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. [...]

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.

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?

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 [...]

Several times today there have been tears because one person wanted to go down the playroom stairs when the other person wanted to go up. Somebody wanted the last raspberry yogurt.

A Light on the Path: Proverbs for Growing Wise by L. J. Sattgast, illustrated by Nancy Munger
I’m always on the lookout for good Christian books for my children. They’re sometimes hard to find. They’re either insipid and shallow or the artwork is terrible. Sometimes the Scripture isn’t exactly used appropriately.
I’m especially interested in books on [...]

What Should I Do First?
Posted by Michelle under: Fear; Wisdom.
Happy Wisdom Wednesday!
Last night baby woke me up briefly, and then I couldn’t get to sleep. Too many things to think about were swirling inside my brain, causing my stomach to tighten and my brain to keep churning.
I finally asked myself, what am I doing wrong here? It took a few minutes to think “What [...]
