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!

Voices

Whoa – hearing voices?  What?  Well, guess it’s a thing.  Makes sense, really…  Deep down, we mortals have a curiosity to know about the supernatural.  God put it there!  It’s so we’ll go looking for Him! 

Today’s entry got me thinking, though, about the fact that often, God speaks to us in a still, small voice.  The Holy Spirit is always with us, guiding us.  He is the Original; the other voices are counterfeits. 

So how can I make sure that the voice I’m listening to is the Holy Spirit?  I need to know God’s character, by knowing His word.  I do this by spending time reading my Bible and digesting what I read.  When I do, I’ll know right away if something’s off about the message I’m receiving. 

Today, my focus will be on listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

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.
