Mom-iversity - Sabbath Study - Week 2

I guess I should be happy to report that I didn’t learn a lot that I didn’t already know.  I read a lot of scripture in regard to Sabbath.  There is still so much in the Bible about it.  What I read sits well with me and the way I am currently living my life.  So far I am convinced that we need to have regular weekly sabbaths in our lives.  To do so is a command.  Does the weekly sabbath have to be on Saturday?  I am not convinced that it does.  I believe that God has a lot of grace for His children.  There are a lot of things that He would prefer that we do this way or that way, but He allows us a little wiggle room so to speak.  I think sabbath could be one of those things. 



While He may prefer we rest on this day or that day, it is not a salvation issue.  However, I believe that if we do things His way, the blessings are great for our lives.  Do I want all the blessings that would / could come my way?  You bet I do.  I’m just not there yet.  Maybe I’m just not ready to take that leap.  Maybe I’m just not confident enough in the education I’ve been getting /giving myself. 



I’m taking my time and I’m learning what I can, when I can.  It’s slow going sometimes.  I wish I had days on end to just sit and read and study and learn.  But the reality of the matter is that I’m a wife and a mother first.  And a scholar (if you will) some where down the line of priorities.  I know the purpose of Momiversity is to get us a bit more educated on our topic of choice and I’m so glad that I’ve chosen this topic.  I will continue to study and learn and dig.



In my digging I have learned a few things on side trails, not specifically related to weekly sabbaths.  I’ve learned about Constantine and his creation of his Christian nation.  I’ve learned how he labeled the holidays of his gods with Christian labels so that we are celebrating our special days on the same days has pagan gods.  I learned that as Christians we can’t count to three (Jesus’ time spent in the grave).  I am disappointed that we let Constantine do these things.  I don’t know what this knowledge means for me and for my family, but knowledge is power.  I like being educated and having knowledge.



This coming week I will be digging more into Scripture and some blogs about sabbath.  I’m just not sure where I will be starting.



So there you have a few updates and highlights from my Mom-iversity course.





Still diggin',
