Su shares how God has used this stage of life to teach her much about Contentment and putting to death jealousy and envy, so that she could be freed up to cheer on her sisters in Christ and my favorite line from her “STAY IN YO LANE.” Here are some amazing book recommendations that help navigate this topic along with the scriptures Su shares:
The Rare Jewel Of Christian Contentment
Romans 15:7–13
7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
1 Thessalonians 4:10–12
[10] for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, [11] and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, [12] so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. (ESV)
1 Corinthians 12:12–31
One Body with Many Members
[12] For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. [13] For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
[14] For the body does not consist of one member but of many. [15] If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. [16] And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. [17] If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? [18] But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. [19] If all were a single member, where would the body be? [20] As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.
[21] The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” [22] On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, [23] and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, [24] which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, [25] that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. [26] If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
[27] Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. [28] And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. [29] Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? [30] Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? [31] But earnestly desire the higher gifts.
You may notice that the famous Lasagna recipe is missing - that is on purpose- next week will be our very first PART THREE!! Su and I have shared so much history that it was hard to pack it into two parts, so join us next week for ALL the funny stories and I will share the famous lasagna recipe in the show notes.
I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the story God is writing in and through the Crump Family and that it inspires and blesses your own homely house with wisdom, creativity, and encouragement.
