{She Reads Truth :: Day 1}

So today starts a new study through She Reads Truth, its about 
"Women in the Bible" 
and Im SUPER excited about it.  

SheReadsTruth is an awesome community of amazing women who have poured so much love into creating these studies for women to get together and read Gods WORD, to get together and share what we have learned, to share our strengths and weaknesses, to encourage eachother.  I just joined not too long ago, and I love it.  Im learning so much. 


Today is about Eve:

As I was reading about Eve and reading the comments afterwards, I learned something.  Its amazing because I have read the book about Genesis so many times....c'mon its the book about creation!!  You know... about the 7 days God took to  create our world.  

1st day: Light
2nd day: sky and water
3rd day: Land and seas
4th day: sun, moon and stars 
5th day: Fish and birds
6th day: Animals and Man and Woman
7th day: God rested and declared everything "to be very good"

God had an order to his Creation

it's not good for man to be alone i will make a helper ...."
 Then he makes all the animals and Adam names them all 

God allowed Adam to see that there was "no helper found as his compliment". 
There is something missing 
 so next God makes woman from man {from his rib} 
unlike man who was made from the dirt,  Eve was CREATED {formed} last. 
The completion of all God's creation. 

Eve was Formed 
I never looked at it this way before...
Like a sculptor who fashions a beautiful piece of art


STEPS TO JOIN IN THIS STUDY:
1: download the youversion bible app
 2: join the plan 
3: start reading

Weekly Wrap-Up 
Instagram Style 


This year to celebrate 4th of july we went up north to Flagstaff 
where we could enjoy the cooler weather

 Enjoyed the 4th of July parade downtown 


 Had some relaxing time out on the porch drinking tea and hearing the birds chirping 

 We took a walk every morning 

 Went to the park 


Did some "Hiking" 

 Went to the Sweet Shoppe and Nut House 

 Did some BBQ'ing 

Kids threw some TNT Pop-Its 

This little man enjoyed the view of the beautiful pine trees

and when we returned back home it was back to 106 degrees and that was at 10:00 AM!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend celebrating 
with family and friends!

{Mothers, YOU are mighty...}


I saw this blog post by Lisa Jo Baker, and it moved me, this is a great reminder.  Because sometimes we need reminders....specially on our hard days where we feel like giving up, like nothing is working out.  We are just the Cook, chauffeur, maid, diaper changer ...there are days where you feel spent, worn

 Its not the kind of job you get praises for from your boss, co-workers.  
But you know what?

"you are in fact a shelter from the storm. You are a Cape of Good Hope. You are a warrior who will battle for your children’s hearts, souls, attention, innocence, education and memories"


Someone might ask...

“So, what do you do?” And “Mother” might be about the unsexiest answer ever uttered at a Capitol Hill mixer. But don’t let that fool you. “Mother” will always be the bravest, least ordinary, most difficult and utterly challenging career that anyone ever hopes to lay claim to. "

Therefore, my dear sisters, stand firm. 
Let nothing move you.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58
