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!

Teaching my kids

Wow – what an intense story!  Oh, my.  I hardly know where to start.

I wonder about what this lady’s childhood was like – what else was going on in the home? What were the parents into?  Was there abuse?  Were there other doors left open that made this girl vulnerable?  I’m not looking to lay blame on someone – I’m just curious; I wish I could know more.

To be totally honest, it frightens me to think such a thing could happen.  (I’m resolving right now to pray spiritual protection over my kids daily…) 

As a parent, there’s always a temptation to shy away from topics that are tough.  If my kids don’t bring it up, why would I introduce them to the realities of the spiritual world right now? 

Okay, now I have a reason.  My prayer is that we will have the wisdom to know what to say and how to say it, and we’ll trust that God will bring the understanding to them.

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.
