Monday

Good Monday morning!! Today is the day that the Lord made and I shall rejoice and be glad in it !!

Despite my tooth hurting horribly and on day 6 of no voice.  Well, it's coming back...just very slowly. I sound like a  raspy 3 pack a day smoker at the moment. For the most part, I believe my cold is getting better, though.  Good thing, too, because the Mr. said last night that if I wasn't better by Thursday, we couldn't go on our weekend get-a-way. WHAAATTT???!! Oh heck yes we will...I paid wayyyy too much for his early birthday gift, we are going regardless.  Well, let me rephrase that...I know I am going regardless. Nuff said about that and more about that later. 

So, I had been or thought of writing about my "Blogging Through The Bible" with Good Morning Girls on Wednesdays, but I thought I'd change it up and do it on Mondays instead.  Wondering what in the world I am talking about?  Check it out here.

This week GMG is reading/studying through Acts 16-20 and this is the reading plan for the week.

This is the GMG verse of the day, which is also my personal SOAK verse of the day.  Wonder what in the world SOAK is? It is a method of studying the Bible that GMG uses.  You can also learn more about that here.  Sometimes, I do use the GMG verses of the day as my personal SOAK verse of the day and sometimes, there will be a verse that just speaks to me and I will use that one. That said, this is the GMG verse of the day as well as my personal SOAK verse of the day.

S(Scripture) - Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household. Acts 16:31

O(Observation)- I believe that after Paul and Silas had spent much of the night singing hymns and praising God, even after being stripped, beaten, and thrown into prison, the jailer who was responsible for keeping a watch over them witnessed all of the miraculous signs  that occurred that night and he became afraid and he asked Paul and Silas what he needed to do in order to be saved. They answered with verse 31.

A(Application) - How might I apply this verse to my life?  I know and believe with all of my heart and soul in the Lord and I believe with all that I am that I am saved and I believe in the salvation of all of my children, grandchildren, sons-in-law, future sons-in-law, and future daughter-in-law.  I can also tell people of Jesus' saving grace. 

K(Knealing in Prayer) - Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you. Thank you for saving me. Me. A sinner, so undeserving. I totally believe in you and your saving grace and I thank you for not giving up on me.  Lord, help me spread the joy of your word to others. In your precious and sweet name, Amen. 

I won't always do my SOAK's here, but thought I would today for an example. 

At Good Morning Girls, there is a discussion question each day to go along with that day's reading. I don't always participate in those, but I will post today's discussion question.

There are just too many instances and answers to this question, that I wouldn't even know where to start. I am blessed. 

On to what's for supper this week....

Monday- Meatless Monday - Sauteed Mushrooms, onions, and black beans with a cream sauce poured over bow tie pasta.

Blogging Through the Bible with Good Morning Girls

I didn't do my Wednesday's Blogging Through The Bible post last Wednesday because I had gotten really behind last week.  In fact, I think I only did Monday and Tuesday's chapters. I'm afraid to say that it's happened again this week, thankfully, I'm only behind by one day.  Today, I am on Acts 12. I should be on Acts 13, but hopefully, I will catch up soon. 

Learn more about the Online Bible study here.  

Oh!!  I just realized that today is the first day of FALL or Autumn or whatever you want to call it.  I like Autumn, myself.  I just love September!! I love Autumn!! 

What's cookin on the old stove this week?  Well, Monday, the Mr. brought home supper that the father in law had cooked. Fried eggplant, and Chicken Spaghetti. Yum!!  Last night, I made smothered pork chops with gravy and onions, along with smashed potatoes, and mac and cheese (for Alex) and dinner rolls. Again, I say YUM!! Tonight, will be leftovers from last night.  Tomorrow and Friday have yet to be decided. I know...I know...very unlike me to NOT have a plan going for two or three weeks in a row now.  I am hoping to get together a menu/grocery shopping list/and shopping trip this weekend. Hopefully. 

Blogging Through The Bible with Good Morning Girls

Good Morning Girls SOAK verse for today.  

We must obey God, rather than men.  Acts 5:29

Blogging Through The Bible with Good Morning Girls

Yesterday, I began the Fall Bible study with Good Morning Girls over here . Yesterday we began with the book of Acts. One chapter a day.

Today, we are in Acts chapter 2. I won't post my personal SOAK for the day, each day.  But I will post the verse of the day from Courtney's site (Women Living Well and Good Morning Girls). I will also post a few pics of exactly what SOAK stands for as well as the Bible Coloring chart.  I will link each graphic back to the Women Living Well website, as these are not my personal graphics, but belong to  Courtney.

My personal SOAK for today, from Acts 2,  just happens to be the same as the verse of the day from GMG (Good Morning Girls).  ACTS 2:21. Everyone who calls upon the name of The Lord shall be saved.

What is SOAK, you ask? You can also learn more about that here. Here is a brief look at what SOAK means

You can also read more about Bible Coloring here  Here is a look the Bible Coloring Chart. 

You can see a little bit of my Bible Coloring from  yesterday here. I'm still trying to learn and get used to this. It's fun though. Who doesn't love to color? It does help to "soak" the scriptures in and helps you to dig a lot deeper. 

Monday

First day of Fall Bible study with Good Morning Girls. ACTS 1. PIcture is of today's Bible Coloring/high lighting and my SOAK journal. First page filled.
