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.
Old Testament Prophesy of the Crucifixion - Psalm 22
Both Jesus and David pour out their soul in agony. They feel forsaken, they are bruised, battered and weary. But while David cries out “he has done it” as an answer to prayer, Jesus cries out “it is finished” as the plan for salvation since the beginning of time is now complete. He has delivered His people. One man redeemed, the other one who redeems.
Are We A Judas - John 12:5
We often look and Judas and judge harshly. I mean he is kind of the villain, but we instead need to look at Judas and make sure we check our hearts. Do we have a heart of true devotion like Mary, not worried what others think? Or are we a Judas, with a skeptical soul and heart motivated by worldly desires.
Did Jesus Really Exist?
That was one of my first questions I asked years ago. Did Jesus really exist? And can I find something outside the New Testament that proved Jesus did indeed exist?
Yes.
Sometimes you don’t want to read a 10 minute, highly intelligent, uses big words blog post to see if there are non-Christian sources out there that prove that Jesus really did exist in history. We just was a simple answer until we are ready to dive deeper.

At His Feet - Like Mary
I don’t always have complete blog posts and devotions on my writer’s fingertips but just little thoughts and notes. For example, I love reading about Mary, as in the Mary of the Martha and Mary sisters, and the sister of Lazarus. Mary challenges me greatly because she’s often the very opposite of what tend to be. When we read about her, she is often just taking in life around her. She observes, listens and expresses herself deeply. It’s as if life slows down around her and she truly feels.
Explanation for the I AM Statements
In the New Testament, we are introduced to John the disciple who is the author of the Gospel John. The Gospel of John is unlike the other three Gospels in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The Gospel John doesn’t give us a chronological order of Jesus' life or even share many of the teachings and miracles that the other Gospels use. He uses only events that help prove the holiness of Jesus, his deity. His book is centered around who Jesus is and to show readers that he is the son of God. He uses seven public signs (miracles) and seven metaphorical I AM statements that Jesus claims for Himself.

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.
