Is it Over Yet?! Journaling Challenge

A friend of mine asked me that yesterday.  I told him that we are more than half way there (today is day 22).   But we also talked about falling into the trap of journaling out of obligation...

God is on the Throne!

Don’t give up!  You will face resistance in trying to spend time with God.  The other day (day 2), I was attempting to spend time with God and the phone rang three different times, and our dog went crazy because someone came too close to our house.  It was clear that satan didn’t want me to spend quiet time with the Lord.  I persisted on this occasion but if you have missed a day, or haven’t started yet, why not start (or start again) tomorrow.

A Father's Testimony

My daughter lived 780 days (2 years and 2 months) and we often wondered after she died, if she knew Jesus.  She Did!  We know we will see her again and I hope her story will be a comfort to others who have experienced loss.  May God comfort you and bless you!

A Closer Walk with God - Challenge

In our men’s Bible study this past Saturday morning we talked about ‘fear and love’ in the Bible.  I wondered out loud to the group,

‘Do we truly experience a daily tangible relationship with God?‘.

I said, I’m sure we have all had times where we felt close to Him (and multiple heads shook in agreement) but do we have an intimate connection with him daily?  If we did, we probably would better understand what it means to ‘fear’ breaking that relationship with Him.

The Discipline of Journaling

Why Mapping your Private World can bring your soul into focus – Genesis 35:6-7

When I started journaling it was because I needed a “friend,” and I wasn’t doing well with the human kind. Read more here: http://nymensministry.com/2012/11/04/the-discipline-of-journaling/
