welcome to connect: project 2011

This blog is a project I'm undertaking for 2011... Why don't you join me?

The goal is to spend a little time each day reading from a devotional book, Daily in Christ by Neil T. Anderson, and connecting with people via blog post and comments.

Don't have the book yet? You can find it on Amazon, or you can read the daily post at:
www.crosswalk.com/devotionals/dailyinchrist

Why would we do this? For me, it's to reinforce a habit I need, to own my own faith, to connect with God and what He's saying to me, and to connect with people who are hungry to know God more...

Your reasons might be some of the same as mine.

The more folks read and comment, the richer the experience will be. Join the discussion!

March 17, 2011


I’ve moved on…

Sin, we need to talk.  Here’s the deal – my feelings about you have changed.  I’m realizing that we want different things.

No, it’s not you – you’re fine.  It’s me…  I’m the one that’s messed up.  Dead, actually.  Well, the me you used to know. 

I’ve changed, and this relationship is holding me back.  I’ve moved on.  I hope you understand.

Also, I want you to hear this from me – I’m with someone else now.  I know, it’s sudden, but I know it’s right for me. 

So all that stuff we used to do together (it made me feel pretty bad about myself anyway), you’ll just have to find someone else to keep you company.  I don’t think we should try to stay friends.  We both know that never works.

Don’t try to win me back; it’s not going to happen.  Nothing you can say is going to change the way I feel, and guilt just isn’t going to work on me. 

You deserve better - you’ll do fine without me. 

Can I have my stuff back?

(Excuse me – I need to get some paperwork filed.  Oh, that – it’s just a restraining order…)

  1. Nice entry Michele. This is how it works for me:

    "Sin, this is the Heavenly SWAT team. We have a search warrant for Johnny's heart, mind and soul. Open the door!" No response at the door, cue flash bangs, windows being broken out,and doors being rammed in (Music to my ears!).

    Jesus walks in as the investigating officer, gives Michael a high five for a beautifully executed entry and tells him He'll take it from here. Jesus present Sin with the face sheet of the search warrant that reads, "I, Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of Johnny's faith, do by swear by me that Johnny's life and everything attached to it have been bought and paid for by, me. By order of the Heavenly court, I hearby authorize me to take custody of all the old and broken things of Johnny's life. Furthermore, this warrant authorizes me to destroy forthwith said property taken into custody by me and replace it with whatever I deem necessary for his life. This warrant is signed and sealed under the authority of the Heavenly court and my blood. Signed and dated this day and every day to come by: Jesus Christ."

About Me

I've been a teacher, a church administrator, and currently I'm an at-home mommy, which is my most challenging assignment yet. My home church is WellSpring - it's where my heart is, where my family is. I'm so grateful to God for His work in me and the people He's allowed me to share life with.
