We’ve taken several trips this summer, and one of my favorite things to do on vacations is catch up on good books that have been on my “to read” list! Here are a few of my favorites that I’ve read recently. Risen Motherhood by Emily Jensen & Laura Wifler I had the privilege of being… Continue reading #ThursdayThings — Books I’ve Read Recently
It brings joy to my heart that my daughter is a reader! She will seriously sit by her bookshelf for half an hour quietly turning the pages in books—letting out “roars” as she sees lions and “booms” for lightning. Every morning, I let her pick out books to read on my lap until she’s had… Continue reading #ThursdayThings – My Toddler’s Favorite Board Books
Folding laundry. Driving down the road. Cooking dinner. You better believe I have a podcast playing. I follow a lot of podcasts, and sometimes I don’t even have time to listen to them all as they release each week. In fact, while most podcasts are on a summer break, I’ve been catching up on missed… Continue reading #ThursdayThings — Podcasts I listen to every week
I had it all: the bright pink and green study Bible, the latest new daily devo book, a flowery journal prompt, the denominational magazine, and several Christian books. That’s what stayed on my nightstand throughout my teenage years. I’ve always been a studious one, loving to read all the resources (hence this series), especially when… Continue reading #ThursdayThings — Bible Study Tools
When I first found out I was pregnant, I was excited to become a mother, but I was also terrified. My husband and I would be responsible for the discipleship of our daughter! While only God can change hearts, it is His will that parents should spiritually lead and nurture their children. What a high… Continue reading #ThursdayThings — My Favorite Toddler Resources
Prayer is such an integral part of the Christian life, so it should come to us naturally, right? While it is true that the Holy Spirit helps us to pray, sometimes prayer is hard. Our minds wander. We don’t know where to start. We push it down on our priority list, forsaking the immediately urgent… Continue reading #ThursdayThings — Prayer Tools I Use
Podcasts began to fill that void for me. It provided mental stimulation while I did mundane tasks like change diapers, nurse, and do laundry. It pointed my mind back to God after only having time to read board books. It centered my heart on the Gospel when I wanted to fill it loneliness, bitterness, or frustration. While I also listen to music and the Bible, podcasts are still my favorite resources for busy moms (or busy adults in general). Here are some of my favorite podcasts specifically for women (I’ll do a follow up post with some of my favorite podcasts in general later). I hope listening to these women encourages you as they have encouraged me.
I am a resource junkie. I love finding good books, podcasts, tools, etc. and sharing them with everyone. A friend recently told me that she wished I would write down all the good things I love, so this series is my effort to share resources that have helped let the Word of Christ dwell in… Continue reading #ThursdayThings — Books I Love
I started this blog in 2013 as Duct Tape Prayers. And while that moniker served me well for the past six years, just like I'd outgrown my college-sized pants, I had outgrown that narrow blogging topic. With more time to write as a work-from-home mom, I started taking notes of how God revealed the application… Continue reading The Dwelling Word
