Song of Solomon 10:9 (CEB) says:
But wisdom rescues her servants from their trials.
When I find a verse that is helpful to me or “speaks” to me in some way like this one, I like to look it up in other translations as well. Makes me very glad that I have the Bible app. 🙂 Well, when I tried to look up this verse in other versions, it did not exist. I have never had that happen before, but I just recently started looking at the Common English Bible. (more…)
Today is just a quick update on my small triumphs in my daily prayer time with God. Last week, I talked about how Iwanted to make a committment to have some quiet time to talk to God twice a day.
Well, I put it on my phone’s calendar, set it to remind me when it was time for God, and during the week Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, I was able to keep the routine. Yay! 🙂 I tend to get off track a little on weekends just because my schedule is different – more laid back – on weekends. But this week is a new week and Iam looking forward to that alone time with God!
I see another trial turning into triumph! God is SO good!
Be blessed today and always!

WRONG ANSWER – I know… but it is quite difficult to remember to stop when you have deadlines and kids to pick up on time and dinner to make and on and on and on, right? (more…)
It is Tuesday – time to share about my Trials and Triumphs (hopefully today and on the Tuesdays to come). 🙂
You may be thinking… “I understand why you would like to share about your triumphs – that gives the glory to God, but why share about your trials?” I thought this myself when I originally had the idea to write about both trials AND triumphs.
Well, here is my thinking about that… (more…)
