Ruby's Rambles - Rethinking Homeschool and Faith

Our spiritual gifts will not necessarily put us in a spotlight. Often, we'll be prompted to step into the specific moment someone needs God to show up - quietly, yet unmistakably. That's one of the ways His whispers become a shout, reminding someone who may have temporarily forgotten: "I Am - the God Who Sees."

This was a nice surprise to find this morning. 🙂

Looking at Matthew 7 today.

Verse 24 - "Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice..."

Q: Puts what into practice?

["These words of mine," so I looked back at everything He had just said.]

A: Everything He just said includes:
- Do good deeds/works
- Keep your word
- Love your enemies
- Give freely
- Pray sincerely
- Fast privately
- Invest in what matters
- Seek Him first
- Judge gently
- Ask, seek, knock
- Love others well
- Be discerning; watch the fruit
- Build your life wisely

Nothing to do with homeschool, but everything to do with this season of my life.

I keep seeing questions in women's groups, asking how to hide the gray. This is my response:

I like my gray. I've survived a lot of things, and I'm still standing. I've grown a lot, I've fought my share of battles (am still fighting battles), and I'm far more confident than I used to be - in my skills, in my knowledge, and in who I am. I plan to rock allll the gray. It shows a small piece of who I am now.

Woke up to this lovely review today.

Reviews like this pair wonderfully with my coffee. ;)
