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!

Rejection


Let’s all ponder rejection for a bit, shall we?  Good times.  Yet somehow, Neil always seems to give us what we need for healing and transformation from God’s word…

What is it about rejection that makes us take it personally?  A dad (or mom) leaves and a divorce happens, and the kid wonders what he or she did to make them leave.  The job interview doesn’t lead to employment, and we’re left wondering where we’re lacking. 

For today, I’m going to ponder the fact that God doesn’t reject me; He went to great lengths to come and find me, and paid an unthinkable cost to bring me into His family. 

Neil writes that we’re going to learn to handle rejection positively.  Let’s stay tuned…

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.
