Coming Out of My Bubble: Serving Others While Serving Food

Posted by Hallee on Jun 24, 2010 in Christian Faith, Hallee's Galley, Stewardship, fellowship

I have a new venture in my life. One recent morning in Sunday School, our teacher announced that our class would be one of four groups who would be volunteering with a local church’s soup kitchen. That immediately got my attention. I had no idea my little town in central Kentucky had a soup kitchen.

Wholehearted Service

Posted by Hallee on May 6, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Christian Faith, biblical manhood, fellowship, holiness, inspiration

Hundreds of pastors, music leaders, choir members, church goers filled the rooms of our church. They came to meet each other, find old friends, meet new ones, get encouragement, revivement, counsel. And the speakers did not disappoint. They were simply astounding. I cannot even describe it. I was disappointed when I had to leave, sad that the two days were over. I would love to have it go on day after day, even though I understand that it simply cannot. We’re not called to stay amongst ourselves, preaching and practicing holiness — we’re called to be out in the world, living it.

You have no idea how much it would bless me to put God’s word in your hands.

Bible/Book Study – Vote for Your Choice!

Posted by Hallee on Mar 12, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Blog Stuff, Christian Faith, Prayer, fellowship, inspiration

So, I’m bringing it to you. I would like to do a Bible/book study that would most benefit you. Knowing who my audience is, I think an awesome place to start would be one of two books by Stormie O’Martin. Both books have been wonderful tools for me, have provided substantial encouragement, and taught me a few things as well.

Martha and Mary

Posted by Hallee on Mar 12, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Christian Faith, Hallee's Galley, fellowship

A story in the Bible that has always stood out to me has been the story of Mary and Martha. Mary and Martha were sisters and hosted Jesus and his disciples in their home. In Luke 10:38-42, we read that while Martha prepared the meal and served it, her sister Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to him teach. Martha complained to Jesus that her sister was not helping her, and Jesus gently chastised her because Mary was not wrong in wanting to listen to Jesus’ teaching.

Ash Wednesday & Lenten

Posted by Hallee on Feb 17, 2010 in Christian Faith, Prayer, fellowship, holiness

Today is Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent, both of which mark the beginning of the observance of the Easter Season. Ash Wednesday comes from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of the faithful as a sign of repentance. Traditionally, the ashes used are gathered after the Palm Crosses from the previous year’s Palm Sunday are burned and mixed with oil. In the Roman Catholic Church, Ash Wednesday is observed by fasting, abstinence from meat, and repentance. It is a day for contemplating one’s transgressions. Ash Wednesday is also the first day of Lent.

Guest Post: Money Saving Meg on Outlet Shopping

Posted by Hallee on Jan 15, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Budgeting, Family, Stewardship, fellowship

I meet with friends semi-annually at the nearby outlets to share a meal, quickly catch up on our lives, and give our children a chance to play together. We look forward to this so much. It is not just about the outlet deals, but the camaraderie and fun associated with the trip.
