Empty, Glittery Reflections – The Living Proverbs 31 Linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Driving down to my mom’s one afternoon I noticed all these houses with windows totally lit up. They were shining and sparkly as the sun’s rays bounced off of them. They looked so pretty on the outside. But, they were empty, glittery reflections. Driving home I noticed those same houses. This time however, there were no empty glittery reflections, just cold dark panes. Here and there a house was lit from the inside and those windows shone with a warm […]

Truth or Tradition – Which one Wins in Your Life? +linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
It was an interesting evening in bible study. The phrase truth or tradition came up, and one person made the statement that even when presented with facts and proof of the truth, most people continue in tradition. This led us to look at various things in our own lives that we hold as truth. Were these things truth according to the bible, or only a tradition held so long we no longer even knew why we did it? It’s a […]

One of the downfalls of Jason’s new job is that they don’t directly provide us with health insurance. Instead they give us a stipend and we have to find our own insurance. After a bit of looking around and Comparing Christian Health Insurances we found one that fits us. Before I share what I discovered from comparing christian health insurances, I want to share what we had from his earlier company. Our old insurance was a high deductible plan paired […]

My Heart Hurts ~When “Christians” aren’t Christ-Like
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
When I take a good look at humanity, my heart hurts. Especially the humanity that can show itself online. There is no filter, the thoughts of their hearts spew out in black and white for the whole world to see. Anger, rage, envy, jealousy, judgement, it’s all there. I will read an article that really speaks to my heart, maybe I will share it with others, maybe I won’t, but in the comments comes the reflection of humanity. An what […]

Why is it that we as a culture and especially us women tear each other down? It’s like this huge contest of who is right and who is wrong. No more do we “prefer one another” it’s every man for himself; in thoughts, words, and actions. I want to challenge myself and you readers to “speak no evil”. Remember the 3 monkeys? The ones that say “Hear no evil” “See no evil” and “Speak no evil”? In this day […]

Would I Stand Strong in Persecution?
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
The recent happenings in the middle east where Christians are fleeing for their lives and dying for the sake of Christ has me doing some pretty deep thinking. I found myself wondering, “would I stand strong in persecution?” Do I have the type of deep seeded faith that would help me stand up for Christ? I had read of a man whom according to the reporter was forced to say “there is no god but Allah” in order to save […]

Give us clear vision, that we may know where to stand and what to stand for – because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. ~ Peter Marshall, US Senate Chaplain 1947 Have you ever looked at yourself and asked “What do I stand for?” Have you ever seriously considered what your actions are telling the world? Sometimes I just go along with the flow and forget, that I as a Christian truly do stand for something […]

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again. Life is pretty simple when you take the bible at face value. What it says is what God wants you to know. So today I’m talking about serving one another in love. Particularly serving in the way of washing feet. Our fellowship has an interesting and very unique communion service. It is actually a full weekend thing. With services Saturday morning and afternoon, and a devotional service early Sunday […]
Dust of the Earth. Many Colors, One Source.

Adam came from the dust of the earth, and all men descended from him.That dirt could have been brown, or red, or grey. Does it really matter what color the dust was? NO. So why does it matter what color a person’s skin is? I grew up sheltered. I’ll admit it and for the most part and greatly thankful for it. I also grew up reading books. Many of these books were historical fiction. My mom taught us history by […]

Why do I wear a covering? You know, if I had a nickle for every time some one asked me that… I would have a lot of nickles. 🙂 It is however, a valid question and one I am always happy to answer. And since I’ve started blogging, I have received many emails that question why I wear a covering. I have even had people ask me to blog about it. I’ve always said no, but after some thought and […]
