New Testament Verses- PEACE

When I started writing this blog I had no idea that the title would prove to be so timely in this season of my life. Peace over perfection. Perfection is officially impossible to maintain. That ship has sailed but I am pursuing peace. My baby girl is 6 months old now and the boys are 2 and 4. Life is a bit of a whirlwind and sometimes it's difficult to keep up. I've had some definite low moments this past month. It's strange that the one theme God keeps bringing me back to is PEACE. It's strange because life with all these little people around me and needing me is really anything but peaceful. I want to remember this year as a year marked with a deep rooted unshakeable peace. A peace that surpasses all understanding. I decided it was time to do a word study on peace. So below I listed out all the verses that stuck a cord with me from the New Testament.


2 Peter 3:14 Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

James 3:18 A harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. 

Hebrews 12:14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord

2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

2 Thessalonians 5:23  Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 

Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility. 

Galatians5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

Romans 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Romans 8:6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my Peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid

Mark 5:34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease

Mark 4:39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm

Tis the Season

One of my favorite things about being a stay at home mom is that I appreciate the seasons more than I ever have. Before kids I worked full time and every day was pretty much the same no matter if it was the middle of July or the dead of winter. Wake up, make coffee, commute to work, do the work, commute home, eat dinner, and sleep. When your day is spent in a climate controlled office the seasons do not impact you much- unless the weather affects your commute. But now as a stay at home mom the change of seasons dramatically changes my day to day. In the summer we go outside and play in the pool as much as possible, in the fall we rake leaves and jump in puddles, and in the winter we snuggle with picture books and decorate Christmas cookies. I love that being a mom makes me stop and acknowledge the seasons. But there are other seasons when you are a parent of little ones that are not as enjoyable- the season of postpartum hormones and sleep deprivation, bed wetting and three yea...

Underfoot: How I organize all the toys that live with us

        Clutter makes me twitch. One of my favorite activities when the boys and baby girl are napping is to walk around the house with a trash bag and load it up with anything that seems superfluous. Every few months I manage to fill at least two full trash bags to donate. How does all this stuff get in my home?!!   Toys are the biggest offenders and they are always underfoot because the play area in our home is also the family room. I fantasize sending my boys upstairs to play happily together in an imaginary bonus room for a couple hours while I work on projects downstairs, clean, exercise, cuddle baby girl, or have a cup of tea…. Um… who am I kidding? I have two beautiful, healthy, rambunctious boys who are two and three years old. They need a mom intervention every two minutes. I referee their wrestling matches, negotiate toy kidnappings, and kiss owies all day long. They also love to be with me, right in the middle of whatever I am doing...
