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!

Truth changes me

The lies will always be there.  I won’t wake up one day and feel like I’m everything God says I am; the enemy of my soul won’t get tired of throwing defeat and discouragement at me.

The more I choose to believe the truth, the easier that choice becomes, but the point at which I overcome the strategies of darkness is when I make that choice.

I find that as I do, I find contentment.  I don’t have anything to prove; I don’t need to control things in my life.  As I choose truth, my perspective shifts, and my emotions follow suit.  I am changed by the choice I make.

As I wrote yesterday, the truth of God’s word is powerful.  As I choose to believe its truth, I’m not making the change by some act of my will; I’m allowing the Holy Spirit to bring the change He’s wanting to. 

That’s where I want to live today.

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.
