Been reading the Bible, and trying to figure out how to study. Keep in mind I was never taught how to study, just passed through the school system and barely graduated.
Having flashbacks of trying to study makes me want to give up.
I keep seeing the basics ex:
Set aside time
Pray (of course!)
Have a notebook and pen
Etc ...
Like yo I'm kinda dumb and need a bit of hand holding here. Once I get it, though, I got it. I don't understand SOAP or SWEET method because that reads like "Oh just make a list & go."
@IAMTOMMACDONALD
Btw for anyone who DOESN'T have his CDs, it's on the Gravestones disc. I suggest getting all of them because there are some absolute BANGERS and HEARTRENDING gems on all of them.
I am praying tonight for my husband. He is in a very bad headspace due to the house not getting any offers. I am earnestly praying for him because he does not have a relationship with God. I am praying for peace, strength, for him and for this house to sell to resolve his stress.
Unrelated to everything I have tweeted today:
I have shown my 10 year old to talk into a fan.
She is now amused singing into it The Final Countdown by Europe.
🤣
The husband said this next Sunday we should check the late service out. Then, the following Saturday, he wants to see what the Saturday service is like. He even suggested the kids go to the youth groups.
Is... is this my prayer being slowly answered? 😭
So, my husband crushed my dreams of having a basement (we can't afford it lol)
But while I was trying to process this and mourn a dream-plan, he straight up was like, we can totally put a shed in and have it climate controlled.
Me:
Goodness.
I have been told we have 2 weeks before everything hits the fan, & we are out with only the clothes we can carry in what we can put in bags.
God, I am ready and willing to have You move Your mighty hand in this situation. I am begging for mercy on this.
I was watching Robin Hood with my kiddos, and I grinned a little with RH and MM discussing having 6 kids and MM and was like, nah, a dozen. 🤣 Then totally pies one of Prince John's stooges. 🤣
What do you do when you need a dopamine fix of a new project? Start the same project in a new color and stick a Bobby pin in the first because you don't have enough crochet hooks of the same size! 🤣
After 15 years of my husband being gone all the time doing OTR, and me praying multiple times a day for his safety, I really treasure he is home every day. Even if he looks like Al Bundy on the couch. 🤣 I love this goofball. 🥰
Having a strong urge to spend money I don't have at a bookstore for those dopamine hits. I'll even bring my list of suggestions for Bible Study. Not sure the husband wants me running to all the Goodwills and VOA's in the city though... the gas alone... lol🫠🤣
Another day of showings and no bites. Praying that even if we lose everything that we can stand solidly in God's hand. Praying my husband accepts Jesus so he has the same peace as I do no matter what happens. So he can lead this family in a way that will be amazing!

It helps to have the Holy Spirit kicking me in the butt when I slack off. Trying to commit to being a student of the word when I couldn't be a student in school is tricky. But at least I am obsessed with the topic of God and the Bible 😁. That helps a lot!
I have made a grave error. Made and ate a 3.5lb salad. My body is telling me I'm a moron for binge eating that much vegetables. And I have to make dinner now 💀🫠
@kangminjlee
Still the best song to sing in the car with my son. He always jumps when I grab his shoulder when I sing the line "I'll make a man out of you" 🤣 It's been like 8 years. You think he'd catch on. 🤔 🤣
Watch out when asking for help
@Noash22
will send the whole brigade after you to help.
I love it, but also was slightly terrifying in the most funny and amazing way possible. 🤣🫂
You are awesome my Sister in Christ!🥰
@farmingandJesus
New to the faith as a bby Christian just last month. My kids are on board, husband, not so much. Need prayers for my kids and I to be a light for him. And for him to join us on this path. Renewal of the spirit and mind because my demons are big.
New project for church. A shawl! I plan on making a few for spring and some for Fall/Winter. Wish this CoBoo yarn came in way more colors because it is such a wonderful texture!
@DuckieLouise
.... Also me! But stick me on a homestead. With my two lil hobgoblins & my husband. 🥰
My body laughed at my 9 yo self who was like 9 BABIES! I just have 2 and then 2 older stepkids 🤣.
Issac (Husband) texted me like an excited fan, a work order signature. Come to find out, it was a former Buckeyes football player. I was the only one he texted about it. 🥰 I hope he has more experiences like this.
Went through yesterday's thread, with a notebook and a pencil. I wrote down every suggestion that I thought could be helpful knowing my brain. The amount of materials I am going to be sifting through may be a task but it's one I am willing to take!
Sunday Church update:
Youth Paster was sicced on us by the head Pastor.
Husband Issac & I were invited to a new people group.
You might say it is getting serious with this church. This is the first church in my adult life that has been THIS welcoming.
Y'all I am STILL taking notes on suggestions. 🤣I haven't even begun to go through follows. I may need a 3 day nap before I tackle that. 🤣. Y'all are absolutely lovely and I thank y'all for comin through in a big way. God bless! Promise to take pictures of the Bible/book mail!
Considering working at Old Navy because if you're an employee, you get 50% off all clothing at all their stores under the company umbrella + 30% off @ the outlets for each. I'm just saying it's not a bad idea cause my kids are hitting growth spurts at the same time. 🫠😭😭😭
@mrsdobbins_
My kids (10f & 13m) go BANANAS when they see babies and toddlers. I can't wait to get moved and find a church. They are going to lose their minds. 🤣
For now, spotting babies in public is their fav hobby.
Husband is pushing me to do recon in the AM for what to wear at a church I want to check out. 🤣
Like my guy. I love you but I don't think this is Stepford Wives here.... 🤣💀
@luinalaska
What if he married a weirdo obsessed with snow and is willing to do the task most days, and he covers for the days she doesn't?
It's me. I'm the weirdo. 🤣
It's Sunday! Time to keep reading Judges.
And I gotta come up with something super nice to text my husband since this is our 15th anniversary. 🥰
Praise God for another day in this life.
Good mornin TwiX! I have a musical request! If anyone listens to Bluegrass &/ Appalachian style worship music, kick me the best links and names to check out! I would greatly appreciate it! 🥰💜
@milagracesmom
🤣 the fact that its the wrong move has me in stitches. I'm gonna use this to bother my family now. 🤣 I enjoy both movies. But my fav song from Footloose is "Let's hear it for the boy" 😊
Guess who's planning the whole weekend so he can go to church on Sunday since last week he'd messed up his back muscles and couldn't go?
My husband.
Praise God!
I have to admit the most fun part of making anything when I did candles, soaps, lotions, teas, and things was not just making of the blends. I also enjoyed making labels as well. They were so fun!
Shopping day! Do you KNOW how long it's been since I've shopped for clothes for myself? 16 years. Till today, the husband has always just ordered stuff on a whim. (Which is dangerous 🤣😅)
My own daughter Rick Rolled me. Not with Rick Astley either! She suggested we listen to some praise songs, and she puts The Final Countdown on again. 🤣
Send help. 🤣🤣
I'm praying that this house sells soon. I know God will provide, and I have peace and confidence in this fact. I just want our family to be done with this constant separation and to limit how much we are straddling financially with mortgage and rent.
@TheFreelyAshley
I'll found out today that Ben wrote his own verse too! Which makes this sooo much more amusing. I have proof that Tom said it 🤣🤣🤣 This is so awesome!
@musings_blonde
It doesn't get better when they are 13. 🤣 I'm always having to ask my son if it's gonna end in a trip to the ER. He legitimately tells me "Maybe" 💀
@_kayCiam
Lol, yeah. If it's really gnarly for me, I am just like sweetie... could you please brush your teeth? I'll make it worth it for you. 🤣 He walks REALLY fast to brush his teeth if it's bothering me on a random day. Or to swig some mouth wash.
Truck is loaded, time to finish cleaning the inside of the house and plan for car tetris.
😭 Imma miss my daddy's hugs.
I need to start plotting how to get him to move close to us. 🥰🥰🥰😁
Signed up for the In Touch devotionals this mornin, & considering doing the university in a few months. Maybe some free classes in the Hillsdale College. 🤔
... Clearly, I need some severe help eating my mashed taters. And he's willing to take up the job. 🤣 (He can't. I put gravy on them, and he's got a gluten issue.)
