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!

Cheese

I made breakfast burritos for my kids this morning.  Here's the process:  I scramble the eggs, add cheese, let it all cool down (ALL FOOD MUST BE COLD!), then warm the tortillas and wrap it all up.  Then let it cool down some more, since the tortilla was warm.

As I was throwing cheese on the almost-done eggs, I started feeling sorry for the cheese that fell off the sides of the eggs.  I knew my kids would never eat it; it would get left in the pan. 

It made me slow down just a little, and focus more on getting the cheese just in the right spots.  And as I did, I had this thought:  how much of what I do here on earth is like the cheese in the pan?  It’s going to get stuck here, and it won’t matter – it’s wasted effort.

Only what I do for God gets on the eggs (if you’ll bear with my metaphor).  Today, I’m going to slow down a bit, and work at improving my aim.

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.
