New Bible Studies

We're starting 2 new Bible studies at my church. The adult and teen Bible classes have merged into a men's and women's class for the next 12 or so weeks. The women are using a book by Ann Spangler & Jean E. Syswerda called "Women of the Bible." The men are using a book called "Twelve Ordinary Men" by John MacArthur.

I'm a little jealous of the guys because they get to do a John MacArthur study! (I may wear a fake mustache or pretend like I'm doing some really important technical stuff over by the sound system so I can listen in on the guys study...lol) I'm really looking forward to the women's study, too. I've been wanting to do a 'women of the Bible' study for close to a year now, so I know this one will be good. It's nice to have just the women together sometimes, partly for the fellowship and partly because there's a lot more we can talk about when it's just the girls.

Beauty Secrets of the Bible

(click to view on Amazon)

I got a new book a couple weeks ago called "Beauty Secrets of the Bible." So far I've only tried a couple 'recipes' in it.  I absolutely love homemade beauty products. In today's world a girl could easily spend hundreds of dollars on beauty products ranging from shampoo to a good quality hand cream, body scrubs, etc. I do NOT want to waste my(God's) money on unimportant stuff like that. No way!


A lot of people don't realize that they can make half of that stuff at home using simple ingredients like sugar, baking soda, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, oatmeal, olive oil, and honey. If you make it at home it won't have all those ingredients that you can't pronounce, no fake coloring, no preservatives....only good, healthy ingredients that your skin and body need. My sister-in-law told me a lady at her last church hosted a "Beauty Secrets of the Bible" party for the women at the church. I might just have to do that, when I'm done with this book. Hosting something like that would SO not be my kind of thing (or hosting anything for that matter), but I think it might be fun. 

The Heart of the Artist

Last Sunday I went to my "house-sitting" church (my adopted church when I house-sit for my Aunt & Uncle). I decided to go talk to the music director after the service. I had a few(a ton of) questions for her. She was SO kind and encouraging. She gave me her email and a book to borrow called "The Heart of the Artist" by Rory Noland.

I've never felt adequate or qualified to run the music ministry at my church, and I'm not! When the last piano player moved away, I was the only musician left, so I took the reins. BUT...God helped me to see that He didn't care if I had a degree in music ministry or any experience at all for that matter. He opened my eyes to see that all I needed was Him; all I needed was to trust my God and He would take care of the rest.
