I’m a mother.
I’ve been a mother of six children ages 10 and under.
I’ve been a mother of four teenagers at once.
I know how challenging it can be to keep my head above water. (And I know that many of you know even better than I do!)
I also know how hard it can be to stay in the Word, right during the seasons of life when we need it the very most!
God’s Word is our lifeline! We can’t live life without it!
Read this list of statements the Bible makes about itself. Then ask yourself, “Which of these blessings do I not want in my life?”
- It revives our souls.

- It makes our hearts rejoice.

These will be included at the end of each day’s post.)
