Day 4

 “Get wisdom; get insight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;
love her, and she will guard you.
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get insight.” Proverbs 4:5-7
 

So Simple ‘Get Wisdom’ yet very complicated because of how we make things much more complex than necessary. This chapter brings it back to the basics; if you want wisdom then start with wisdom because that is the beginning of wisdom…to get it. I think I just made my head hurt lol.

Baking Gone Crazy

This week I am preparing for the Great Escape (our fall weekend retreat) by preparing I mean planning and prepping food for 40ish people. Which really is not all that bad until I get to the point that where we will be this weekend does not have a kitchen that we can access (no oven, no sink, no microwave, nothing) So I am planning to cook with the grill, griddle and crockpot and I am up for the challenge!

So since I have plenty to worry about during the weekend I figured I would pre-make the desserts and rolls. So that was what I did last night; baked approx. 100 rolls, 3 kinds of cookies (3 dozen molasses, 4 dozen Monster, 6 dozen chocolate chip) and tons of muffins probably about 6 or so dozen, with more that needs to be done today!

But here is the menu: I am pretty excited
Friday – Hamburgers and hot dogs with Cheesy potatoes (cook and bring with) and Rice and pie.
Saturday – Breakfast – pancakes and bacon
Lunch- Soup Soup and Grilled Cheese with cookies
Dinner BBQ Chicken with stuffing and green beans with brownies
Sunday – Breakfast – Muffins and fruit

 YUM!!

Day 3

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Pretty common knowledge verse, well at least we know the words to it. But when you look deeper at the actual meaning, don’t lean on your understanding, acknowledge Christ in all ways and he will make you path straight. Lean on Christ, acknowledge Christ and Christ will make a straight path.

Day 2

“For the Lord gives wisdom from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.” Proverbs 2:6-8

This just reminds me that knowledge comes from the mouth of the LORD and by reading his word I am able to receive that knowledge and grasp the understanding. Then also knowing that walking in integrity though it is a daily challenge and struggle it is what God requires and he will guard and protect his people.

Welcome to October and My Very Own Proverbs Challenge

This month Megan and I are going through the book of Proverbs, One chapter each day. I am super excited to see what the LORD has to teach us through this journey. Each day I will post a verse that stood out to me. J

Day 1 “The fear of the Lord is the Beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” Proverbs 1:7

This is super cool reading through today was a lot about fearing the LORD and I have had tons of conversations with the girls I am disciplining about what it means to fear the LORD and how that look and such. To be reminded that when we fear the LORD we are on the track of knowledge is just plain encouraging!
