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!

How's my hearing?

Yesterday, I wrote that it’s awesome for me when I don’t have to be in charge of something.  Today, I’m thinking along those same lines.

Today’s entry has me thinking that I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about not hearing from God about my life’s direction because I didn’t go to the right revival service, or sit close enough to the front when the speaker was giving personal words. 

Neil says:  False gifts will not consistently promote holiness but often will specify decisions concerning direction in life.  That function is the role of the Holy Spirit alone (Romans 8:14).

On occasion, could He use a word of prophecy to nudge me?  Sure - He can do whatever He wants.  But the main way He speaks to me is what He set up to begin with:  His word and His Spirit. 

So I haven’t missed the boat on that big decision I need to make!  God isn’t hiding from me; He wants to be heard, loud and clear.  I just need to remember to listen in the right places.

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.
