Faith
Faith. It’s easy to make declarations about having faith when your world is going at a typical pace. When every day is not great but not horrible either. When life is average, you can hope for the extraordinary and not be too terribly put off when the extraordinary doesn’t occur. Miracles are only special because they don’t happen all the time. So, we hope for the things not seen, but we can get complacent in our faith. You can go back to my first postings in January 2020 and practically smell the hope. You can almost tangibly feel the anticipation. Something great was on the horizon. Things were clicking along…

Give Me My Flowers
We always hear that tomorrow is not promised. In reality, the next second that we have is not promised. 2020 has given us plenty of moments that have caused us to be mindful of the time that we have with our loved ones. Bible Study Brother and I sat down to shout out just some of the people that have had a significant impact on our lives. #wepreach

The Question
Your life can change in a single moment. When I hear others say that, I often think of how you’re doing just fine and then a tragedy hits. I mean, you’re minding your business and then life deals you a heavy blow. Thankfully, God gave me a more positive outlook. He didn’t leave me in that space. Typically if I’m writing about the same topic as other contributors to Bible Study Girl, I make sure that my blog is written before I read theirs. I don’t want to be influenced by what they felt led to share. BSG week broke all the rules. Although we agreed on a topic, I…

Choices
One thing I struggle with in life is making choices. ESPECIALLY when I’m given a lot of options. While other people can have a favorite movie or drink or food, for me it’s always “one” of my favorites. Who can choose just one when there is just so much greatness in this world? So imagine how hard this task has been for me to pick just one moment that changed my life. The deadline has passed, and I still can’t decide. So, guess what? I’ll just go ahead and bless you with a couple. We could talk about the time I was visiting my friend, Scherron, in Dallas. While attending…

A Moment That Changed My Life…..
I can think of many life changing moments: getting married, giving birth to my son, beginning my career as an Accountant; however, there is one that sticks out more than the others. And quite frankly, that moment hasn’t happened just yet or it’s still happening. LOL! My husband and I have been trying to conceive since December 2015. We’ve both gone to the fertility doctor, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong. On the morning of April 4, 2018, I woke up with the song “Be Still” by Yolanda Adams in my spirit. It was awkward, because I hadn’t heard that song in years. From my recollection, I think I was a…

Pay It Forward
My morning routine two to three days out the week consists of pulling into the drive thru at a local Starbucks, while simultaneously chitchatting with my work BFF on my SUV’s Bluetooth. I pause the conversation to place the usual, overpriced order of a tall- blonde- vanilla latte with bacon and cheese egg bites… I pull forward and continue with my phone conversation. A few months back a recollect a morning that was a bit unusual. I reached the window and fumbled to open the app to pay, only to hear the barista mumble something?!?! I paused the call, with my work BFF, and ask the server to repeat her…

A Remedy for Worrying
Sunday’s sermon cut to the heart of the current atmosphere we are encountering. Pastor spoke of his own struggles with worry. He spoke of other’s struggles with worry. And then he provided a remedy that is found in God’s word. The sermon was pulled from Matthew 6:25-34. In these scriptures, Jesus himself tells us multiple times “do not worry.” Jesus speaks of the birds in the air. The birds don’t fly around wondering where their next meal comes from, and they don’t plant food or store it in barns. They just fly and look for the next meal. They know it’s somewhere out there. Jesus then speaks of the lilies…

BSG Week!!!
Howdy! Welcome to BSG week on the Bible Study Girl blog!!!!!! It’s been a minute since I explained what a BSG is, so let me refresh your memory. Way back in 2011, I sent out a mass email/text message and invited all the women that I knew in Central Arkansas to join in on a Bible Study. Of the people that were invited, we ended up with a core group of six women that met weekly to discuss the things that we learned during the Bible study that week. Every great group needs a name. I don’t remember who came up with the name, but Bible Study Girls was chosen…

What is Forgiveness? (Bible Study Brother’s Licensing Sermon)
On March 8, 2020, Bible Study Brother became a licensed minister. His sermon on forgiveness is something that he is being challenged to live out in his everyday life. Away from the pulpit and prying eyes. Take a listen to what the Lord had to say through him.

Boolie’s Journey (Part III)
It’s the last installment of my grandma’s faith walk. <Insert crying face> Sitting and listening to her story was refreshing and made me evaluate choices that I’m currently making in my life. She is one of a kind.
