Love's Choice. The Lord gives us abundant opportunities to love Him and obey Him, but do we always trust him enough to to lean into that love that overflows into obedience? Today, we will be looking back at scripture to see how biblical characters in the Old Testament trusted the Lord and what their love for the Lord looked like. If He is who He says He is, we will obey. I am excited to dive into who God is so that we know we can trust Him and love Him deeply.

In a world where love has multiple different meanings, my goal is to look into scripture and see what God says about love. Love is all around us and in order to love God and others to the glory of Him, we have to understand how God tells us to love. Come along with me today as we take a deeper look into this hefty concept.

Today, I will be diving into the importance of Lent and how that important time period can shape our walk with the Lord and grow us in deeper love for those around us. Matthew 4, Mark 1, and Luke 4 give us a look at how Jesus was tempted by Satan and continued to fast for 40 days and 40 night. In Matthew 6, we get to see what God calls us to when considering fasting, prayer, and giving. We will also look at the Lord's prayer to help us have a deeper understanding of these concepts.

If you enjoy listening to Real Refreshment, we've got another great show that you'll want to add to your playlist. Let us introduce you to Team Us!
For husband and wife Ted and Ashleigh Slater, the 1987 film The Princess Bride is frequently playing in their home. For them, one of the most memorable characters is Inigo Montoya. His patience and persistence as he hunts for the six-fingered man remind them that it takes time to execute a “death wish.” But what does a “death wish” have to do with marriage?
While they joined a new team when they promised, “I do,” that doesn’t mean the unity and cooperation is going to be easy or automatic. It takes time after marriage to make that transition from “me” to “us.”
One reason is that all of us come to marriage with ingrained habits. These are the things that steal joy from our relationship, keep us from walking in unity and practicing cooperation, and can even weaken our resolve to stay committed.

February's Meditate and Memorize, Psalm 119. Following with the theme Abide, we are going to be diving into Psalm 119 and looking at how we can love all things of this world in the right order. Rachael will be teaching us how we can recalibrate our hearts to His will and not our own, while reminding us how important it is meditiate on His word in order to know Him deeper and love Him more. She will also take us through the Torah to show us how Psalm 119 is influenced by each of these books. Our challenge to you is to dive deeper into this Psalm than we will cover in this podcast and to use the resources listed to learn more about what we can gain through Christ.

CHILL OUT: Part 4. Today we will be diving into the O and the U in CHILL OUT. When we are caught up in getting everything perfect, sometimes we forget the bigger picture of what the objectives are that we are supposed to be sprinting after and we forget to laugh.

CHILL OUT Part 3. Today we will be discussing the two L's of CHILL OUT. LISTEN to God (Proverbs 3:5-6) and LISTEN to others around you (Phil 2:3). Often times, trust in society looks a lot different to what God calls us to in His word. How do we as moms and as Christians lean into what God is saying even if it doesn't make sense to us. Not only listening to God vital but also we must listen to our kids and our Husband. What does it look like to live out and practice loving others more than you love yourself? Tune in today as we finish up CHILL and next week we will look into the OUT portion of CHILL OUT.
