For Today:
May 3, 2017

Outside my window, the sun is shining brightly.

I am thinking about my children.
I am thankful that my children are happy and healthy today.
From my learning, I am finding that I want to find peace and happiness in life.
From the kitchen, I hear the Emmalee helping Jackson.
I am wearing my ugly green house dress because today I’m being lazy.
I am creating a new life for us all.
I am going to watch movies and relax today while working online.
I am hoping that my husband has no more challenges today.
I am hearing Emmalee and Jackson talking together in the kitchen.
Around the house, I have dinner to get ready soon.
One of my favorite things: the smell of gardenias in bloom.
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Help Don if he needs it.
Finish mowing the grass.
Write reviews for both Messy Journey and Women Who Move Mountains.

A thought to share:
Sometimes life gets busy.  Still we must put Faith first every day.  God is what gets us through.  Without Him we accomplish nothing.

A quote I like:
We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.
-Joseph Campbell

God Knows Best {Thoughts From Me}

by

I started this week with the best of intentions.  I had planned to share with you all of the great sales going on this week.  I had planned to set up posts ahead of time and have them all ready to go.

But…

Life happened.  Other things had to be done.  I haven’t had the time to do the things on my to-do list at all.

It’s been a hectic week but even though I haven’t been able to get my plans done, I was still able to get a lot done.  Other things have fallen into place.  Sometimes God makes changes we don’t realize and for a reason.  His plan is always better than our own.

So even when life happens and things don’t go as planned, remember that God’s always there, always making plans for us that are best whether we think so at the time or not. God’s always leading, always loving us and always choosing what’s in our best interest.  Even when we don’t, He knows the way.

God bless,
Dana Lambert-Hodge

Shepherd, Potter, Spy and the Star Namer {Crew Review}

by

What We Received:
For this review, we were sent the beautiful paperback novel Shepherd, Potter, Spy and the Star Namer from Peggy Consolver – Author.  Peggy is a wonderful author and sweet Christian lady who felt led to share the story of the Gibeonites with us all.  The story she tells takes us back to a time many of us struggle to understand but she’s able to weave the story so we can see the past we often wonder about.
About The Book: 
Have you ever wondered about the historical information that is shared throughout the Bible?  Have you ever wished to know what life was really like for many of the people mentioned?  Have you wondered how they lived, where they trod, even what their flocks were like?  Through Shepherd, Potter, Spy and the Star Namer, Peggy Consolver has done her best to help us better understand the plight of the Gibeonite people as they lived day to day.
Shepherd, Potter, Spy and the Star Namer by Peggy Miracle Consolver tells the story of the Gibeonite people.  The story is centered around a young shepherd boy named Keshub.  Keshub fights hard to keep his flock and his people safe from harm.  He longs for adventure outside of the grazing lands, to be someone more than he is.  He eventually finds the adventure he seeks and becomes a spy who keeps watch over the Hebrews as they move through the Jordan Valley.  
This book shares many specific details to the time period and the detail of life of the people.  Peggy Consolver did her research thoroughly as she wrote this story.  Though the story of Keshub is fictional, it’s still based in Truth from scripture and archeological research.  This story speaks life to a people who struggled to live.
Additional Learning:
Peggy Consolver has shared part of her website to help expand the lessons behind Shepherd, Potter, Spy and Star Namer.  She has created a study guide which can be used with the book to expand on the information within the pages of the book.  She has provided access to maps specifically for the time period discussed in the book.  She has also provided links to information, videos to help expand on the archeological details covered within the book, and more.  This is a great little guide to really help bring the book to life.
