Katy’s Weblog
When I need a break from reading heavy material, I read a Christian Hero biography series. I can read one in a few hours and fulfill my monthly book read.
I have not heard of Ida Scudder. I think I will highlight her in mission sharing with the church children one day. She served as a missionary doctor in India as a single woman from 1900-1960!
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a long time. Finally borrowed it off of Pastor A’s shelf.
JMac wrote the book in response to the issue of people who deny lordship salvation. I didn’t even know that was an issue until recently. I assume everyone knows that when you ask Jesus to be your Savior, you understand He becomes your Lord. However, there are Bible teachers who teach otherwise.
Read more of “The Gospel According to Jesus by John Macarthur, Jr.”
“I like the way you dress!” That’s probably the first time I’ve ever heard that said to me!
My sister is the one with the fashion sense. I would wear the same thing everyday if I could. My favorite store is Salvation Army Thrift Store.
Today I wore a trench coat that I bought more…
It was a perfect day to be outdoors, so hubby and I went to the park. We found a flat basketball on the court, it was so fun just trying to shoot baskets! We probably hit less than 10% accurately haha. No one was there to laugh at us except ourselves.
I showed the children some pictures of the beginning of our church up to now. I included a picture of how we had to take out the bungalows, so we can build a new building.
3rd grader: Why did we take out the bungalows?
Me: So we have room to build the new building.
Today was relaxing, I didn’t have any responsibilities with the kids. I treated myself and went to SS and worship service.
I made my rounds first and made a point to say hi to a 3rd grade boy.
Boy: I wish Maks is here. We can sit together and we can handle it.
I spent the better part of the day just reading. But I’m a slow reader and get distracted.
So I set a timer for 10 minutes to see how many pages I read. Guess how many pages I read? 5
At this pace, I can only read 30 pages in an hour. But that’s not…
Yesterday I made yogurt in my instantpot.
Today I made kumquat marmalade and granola.
I’ve succeeded in passing on the love of homemaking to my daughters. They are both successful engineers, but ready to give up their careers to put home as a priority. They don’t think of it as a sacrifice because it’s fun and challenging. It takes great skill to be a homemaker.
I have so much to learn, so little time.
I am learning what family ministry looks like for our church.
I am learning what a Christ-exalting children ministry would look like.
I am learning the centrality of Jesus in my walk with God.
Yes, I knew these things before. But lately I feel like I am learning all over again, perhaps at a different level.
I told my son-in-law today that I wish I was younger so I can stay in my job longer. I think I’ve been saying this recently.
At the interview for this job 7 years ago, I told the search committee that I don’t see myself working beyond 5 years. I never wanted the pressure of working in ministry. I thought ministry as a job would take all the fun out of ministry.
