The happenings in the life of a Cowgirl Mama. Recipes, stories, Scriptures passages, Western Art Wednesday - our monthly feature
Hey yall,
I decided to switch websites, blogspot is a real pain to use from the phone and I exclusively blog from my phone - in fact my phone is my only way of accessing the Internet period. I had forgotten how hard it is to use blogspot, that headache is actually why I quit blogging 4 years ago. Anyway.
The New Blog Address Is: https://thatcowgirlmama.wordpress.com/
Please head over there if you’re interested in hearing more from me :) Thanks! Ruth
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.”
Revelation 22:1-5 KJV
As I’m reading this morning, a selection from the weekly Scriptures. I had to wonder, as I often have, why no one has put together a in your inbox daily portion of the Parasha. I try to read it with Buckaroo for school, so I’m wondering if it would interest anyone to have me put it up here to land in your inbox. The other thing I’m wondering is how long I’d keep it up LOL but.... maybe I’ll try it. See what feedback I get and how long I can keep it up. We’re just starting a new parasha cycle so it's a good time to jump in!
Today I read from Joshua, the last selection of the old cycle.
I use the Parashah chart from www.hebrew4christians.com to know where we are in the cycle. The Parasha chart is here:

Here’s today’s portion.
Joshua 1:1-18 KJVS
[1] Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, [2] Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. [3] Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. [4] From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. [5] There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. [6] Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. [7] Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. [8] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. [9] Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. [10] Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, [11] Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it. [12] And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, [13] Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. [14] Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; [15] Until the Lord have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. [16] And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. [17] According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. [18] Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
Hey Y’all!
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here, 4 years to be exact! A few things have changed since I posted here instead of a quick blurb on Facebook or Instagram.
I have three children now, Buckaroo will be 6 next month and is doing his first full year of school - we’re using Ambleside Online and loving it. Buckarette is 4, she’s sure she could do Buckaroo ‘s school work and makes sure I at least assign her letters to work on each day. Wrangler is just shy of 5 months old, learning to scoot along the floor on his back and working hard to learn real crawling. He’s also gnawing on everything in sight trying to cut some teeth.
Not only is our family bigger but we’re in a different state, we’re now in Montana! The last year has definitely been an adventure but that’s a story for another day
This post is just a reintroduction of my family since as of
October 1 I’ll no longer be on Facebook or Instagram because of the change in Facebook ‘s terms. I’ll close for now but I plan to start posting the recipes and little blurbs from my life here that I used to post on IG. You can also find my CowgirlMama group on MeWe if you’re so inclined:
