Intentional Inspirations Newsletter - 10/6/23
This week I have been reading and studying 1 Timothy 6. So many things are included in this chapter, but the verses above stuck out to me — the matter of being content. Oh how quick we are to wish that our circumstances were different, that we didn’t have to go through that trial, that we could just have a little “more” and then we would be happy, and on it goes.
As we head into the fall months, let’s focus on being more content! One way to do that is to begin a gratitude journal. It is hard to complain when we are expressing thankfulness. Most importantly, I encourage you to spend more time in the Bible, reading God’s word to us. As you learn and grow closer to Jesus, you will more often have the heart of God and be more content.
In today’s newsletter, I have included a TON of neat things for you to explore. I pray you are encouraged, lifted up, and also challenged. Enjoy!

I am so excited to tell you about the new Word Family Readers app! Back when my son was struggling with his reading skills, it was Word Family Readers that made the difference! The app is what he loved the most because it included different activities to help him learn to read. In the past the app was only available for Apple devices — but now it is also available for Android!
You can try the app out for free. You get access to 5 books so you can see if it is something you are interested in. If you love it as much as we did, you can then upgrade for a minimal monthly fee to access all 68 books! Click here to check out the Word Family Readers App today!

Every month at Love Bug Organics we offer a discounted pre-order box that ships out the final week of every month. We do this to help families who may not always be able to afford natural remedies to be able to better afford them at least once monthly. Monthly pre-orders are collected during the first week of the month and then they are shipped the final week of the month, after we have spent time making, curing, labeling and packaging them. We do this out of the goodness of our hearts and hope that it benefits the natural minded community.
The October Box will arrive the first week of November and it will include:
2 Ginger Bread Men Cold Process Soaps (2.5 oz each).

This week I saw an ad on social media for this brand new magazine being put out by Moody Publishers. I tried to find the ad so I could share it, but I can’t find it anywhere. So instead I am sharing the link in the email I received when I signed up, so you can download this free magazine. If you enjoy it, go to their website and sign up for their newsletter list so you will be notified when new magazine issues are published!
I started reading an amazing old book this week called The Christian in Complete Armour. I am only just beginning the first section, but it is so applicable to today, even though it was written hundreds of years ago. This quote stuck out to me because we are seeing in our day mainstream denominations moving away from the authority of the Bible. It seems the greatest threat to Christians today is not the "world" but those within the church who are leading others astray. I want to be like Joshua! I hope you do too!
"There have always been those in the church who, by serious mistakes in judgment and conduct, have laid a stumbling block in the path of professing Christians. You will need a holy resolution to bear up against such discouragements. Strive to be like Joshua. When most of the Israelites revolted and in their hearts turned back to Egypt, Joshua maintained his integrity. He declared that, though not another man would join him, yet he would serve the Lord."
