Welcome Y'all

Hopefully the name of this blog speaks for itself. I envision it being one of humor, exhortation, random musings, theological discussion, sports, and things that impact my life and could bless yours. Sometimes it might be a verse or a funny story, a sports score that has me up in arms or a profound truth that has hit me. I pray you find your visit here blessing your heart.

Blooming into Biblical Womanhood

I have been making hay on my books lately! In fact, I have read 5 more books, a Karen Kingsberry/Gary Smalley series, that aren't even on my list and they were GOOOOOOD! I have already lent them out and she too confirms that they are, indeed, GOOOOOOD! See, I wouldn't lie to you. Well worth the deviation off the list, in my opinion.

I am not totally rabbit trailing off the book list because I did get back into the book Biblical Womanhood in the Home, edited by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. I just read the chapter called "Pruned to Bloom" by P. Bunny Wilson. (Yes, it is Bunny. I wonder what the P. is to make her go by Bunny?) It is (still) an excellent book and the wisdom is so timely. I have been praying and really questioning God about certain things that are going on and this book really hit the nail on the head for me. The Lord really answered specifically about the questions I had been posing to Him all day (and for quite some time) and He did it in this very chapter I read last night. I had been praying for some clarity and some understanding and there He was in black and white. He knew exactly the way the words needed to read in order to slice through the convolutions of my mind and the little cracked pieces of my heart to help me make sense of things. It comforted me and put me at ease for the rest of the evening. It still made sense to me in the morning and allowed me to rest in the knowledge that He Is and that is all I need to know.

Thank you, Lord, that You care enough to send the very best -

But WAY better!!
