Habits


So what Habit have you chosen? The sermons at church lately have been challenging us to make good habits for God. I chose study. When you see me ask me how I'm doing...keep me accountable. I want to study a few topics but I am going to let them be born out of the daily reading I do so when I come to a point of interest, that the spirit will point out, I will let that be what i study. Last week I took some time to study trust. Not sure how it came up I just did. Here are some points form the study.
-God cares for those who trust in him.
-We need to trust in God not our own securities.
-God is trust worthy.
-A person can not trust in money and God.
Oh and I learned one other thing about myself, I need to get more familiar with the minor prophets again. I couldn't find Nahum and in fact I was doubting it's existence as a book, as I looked for it. eekk LOL.
So that is where I have taken the sermon challenge. How about you? What new habit, Good Habit, are you applying to your life?
If you didn't hear the sermons you can listen to them atin the message library. and the series goes until the end of June.

The Light vs darkness Cont.

I can only imagine you all think I've gone off the deepend or something, being so down right depressing. If you know me at all, you'll know I see the positive side of life, but not always I guess. I have had a few weeks of interesting questions for God and doubts and seeing more darkness than light it feels.... I am not sure how to explain it, I do feel like I am on the up swing though. The positive me is coming back. God and I have had some "chats", I've wrestled it out with him. Not that I have it all together now but feeling more confident... hard to explain..... One thing I want you to know is that when you doubt and when you feel more darkness than light you are not alone. I mean that in 2 ways, you're not alone because I can personally say I relate and you're not alone because God cares about you and he is walking through it with you leading you toward the light again. We just need to open our minds to hear what he is telling us.
Now any stories? Share a story about the Light overcoming the darkness.

The Light vs Darkness


Sometimes it seems that darkness is overcoming the light and I begin to doubt that the light of the world is more powerful, more intense than the darkness, the enemy, of life. If you have a story to lighten the day with how The Light has poured into you please tell me I need to know that God is at work.
