30.30.30. Day 3 The Passage: John 6:26-40 26 Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which …
30 minutes, 30 days, 30 passages 30.30.30. Day 2 The Passage: John 1:1-34 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that …
30 minutes. 30 days. 30 passages. Here is the challenge: spend 30 minutes each day, for 30 days, in 30 Bible passages. Over the next 30 days I will post passages, along with different questions and ways to meet with God. I think as we do this for 30 days it will more likely become …
There are times and places when too many things attempt to “fit” into a space made for much less. You have probably been on an elevator that is quite full, and yet, someone on it optimistically tells the next floor of people, “Get on, we can squeeze.” So everyone squeezes. You are in the …
Devotional for Potential New Members During Recruitment- Some friends of mine shared with me this devotional for girls going through recruitment. I think you will find great thoughts and questions that anyone would find helpful! I wish I had this when I was going through rush (as recruitment was called back then!). If you know …
God seeks our lowliness. He desires it — earnestly wanting it for us. Not because He is a God who wishes to crush us or takes pleasure in our unhappiness, no it is for the exact opposite. Because of His great love for us, He desires our lowliness. Becoming Like a Child Another way of …
This is an older post, but I thought it was worth bringing back… Ours is a world fueled by likes, influence, followers, numbers, and appearances. We are consumed with ourselves and making ourselves known, heard and followed. It is easy for me to feel like I never quite measure up, depending on which way I turn. …
I’m always thinking of ways to be more effective. I like to organize a closet in order to make more room. I notice a hole in the way our team operates and I want to improve it. I make a list so I can use my time better. Therefore, from time to time I post …
There are moments we all want to forget and erase from our memory (and anyone else as well). We wish we could quietly tuck them away, like an old t-shirt on the bottom of the stack, never to be worn or seen again. Needing more erasers There are points in our life when it seems …
We often think it will be what we have in common, how we are similar or compatible that will make a marriage last. I love the scene in the movie, Nacho Libre, in which Nacho tells Sister Encarnacion that her favorites are also his favorites every day. Commonalities draw us together, but do they make …
Is he “the one?” Is he not “the one?” Around this time, 21 years ago, I was asking myself that very question. My sister had asked me during Christmas if I thought Brian was “the one.” I had told her, “I think so but I’m not sure yet.” I also wondered, “How will I know …
I have a small painting from China of an apple harvest. The painting is dotted with lots of red round juicy apples and of workers diligently picking and packing the apples. The apples are plentiful and the workers are harvesting. I have thought how odd the picture would be if the harvesters were instead, sitting …
Usually an “encounter” with something or someone is unexpected, possibly sudden or brief. Yet, even though it is unexpected or brief, it is in some way impactful. We may even be changed by it, or feel our life is interrupted in some way as a result of the “encounter.” And so it is with Jesus. …
This is the first year I have taken full advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday for Christmas shopping. Sitting in the comfort of my home, saving up to fifty percent, and pairing it with free shipping, is my way to shop! It sure beats the traffic, dreary weather and waiting in long lines. I …
Fudge reminds me of the Christmas season. My Grandma made it during the holidays, then my mom and now me. Some college women came over last week for a study break, (or maybe to just put off studying for exams) and we enjoyed talking, drinking cocoa and soaking in Christmas at the White House. While …
