Placement

Letting carp suck popcorn from in-between my toes.

July 22

Recently, someone asked me if I could have done any other job besides teaching and then getting married and becoming a mom, what would I have liked to do.  I thought for a moment and said I wouldn't change a thing.  "Just" teaching and being a mom/grandmom is where God has placed me.

Studying the women of the Bible this summer has been exhilarating.  The other day I took a peek at the women supporting (financially and physically) Jesus and the disciples.  Some stepped away from affluent social settings to walk the walk with Christ.  Motherhood may not be glamorous, but it is a calling.

Let is not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to  those who belong to the family of believers.  Galatians 6:9-10

Mary Magdalene, just thrills my heart with her elation when she encounters Jesus at the tomb.  She can't wait to tell others!  When we encounter Christ in the scriptures or  through a time of prayer are we busting with joy to give testimony to what we have learned about Him?

Mary Magdalen went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her."  John 20:18
