When A Book Connects...

I'm not much of an avid reader so when I do choose to read I'm careful about what I spend my time reading. Non fictional books are my choice and so I am finishing a book right now that has challenged me to the core as a woman. It has helped to explain behavior patterns I've seen in myself and observed in other women. Now the challenge is what to do with this knowledge and new understanding? Where it applies to things that need to change about myself I must not forget what I've been shown; that would be foolish. I must pray that God will change me and rely on His power to do so. In regard to dealing with other women; well only time will tell how helpful this knowledge will be but if it helps me in future relationships even a fraction of how the book has helped to shed light on past relationships then I'm very encouraged indeed. Quite the book to pick up for a summer read.

My Church, My Home

Getting back home after summer holidays has been so nice. I loved being away and connecting with family & old friends etc...but there is nothing like getting back home and settling back into the place you love to be.
The best part of coming home was getting back to our church. The combination of hearing the Word preached, embracing our church family and just being able to adore God together once again. It is a gift that I don't ever want to take for granted. I am thankful to be home!

The Bread Of Life Feeds My Spirit

"I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst."
Jesus Christ - John 6:35
I've pulled up to His table and my spirit has eaten and drank; my heart is full of life and satisfied in Him.
Thanks be to God for He is true to His word.
