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!

Transformation

This morning, I won’t get defensive about the wording of Neil’s list.  I won’t take it personally, as if these are things I should already know and not struggle with.

Instead of each one starting out with, “Why should I…?”, a better way for me to read them is, “I don’t need to…”  If it’s more motivating for me, I can certainly do that…

What I will do is to re-read the list, look up the verses for today, and highlight, bookmark, or print them out. 

We keep hearing over and over that getting the truth of God’s word into our lives is the way transformation happens; it’s the bottom line for understanding who I really am as God’s child.  Today, I’m going to invest the time and dig in…

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.
