Off-Topic Thoughts About the Future

Wednesday on my Telegram channel, I took a survey: So let’s take a poll. 😊😊 I don’t know how to actually do this, so let’s just use emoticons/stickers. I’m going to do a new word from Philippians 4:8 soon, but would you like me to go “off topic” for a day or two and talk about where I think we are ...

Soapboxes and Weighty Matters

Bible study· Biblical Feasts· Blog· Definitions of Biblical Words· God's Law

So I feel a soapbox coming on. That happens to me sometimes, in case you didn't know. <wink> I have a friend whose first language is Spanish, so sometimes she asks me what I mean when I say things like "soapbox," which don't translate very well into another language. According to ... Read More about Soapboxes and Weighty Matters

Think Like a Princess

Bible study· Blog· Definitions of Biblical Words· God's Word in my life· Homemaking· Life at Anne's house

I’ve always been a tiny bit fascinated by the Queen of England, and as a child, I did my fair share of dressing up like a princess. 👸🏰 I still enjoy pretty things, jewelry and a bit of makeup. We don’t do Disney at our house, but Psalm 45 tells me about the royal princess of YHVH who is much more ... Read More about Think Like a Princess

Something Awesome

Before I went to bed last night, I told the ladies on my Telegram channel that I'd share something awesome in the morning.

When a lie wants to creep into my life and suck me in, keeping me from my homeschooling my kids and remembering to defrost dinner because I'm down the rabbit hole, thinking about an all-consuming thought -- how do I stop it?

The Truth Teller

Bible study· Blog· Definitions of Biblical Words· God's Word in my life· Mothering

Yesterday we talked about truth. The word truth, or אֱמוּנָה (emunah), also means a true testimony or witness, a faithful record or account of what happened. I followed the word אֱמוּנָה through the Old Testament, and a verse in Proverbs jumped right off the page at me. "He who speaks truth ... Read More about The Truth Teller

The Glue of the Family

Blog· God's Word in my life· Mothering

A few days ago we were talking about Philippians 4:8, and we tried to encourage each other to only think about "good reports." If you're anything like me, you had this question: "In a messed up world like ours is, and with so much happening so quickly, how can we only think about good reports? ...

Need “Be” Vitamins?

Blog· God's Law· God's Word in my life

Last night I had a dream that a woman came over in need of some B vitamins. I searched my home but could not find the kind she wanted. She got her children and left in anger. I asked the Father, “What are these B vitamins that she wanted?” He said that they were “be” vitamins, or essential ... Read More about Need “Be” Vitamins?
