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!

The natural person

Have you ever said to yourself, Wow, how do people do all this – stressful life stuff – without God?  I know I have.  Life can be really hard sometimes, and without the anchor of my faith, I’d be adrift in the storm and going under.

What Neil calls the natural person is, I’m thinking, just anyone who doesn’t yet know Christ.  And it cracks me up that in his last paragraph, he gives the full list of stuff that can go wrong if you’re consumed by stress…  Okay, it’s funny, but it also stirs my compassion for those who don’t know God. 

So we’ll stay tuned for the next couple of days to see what Neil has to say about spiritual and fleshly people…  And for today, it’s good to be reminded of the darkness that prevails for anyone who isn’t yet a believer…

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.
