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!

Amazing love

Is there anything my kids could do to make me stop loving them?  No way.  They may break my heart in big ways or small, but I nothing can erase that love.

Romans 8:38-39 is one of my favorite passages.  It assures me that God’s love is so perfect that I can’t mess it up.  In life, it feels like absolutes are few and far between; God’s love for me is an absolute. 

Love like that can either be taken for granted, or stay in the center of my life as my passion for living.  I find that when I begin to take it for granted, I’m less likely to do what Neil says is critical for harmony – I struggle more with obedience. 

It’s when I stop to glimpse the enormity of who God is and all He has done for me that I find it easy to love from a grateful heart, and easy to obey Him.  Today, that’s my heart’s desire.

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.
