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!

That Impossible Thing

So if I’m reading this right, and I’d like to think that I am, there were two main points today…

First, we have to have faith – the kind that is all-consuming, all-convincing, that makes you willing to take that crazy risk – in order for That  Impossible Thing to get done.  Noah had an ark to build.  David had a giant to kill.  What’s That Impossible Thing for you?

Second, we need to know for sure what God wants.  Whatever God wants needs to be what we want, too.  Our crazy risk will end up as just that – a crazy risk – if we’re out of line with what God wants.  When we step out from under an umbrella, we can expect to get rained on.  Knowing what God wants by staying close to Him and listening will keep me in the center of what He wants.

Two questions I need to ask myself about That Impossible Thing:  is it what God wants?  Is it really impossible for God?  When I see my problem through His eyes, it doesn’t look so impossible.  Even though I can’t figure out how it will get done or what it will look like, I can have peace, knowing God has it all worked out.

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.
