Well in this new year with of course the resolutions that everyone always makes I vow to Grow closer to God. I took on the challenge that a dear mama friend from church provided to have us read the bible in a year. I have never done that and this year I will be attempting to. I want to grow so much closer to God and really know what he is like and the wonderful stories of the bible that are true in our lives today. I want to know more so that I may share with Grace and be able to answer all of her questions regarding the bible someday. I want to fill my mind with the Word of God.
In taking on the challenge to read a little of the bible each day we also are asked to work on bible memorization. When also thinking about this I knew it was very important that I also join with this part of the challenge as we desire Grace to learn bible verses so should I!
This weeks verse I am going to take into week two as I have not been that focused on learning it this week and truly want to get it into my mind.
Here it is.
1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
If you would like to join me in this challange check back each week and I will post a new verse. I will be working with Grace on her verses as well and may post video from time to time.
So that is a big challenge in its self to read the bible in a year and memorize scripture but that is not enough. I want MORE!!!.
So I have joined this online Bible study called MADE TO CRAVE. This is a book by Lysa TerKeurst
I will be doing an online study through a website called melissataylor.org
Its not to late to sign up to get the daily emails and join in on the study if you are interested.
This book is amazing. I have yet to finish it as I just keep going back over the first few chapters.
I am excited to take this journey with many women across the globe who struggle the same struggles with me and have forgotten that we need to bring our focus to GOD! He is what we have been MADE TO CRAVE!
If you are interested in learning more about this book and the ministry of Lysa please check her out at

Well that is it for my first Blog entry. I will attempt to update it as often as I can. I hope you will hold me accountable to these things that I have listed and check in with me from time to time.
Feel free to look me up on FB or email me at mopsmom2011@gmail.com
As for now I remind myself that I was Made to Crave God's Word not the chips and salsa that are calling my name from the kitchen.
Love you all!
God Bless.
