Psalms of Ascent

Our bible study is doing one of Beth Moore’s bible studies…Stepping Up…A Journey Through The Psalms of Ascent.

The description from LifeWay is this:

Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent – Member Book by Beth Moore provides a personal study experience five days a week plus viewer guides for PsalmsOfAscentthe group video sessions of this in-depth women’s Bible study of Psalms 120-134. Traveling pilgrims sang these psalms both on the way to the great festivals of the LORD and as key elements of the worship at those festivals. Just as a song or poem can express feelings of fear, doubt, hope, and joy, these 15 psalms model how we can voice our own petitions and praises to our God, who is always available and ready to hear us.

Explore the major feasts of Israel and journey with Beth through this 7-session study. Themes of unity, joy, gratitude, redemption, repentance, the power of blessings, facing ridicule, and more are explored in detail. Modern-day believers in Jesus Christ can learn much from these treasured Psalms in their journey toward greater intimacy with God.

Something that Beth said in our first session that struck me is “Mean what you sing…Sing what you mean”  How many times have you stepped into worship and just weren’t “feeling” it?  Did you just sing the songs from worship without any real thought behind what you were singing?  Wow, I had never realized that sometimes I do this.  Now I make a conscious effort into making sure the words I’m singing are words I mean…if they aren’t, I take time to pray that God would get me to that point of meaning those words.

“Songs move us and God fully intended it to” ~ Beth MooreWorshiperByDesign

I am amazed at how God takes different bible studies and ties them all together.  I started reading a book a few weeks prior to our first bible study meeting called “Worshiper By Design: A Unique Look At Why We Were Created” By John W. Stevenson…some of the things that I’m learning in that book were confirmed in the bible study with Beth Moore!

God is Awesome!!!  I just love when He speaks to me and shows me new things that I need to know, things I need to learn, or just things I’ve never really thought about before!   I am forever being changed by God…and I love it!

Scrubbing Bubbles Review

full_one_step_toilet_bowl_cleaner

So, I received this in the mail a few weeks ago.  It’s Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner.  I wasn’t sure how well this would work…I mean how can just spraying a toilet keep it clean without scrubbing?

First thing we had to decide is which of our 4 toilets that we would try this on…we decided that we would put it in the master bathroom…I mean, putting it in the boys’ bathroom may help with the cleaning, but the product would have been gone in a few days and I don’t use their toilet, so I won’t know how it works.

After opening the package, there was a bottle, a foot pedal and attached to it was a hose with a clip.  After looking at the picture directions (yes, they had words too, but who reads directions when they have pictures?), I was able to put the product onto the toilet…not problems.  It adjusts to fit the rim of the toilet.  After placing the product into the foot pedal, I decided to step on it to see how it worked.  The chemicals were sprayed into the toilet.  Seems easy enough.  The directions say to step on the pedal for a second or two and the spray will cover the whole bowl (360 degrees).

This has been on my toilet now for 2 weeks…so far, it’s working great!  My toilet is clean and I haven’t had to scrub it!!  I’m sure to step on the pedal a couple times a day.

So the question…would I recommend this product?  Absolutely!   I’m planning on getting one for each toilet in my house!!

The above is my opinion and I was not paid in any way for giving this opinion.  I’m a BuzzAgent and have signed up for this campaign.  Once I sign up for a campaign, they send me the product to try and give my honest opinion, then report back to them of any times I’ve recommended this product to others and their reactions.
