The Learning Bible

So, I finally received my other study Bible. I ordered it on May 13. It was supposed to have been here by 5/24. There was a shipping hiccup and it was a day late. Here it is:

I went for the NIV because it was a bit cheaper.  The CEV was more than twice as much.
The ribbon is only on the cover to hide the inscription. It did not come with the Bible. 

It seems to be in great shape. The spine seems a bit worn but it is also a heavy and thick Bible. 
By my measurements, it is about 9.5 " tall and the spine is roughly 2.5" wide.

Here are some pics inside.  

  

What I love about this Bible is all the pictures, notes as well as a buffet of cultural, history and other info.  I am looking forward to jumping into it.

Here is a list of features and the ISBN number.

I'm taking part in a challenge to only use one Bible this month, so I have not yet had a chance to check it out completely. If you would like a full review, my friend, Cat Woods, has a pretty indepth one here.  She also has a review for many others, including the Quest Bible I received recently on another order.

Restickable Glue Sticks

I don't know how many do and don't know about this, so I'm sharing. 

This is one of my absolute favorite Bible Journaling tools!! 

Seriously, this is in my Bible bag. It goes with me!

There are so many things that you can use this to stick into your Bible! 

I have also used it to make a master to do list and put it into my planner, so that I can move it with me through the week. Sometimes, I take a regular piece of notepad paper and write random things and put into my Bible. One of those is a list of books that I am currently wanting to write out.

They are pretty cheap. Amazon has them but it is cheaper and faster to go to Office Depot, if you have that availability. They are only around $2.50 there.

What is your absolute favorite tool? Any crayzee tips that we might not have thought of?

"Isn't One Bible enough??" And Buying Tips

A common question is "Why does anyone need more than one Bible? Isn't one enough?

The answer is dependent upon each individual. For some people, one Bible is enough. However, there are benefits to having more than one, even in the same translation.

😄My husband never seemed to understand before but I think he is starting to by now (I hope).  He is a "one Bible is enough" person.  I don't knock him for that.  I think one is all that is necessary.  That is enough to allow you access to God's Word to be able to read it and write it on your heart.  However, I definitely see the benefits of having multiples.  

The reason so many collect them and/ or feel a need to have more is because the extra helps and content are different.  There are devotional Bibles that are more leaning toward prayer and making you think on a heart and principal level. There are study Bibles that go in great detail about timelines and other facts about the culture, etc.  There are journaling Bibles that allow you to doodle and draw pictures to help you remember a verse or a time that was meaningful to you that God spoke to your heart.   Some people use journaling Bibles to write their notes on the side margins, instead of a separate notebook.  

I have multiple NIV but each has a different reason why I go to it.  It is easier to find what you are looking for with themes.  The Leadership Bible has where to find examples of leadership in the Bible. Another is for highlighting verses about my word of the year, all in one place, so that I am not sifting through different kinds of markings to find all of them by topic.  One is a devotional Bible dedicated to focusing on or improving your prayer life.  I just ordered 2 more from Amazon.  One is The Learning Bible and has tons of cultural and geographical info, etc., and the other is Quest Study Bible.  The last one has TONS of questions and answers to help your understanding of what you are reading.  Some only feel lead to have one Bible and there is NOTHING wrong with that.😊  These are just reasons why some keep buying more.  I hope this helps.

I told my husband, "Look. Collecting Bibles isn't your thing and that is fine.  You have things you collect and there are definitely worse things that I could be into." I think he finally somewhat understands at least. That doesn't mean he agrees.  Any time I mention wanting a new one, he says, "ANOTHER Bible?!" 🙈 lol Oy!

I don't pay full price, either. I try to limit myself to between $10 and $15. It is actually more like between $5 and $10 unless there is a special reason (like gifting).  I got my ESV Journaling single column at ChristianBook when it was 10.99 (marble) and I got the large, print thumb index version, of The Study Bible for women (HCSB) for my mom, slightly imperfect for 14.99.

Instead of getting the same Bible for me, I got the older version smoke leather (imperfectly imprinted) AND the hardback  large print not indexed- (I prefer to tab myself) -slightly imperfect- BOTH for about $15 total. This is the best way for me to expand.

You have to look SUPER close to the top left corner to see the tear in the spine. 

There is also a tiny wrinkle at the bottom. I haven't really noticed anything else. 

The imperfectly imprinted is when they engrave it but it isn't right. They cut the name out and put a similar piece of leather to kind of cover it. This leaves a cut mark on the cover of the Bible. You can see where it is cut out but the integrity of the book is absolutely fine. Here is how I handled that. ;) 

 I lucked out and found The Power Of A Praying Woman through Goodwill on Amazon for $4. 

I had seen The Life Application Study Bible, I believe, quite awhile back on Amazon (hardback) for about $5. I missed out because I didn't act quickly. I'm not trying to make a list.  I just wanted to help anyone else who might be wanting another Bible but wasn't aware of the types of deals you can get.

Places like Lifeway and Half Price Books are great but I know that they are a bit out of my range right now. Though, some LifeWay stores are closing. I'm sad at that but maybe, for those areas, it would be a good time to buy. 

A great option is to go imperfect or used. Most of them, I can't even tell they have anything "wrong" with them except a spine dent or wrinkle. The used The Power of A Praying Woman Bible was in mint condition but no box. I also like to browse the $5 sales. I'm hopefully going to be using some of these Bibles above more often with the reading plan. 

Sometimes a used Bible really has been used. It is up to you to decide if you are comfortable with possible markings from the previous owner.  I, for the most part, am good with it. I just figure it is coming "pre-loaded with character". lol  

I think that it is interesting to find out what that person was drawn to. What spoke to them? Did they leave any notes that will water my seeds of faith, like it did their own?  

My recent Quest Study Bible did come somewhat "pre-loaded" with regular orange highlighter. It bled through in some places.  I have not had a proper chance yet to see what passages they highlighted. I only know that, according to the reading plan, they had read quite a bit and maybe even consistently. However, the only books that have any heavy highlighting are some of the Gospels and a little bit in Ezekiel. For about $4.50, that is fine by me. I can still benefit from the rest of the information just fine.

 

 

I am still waiting for The Learning Bible.  It has had a major shipping hiccup.  It was scanned into the original USPS facility. It shows Denver, Co. (last week).  After 4 days of not moving so much as 2 hours instate, in any direction, I contacted the USPS. They told me to contact the sender because they didn't see it in the system. This was Friday afternoon. 

So, the seller (from Amazon) said they would contact the carrier. Fast forward through the weekend. I contacted support near the end of day on Monday. They apologized for not having been able to get to the bottom of it sooner but they would let me know. 

They contacted me to tell me that the USPS was working to find a way to get the info updated on my side. I don't remember the exact wording. It would seem to me that nobody has scanned the blasted thing since it arrived. Support told me it had been scanned internally but not specifically for the tracking ticket. 

Well, today was the last day of the original shipping window. I haven't heard anything since early this week. It is now Friday. I ordered on the 13th of May.  My Quest Bible was ordered the same day, with the same wait window and was delivered successfully (on May 16th), a day earlier than the expected window start time of  May 17th-24. I hope it is finally here today. If not, I think it is time to cancel. 

Blessings to you and I hope you have a beautiful start to a very blessed and beautiful weekend!


If you would like a full review over this Bible, my friend, Cat Woods, has one here. She has many other reviews and other types of videos as well.

On my wishlist...

 <3 I did not get these Bibles but I really like them. I just wanted to share in case it helped anyone else.

As I said in the previous post, the prices at Ollie's seemed on par with Christianbook to me. The upside was that I could see them, hold them, and look inside of some of them. Some were sealed.

I almost got The Everyday Life Bible from Joyce Meyer. They had it in paperback. It was only $4.99. I got excited but when I skimmed through, I didn't feel it. You know what I mean. Some Bibles you just feel a connection to. I am not cover picky on most Bibles and some I love that they are paperback. It makes me feel like it truly is a textbook. I was a study nerd in school, so I feel ready to dig in. However, I really thought before this was one I would rather have leather and I was right. Just my opinion. Having said that, if it was the only way I could ever get that one, I would have snapped it up at that price.

The first one that I looked into that I loved was the Zondervan Study Bible. Each translation and/ or publisher seems to have their own. I was curious about the differences. I picked it up and was in love with this one. The first reason is that it is a "chunky monkey." 😂 I don't know how to describe it. It just "felt" full of knowledge!! LOL I like that the footnotes are in a green background so that there is contrast from the scriptures. I like the color images sprinkled throughout. I just generally liked this one.

 

I have heard of both the Know The Word and the Apply The Word. Sometimes I forget which is which. They had the KJV Word Study Bible in store. 

The last one is the Faithlife Illustrated Study Bible. It's another great one. I love the pics of the fishing boats and the architecture/ structures. That is something I haven't seen so much of so far.

These are just a few of the Bibles on my wishlist. 

Do you have any Bibles on your wishlist? Which one(s)?

Ollie's haul...

I went to Ollie's for the first time the other day. For those who, like me, didn't know what Ollie's is, it is sort of like Big Lots. They have name brand buyouts. If a major store or brand is liquidating their stock, Ollie's might be a potential buyer.  Then, they pass the savings on to customers.

The books were on my list to look at but I was there to see other things, too. I walked in and the first thing I saw was the books to the right. I got giddy for a second. lol I was hoping I might find a super fantastic deal on a Bible. I remembered Elizabeth and John, in the book of Luke, when pregnant Mary walked into the house. lol I had a jolt in my spirit.

I will do a separate post on the ones I only looked at. I did end up buying a few books that I am excited about. I think some of you will be, too. I couldn't believe my 👀! Fervent for $2.99! 😍Yes, please! I wanted it when a couple of Facebook groups I'm part of did their challenges earlier in the year but it was 9.99. I also got Beth Moore's Audacious. I love the way she teaches. I skipped ahead and I know the answer. 🙃 That is okay, it only made me want to buy it even more. 














;)

The last one is a journal. It has a scripture and a reminder for mothers to take heart and have hope. <3 I think there has never been a mother who hasn't worried that they got it wrong or are doing it wrong. Mothers who are maybe a little worn or just need some encouragement. I couldn't pass this up. 😊It was the first thing in my cart. It Is beautiful inside and out. I am a journal geek and I love devotions and introspection. The pages have a gold gilding but I forget what type it is called. When the book is open, they have a design. When you close it, it is gold. It has one dark blue ribbon marker. I have made sure to include the ISBN for both, just in case anyone else was interested. I know Ollie's is trying to be open everywhere but, so far, they are not.

Here are some closeups of them. First is the back cover of Audacious.

Here is the back of the devotional journal and some of the other views, as well.

   

  

I hope that you enjoyed this post. If you have an Ollie's near you, it might be a good time to drop in and see what kind of deals that you can find. I don't know if they always have this many Bibles but I know they were advertising an Inspirational Buyout. I am not sure from whom. They seemed on some of the Bibles to be about the same pricing as Christianbook.com but in a Big Lots kind of setting. The plus for me was being able to see and hold them in person. Sometimes you just know what you like.

I will say that, perhaps, some of the deals were better than I thought. I can't recall which one but it was $24.99. I remember thinking that was normal on Christianbook. Yet, after I got home and was looking at the Christianbook website, the price had actually gone up. The sales fluctuate all the time between higher and lower sale prices. For right now, Ollie's would have been the better buy. However, I am not able to drop that much on one right now, no matter how awesome it is. I had just recently ordered 2 used ones from Amazon.  I will post those soon.

Blessings to you!!  I hope you have had a great week and are ready for a fabulous weekend! 

My Redeemer Lives

This was an excellent message. Sometimes we are going through seasons when we are really struggling.
She speaks about Job in relation to those difficult seasons in our lives.

I am sure that it will be a blessing to you. Keep pressing into His presence.
Praise Him especially when it is the hardest. <3

Digging into the Word

😍 An amazing thing happened to me today!

I have been struggling with distractions keeping me from getting into the Word. However, while I was watching a sermon online this morning, I pulled out my study Bible to look up the verse. I read it but wanted to keep reading after the pastor was finished with the targeted verses. :D I was excited at the idea of digging in! Yay!

I will post the link to the sermon when it is archived.

Today's Scripture Reading/ Study.

Yay!  I was able to focus in my study Bible to just read chapters Luke 1-10. 
I was listening to it through Bible Gateway and following in my Bible. 
😁 I had no time to get distracted by reading the notes or I would be lost.  

I not only finished that but rewarded myself with studying and reading the notes in chapter 10 for Bible study later today. I'm happy. I also put some stickies in for things I wanted to remember. The thought bubble is from a verse I came across while doing a scripture writing plan, Cultivating A Quiet Heart. 
I love it. The green ink is what was laid on my heart while I was reading it. I had some people flash through my mind. Holy Spirit lead me.

What I have been up to lately...

Good morning, all!   

I just wanted to do a quick update on some things that I have done or am doing recently.  

(*For those that don't know, I actually use a Note Taker Bible (NASB) for my journaling. The margins are different but about the same amount of space. It is just split into side and bottom.) 

This first pic started out just being part of the chorus of the song Lifesong by Casting Crowns that stuck out to me on that particular day. I printed the words in a few different fonts on a regular sheet of paper and printed it out. I was originally going to trim a curve around the words. I cut it down to this rectangle until it was colored the way I wanted. I was going to trim it down after that. However, then I got the bright idea to use acrylic paints. I used a gift card type card and spread it thinly but it started to cover over the words. I traced over it in black ink pen. I had only done the words but thought maybe I should keep going with the paint. I added the green around the edge. I started to notice a woodsy type look to it. I added the stickers and highlighted the edges in colored glitter glue. blue on blue, green on green. I really love the way that it turned out. Colossians 3:15-17 are some favorite verses of mine. I tied this to verse 17.

I have always loved this verse in Proverbs. The first time I read it, I don't remember the translation, it said, "How long will you lie there, O lazybones?" It made me laugh because it sounded so straight forward and not like KJV English.  I agree with the thought, though.  I really thought these sloth stickers were cute, too...AND it even had one that said "lazybones", lol, so  I had to!  I got them at Michael's. They are normally $2 but they were on a whiz-bang sale for a buck.

I really wanted to decorate the title pages in some way and wanted it to be uniform. I used a banner stencil on the title and then used gel pens to color it.  I really love the descriptions. I was inspired by a FB group that I am in. Someone asked about one word descriptions of each book. I found two lists. There are a couple that are basically the same. However, Most are different. I am done with the Old Testament banners. I am doing a lighter yellow (less aged) in the NT. I want to go back and do a stencil on top of the pages as well. This is a work in progress. 

This is the inside cover of another Bible, The Study Bible for Women (HCSB translation). A little scrapbook paper, glue and washi tape. I loved that quote one of the ladies in the group posted. So, I wrote it out on a sticky note and stuck it into the front. 

I was inspired by the Names of God. I looked them up on Pinterest to see if I could find a list. I did find these. I added the "My Hero" part because I don't know how anyone can look at all these attributes and names and not see a true hero!  I had started the page to the left but got zealous and decided to put ALL the names.  LOL WELL...I don't think that is going to happen. There are WAY more than I thought. I will just have to pick as many as I can. I have a whole sheet of paper, folded in half, essentially, allotted for that. 

This is another pinspiration.  I felt connected to this pin. The pic on the left shows the paper folded as a tip-up (same as a tip-in but pulled up). I used Scotch acid free Restickable glue stick to adhere it.  I absolutely love those!  They are the same glue as the Post-It notes. I got that tip from Jason Mayfield in a Youtube video. 

I hope you like what I have shared or found something in the way that I approached it that is useful to you. I have so many posts that I want to share with you. I am trying to get the timing worked out. Huge blessings to you and yours!  Have a great week!

Mighty warriors...

I have been fellowshipping with some dear sisters in Christ this evening. They are such a blessing and what a privilege to have such a loving Father to bring us all together.

This was on my heart earlier this evening and I shared it in an FB group. I wanted to share it here, too.

🌹👍 I think we all need a reminder. I know that I do! It becomes mundane and "status quo" to focus on our surroundings, our "life." However, our TRUE life lies in Jesus Christ.
Here is the reminder:
Don't tell God how big your problems are.
Tell your problems how BIG your God is!!

🙌 What a MIGHTY, MIGHTY God we serve!! Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.(Rom. 14:11) Don't listen to the enemy feeding you lies about your "situation", your "diagnosis", your "finances", your "shortcomings", or your "failures." The devil IS A LIAR. (John 8:44) Ephesians 6:12, "because to us the wrestling is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Berean Literal Bible)

GOD, the same God, that flung the stars into the sky and breathed LIFE into the universe Gen. 1), and knew you before He formed you (Jer. 1:5) says that NO WEAPON formed against you shall prosper.(Isaiah 54:17) He calls you His own.(Isaiah 43:1) He rejoices over you with singing.(Zeph. 3:17) He is for you and not against you.(Heb. 13:5) Straighten your armor and raise your sword! They enemy is the one who needs to cower. Not us. We are chosen(1 Pet. 2:4-6), called ((Rom. 8:28-30), and loved (Rom. 5:8; 1 John 4:19). Jesus has ALL authority over the powers of darkness and He lives in us. (Col. 2:8-10) Victory is already ours.(Rom. 8:37; 1 Cor. 15:57)

🏆 💕 We are victors not victims!

<3 Be blessed and victorius!!

"Transform"

Hello everyone!  

I just wanted to take a little bit of time to check in and say howdy. 

I have been working through quite a few things to gear up and prepare for all this year holds. I'm not even completely sure that I know what that entails yet. However, I am positive that He holds the future (Jer. 29:11) and that His thoughts and ways are higher (and better) than mine. (Isaiah 55:9) I am F.R.O.G.ging it, for sure.  (Fully Relying On God)

One of the first things I know is that my word of the year is transform.  I am part of a few God-centered groups on Facebook. Posts started going up around December about each person's word of the year for 2019. I thought mine was going to be something like anxiety or fear. However, the Lord led me to this one instead through scripture.  

My scripture of the year is Romans 12:2,  "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." (NASB)

I also like these versions. I have adopted the second one for sure.

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." (NLT)

"Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God--what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect." (Good News Translation, GNT) 

"And do not imitate this world, but be transformed by the renovation of your minds, and you shall distinguish what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God."  (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)

What I love about comparing different versions of the Bible is that you get a more full and complete picture of what it is trying to say.  These 4 verses are basically saying the same thing. Yet, there are subtle and telling differences. For instance, "the renewing of your mind" means what, exactly?  Left on its own, that could maybe mean multiple things. 

Yet, in comparing the other translations, it is made clear that there is a silent understanding that "renewing" it is through reading God's Word and being willing to listen to Him. "but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think."  "but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind."   How does God change your thinking, which changes your mind? He does it through a personal relationship with Him and with the reading of His Word. 

I also love the word "renovation" in the Aramaic translation.  That goes hand in hand with the NLT use of the phrase "new person"  When you renovate a house, you usually do a complete overhaul of a room or the entire structure. It is nothing like what it was before. Renovation would also be a "complete change of your mind."  There is no second-guessing the meaning here. A true transformation in the sense of this verse comes only from within. 

So, we are allowing God the access to override (overhaul, renovate, and change) any thinking, protocols, or reactions that are either incorrect, defective, and displeasing to Him in order to replace them with thinking that is true, effective and desirable to Him. He has given us free will to make our own decisions. Those decisions we make every day can lead to either blessings or dire consequences. We don't have to let him rewire our minds. Yet, if we choose to, we can live a more pleasing and blessed life, even to our own eyes, through Him. 

God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) Why, then, do we allow ourselves to buy into the lies of the devil that tells us things about how defeated and worthless we are? 

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and [a]have it abundantly." (John 10:10)  

We are the sons and daughters of the most high God. If He is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) He will never leave us or forsake us. (Deut. 31:8) He who has begun a good work in us will be faithful to complete it. (Phil. 1:6) He has made a way for us out of the iniquity of our sin. We are not bound to this world and its fate. Jesus paid for our salvation with His own life and blood. (Rom. 5:8) All we have to do is accept Him into our hearts (John 1:12) and to take up our cross and follow Him. (Matt. 16:24) If we abide in Him, He will abide in us. (John 15:5)

What have we to lose by allowing God to inwardly and completely change the way we think, except sin and death?  Of all the things that God, Himself, chose to model, He chose compassion and love. No one, nor any other spirit, is more worthy than He to lead us in the way we should go. 

(*The words in blue are emphasized by me for reference of transform.)

Romans 6  (NiRV)

"What should we say then? Should we keep on sinning so that God’s grace can increase? 2 Not at all! As far as sin is concerned, we are dead. So how can we keep on sinning? 3 All of us were baptized into Christ Jesus. Don’t you know that we were baptized into his death? 4 By being baptized, we were buried with Christ into his death. Christ has been raised from the dead by the Father’s glory. And like Christ we also can live a new life.

5 By being baptized, we have been joined with him in a death like his. So we will certainly also be joined with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that what we used to be was nailed to the cross with him. That happened so our bodies that were ruled by sin would lose their power. So we are no longer slaves of sin. 7 That’s because those who have died have been set free from sin.

8 We died with Christ. So we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again. Death doesn’t control him anymore. 10 When he died, he died once and for all time. He did this to break the power of sin. Now that he lives, he lives in the power of God.

11 In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead as far as sin is concerned. Now you believe in Christ Jesus. So consider yourselves to be alive as far as God is concerned. 12 So don’t let sin rule your body, which is going to die. Don’t obey its evil desires. 13 Don’t give any part of yourself to serve sin. Don’t let any part of yourself be used to do evil. Instead, give yourselves to God. You have been brought from death to life. So give every part of yourself to God to do what is right. 14 Sin will no longer control you like a master. That’s because the law does not rule you. God’s grace has set you free." 

I am looking forward to all the changes and strides of improvement that will be made in my life this year. Some may be evident and many may not be. My internal thoughts, reflections, and attitudes may not be visible but I am sure they will be different because they are already in the process of evolving. I am mindful of His commandments. I am becoming slower to become angry.  I am striving to forgive as quickly as He forgave me and to pray for those that curse me. I am sure that I still have a long way to go but it is a definite start. 

I pray that all of you are blessed and continually reaching for God. The more you lean into Him and dwell in His presence, the more you will want to lean into His presence.  Let Him inwardly change the way you think and renovate your heart and mind as well. 😉  Be ye transformed. 💖

Free Printable Scripture and Prayer Cards

Hey there!
I love many things. One of those is prayer and another is free printables. 😃
I found these on Pinterest and wanted to share the links with you. I will add more links in the future for free printables. I plane to use these in my Bible journaling and prayer binder.  I hope you enjoy them. By the way, they may say "mom" but the scriptures will fit anyone who feels weary, overwhelmed or needs encouragement. Be blessed!

Scripture:
Scriptures For The Weary Mom
30 Encouraging Scriptures For The Defeated Mom
15 Inspirational Verses

Scripture but not cards:
40 Scriptures To Combat Worry, Fear, Anxiety and Panic

Prayer Request cards:
Floral print from With Giggles and Grace

Blank Envelope Template (separate site but also fits above cards)

Here is what I have done so far for my own use.  This is what the above cards and envelope look like.  The patterned paper was free online to print. I plan to add the envelope in the back of my Bible for prayer requests while I am out or just when I am at home and think of it. You could also tuck them into your purse or briefcase, etc. On the envelope, I didn't have any scrapbook paper handy and had already printed the envelope outline onto cardstock. I would recommend decorated card stock if you want to skip gluing the patterned paper over it. I printed the outline on the back side of the patterned paper, then trimmed it up and glued it onto the cardstock. The last step was to fold the envelope and glue it to shape. 

New songs (to me) but so far I love them.

I ran across these on Youtube. I love Bethel Music. I love most of the voices I hear from them. Steffanie is no different. Just beautiful and the heart of worship, also. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. God bless and have a wonderful week!


Defender - Steffany Gretzinger

I have heard this song before and absolutely loved it the first time I heard it.
I love the words of encouragement here:

Reckless Love (plus an encouraging word) - Steffany Gretzinger

This was another new one to me. I hope that you will take a listen and be blessed. 💗

No Longer Slaves

This is a favorite song as well. It also does my heart good to see such young hearts singing it from deep within. Praise God!

Worship...

💗 So much on my heart and mind that I may not even truly be aware of. Reaching out to Him this morning in thanks, reverence, prayer and praise.🙌
