Two sisters in Christ talking about faith and seeking to live it out.
This name for Jesus means God with us. Join me on the blog by clicking on the link: Immanuel. Feeling too busy or hurried to move to another sight? Oh sisters, I get it. Busy is exactly the thing that keeps us from noticing God with us. Embracing this name of Jesus takes slowing down, … Continue reading Immanuel
A short conversation with a friend led me to reflect on why I observe Lent. My first gut response was because I feel led to prepare for Resurrection Day. But today's name for Jesus spurred me to think about my focus during this season and my testimony, the very reason I am a follower of … Continue reading Mediator
Today's name is a struggle for me. I am prone to avoid reflecting on the crucifixion by nature. When it comes to the horror and pain Jesus endured, I'm like the one who watches a scary movie with her eyes covered. Read more on Jesus' name, Lamb of God by clicking on the link. As … Continue reading Lamb of God
Believers are light dwellers, and sometimes we forget it because darkness seeps in, distracts us from the light. Carol reminds me "darkness is the absense of light. It has no power to invade or take over." Darkness is absolutely nothing. But light, the Light of the World, has the power to overcome and shine bright. … Continue reading Light of the World
If you've studied with us then you probably know Carol and I both have found the dictionary is a wonderful tool to use when studying God's Word. Just yesterday as we practiced the Divine Hours (my Lenten discipline this year) and I wondered out loud about the use of a word, Carol turned to the … Continue reading Redeemer
On this sixth day of Lent may we remember who it is we serve. In the midst of our circumstances it is easy to forget Jesus wasn't just any man. He was the Son of God. When this dawned on me anew I took a deep breath and thought, Wow! I almost forgot the power and … Continue reading Son of God
Happy Friday! Today's name is I AM. You'll first find it in the third chapter of Exodus. Later, in the Gospel of John, Jesus makes seven I AM statements. I am the bread of life. (John 6:35-48) I am the light of the world. (John 8:12, 9:5) I am the gate. (John 10:7) I am … Continue reading I AM
Happy Lent! Can we really call this forty-day season happy? Is there any joy to be found in self-denial, repentance, death on a cross? Yesterday I was reminded this is not a death season. This is a season of resurrection. Yes, we will pass through Good Friday, but it is not the end. Resurrection is … Continue reading The Word
We finished up Connecting Heart to Heart with God and hope you will continue to pursue Him in His Word with your mind, will, and emotions. The original teaching of February's Gather spiritual discipline was taught as a way to read through a book of the Bible using the three questions in each chapter: What … Continue reading Continue Connecting with God’s Heart
Gather: February 2020 It’s our final week of the February Gather and we are so glad you have joined us today. This month we’ve been Connecting Heart to Heart with God through passages of Scripture by asking Him three prayerful questions as we read: What five things do You want me to know, Lord? What … Continue reading Connecting Heart to Heart with God: Will
