Now, it's not exactly finished; it's just functional now. I'm taking a sample of the color to get a paint match. Then I need to sand and repaint it, but it'll do for now :)
My next project is to make Ariah a light table, but that's going to have to wait till tomorrow. I'll make sure to explain how to make the table and some activities Ariah can do with it. Ariah's going to flip when she sees it.
Alright, before I close, I want to share some of my first thoughts on the women's Bible study I will be writing this year. I started to pick up my commentaries, concordances, and Bibles when it hit me. I don't know where to start! My goal is to discover what the Bible says about our role as wives and mothers, but I can't begin there. I can't say "This is what a wife should do" without discussing marriage, a divine institution. An institution that is based on vows made to and before God. To be the best wife and mother I can be, Christ must be the center of my life as well as the center of my relationships with my husband and child. So, the first chapter will not be about wives and mothers, it will be about women and our role as Believers. Salvation is a critical part in the role of a godly woman, wife and mother so it only makes sense that the opening and foundation of this study begin there.
Wish me luck....I have a feeling this will be the most important and complicated topic I tackle. Salvation is so easy, and yet it is so difficult. The Holy Spirit must work in a person and make them relaize their sinful nature and their need for a Savior. After that realization, the person must submit to God's will and power in their lives. Saying the words is so easy, but letting go isn't.
Well, I guess that's a pretty good starting point. I obviously need some Scripture and more explanation, but it's a start.
And with that, I'm leaving you all for a date with my pillow. Good night!
