As I continue to read through the book of Leviticus, it’s made me wonder why exactly the Lord covered all the bases. Today I had the privilege of reading chapters 14 and 15, which are about bodily discharge, semen, and a woman’s time of menstruating. Fun times. I sort of laugh as I remind myself that I serve the God of all creation. None of this is gross to Him and He knows the best way to handle these situations in order for cleanliness to be present. It left me with the question: what does this have to do with anything???

Have you ever wondered, “Do I have to read the Old Testament? What does it have to do with me? It seems antiquated and irrelevant.” Some pastors today say that there is no need to read the Old Testament. Yikes! The short answer is, maybe you don’t have to, but you need to. This is not an exhaustive list of reasons why you need to read the Old Testament, but I hope it will encourage you to press in when it gets difficult!

If you want to create a blog and search up where to start, all of the experts are going to tell you to find your niche. They will give you questions and steps to discover what it is you have to offer people, who you target audience is, and on and on. But what happens if you find you don’t have an area you are an expert in? What if you don’t have a “target audience”? The experts say that you can’t be too broad; you need to be focused on who you want to reach. So what do you do when you don’t have a niche?

A few Christmases ago, I saved up some money and got a Vitamix blender. I was pumped! My Ninja was on it’s last leg and from everything I had heard, Vitamix was the way to go when you use a blender on an almost daily basis. Not only was it Christmas Day when I opened it, but my excitement rivaled that of my children! It was something brand new, not dents or scratches, shiny and worked the way it was supposed to. When you eat just about every meal at home, this will make a mama happy! Me in emojis: ????
