Good Morning!!☕️I know I haven't checked in much lately. Been busy with life. I thought I'd do an impromptu series with you throughout the rest of this week. I did this series back in 2019, so some of you may have went through it with me, but I think it's always great to ponder on those biblical characters and learn a little bit when we can. We will be talking about 3 different "moms" in the Bible this week.
🔹Job's Wife: Too Close to the Fire
🔹Hannah: Lost in Longing
🔹Naomi: Empty and Alone
Today is just the "Introduction", so download it and tomorrow we will talk a little about Job's Wife. On Saturday we will round it out with the "Conclusion".
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
TODAY'S DOWNLOAD:

Leave a comment to let me know you will be sticking around and joining me for the series.

The downloads will be available for around a week after the conclusion of the series. Make sure you "save" them and not just "open" them each day.

Have a great Tuesday, my friends.😀

Such a good read for the ladies!!!

THIS HIT ME HARD.

Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord?

Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever
hear of women going to the mountains.
But we know why — right?

Because the women were too busy
keeping life going;
they couldn’t abandon babies,
meals,
homes,
fires,
gardens,
and a thousand responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!

I was talking to a friend the other day,
saying that as modern woman
I feel like I’m never “free” enough
from my responsibilities,
never in a quiet enough space
I want with God.

Her response floored me,
“That is why God comes to women.
Men have to climb the mountain to meet God, but God comes to women where ever they are.”

I have been pondering on her words for weeks and have searched my scriptures
to see that what she said is true.
God does in deed come to women
where they are,
when they are doing their ordinary,
everyday work.

He meets them at the wells
where they draw water for their families,
in their homes,
in their kitchens,
in their gardens.

He comes to them
as they sit beside sickbeds,
as they give birth,
care for the elderly,
and perform necessary mourning and burial rites.

Even at the empty tomb,
Mary was the first to witness Christ’s resurrection,
She was there because she was doing the womanly chore of properly preparing Christ’s body for burial.

In these seemingly mundane
and ordinary tasks,
these women of the scriptures found themselves face to face with divinity.

So if — like me — you ever start to bemoan the fact that you don’t have as much time to spend in the mountains with God as you would like. Remember, God comes to women. He knows where we are and the burdens we carry. He sees us, and if we open our eyes and our hearts we will see Him, even in the most ordinary places and in the most ordinary things.

He lives. And he’s using a time such as this to speak to women around the world.
