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!

Faith


Have you ever heard someone say, I wish I had more faith?  Do you think they knew that it was within their power to get more?  Probably not!

As we’ve talked about in past days, faith isn’t some mystical thing we’re either grace with or we’re not.  It’s something we earn; something we go out and get, take and own.  If my faith is weak, it’s not because God failed me.  It’s because I didn’t spend the time or the effort learning about Him through His word.

What challenged you today in Neil’s entry?  What did God speak to your heart?  Is there something He’s asking you to do? 

For me, it’s a renewed sense of passion for His word.  Although I’ve enjoyed writing a daily blog, I’m looking forward to spending more time in the Bible – time that’s just for me.  What’s up for 2012, in terms of this (or another) blog?  I’m not sure; I’m asking God what He has in mind.  For now, I’m going to get everything I can out of Neil’s devotional.  Thanks for making the journey with me.

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.
