Notification Issues

Unfortunately, I’ve been having notification issues on blogger. Google+ will soon be discontinued and I’m experiencing the effects of it now. This morning I was reading my Bible and because I wasn’t at home I had to use my Bible app. I realized that there’s a notetaking feature in the app that I could use to communicate my thoughts. So, I’m planning on using both this blog and my YouVersion app for posting. It’s my hope that you’ll be able to keep connected with me in one of those two ways. If you’d like to follow my postings on the Bible App, just add me as a friend there: Maureen S.

Below is my first note:
**************
Hello fellow Bible loving friends! Hello friends who are working on developing their love too! As some of you may know, the past 3 months has been an exciting time for me where I’ve grown to love God’s Word. You may also know that I have started a blog within this time too. (https://thefollowuptalk.blogspot.com)

Because of email subscription and tech issues, God is leading me to rethink the way I share my thoughts and the words God puts in my heart. While reading this morning I thought- why not try sharing my heart right here on this (YouVersion) platform?

I’m not sure this platform will have the features that I appreciated before or fully support my vision, but I’m going to give it a whirl.

Let me know your thoughts.

Insignificance: Parable of the Lost Son

Hello! Women's Prayer Call Series: Parable of the Lost Son Today I want to share my thoughts on the parable of the lost son which is found in Luke 15 verses 11 through 32. When I read through this parable last week, I felt led to talk about the struggle of feeling mentally lost and insignificant because of where you are right now - whatever those circumstances may be. I want you to look at this story and see how Jesus is telling us that God cares a lot about the wellbeing of each and every one of us. I want to encourage you to see how valuable you are to God right where you are. So you know where I’m going with this. Here’s a quick summary of the parable, and I think it’s a good idea to read it in the context of all of chapter 15. Jesus starts with a story of a man losing one of his sheep; he describes how the man leaves the other 99 sheep to go after the 1 that was lost. When the man finds the lost sheep, he puts the sheep on his shoulders, brings it home, and gathers his friends ...

Belly Check

I enjoyed reading Proverbs 20 . In Solomon's style of pointing out observations, he reminds us we need God's counsel to be the compass for our soul. I want to highlight my observations of his message to us. Our Compass : Proverbs 20:9-13 Solomon implores us to assess our actions through the lens of what's right in God's eyes. God is our guide and measurement for what is good and evil. Solomon's warning about sleep points to a spiritual slumber caused by not growing in our faith in God. This leads to an impoverished soul. Solomon says to "open thine eyes." We need to be alert and be aware of our spiritual state of being. We need to cultivate our spirit with God's word and direction. Solomon points out that when our eyes are open, we "shalt be satisfied with bread," meaning our soul will be filled. Our Counsel : Proverbs 20:5, 20:18, 20:24 I pondered over these verses for some time because I had a feeling there was something good that ne...

A Hope for Something New

It's been a while since I last posted. Though I missed blogging and felt an internal pressure to write, I decided to not give in to my inner critic and took a break. I was still reading my Bible and finished reading Proverbs, however, my joy in getting up early in the morning waned. I am going to experiment with some other times in the day to see what will work for me now. Over the past year I have learned and accepted that I'm not a creature of habit. I love to hop around and multitask and dive into different projects. With this in mind, it kind of makes sense that my attempt at keeping to a regular schedule of getting up at 5 am would not last forever. 😂 Because of my struggle with this, my practice of writing down my thoughts and doing a deep dive to understand what I was reading slowly stopped. I missed the deep dive and I hope with recreating my schedule, I can do some more writing and then some more blogging. Anyone else have this same struggle with trying to stick to a ...
