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!

The power of the tongue

When the subject matter is kids and how they are treated, I’ll admit, I’m pretty sensitive.  And I was oh, so convicted reading today’s entry.  As positive as I try to be with my kids, I’m really glad there’s not a tape recorder running 24/7… 

Proverbs says that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).  The book of James tells us that the tongue is nearly impossible to control (chapter 3).  It would seem that we as humans are prone to the same weakness…

I used to pray this every day, and I think it’s about time for a comeback…

May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to You, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. 
Psalm 19:14

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.
