I have finally done a couple of simple Bible journaling pages with highlighter, gel pen, watercolor, and pictures of flowers. I covered a page about blood sacrifice in red. I started in Deuteronomy because it isn't exactly my favorite book of the Bible, so I'm less worried about messing up. I also think it might … Continue reading Bible Journaling

Silence as Feminine Silk
Silence is silky, feminine. A soft voice is an earthly slice of paradise. My husband talks for me a lot. I lean on him heavily in stores and at restaurants, and in a variety of social situations. Exclusivity makes femininity a treat. Not everyone gets access to me. I speak to people who interest me … Continue reading Silence as Feminine Silk
Husbands Have Authority Over Their Wives
A man has the right to set rules for his family, including his wife. Feminism often pushes egalitarian relationships, but this is not biblical. Scripture calls on women to submit to their husbands, not the other way around. This doesn't mean major decisions shouldn't be discussed. A wise man will hear his wife out and … Continue reading Husbands Have Authority Over Their Wives
It’s the Little Things
To show your husband you love him, try to do the little things. There are so many things you can do. Pick something that would appeal to your husband. Below is a little list of loving gestures you can do for your husband. It is by no means exhaustive. Put his towel in the dryer … Continue reading It’s the Little Things
Losing Control Gives Security
Having my big strong man in charge gives me a tremendous sense of security. I have zero control over my life. And I've had to learn to trust that my husband and God will take care of me. That trust is a feeling of free fall, then of serenity. I can just serenely be. God … Continue reading Losing Control Gives Security
Faith Collages
I felt a little better today. I picked up, did some cleaning, got dinner going, and even wrote some poetry! My book is truly underway. I plan to self-publish next fall. I need to make the most of the days I feel ok. I never know when I'll get them. I have too much housework … Continue reading Faith Collages
The First Time God Ever Spoke to Me
I was 18. It was the winter of my senior year of high school. I was sitting in my room hiding from the gray weather and my family. A voice spoke to me and said, "Go to the church," and told me to take my camera. I said no. It was cold, I didn't like … Continue reading The First Time God Ever Spoke to Me
Logos
I saw in an email from a seminary I have donated to that if you donate monthly, they will gift you the Logos Bible software. I'd heard of that before, so I decided to look into it. So far, I only have the free version on my phone, and I am amazed with it. So … Continue reading Logos
Doom Scrolling/Food
I've decided my social media habits need a major overhaul. Scrolling distracts me from housework. It also distracts me from reading books, which are much better for my mind than posts and memes. I don't want to get rid of my Facebook or Instagram. They're great for connecting with people, and one of my Instagrams … Continue reading Doom Scrolling/Food
2024 to 2025
My overarching goal for 2024 was to embrace radical softness and express my femininity. I think I mostly did that. I want to wear makeup when I'm depressed more, but I don't want to wear it all the time because my husband likes my face bare. He doesn't hate makeup, but he doesn't "get" it … Continue reading 2024 to 2025
