Wisdom Wednesday

-
Wisdom Wednesday is brought to you today by Brie- Brienne Bishop from our RS Crew. We are so fortunate to have her on our committe as well as one of our regular writers God sure blessed us when He sent Brie our way. She has a love for God and a passion to help others. I pray you will find her post as much of a blessing I have.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Romans 12:1-2
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
I have read and reread these verses! Y’all have you struggles with any form of habit that is not good for you? Eating to much, smoking, drinking soft drinks instead of water?
I have struggled with weight off and on my whole life! I have been dieting off and on for years and years and years. So I’ve been on a journey since February and I vowed to God I was going to look at it differently this time. I was made for so much more than dieting. You pretty lady were made for more than dieting. We were made to glorify and honor the Lord with every part of our life. So I got to thinking okay Lord even down to what I eat? I mean does that really bother You?
Well I got my answer, Yes He does care. Our bodies are His dwelling place. Would you invite someone over and not take time to clean and care for your home? Our bodies our a temple to the Holy Spirit!
Not to mention the first sin was with food,I mean that crazy piece of fruit.
So I ask that you pray for me as I continue this journey. It has been amazing! My prayer for you and me sweet sisters is that we would seek to glorify and honor Him down to what you put in your mouth as food!
So pray for me as I continue. “remodeling my temple”
In Christ
Brie

Follower of Christ Friday  November 11, 2020 Ever been looking for a specific themed video on YouTube, instead find something totally unrelated but something you still needed to see? That was me a few years ago when I stumbled upon Author and Speaker, Christine Caine telling some of her testimony.  (warning this may be a lot of parphrase)  She was talking about when she was in seminary how one of her preaching professors pretty much told her that she did terrible, and that she should never teach / preach to an audience again!!  I expected to next hear how it made her mad, and how she vowed to him that she would "show him."   I mean she is Christine Caine, this great motivating woman who currently speaks internationally to thousands of people.  She overcame it somehow.  However, what I wasn't expecting was to to hear what really happened.  She said it absolutely DEFEATED her.  She felt shame!  She questioned her worth! She didn't want to and in fact didn't speak fo

Carrie's Story

Hello! My name is Carrie Hunt! I am 26 years old and live in New Albany where I was born and raised. I’m an assistant teacher at West Union Attendance Center and I’m currently pursuing my bachelors degree to become a certified teacher at Blue Mountain College. It’s true when God gives you a calling, you have to follow it! I really don’t discuss personal things on social media. If you ask me a question in person though, I’m very open and honest. In February this year, I was diagnosed with PCOS(Poly cystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS causes many issues for women, reproductive problems, endocrine problems, anxiety and depression.  I don’t let it define me, even on the days where I wish I didn’t have it and just want it gone. Although there is no cure, I choose to fight it, not let it fight me. One in ten million women in the U.S. have it! We are all fighters. I guess I feel the need to discuss it now because I understand it and what it entails. Like I said, I’m an open book. I’m open to discu

Totally in Tuesdays

The Fruitful Woman Happy Tuesday and welcome to another look at The Fruitful Woman. This week will finish out the series. I have enjoyed looking at the Fruit of the Spirit from  Galatians  5 and I pray you have to.  Today brings in our last fruit. The last piece of the puzzle. The last quality of a woman who is in living in a love relationship with God. The final reward. Temperance. Temperance- moderation in action, thought, or feeling: restraint, self-control Self-control - the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations. It’s no accident that Paul listed temperance as the very last Fruit of the Spirit. God led Him to place this challenging character trait at the very end. My guess; is because self-control is impossible without all the other qualities being instilled first. Without my daily walk with God, without my quiet time with Him, without by obedience t
