I AM A TINY PEPPER

Hi my name is Natalie and I am officially a tiny baby pepper.

Today is day one of NaNoPoblano!

What is NaNoPoblano? You might ask. Well I’ll explain it this way. It’s a month of blogging! A blog post every day for the month of November. And NaNoPoblano is a community of bloggers who commit to the challenge. I am super excited to join this community.

Today’s post is super basic. I wanted to let you know that I’m in for the challenge. I have a list of ideas I’ll be blogging about. I thought it would be awesome to take this opportunity to get to know each other so I’ll be sharing more about me and my favorite things. For my loyal Women of the Bible readers, don’t worry I’ll still post my WOTB posts on Fridays. However make sure you tune in because I will be working on some pieces expanding on patterns I’ve seen among the women we’ve talked about.

Make sure to follow me on Instagram and Twitter to keep up with what I’m blogging about daily.

Love you guys for your support and encouragement during this month. I’m sure I’ll be in great need of it.

Keep Shining, Nat

HELLO WOMEN OF THE BIBLE (WOTB)

For over a year now I’ve had this growing desire to study the women of the bible. I’ve read the SheReadsTruth.com Women in the Bible devotional series. I’ve attended bible studies at my church (Church by the Glades), which focused on women in the bible. I’ve talked about how interested I am in the women of the bible so much that friends have gifted me books and I have purchased and wish-listed additional books.

Their stories fascinate me.

Their courage inspires me.

Their faith motivates me.

Their realness still resonates loudly in our culture today.

These women knew what it was to cry out to God for the deepest desires of their heart. They knew, like many women today, what it feels like to WAIT, to lean on God and not their own understanding.

Some of my favorite women are Sarah, Ruth, Esther, and the woman with the bleeding disorder. Each of these stories has spoken to my heart in one-way or another.

I am so excited to officially begin this journey of an in-depth study of every woman in the bible in chronological order. The assignment feels bigger than anything I’ve ever done before. I know that by focusing on one to two women a month this project will take a few years to complete. I look forward to the extra time in God’s word.

I realize that I am far from a bible scholar or expert. I’m simply an average girl trying to seek my King. My plan is to read the scripture with new eyes. I will be using different resources to help me understand the richness of each story.

I am so excited for what God has planned for me to learn. What secrets will be uncovered?!?

The best part of this new venture is that I will get to share all of my “findings” with YOU!!!! I look forward to connecting with you and reading how God has moved in your life through SUPERSTARNAT.COM.

Get ready and join me every Friday for a new installment of the WOTB Series. I pray that as God uses these women to heal, mold, and strengthen my heart yours may also be blessed in supernatural ways.

January is all about Eve. So come back next week for Hello Eve Part I…

HELLO 2015

Picture

Today Lara Casey posted the pic on the left and it spoke to me. It reinforced the decision I had already made of starting this blog. These 15 words reminded me that it was time to look beyond the doubts. To stand up and confront my fears. To look my insecurities straight in the face and chase my dreams. I can no longer wait to “start living” my life when (fill in the blank) happens. Today is a gift and I have a mind to seize my present. Make the most of the daylight and shed all types of JESUS light on the dark places within. On this blog I will share what I’m learning on this path to healing and growth. I will also post my thoughts and notes from studying the women of the bible. My goal is to spotlight a different biblical female character each month. Gather insight directly from the word, other books and commentaries. I pray God may use this site to speak to your heart as He works on healing and strengthening mine.
