Happy first day of April, friends! This coming Sunday is Resurrection Sunday. It is a special day of remembering the fact that Jesus died for us and then conquered death when He rose victorious from the grave! That is something worthy of celebrating, not just on Resurrection Sunday, but every day. …
Where should we look if we want the definition of procrastination? I think the dictionary would be a good place to start! I don’t have one of those here handy at the moment, so instead of procrastinating until I do, I’ll just run over to a new tab and use an online dictionary. …
“Come unto me all you who are weary.” This is Jesus’ call to each one of us, and it is reflected in the hymn, Come Unto ME, Ye Weary. Once again, it is time for our Monthly Melody Discussion! Were you able to listen to this hymn any this month? If not, make …
Of course, most of us want to be trustworthy. We want to be someone who others can depend on. But what exactly does that look like? In our last post about the Proverbs 31 woman, we discussed the verse about her husband (or father) being able to depend on her. Let’s do a …
Ruby and Amber were curled up on the couch together. Both girls had their Bibles open and were studiously writing in their notebooks. They had been doing a Bible study with their mom and needed to finish their homework before they met again the next day. Ruby sniffed the air and then jumped …
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. Proverbs 31:11 Let’s study Proverbs 31:11 Okay, before we start, I would like to settle one little matter. I know that like me, a lot of my readers are not married. It’s easy for …
In the world that we live in, you can buy almost anything, anytime, and have it shipped right to your front door. If your local grocery store doesn’t have it, then you can almost certainly find it in an online store. But you know, there are still a few things that can’t be …
March is here, and spring is right behind it! I’m sure ready, what about you? I really did enjoy a cozy winter with hot tea, puzzles, and family read-aloud time. For the most part, I also enjoyed the snow and some of the cold, especially when I wasn’t out in it! But as wonderful …
I think that a lot of women have found this passage, starting at “Who can find a virtuous woman,” all the way down to “Let her own works praise her in the gates,” to be very overwhelming! Do you ever read this passage and think, “I could never be like that,” and feel …
Are you ready to learn more about our Monthly Melody, The King of Love My Shepherd Is? I will be learning right along with you as I research this post. If you missed our first post, you might want to catch up and then jump back in! The author of, The …
Outside the air was chilly, but in the Randall living room, the sunshine glittered over the piano where Ruby was seated. She ran her fingers lightly over the keys. Any moment now and the rest of her family would come in to practice. Their family was going to do a song for special …
Hello everyone! Today I have a very different post than what I usually write, but it’s one that I have been very excited about! Grace from Vibrant for Jesus nominated me for the Liebster award. Thank you so much, Grace!! It was such a surprise, and I was thrilled! …
Monthly Melody February is here already! This is the month when a lot of us think about love. We think about the love of our families and friends. This year, let’s also make it a priority to think about the ONE Who loves us more than anyone else does! Jesus is the King …
Let me introduce you to Ruby! I have a feeling that she is like you in some ways and different from you in others. Hopefully, you will find her someone nice to have for a friend. Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10 Ruby Photo …
Hello Everyone! January almost always seems to be a speedy month, and January 2021 has been no exception. I haven’t been especially busy, but the time just seems to pass really fast. Anyway, since the month is already well on its way to being over, it is high time for us to revisit our January …
Have you ever browsed the internet looking for a specific item you really wanted but had difficulty finding? I sure have! It seems like the items that are hard to find are often rather expensive when you do find them. The reason for that is apparent: since they are rare, the seller can …
What exactly does it mean to be a virtuous woman? This is a common term that we hear, but do we really know what it means? I think that any Christian woman would have a desire to be a virtuous woman, and it’s clear from Scripture that we should be virtuous, so I …
First let me say, Happy New Year!! God has brought us to 2021, and I know that He has good things planned for us in this year! They may not always look like what we expect, but we know His plans work together for our good. And we know that all things work …
2020 has been a different and challenging year for all of us. But, God never sends us challenges without also sending us the opportunity to learn more about Him and His plan for us. As we close out this year and anticipate the new one, take a moment to think …
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 I thought I would pop on this week with an …
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God …
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Colossians 3:17 I know it’s not quite Thanksgiving yet, and I certainly don’t want my favorite holiday overlooked, BUT, when you are a musician …
I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all THY marvellous works. Psalm 9:1 I think I know what you’re thinking about this post. You’re probably thinking that this is a post to announce that Praise Planners are now for sale and a post to …
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:14-16 Last week we talked about my 2021 weekly planner and where I got …
“Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.” Psalm 25:4 It started in 2019 I first started using a planner in 2019, although it really seems like longer ago than that. We got two adorable little leatherbound day planners for free when we ordered something. My sister and I each …
O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Psalm 119:97 I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one who wishes to have more of a desire to read and study God’s Word. It’s so much easier to do something on a regular basis when you are …
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Hello everyone!! I hope y’all are having a great day and are looking to the Lord each moment for strength. I decided that since the Proverbs 31 woman passage is something we are going to be talking a lot about on the blog, (and I didn’t have anything else ready to publish!) that …
