    Born for Eternity | A Story of Grace

    Her womb was empty, but so were her arms. At 40 weeks and three days pregnant, Allie and her husband, Jeramy, went to the hospital expecting to meet their healthy firstborn child. Instead, a doctor took Allie's hand and told them the words no parent ever wants to hear: their baby was gone. The young couple faced the devastating reality of infant loss, empty arms, a nursery prepared for a baby who would never come home, and the question every grieving heart asks: Why? But their story is not ultimately about death. It is about the character of God. Through Scripture, prayer, the faithful ministry of their church, and the truth of God's sovereignty, Jeramy and Allie learned to grieve without despair. They discovered that trusting God is more than saying, "God is sovereign." It means believing that truth when the Lord takes away something you desperately wanted to keep. Their journey through grief demonstrates a powerful testimony of God's sustaining grace - and of what it means to say, even through unimaginable sorrow, "It is well with my soul." ________________________ Resources: Safe in the Arms of God by John MacArthur You Are Still a Mother: Hope for Women Grieving a Stillbirth or Miscarriage by Jackie Gibson Trusting God in Trying Times by Don Green Dark Clouds Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament by Mark Vroegop Wait by Smedly Yates  Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.

    Burning Dirty Dishes | Laziness and Idleness

    Idleness is self-focus - seeking to please and serve ourselves. We are called to be diligent and to live quiet, simple lives that glorify and honor God. We are not to be busybodies in our actions or our words, for that is a sign of idleness. Instead, we are to work diligently where God has placed us. We do this so that we represent Christ well to the unbelievers around us and so that others do not have to carry our burdens or pick up our slack. We need to work faithfully and diligently where God has called us, without worrying about what everyone else is doing - or not doing. ________________________ When this is the day  you have a lot on your plate and you're so tempted to check out - to put it off, to get a little "me time" instead of taking on the task at hand, to grumble and complain about all you have to do - pray. Yeah, that's always what we say: pray, pray, and pray again. Pray that God would change your heart, that He would give you a joyful attitude as you work diligently with your hands. ________________________ Resources: Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.

    Lipstick on Teeth | Giving and Receiving Admonishment

    Nobody enjoys correction, but it's necessary for growth in Christ. Join Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker as they consider how to give and receive admonishment/correction, in light of   Psalm 141:5.  David doesn't want even a trace of wickedness to cling to him. He sees wickedness all around him, and his heart is deeply concerned that he not follow that path. He welcomes and even asks for admonishment so that his life may be righteous and holy. He recognizes that God's standard is holiness and that he falls far short of it. He says that admonishment is both a kindness and a source of healing for him. We too should humble ourselves when admonished and take that correction to Scripture and wise counsel. Don't dismiss it too quickly before it has had the chance to do its work. Instead, humbly go before the Lord and allow admonishment to bring about the sanctification it was meant to produce. ________________________ When this is the day  a friend tells you there's lipstick on your teeth, be thankful. A friend isn't telling you that to mock you, embarrass you, or hurt you. They genuinely want to see you grow in the faith, and you likewise should receive admonishment with a humble heart of thanksgiving. ________________________ Resources: Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.

    Sending Good Thoughts | Loving Others in Trials

    Have you ever been in the midst of pain, and someone's words to you caused more hurt, instead of help? We are called to season our words with grace, as Colossians 4:6 instructs, so that we know how to respond to each person. What we say, and how we say it, truly matters. It has the power to heal or to hurt. We speak Scripture to encourage others, but we must use it appropriately, as Ephesians 4:29 teaches, tailoring our words to fit the situation. When unsure of how to respond in a conversation, it's wise to pray for guidance. And if nothing comes to mind, sometimes the best thing to do is simply listen. Often, listening is more comforting than any words we could speak. If we are wise, our words will bring life and refreshment to those who hear them.  ________________________ When this is the day  someone in your life is hurting, remember the power of your words. Proverbs 12:18 warns, "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Let your words be wise, gentle, and full of grace. Speak with sweetness and care, as Proverbs 16:24 says, "Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body." ________________________ Resources: When You See Box Set Board book by Becki Dudley  Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.

    Astronauts, Doctors, and Lawyers, Oh my! | Training Up Children

    What if one of the most influential things you ever do is happening right now in the daily work of raising your children? In this episode, we take a clear and practical look at Proverbs 22:6 and what it means to train children up in the way they should go. Solomon wrote Proverbs to teach his children, reminding us that parents are the primary disciplers, while grandparents, church leaders, and mentors come alongside to reinforce truth. We discuss how children are shaped and imprinted over time through consistent teaching, godly example, correction, and a steady diet of God's Word. This encouraging conversation reminds us that Proverbs 22:6 is a principle - not a guarantee - but faithful parenting is never wasted, no matter the outcome. ________________________ When this is the day you're tired, you have cramps, you have too much to do, and you just want to phone in the day, remember that kids are a gift from the Lord, Psalm 127. And we must steward that gift well.  1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God ________________________ Resources: The Remarkable Bible Word Search Book Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.
