My [...]

Wisdom Project Followup
Posted by Michelle under: Communication and Meaning; Wisdom.
Biblical wisdom isn’t knowing how to make half a dozen young children stand in a straight line, and sit in their chairs quietly while you get your hair cut. Wisdom isn’t the same thing as good advice from a godly friend. Biblical wisdom comes from God’s Word. In fact, Jesus reminds us that a wise [...]

Wisdom Project
Posted by Michelle under: Communication and Meaning; Wisdom.
Sometimes in the mornings, I read the Bible to my children. Last week, I decided that I wanted to focus on wisdom, and I got a good idea.
I had some old posterboard that I pulled out and I drew three columns, labeling each column: wise, simple, foolish. Since King Solomon said that finding wisdom was [...]

Find the Answers You Need Here
Posted by Michelle under: Wisdom.
I’m not sure I communicated well the significance of what happened in the incident I wrote about yesterday.
I realized I had a question/ problem I didn’t know what to do about.
I started looking for a solution by doing an internet search.
I became dissatisfied with the information I found.
I turned my thoughts [...]

A New Creature
Posted by Michelle under: Getting Along; Salvation; Wisdom.
We’ve found a few mourning cloak caterpillars a few weeks ago that quickly pupated upon capture. We’ve been waiting and this morning one came out dramatically.
Such a memorable event might very well stay with them for a long time; thus, it is a good opportunity to teach them an important spiritual truth along with it. [...]

Planning, Contentment, and Delight
Posted by Michelle under: Military Life; Wisdom.
Today’s Wisdom Wednesday post is a guest post by Carrie Boyer, a friend of mine here in New Mexico. When she started sharing with me some of the things that God has been teaching her, I thought it might be a blessing for you to hear from her.
Lately I’ve been struggling with making some important [...]

“That’s Not Fair”
Posted by Michelle under: Wisdom.
This afternoon David said “It’s not fair that Daddy has more airplane books than I do.”
I smiled, and then was determined not to lecture, but instead to ask questions and keep the conversation going.
So I asked why he thought it unfair. Not a brilliant question, because of course he didn’t know. Still, it gave me [...]

What Mean These Stones?
Posted by Michelle under: Wisdom.
And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, [...]

Drawing a Blank
Posted by Michelle under: Wisdom.
As I sit thinking about Wisdom Wednesday, I’m asking myself: How are you different this week because of Scripture? How is God’s Word changing you this week?
My answer? Uhmmm… I don’t know.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been preoccupied with Easter. Maybe I’m worried about teaching my daughters obedience and feeling like I could do a better [...]

The Fruit of Holiness
Posted by Michelle under: Introspection; Wisdom.
I’ve been poking through Deuteronomy on the ESV chronological plan, and as I told Lee, sometimes ending up with more questions than answers. This week, the Wisdom Wednesday comes from our Sunday school lesson, which has been challenging to me. Here is what we were reading:
I speak after the manner of men because of the [...]
