A new covenant

I’m reading through the Bible in a year. Today as I was reading in 2 Samuel 7-9, I read about the covenant God had with David. In my She Reads Truth Bible, the devotional was on the new covenant.

They shared Luke 22:20 (CSB) In the same way he also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”

What a timely message the day before Easter! Don’t you love how you can find an Easter message in the Old Testament. We tell our three year old all that time that the Bible has a lot of little stories that tell one big story. The story of God sending Jesus to die for our sins and raising him up on the third day.

David went on to praise God in 2 Samuel 7. God had given him a good promise but there was a better covenant to come. The new covenant!

Jesus poured out his life for you and for me. May we celebrate that this Easter Sunday

Parenting Book reviews

I have been reading a ton of parenting books lately mainly due to the fact that my baby went from 0 to 3 like that. Having a three year old brings lots of fun but also lots of times to be intentional with training.

Here are a few of my favorites. This is not sponsored just my honest reviews and hopefully they help you discern what books to read. I get overwhelmed by the number of books I could be reading so I love reviews.

Here are the books I’ve read the last few months that I would recommend if you are looking for some good parenting books.

Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles that radically change your family

By Paul David Trip

I love how clearly Paul David Tripp explains the Gospel. He really communicates that our children’s problem is not their behavior but the heart issue. This has been such a great read for us.

Treasuring Christ when your hands are full

By Gloria Furman

She communicates the Gospel in such a clear way and really gave me a lot to think about. When I read Gloria’s books, it makes me long to have a friend like her that could always point me back to Christ in every situation like she does in her books

The Mission of Motherhood: Touching Your Child’s Heart of Eternity 

The Ministry of Motherhood

By Sally Clarkson

I just adore Sally. Her books, her podcasts, and her blogs. She has such great wisdom. Her children are grown and I love that she can share as she has gone before us. Both of these books helped me to think about what is really my mission and ministry in motherhood. After reading her books, I always wish I could go have a cup of tea with her

Parenting the Wholehearted Child: Captivating Your Child’s Heart with God’s Extravagant Grace 

By Jeannie Cunnion

I heard Jeannie on a couple podcasts and I really loved how she explained grace parenting in a way that was not permissive. I was excited to find find one on a kindle deal and highlighted quite a bit of the book. I thought she had a lot of great practical ideas in the book. She gives many examples of sample conversations
