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.

The Expanse

I participated in a Zoom prayer call tonight with other women at my church and at the end I just had that feeling of loveliness. It felt good, it felt connected, and it made me want to connect with God even more. I opened my Bible and read Jeremiah 2:2 .  Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord, “I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.” My thoughts after reading this was: Lord increase my wonder of You.  When things are brand new we have a strong urge to learn more, seek more, engage more. When the shine wears off, we become complacent and less interested. Maybe it’s because we feel we’ve learned all we need to know. Maybe it’s because we are too comfortable in the now. Maybe it’s because we can’t see the possibility of there being so much more for us to gain.  When it comes to my spirit and You, God, please open my eyes to see the expanse of all that you have for me to...

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 ...

Advice, Short & Sweet

The chapters I've read and reflected on for the past couple of days had good advice that stood out to me here and there. I noticed an overriding theme that wisdom comes through controlling our hearts, reactions, and in checking how we relate with other people. Below is a list of verses that were key for me. Proverbs 16 gives good instruction on having wisdom over your emotions and spirit. 16:2 : This verse tells us that the Lord weighs our spirit. It's not enough to do the right things. God wants our motivations to be pure and righteous too. 16:20 : Here we see that using wisdom to handle the issues we face will bring about good results. We also learn that trusting in God, will bring us happiness. 16:32 : Here is encouragement to temper our anger. Don't let it fly off the handle. God tells us that controlling our angry emotions and spirit makes us strong. Proverbs 17 gives good instruction on having wisdom in how we treat each other. 17:15 : We should treat each...
