Teaser: Tea Party Blog Hop and Jesus Calling Blog

Wednesday, August 5, 2020




Happy Wednesday, My Lovelies!  I'm getting ready to host a tea party Saturday, and all of y'all are invited!  It's a themed tea party, and the blog hop is hosted by Sarah at Classical Homemaking.




I'm going to give you a hint about the theme for my party:

“It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it?”







I also have an announcement:  I've started a little blog that is a companion to the Jesus Calling daily devotional.  

Friends, when I chose FAITH as my word of the year, I never knew how tested my faith would be.




I began reading and studying the scriptural references from Jesus Calling earlier this year.  I've seen it around for years, but I've never read it before.  It has been a lifeline for me, and it also dovetails the Faith Project I'm participating in, too.

I have been thinking about this blog for a while, and I'm committed to writing the blog for at least a year.  Jesus Calling was written by Sarah Young.  She has written each daily devotional from Jesus' perspective, as if he is talking to you.  Each day also lists scriptural references, but not the scriptures themselves.  I am posting the scriptures on my blog, and a thought or two about them or the devo (I am not breaking any copyright rules at all...I just thought it would be helpful to have the scriptural references posted.)  I'm posting the correct translation used because not all verses are from the NIV.

I will also post either an original photo, artwork, or mood board inspired by the scripture.  I'm a kinesthetic learner, so this will help me study the scripture.



This is my version, but there are many.  There is even a teens' version and a kids' version.  I can vouch that the kids' version is wonderful!

If any of y'all want to join me (I'm sure several of you have this already), I would love to read your thoughts in comments about each day's message.

I will post a little bit more about the blog tomorrow and it will be live tomorrow as well.  There is a link at the top of the page in the menu.

Until next time...

Blessings!
Ricki Jill
