Women’s Midweek Devotional 4: Casting Off The Shackles of Comparison With Shannon Buckner and Lisa Laoye

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Practical things that will help you to rely and trust in God.

Pray

Pray about your desires, pray about the people you are envious of so you can see them the way God sees them. Pray about insecurities, and struggles.

Gratitude List

Sometimes writing out the things you are grateful for will help you see how much God loves you because of what he has blessed you with.

Trusted Relationships

Sometimes you just need a friend to talk to or to pray with.  And sometimes hearing someone else’s prayers for you is a huge encouragement. The Bible tells us in Mathew 18:19-20 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”  (Let that sink in)

Professional Help

Here we’re talking about a counselor or a therapist. Some people even go to their pastor or Bible group leader.

Go-To Scriptures

These can be in the form of scriptures that you keep on notecards, posted around your house, or on your phone, and even on jewelry like mantra bands with encouraging phrases or scripture on it like “Be Still and Know” or “Remember who you are” Verses that remind you that God is working in your life

Books

There are many books on self help that can be bought or checked out at a library e-books or physical books. Also audiobooks and podcasts that you can listen to on your way to work, or while you are cooking or working on your car, housework, exercising the list is endless.

When we use our opinion in social settings, it should bring unity, not discord.  Our opinion should bring glory to God because the world is watching, and so is God.

Grow Green Onions in Water in Just 7 Days

I don’t know about you, but my family loves green onions, and we always seem to run out in between trips to the grocery store.  So today I’m going to show you how to grow your own green onions in just 7 days with only water and keep harvesting them for weeks to come.

Check out the video below, or skip down to continue reading.

 

The first thing you will need are onions.  Organic green onions will be best because they don’t have any pesticides on them and well, they are organic.

Next, you need to cut the tops off all the way down to the bulb.  I think it is best to do this to as many onions as you can.  I used the entire bag of green onions and just placed the green tops back in the refrigerator to use for the week while these were growing.  This way, as they grow, I will only cut what I need so the others can continue growing.  When I cut them, I left a little green on the bulb but you can cut it a little farther if you like.

Next, place the bulbs in a small leak-proof container.  I used the bottom of a water bottle and filled it half-way with filtered water.  Now place the onions in a sunny place and remember they like lots of water so keep that container full.

You will see growth over-night.  Below is how much growth my onions had over 1 night.

Day 5

 

On the evening of day 6 (no photo because I forgot to take one) I boiled 4 eggs to make potato salad and decided to cool the egg water and feed it to my onions and basil.  I’m glad I did because the shot up even taller.

Day 7 the green onions are ready to be harvested.

I already cut some of these onions on day 6 because they were fairly long, and I needed them for a salad.

When you harvest your onions, only cut the older ones.  You will know which ones they are because they will be thicker, and some will be taller.  Cut them at the bottom just like when you started and they will continue to grow and you just continue to cut what you need while the others grow.
