As I have been reading through the key chapters of the Bible with many of you, I have come to appreciate more and more a quality study Bible. If you are in the ABCJesusLovesMe Facebook Group, you know that my Bible fell apart. See damages below. While my Bible was being repaired, I was asked to review the new study Bible by Tony Evans. ...
Daily Time with God
The 2 Lies I am Believing. You too?
Last week I shared my struggle with believing lies. It seems that in several areas of my life, God is calling out these lies and prodding me to believe the truth. (Did you print the free Lies vs Truth printable?) Here are two lies that can trip me up. Follow Your Heart If you like to veg out in front of Hallmark movies, you have seen ...
Are You Believing Lies or Truth?
I will never forget the first time he said the words to me. They hit me like a wrecking ball to an old brick building. “You are believing lies.” The words were harsh. but covered in love. And, I knew his statement was true. My husband reminded me that I was choosing to believe the lies of the enemy over the truth of my ...
Tempted to Skip the Old Testament?
For the last 20 weeks, I have been reading through the key chapters of the Bible and I am thrilled that over 400 of you have joined me in this journey.

Join Our “Keys of the Bible” Study
For a while I have desired to read through the key chapters of the Bible in chronological order. After finishing my current study, I went in search of a reading guide. Unfortunately, my search came up blank. For a while I have felt a stirring in my heart to help women be intentional in their spiritual growth. I have prayed about various ...

Are You Seeking God’s Will or God?
It was like a light bulb going on as I read the fourth week of the Priscilla Shirer Discerning the Voice of God study. Suddenly I released that I've been doing it all wrong.

Do You Ever Wake Up Cranky?
A while back I woke up cranky. Bite-your-head-off cranky. Looking for a fight, I was mad at the world. And for no reason. I slept well. No one did anything to tick me off. I. Just. Woke. Up. Cranky. Please tell me that I am not alone in this.... Knowing exactly where I needed to go to turn this around, I was led to Zephaniah ...
When You Feel Ineffective and Paralyzed
A while ago I went through Priscilla Shirer's study on The Armor of God. It completely rocked my world. If you haven't done this study, please put it on your bucket list. Priscilla explained that there is a constant battle going on around us. We know the outcome from reading Revelation but the enemy is fighting hard to fill our minds with ...
We Need Answers
Five years ago we were in the middle of a valley. Bubs (8) was failing the 2nd Grade, Little Man (4) was in a defiant rut, and ABCJLM was demanding focused attention. I felt alone, exhausted, and helpless. See if you can relate to this post I shared in 2013. I just finished writing a long note to Bubs' speech therapist. We are between a ...
