Matthew 4. Jesus was tempted. While reading this section, all I could think of was this being taught to a class of small children. When Satan would give his tempting offer, the children in my head would say "boooooo!" remembering that Satan is not our friend. And when Jesus would respond with a Scripture verse, the children call out "Go Jesus!" because they knew He was the good guy in this story! However silly it may be for me to imagine little children running around in my head, I think it helped me emphasis the key thoughts in this passage.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to start posting my notes, ideas, and etcetera about a book I was required to read for my General Psychology class. 2019 is here and now we begin! First, I must say I am so thankful for my instructor for this class as she did a wonderful job making Psychology not just a general ed class, but a class with an applicable and biblical approach! And so, that being said, we begin the journey in being Changed Into His Image (Jim Berg). I was sitting and talking with a friend of mine a few days ago and was also reading through some of my older writings. I have decided to share this one with you. It isn't long. It isn't fancy. Just a sincere prayer from my heart. Praying the Lord will use it to bless your precious heart today! :)
I recently found a self evaluation in the dust jacket of a Bible commentary I was reading; I decided to type it out and share it with you!
Pumpkins! Leaves! Oh, I LOVE this time of year!! :) Of course, school has begun and schedules seem to be overflowing with things to do, places to go. Not to mention all the extra stuff thrown in every day! (Do we ever get a break?!) Anyway, whether you call it Autumn or Fall, IT'S COMING and it is most definitely my favorite time of year! Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night thinking? Thinking about that task you weren’t able to complete the day before or all the things that you need to accomplish in the next? Are you ever not able to stop the wheels from turning inside your head? The train of thought just won't put on the breaks and let you rest? There are many nights like this for me. I don't sleep well. Nighttime can be as stressful for me as the day. I could sleep for six hours or I could end up with only 2.
What do you do when you feel everything is happening all at once? “Everything” can consist of SO MANY THINGS- excitement, frustration, grieving, contentment. It can leave us feeling as though we have nothing left.
I thought I'd start posting some of my other writing, such as poems, as well as my other blog posts. :) Please let me know what you think!
