I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

Blog posts, podcasts, books, videos and other great resources for your weekend reading. @mferrell

To Read:

Receiving Criticism – @Biblical Counseling Coalition

“Through the years of criticism, these are some principles that the Lord has helped me develop to cope in God-honoring ways.”

Ears Wide Open – @Counseling One Another

“So the first questions we need to ask ourselves as we prepare for worship are: Am I ready to listen to the voice of God? Is my heart open to spiritual instruction? Are my ears attentive to the message I will hear from the Bible?”

The Best Kind of Self Care if Care for Others – @Hare Translation Journey

“To our ‘have it your way' American culture, I think we need to be reminded of Paul’s words in 1 Cor 10:24 ‘Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.' The Bible actually tells us to not look out for “number one” but instead to put ourselves aside and look out for the good of those around us. I wonder how our decisions would turn out differently if we took the big ME and MY NEEDS off of our pros and cons list completely.”

Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History – @Desiring God

“She was making a simple point of a careful historian: The beautiful virtues of godly women in early America are easily forgotten because they leave few newsworthy remnants for the historian.”

To Listen:

12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You – FREE Download at Christian Audiobook for the month of January

Guard the Truth – A study in 2 Timothy at Truth for Life

To Watch:

What Does it Mean that God is Sovereign? with R.C. Sproul at WWUTT

Trust Your Bible – Not Your Experience – @Desiring God

For Your Bookshelf:

The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul

ESV Devotional Psalter

(I'm on GoodReads too!)

To Make:

Baker's One Bowl Brownies – Favorite recipe for years – I leave out the nuts and throw in some chocolate chips.

For Your Home:

Intense Body Butter – My go-to moisturizer during our Wisconsin winters. Mandarin Fig is my favorite.

To Ponder:

“Dear friends, we cannot set the world right. We have not the power to persuade or convince multitudes of their errors of doctrine or practice, but we can see to it that we ourselves are walking ‘worthy of God' and letting our light shine so brightly that all may see more plainly the pathway to the Celestial City because we are passing along it.”

~ Susannah Spurgeon

 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

~ Matthew 5:16

How many times does Sunday morning roll around and How many times does Sunday morning roll around and you find your heart in a state of chaos instead of calm to worship the Lord?  How many Sundays do you arrive at church and realize you haven’t taken the time all week to pray for your pastor or your church family? ⁣
⁣
I want to share with you some simple steps we can take to prepare our hearts and the hearts of our families for Sunday morning worship to the Lord. ⁣
⁣
The hope today is to get you to understand the purpose and the mission of the local church and then to move on toward how we can proceed with some simple steps to prepare our hearts and the hearts of our families for Sunday morning worship to the Lord.⁣

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣

~ J. R. Miller, "Secrets of Happy Home Life"

Summer is a natural time for me to get off my rout Summer is a natural time for me to get off my routine of menu planning. In the winter, we're more apt to stick to a schedule, but summer brings about a more flexible and changing calendar. ⁣
⁣
I'm sharing some simple tips that have been a help to me and hopefully, they'll help you in planning your summertime meals. Menu planning is a time and money saver, and I don't know about you, but I would sure like to have more time to enjoy my summer months.⁣
