SOWING…
March 2023 marks the Seventh Anniversary of Teachable Moments Magazine!
God planted a seed in my heart to provide a platform for authors to write their stories for an audience that was hungry for new thoughts, ideas, ways of learning and how to cope with life’s teachable moments.
In December, God gave me this theme for 2023: “Sowing”. I embraced Sowing due to its meaning – the process of planting seed. These are two scriptures (there are many) that spoke to my spirit.
Ecclesiastes 11:6 “Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.”
Isaiah 61:11 “For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.”
We must all work to be a blessing and produce where God has planted us. Having a heart for God will drive our desire to fulfill the plan He has for us to sow and reap the harvest of our labors. We cannot allow objections, naysayers, hardships, or difficulties to hinder our sowing plan of action.
It is our desire to ensure the Year of 2023 will produce continued sowing of seeds of encouragement, forgiveness, purpose, faith, and harvest. Please enjoy the articles written by our gifted authors and leave a comment if you so desire.
Thank you for your continued support on this journey of revealing these teachable moments.
