Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!

1 Thessalonians 5:14-18
14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

This episode Jess talks about how slowing down can actually help us with the greatest commandments of loving God and other better.

Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Book I'm currently reading and highly recommend!

Jess talks about recouping from the school's musical beard glue incident and discusses how we should respond to neighbors who have political signs we disagree with in their yards. Overall, though she talks about how we should see others who have either never known Jesus or have fallen away due to sin.

Luke 15:31-32
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

Mark 2:15-17
15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing their mind from
The paint on a sign
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time

Oh everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Oh everyone believes
And they're not going easily
-Jon Mayer

“The question is not whether we should bring God into our work or not. We certainly should and must. The question is whether we should simply (a.) Bring Him in in the dedication of our work to Him, in the integrity, diligence, and humility with which we do it or also (b.) Make His professed and explicit service our job.”      - C.S. Lewis


But what’s often overlooked is the need to create in community with other believers. For those of us who choose to follow the call to create, we must surround ourselves with fellow Christian creators who can help “renew our minds” (Romans 12:2) with eternal perspective as we create.
- Jordan Raynor : C.S. Lewis and the Call to Create

Romans 12:6(a)
 "Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them accordingly."
 
Exodus 36:1-2
“Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”

 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work."

Ever wondered how aligning personal ambitions with God's will can transform your projects into meaningful endeavors? Join me as I recount a summer filled with unexpected turns, from a delightful anniversary trip with my husband to a mix of productive and procrastinated sewing projects. Despite my best efforts to stay on track, the whirlwind of daily life had other plans, yet it also offered valuable lessons and moments of reflection. Now that the school year is here, I'm ready to embrace the structure and focus on what lies ahead for the "Cosplay for Christ" podcast.

We'll explore the exciting plans for the new school year and how this podcast aims to serve its ministry goals. I candidly share my struggles with staying focused, highlighted by my husband's humorous suspicion that I might have ADHD. More importantly, we reflect on the importance of partnering with God in our daily pursuits, ensuring our work remains impactful and purpose-driven. With gratitude for the platform provided by God, this episode is a blend of personal stories, reflections on faith, and a look at what's next for "Cosplay for Christ.

Proverbs 19:21
Many plans are in a man’s heart,
But the counsel of the Lord will stand.

Proverbs 16:3
Commit your works to the Lord
And your plans will be established.

Happy Maycember!!!  Catching up on my latest costume builds, danger at the Narnia Faire, and that deep desire we all have to belong and to be known and loved by someone.

Psalm 139:2-5
"2 You perceive every movement of my heart and soul, and you understand my every thought before it even enters my mind.

3-4 You are so intimately aware of me, Lord. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence! You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.

5 You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You have laid your hand on me!"

This is the second part of the discussion Katie Lewis from Bountiful Living and I have about what we can learn about suffering from the book of Job and the Bible.

James1:2-4
2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
 
John 16:33b
"In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Job 13:15
Though he slay me, I will hope in him;
yet I will argue my ways to his face
