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!

Chewing

It’s not enough to maintain; I need to advance.  I forget that some days.  I forget that I’m part of the armies of God, and that I’m tasked with taking the light to dark places.

It’s easy to be self-focused; it’s easy to get distracted by my own problems.  And clearly, it’s a ploy of the enemy to keep me from lifting my eyes and seeing where I’m needed in the world around me.

Thanks, Neil, for today’s reminder:  I’m getting myself in order so I can stop looking at myself.  That’s what I’ll chew on today…

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.
