I read marriage books even before I got married, and I’ve read many more since we said our wedding vows! 💕

Some I borrow from the library and quietly return, and some I text pictures of to all my girlfriends, recommending they read them too.

Marriage is one of the greatest gifts and joys in this life, which means there is no shortage of opinions on how to do it right.

Especially after you’ve been married for a while, it can be a great idea to pick up some new books that will show you how to approach your relationship with a fresh perspective!

➡️ Here are 5 marriage books I recommend! (Follow the link in the bio.)

While we can’t “grow” our time the way we mi

While we can’t “grow” our time the way we might grow our money, we can turn to Scripture to discover how best to invest it.

For instance, Philippians 2:3 (NIV) tells us to value others above ourselves. This may mean playing on the floor with our toddlers, or lingering over coffee with a friend, instead of letting our days be dictated by our agenda.

Philippians 4:8 (NIV) says we should think about things that are excellent or praiseworthy. This may mean we stop squandering thoughts on worry and fear and start devoting those moments to thanking God for his provision.

Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) tells us to throw off everything that hinders. This may mean deleting good things from our schedule so we can pay attention to the better things God is doing.

We may think the answer for an overwhelmed life is a change in our circumstances, but it’s not. The answer is to invite God into the mix, allowing His Word to shape our priorities and our to-do list. As Martin Luther famously put it, “I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”

To read the whole devotional by my dear friend Jodie, click over to the link in the bio which will take you to Club31Women.

I watch our kids getting lost in a book. 📖 Read

I watch our kids getting lost in a book. 📖 Reading for hours on the couch. The porch swing. Maybe the floor. And then back on the couch again. Or while cleaning the kitchen.

(Except I’ve drawn the line there. No reading while washing dishes.) 😉

If you want to instill a love of reading or have a child like that – the kind who can’t get enough good books to read – I’ve come up with a Big Long List of Good Books for Children.

PLUS, get a 💥 free printable 💥 list of these books!!!

What is the remedy for seeing sin as it really is

What is the remedy for seeing sin as it really is and correcting our spiritual malaise? We turn to the Lord and let His Word counsel us.

John Newton's words, “Twas blind but now I see,” testifies of the supernatural change in his own spiritual vision. What he once accepted and practiced and profited from, he now repented of and renounced, by God’s amazing grace!

We need to rely on our Bibles as the sourcebook for all truth and wisdom.

As we read God’s Word, wonderful things happen:
1️⃣ We are instructed: “I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me.” Ps. 119:102b
2️⃣ We are illuminated: ”The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.”Ps.19:8b
3️⃣ We are revived: “Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.” Ps.119:107
4️⃣ We are enabled to obey: “Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statues, and I will keep it to the end.: Ps. 119:33

As you read God’s Word and your own blindness turns to sight, you might be tempted to despair at the awfulness of it all. But the gospel is truly good news for our salvation and for our sanctification.

To read more of this GOOD NEWS! click through the link in the bio to read Sarah's devotional at Club31Women.

She graduated summa cum laude, but before the day

She graduated summa cum laude, but before the day we applauded her achievements, there were approximately 36 months of fatigue and perseverance, and anxiety that preceded them.

She would come home exhausted, grab a snack, and head straight up to her room. For three or four hours, she would labor meticulously over homework. Finally, we would have to make her come downstairs to eat dinner.

And since she was a girl, there were lots of tears to go with those hard days of work.

We had a large ottoman in the living room at the time, and when things got bad, she would stand at the end of it and do a full face plant on top of it, with arms flung out to the side in total exhaustion and despair.

Here’s what I learned as a mom –you can’t do the work for your kid. Our kids have to go through their hard times of struggle and labor, and we need to let them do this.

But we CAN come alongside them, kind of like a chase vehicle in a bike race.

So follow the link in the bio to read some things Christy did to encourage her children through their hard days, over on the @Club31Women blog.

What are some additional things you do to come alongside your children?
