Chelsey did a great job listing some specific ways that you can pray for you children. What other ideas do you have? http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/75116/prayers-for-our-children.htmlMon, 17 Jan 2011 15:08:38 GMT Do you have questions that you would like us to answer on the blog? These can be questions about biblical womanhood, marriage, parenthood, living a pure life, etc... Each month we answer a question from a reader (we never include names!). Do you have a question? Leave it below, or e-mail it to me at ashley@titus2atthewell.com. We never mention names! http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/67794/titus-2-questions.htmlWed, 01 Dec 2010 17:33:08 GMT Good morning, ladies! Care to share some of the marriage advice that's gotten you through 'sitting across from a stranger'? Or Do you have a problem you need advice about? Don't be shy! http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/54746/married-to-a-stranger-or-not.htmlThu, 23 Sep 2010 13:35:28 GMT Today, I want to issue a challenge! On Saturday, we read a fantastic post by Mrs. Carol Alexander called Hang in there, Mama where she told the story of her being a cheerleader for a tired mom in the grocery store checkout line and encouraged all of us with young children to 'stay the course'. Coincidentally, on Saturday I was one of those moms with unruly children in the grocery store. The cheerleading I received from fellow moms was invaluable for keeping the situation from putting me in a bad mood, instead I came away encouraged and excited to be a mommy. Let's take this week and be cheerleaders for one another. You don't have to post here if you don't want, (although you can post and let us know you're following the challenge if you want!) but whenever you're out and about- look for those who need encouragement and be there with godly words of hope. Read others blogs and encourage them. Call someone you haven't in a while and tell them to hang in there. "Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2 http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/47469/hang-in-there,-mama.htmlTue, 17 Aug 2010 15:22:55 GMT We're reading about the Importance of starting a family ministry today At the Well. Lisa talks about a family ministry, she's not talking about something specific that only happens once in a while, like buying toys for Toys for Tots- she's talking about every day, or every week actions and activities that we purposefully engage in to serve other people and spread the Gospel. (Not that buying toys for Toys for Tots is bad! It's a good way to teach your children about the importance of giving for Christmas instead of just getting but we're talking year round here like visiting a nursing home every Saturday or cooking meals for grieving or sick families) So, what are your recommendations for involving your children in ministries? Do you have any specific ministries that you got involved in specifically so you children could participate? http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/46182/family-ministries.htmlWed, 11 Aug 2010 13:16:55 GMT We are finishing up our study 'We Are the Body' and our final study this morning discussed some examples of what a servant is. Before I understood this whole 'servant thing' I had bad images in my head about what a servant was. My mind told me being a servant meant being under people, getting run over and being mistreated. As I've gotten older, I've discovered the joy that there is in being a servant for someone else. The imagery we are force fed from Hollywood tells us this is wrong- that we should want to be like Cinderella: working and serving cheerfully so that the evil step-mothers get their comeuppances. I'm afraid that even a lot of Christian women view servitude this way, placing their hope that even though they suffer in serving, that one day God will punish those who make their lives miserable. But I have to tell you that is such a limited, selfish view of God and His ways that only hurts the one doing the wishing. The bible tells us to serve willingly, happily, joyfully! Our greatest thrill in this life should be cheerfully doing our Lord's work, even if that work entails picking up your husband's stinky socks because he's tired from working all day, or washing yet another load of dishes without help because your family is enjoying fellowship with one another. Those are a couple of examples of some things that used to bother me to no end: I did them, but I complained and made sure everyone knew I was miserable doing them. What I learned was that if I willingly and cheerfully served my family, I actually enjoyed looking for ways to treat them. The more happily I go about my daily tasks, the more willingly my family jumps to serve me as well. Serving others has made me happy... and made my life easier. Who would have thought?! Let's encourage one another today to live servant's lives! What are some of the ways you've learned to serve cheerfully, even in the most mundane daily tasks? What areas do you need help in learning to change your attitude in relation to? http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/45664/a-servant-is.htmlMon, 09 Aug 2010 18:22:22 GMT I love the idea of using a spiral notebook to keep track of your time! My friend takes the idea one step further (and taught me to) and divides her notebooks up by topic. So she has one notebook for home, work (she owns her own business that she runs at home as well), and one for 'special occasions' (like birthdays, graduations, holidays, etc.). She literally pick up a notebook (and project), work on it, and put it away for later while she picks up the next one without being distracted by her other obligations. Another of my favorite time management tricks is to use a kitchen timer: I set the timer for however long I have to work on something and when the timer goes off, I can go on to the next thing. It can help keep you focused and even if you can't finish something in the time available, you know that you've at least done something! Share with us some of your favorite tips and tricks to keep track of time! Or do you have something going on you just don't know how to fit into your schedule? Ask away! Someone just might have the answer you're looking for! http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/44331/tips-for-time-management.htmlTue, 03 Aug 2010 15:56:57 GMT Although this weeks study is focused on homeschooling, it's not the only area that we need people who will support, uplift, encourage, and motivation! So often in life we feel isolated and cut-off from one another that we just have to have someone who will stand beside us and help us when we need it- that's what being a Titus 2 woman is all about! Let's take today and really search ourselves and find where we need encouragement! Don't be afraid or embarrassed: Let's share our burdens with one another, so we can lift each other up! So what do you need encouragement about today? Is it back-to-school, an unruly child, a difficult situation in your marriage? Can you not keep up with the housework or yard-work? Are you struggling financially or spiritually? Is a relationship worrying you or are you faced with a situation you don't know how to deal with? Don't forget to take the time to encourage others who share today! You may find just who you need for the words you need, but you may have them for someone else as well! http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/44033/we-are-the-body-week-seven.htmlMon, 02 Aug 2010 12:09:32 GMT I don't know about you guys, but Grace's post today really strikes a cord with me. In my role as wife and mother, it's so easy to get distracted with the where and why-fore's and lose sight of the Eternal scope of my day to day activities. And, sadly, I must admit that I get lost in my search for a clean house, happy and well behaved children, weed free garden... the list piles up and up. But we are commanded to worship in everything we do, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem. So, this is my question today: How do you remind yourself to do this holy duty? How can someone swamped by responsibilities keep their focus on the Almighty rather than a list of deadlines and spilled orange juice on the floor? What's helped you? http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/43621/-i-will-fall-at-your-feet.htmlSat, 31 Jul 2010 13:19:11 GMT I was approached by someone (sorry i forgot) ..a while ago about seeing if i wanted to start a group on Cafe Mom to spread the word of At the Well..i think it would be a grand idea but ... i wanted to know what kind of things you wanted in the group.... anyone know anything about this? http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/41962/at-the-well-on-cafemom.htmlSat, 24 Jul 2010 14:50:48 GMT Everyone of us has had at least one moment. You know the one: when you realize that for some reason, through all the trouble and pain you put God through, the He still loves you. Psalm 18:19 (NLT) says: He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me. This is a psalm of David, that he sang in praise to the Lord when he was rescued from his enemies and from Saul that you can read about in 2 Samuel 21 and 22. God provided David with everything he needed to reach safety, even when it seemed everyone was conspiring against him. We are blessed because the God we worship is Jehovah-jireh, God Who Provides, and he loves us with an unfailing love even, no especially when we have nothing left on this earth that's going our way. So tell us, when has God provided for you when your world was falling apart? When has God picked YOU up and delivered you to safety? http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/41676/you-are-his-delight.htmlFri, 23 Jul 2010 12:47:19 GMT I'm so excited! I'm getting ready to start a new book club/bible study over on my blog! To get more details, check out today's post! I really hope you'll join me! http://www.firefliesandhummingbirds.net/2010/07/are-you-mary-or-martha.html http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/39594/are-you-a-mary-or-martha.htmlTue, 13 Jul 2010 13:39:52 GMT Hello ladies! On today's post we had a reader ask a question wanting advice for how to handle a situation. Please read the situation and let us know how you would handle it: We have a pre-school Children’s church teacher, young woman, who wears very provacative, inappropriate clothing….bends to help children and just about falls out of her dress, etc. I’ve often thought of how to approach her gracefully, as a woman, but just don’t know how. I don’t want to speak harshly, and so I don’t say anything….any thoughts? Let us know...how would you handle this? http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/33939/reader-needs-advice.htmlMon, 14 Jun 2010 15:21:44 GMTIn Saturday's Q&A session, we talked about fostering a relationship with our boys.http://www.titus2atthewell.com/a-mom-and-her-boysWhat specific things do you do with your boys that nurture your relationship with them?http://theblogfrog.com/763283/forum/14584/how-do-you-interact-with-your-boys.htmlSat, 06 Mar 2010 09:12:55 GMTWhat things have you done in your home to make it feel like a haven?
