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!

When God whispers

It occurs to me, reading today’s entry, that it’s possible to get lazy when it comes to checking everything against God’s word. 

I was reminded on Sunday (awesome sermon, Bob!) that the main way God will speak to us is through His word.  It’s as if my daily Bible reading time is doubly important:  He will speak to me now through it, and He use my knowledge of His word to help me check to see if something is from Him.

There have been a few times in my reading where I’ve come across a passage that directly applies to what I’m going through.  It’s awesome when it happens, but usually the way it goes is that while I’m reading, God will whisper something to me – maybe it’s about the story, maybe it’s an insight into His character and His heart – and I love those moments.  They happen most often when I’m not in a hurry and not distracted; today, I’m going to make it my goal to take my time and listen.

What about you?  How do you hear God’s voice?

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.
