The Christian Home

As Christians, our relationship with Christ and His work in our hearts should overflow into every aspect of our lives. As women, one of these aspects is the home. A Christian home should have a different atmosphere from non-Christian homes. Our homes should proclaim Christ to both those who live there and those who visit. But how do we encourage a Christ-centered atmosphere in our homes? Well, there is an opportunity next month that will help us in this area!

On Saturday, May 8, 2010, 8:30am - 4:30pm, Biblical Womanhood Seminars will host their spring seminar at Cedar Springs Christian Conference Center in Sumas Washington. The title of the seminar is Christ in Me … The Heart of the Home. Nine women will be sharing how we, as Christian women, can create a Christ-centered atmosphere in our homes using the fruits of the Spirit. The seminar costs $15 per person, and includes breakfast and lunch.

I have attended three seminars hosted by Biblical Womanhood Seminars and have been greatly encouraged by the teaching and the fellowship. It is a group of godly women striving to live Christ-centered, God-glorifying lives, and encourage other women to do the same.

The Heart of the Home

The fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Galatians 5:22-23

The fruit of the Spirit is something that is to be present and evident in every Christian’s life. However, did you ever think that these are characteristics that can and should be found in the Christian home? An up-coming Biblical Womanhood Seminar will teach on this very topic.

A Milestone Reached

Well, I have now been blogging for a year. I can hardly believe it! It’s been a good year. God has grown me in many ways, and because of the lessons He has taught me, Strength for Today has grown. I honestly believe this blog is what it is today because of what God has been doing in my life. As I pass the 1-year marker of blogging, I would like to take the time to say some “thank you”s.

First and foremost, all thanks and glory belongs to God. He is the One who placed it on my heart to encourage young women through a blog. He is the One who gave me the courage to take the plunge. He is the One who has shaped Strength for Today. All of my posts are a result of the many things He has been teaching me. Ultimately, He is the One writing this blog!

Next, I would like to say a huge thank you to my family, especially my parents. Both my parents have been an encouragement from the time I first mentioned my idea. They have watched me create Strength for Today with enthusiasm and support.

Last, but definitely not least, thank you to all my faithful readers! It’s a lot more fun to write a blog when you know there are people reading it! :) Those of you who leave comments, thank you! They are very much appreciated! To those of you who have never left a comment, please do! I would love to here from you and get to know my readers a little.

In honor of reaching the 1-year milestone, I thought I’d make a slight change to my Saturday Psalms. I will be working through the Psalms posting verses that tell us about who God is. I’ve already begun collecting the Psalms and thinking through them, and I have to say I’m very excited to share them with you!

Thank you for stopping by and reading! May God bless you as you strive to become more like Him! ~ Bright Hope
