I got a simple Target planner at the beginning of the year and it was falling apart.  After much thought, I got a new planner... and I LOVE it.  

It is a Passion Planner.  They have an August- July version, January-December version, and an unmarked version (I got the August- July version.)  Y'all have a favorite planner?  I would love to hear about it :) ALSO... here are a few of my must have planner "accessories"

Philippians 4:4-7 says “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; ***do not be anxious about anything***, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Emphasis mine). 

Sometimes I justify my stress, but it is not justified at all, it just shows a lack of faith. This week it took an afternoon full of moment by moment prayer and sometime at a park to let it go and fully trust God!

God is teaching me...

About Discipleship.  As Christians we are all called to it.  

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20

My small group just finished going through a video study called The Anatomy of a Disciple.  It took time to really break down qualities of a disciple.  This fall we are focusing our small group more and in addition to the study of Scripture will be going through the book Growing Up.  This book is al about the practical side of discipleship and I am P.U.M.P.E.D. about it!  Have you read these books?  Interested?  I highly recommend them!

How was your week?

Week Recap

I always get confused when people say summer is so chill. I find that summers are just as full minus the consistent schedule (I could add equals tired kiddos and regular meltdowns). All that to be said summer is still my fave and I am enjoying it!

Finally added a little decor to this wall :)

This big man had his one year check up... and when I say big I mean big coming in at just short of 30 pounds!!!

God is teaching me...

“"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit."”

Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV

May we be firmly planted at the source of life, that we may persevere through trials and bear fruit!

God is teaching me...

Its been a bit of a crazy week for us… but I am reminds me of these two quotes.  Maybe they will encourage you too!

Ministry that costs nothing accomplishes nothing. J.H. Jowett

Earthly possessions dazzle our eyes and delude us into thinking that they can provide security and freedom from anxiety. Yet all the time they are the very source of anxiety. 

The Cost of Discipleship- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

God is teaching me...

I already mentioned that our Bible study is going through Daniel and this week we were in chapter two.  King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream that is stressing him out and he is losing sleep over it.  All the magicians in the land can do nothing to help, so Neb, being the impulsive king that he is says he is going to kill all the Magicians and wisemen in the land.  This included Daniel and his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah (also known as Shadrach, Mishach and Abendigo). Daniel knew God had given him the ability to interpret dreams, but before he does that, he goes to his friends and asks them to "seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery."

Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, and told them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 

Daniel 2:17-18

It got me thinking, how often to I immediately go to friends and family seeking prayer over things?  Definitely something I am going to do more!
