Nicole's blog

Hot on the heels of yesterday's post where I linked to Nicole Starling's blog, I see that she has characterized her readers in this way:

Up till now, I have always done the blog with the assumption that I'm writing for a readership made up mainly of Christian women with young kids.

Oh well. I don't feel too embarrassed to reveal that I've always enjoyed it, and now I can rest secure in the knowledge that she says she'll

be trying a little bit harder to make things accessible and transparent for people who aren't (yet!) Christians or whose life situation is different from mine.

.

So who knows? A bit more on choral music, my favourite rock group, efficient use of space, or long distance running?

Only time will tell, but even if nothing changes, Nicole's blog is well worth subscribing to or following on facebook.

A new blog for ministry wives

Nicole Starling and two of her friends have started a new blog for ministry wives, In Tandem.

May our Lord prosper your work!

As it happens

What's the role of providence in the life of the Christian?

"As it happens, my mum was at EQUIP too."

Nicole talks about it.

Nicole's first post is about the way we look.

I came home and was thinking through what to do with these verses. For example, should I be more ‘poorly dressed’? Should I be less comfortably housed? Should I be bolder in evangelism so that I am ‘reviled’ more?

Later that day, coincidentally, I found myself reading Proverbs 31 and was struck by the contrast between the apostles’ lifestyle and the lifestyle of the woman described there. In Proverbs 31, the woman who fears the LORD has an extensive household, her husband is respected at the city gate, and her whole household are “clothed in scarlet”.

Nicole's question is whether there is a fight between these verses and these verses.

If you have an opinion, feel free to drop by and offer it.
