Scripture Sunday: Stay Calm

"The Lord Himself will fight for you.  Just stay calm." - Exodus 14:14 This verse has just popped into my head a couple of times this week, and when I feel like freaking out, this is a good verse to remember.  I have it in my household management binder and in my bedroom, and I find it a helpful reminder that we're not in this thing called life on our own.  Whether you have been living in sin and feel like God can't possibly be with you, whether you just feel like you're alone in life, or if you're just…

Scripture Sunday: You Are God’s Masterpiece

"For we are God's masterpiece.  He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago." - Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) We are a masterpiece.  We are a Michaelangelo, a Vincent van Gogh, a Leonardo daVinci, a work of art like the Mona Lisa.  The difference?  We are from the master artist.  The artist who created the master artists.  He created us brand new through His son, Jesus Christ.  And He has plans for us.  Plans he set out for us from the beginning of time.  We have a purpose.  And…

Work-in-Progress Wednesday: Printable Scripture Cards

Last week I started working on a project that I think you will really enjoy.  I was looking for a way that I could carry around some of my favorite Bible verses with me so that I can refer to them when I really need them (and eventually memorize them).  I did find some I liked, but I also wanted something a little more extensive.  I did find one idea on Pinterest that I really liked: after you print out the cards, punch holes in them, place them on a key ring (or book ring), and attach them to your purse.…

Avoid the Summer Slide: Review Packets Worth Investing In – Part 2

If you've been a loyal follower for a while, you have probably had the opportunity to check out my post from last summer entitled Avoid the Summer Slide: Review Packets Worth Investing In.  Just to review, I emphasized the importance of avoiding the "summer slide"--the loss in knowledge that occurs over summer break due to lack of continued review and stimulation.  Because of that, we spend so much more time in school reviewing concepts when we could be moving forward.  Here at Making the Most, we try to keep the summer slide at bay by investing in some inexpensive review packets…
