October 2023 | Calendars

That chill in the air that signals autumn's arrival is one of my favorite things about this time of year. We're headed to the mountains this weekend and are hoping to see some fall foliage, hear elks bugling, and connect with God by escaping the distractions of life. It is so needed.

How do you relax? How do you remember there is more to life than the demands for your time? We're praying this month you reconnect with activities that bring you peace and reprioritize what truly matters.

Here's what we're offering on the October 2023 Wolfe Stew menu:


October 2023 Ideas for EVERY Day

 
Add "Would you rather..." questions into your daily holiday festivities this October to welcome even more JOY.

October 2023 Growth for Today Calendar

Join us as we study the concluding poem of Proverbs 31. Men, before you run away, we know this applies to you, too. We analyze each verse from several perspectives, as wives, husbands, Christ's brides, and Godly wisdom. But first, we build background by defining words, reading commentaries, and working out our own interpretations. Twenty-two verses in 365 days. We are taking it slow by digging deep. Throughout this study, our prayer is that we better understand how to wisely interact with each other and God. If this sounds like a growth opportunity for you, we would love to have you join us. Just download the calendar (or bookmark this page) and jump in at any time. In October, we are learning what it means to be STRONG.

We will post our Wolfe Notes weekly as a glimpse into our growth journey or as an opportunity to "catch up" on any days missed.

October's Focus

  • Trait: Strong
  • Verses: Proverbs 31:17 and 25

Weekly Overview

We provide structure and resources we found interesting but encourage you to go where the Holy Spirit leads. Ask questions, wrestle. Struggling through scripture with God shows your desire to learn. He promises to give us wisdom if we ask; so, ask (James 1:5). Seek and find. Keep your mind open to the Holy Spirit's leading and prepare to be remade. We're being remade right along with you!

You can face tomorrow with a smile. You can remain calm even when you are surrounded by chaos. You can respond in love even to those who ridicule and reject you. You can because He is. Though this time of year comes fraught with fear, anxiety, and pressure, you, fellow child of God, can make it through. Lean on His strength; He is more than enough.

Growing with You,

World Turtle Day | JOY for Today

Image
After watching my turtle recover from his tumble down the stairs yesterday (he's alright), I realized this is what turtles do: they take risks. They don't know what's at the bottom of that fall, but they trust their shell to protect them. I wonder, what shell protects you? Does your shell of protection provide joy and confidence or fear and isolation?  Meet Our Turtle: Waldo World Turtle Day Stops: Did You Know...   Two we knew; three we didn't. Wolfe Stew Connects  Musings by the Mrs. Bible Verses and Quotes  Inspired by turtles. Activity Suggestions   Care, costumes, reading, crafting, games, habitats, and maps.
