Things I'm learning lately
Verse Meanings
Psalm 139 Meaning: 'Fearfully and Wonderfully Made'
Psalm 139:13-14 is on baby-shower cards, but David wrote it with enemies in the room. What 'fearfully' and 'knit' mean, and what the psalm never promises.
Verse Meanings
Philippians 4:13 Meaning: 'I Can Do All Things' and What Paul Actually Meant
Philippians 4:13 was written from house arrest, about being content when hungry. Why the NIV says 'all this,' what Paul meant, and what the verse will not do.

A note from the mom behind the notes
Hi, I'm Vega — and I'm learning alongside you.
I'm not a Christian; I grew up in a Taoist family in Taiwan. But I watched my aunt and the moms around me stand on a few Bible verses through the hardest years of parenting, and I wanted to understand what makes those words so strong. These are my study notes — the meaning of the verses, the stories behind them, and versions I can tell my own kids — with every source linked.
