Six Notes Blog
Welcome to our Six Notes Blog. This is a place we’ll dive deeper into scripture and find guided prayers. We’ve put together spotify playlists, screensavers, and images to inspire and encourage. You can also find bible verses to reflect on, memorize and save. Our goal is to constantly connect right here with ways to deepen your faith and walk with Jesus.
There are many ways to connect with the Lord, get creative! God doesn’t care HOW you do it; He just desires you.
How Do We Respond to the Impossible
How do we respond to the impossible. Do we resond like Abraham with laughter, doubt like Zechariah, or yes Lord like Mary.
Christmas Truth - Awe and Wonder Surrounding the Womb
Christmas Truth - Awe and Wonder Surrounding the Womb
This is part of the Angel Gabriel’s proclamation to Zechariah when he was in the temple. We know by reading later in the story that the Holy Spirit entered Elizabeth upon meeting Mary, Luke 1:41. The child leapt inside Elizabeth and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Just think about that for a second.
In The Waiting - Christmas Playlist
The holidays tend to usher in a lot of angst, anticipation and even anxiety for some. It’s a wonderful time of year, but can come with a deep longing, so we’ve leaned into that theme as we created the next playlist for you all. It’s a beautiful Christmas playlist with songs you don’t often hear. It's a playlist of hope and anticipation as we wait. Wait for Christmas, wait for the time of Jesus’s birth, and wait for the day of the Lord’s return.
Thanksgiving Devotional
Thanksgiving might not be a biblical holiday but its reasons to celebrate are scattered throughout the Bible.
History of thanksgiving
Squanto was a Native American who became the pilgrims “trusted” friend by offering them help and wisdom to survive their first harsh winter in a new land. Please note that this is not a blog on history. The motives behind Squanto actions are not the point here. When the pilgrims celebrated their first successful harvest, they gave gratitude to God. During this feast Squanto was invited and he brought with 90 Native American friends who graciously served up plenty of wild turkey to prepare for the feast.
A Prayer For Thankful Hearts
As we draw upon Thanksgiving, take time to quiet your soul, pray this prayer, and meditate on the verses below.
Heavenly Father,
You are the giver of every good thing. Your blessings are beyond measure.
Your mercies never run out or expire. Perfection is not a prerequisite for your love.
Your grace is freely given, and repayment is never required.
You are a generous and faithful God.
With thanksgiving we surrender our hearts and open our hands.
We let go of that which we shouldn’t hold, to receive all that you have for us.
Shape us and use us for your purposes.
All glory and honor and praise be yours, forever and ever.
Amen

Some of the deepest moments of my faith journey has been picking up a good read and letting the charcters inspire me. Christian Fiction or better yet Biblical fiction has a way of opening up our mind into what life MAY have been like back then.
