Monday Ponderings {Day 23}

Save me, God,

for the water has risen to my neck.

I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;

I have come into deep water,

and a flood sweeps over me.

But as for me, LORD,

my prayer to you is for a time of favor.

In your abundant, faithful love, God,

answer me with your sure salvation.

~Psalm 69:1-2, 13 CSB

โ€œEase your whiskers, rest your paws,

Pies and puddings fill the stores.

Sweetly dream the night away,

Till sunshine brings another day.โ€

~ Jill Barklem

Saturday Examen + Homeschool Snapshots week 2 {Day 22}

Prayer for the coming weekโ€ฆ

โ€œThe Spirit of the LORD spoke through me, his word was on my tongue.โ€

King David, from 2 Samuel 23:2

Hello, Friends! โ™ฅ๏ธโ˜•๏ธ๐ŸŒปI realize Iโ€™ve been a bit scarce as we dive into our new home educating year, I hope to get back to my 180 Day Project soon. Hereโ€™s a few shots from our weekโ€ฆ

How was your week? Ours was good, albeit looong! ๐Ÿ˜โ™ฅ๏ธโ˜•๏ธ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒฟ

โ€ขfaithfulโ€ข {Day 16}

But I will sing of your strength

and will joyfully proclaim

your faithful love in the morning.

For you have been a stronghold for me,

a refuge in my day of trouble.

To you, my strength, I sing praises,

because God is my stronghold ~

my faithful God.

Psalm 59:16-17 CSB

Saturday Examen {Day 5}

The smell coming out of our public library was intoxicating! ๐Ÿ˜โ™ฅ๏ธ

I really enjoy this app and that they make Saturday a time of spiritual reflection over the past week. โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป I highly recommend listening (you can listen on their website, too!)

I jotted down their questions this week and found it so refreshing and challenging to honestly pray through them. Itโ€™s sobering to deeply examine oneself in the light of our Lord!

Does the LORD take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD?

Look: to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.

from 1 Samuel 15:22-23 CSB

How was your week? ๐ŸŒฒโ™ฅ๏ธ๐ŸŒฒ

โ€ขsweetnessโ€ข {Day 2}

Lord, you do not withhold your compassion from me. Your constant love and truth will always guard me.

~Ps. 40:11

The Lord will send his faithful love by day; his song will be with me in the night – a prayer to the God of my life.

~Ps. 42:8

What secrets fly out of the earth

when I push the shovel-edge,

when I heave the dirt open?

And if there are no secrets

what is that smell that sweetness rising?

~ Mary Oliver

โ€ขnorthโ€ข

The LORD then said to me, โ€˜Youโ€™ve been traveling around this hill country long enough; turn northโ€ฆ

For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this immense wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these past forty years, and you have lacked nothing.โ€™

Deuteronomy 2:2-3,7 CSB

โ€ขbuildโ€ข

All that we build is going to be inspected by God. When God inspects us with His searching and refining fire, will He detect that we have built enterprises of our own on the foundation of Jesus? (see 1 Corinthians 3:10-15)

Monday Ponderings โ„๏ธ

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
