Bible in 90 Days Update!

Well, we have reached the halfway point! How many of you are still with me? If you have fallen behind, just jump in and join us today…we’re on day 45.

I love reading the Psalms and how effortlessly David pours out his praises and sorrows to God.

I so relate to the struggles of feeling alone and abandoned, and the need to be rescued, then in the next breath shouting for joy in knowing who my Savior and Redeemer is and that He is ever present.

Our Last “Be Light” together!

This past Thursday was our last day to go out and be light together! It was a blessing to go to the Long Beach VA Hospital…we were able to visit with many vets and staff! We thanked them for their service and let them know how much we appreciated them. They in turn thanked us for thanking them and for showing our appreciation by coming to visit and spend time with them. We were able to hand out The Book of John and cards which they were happily received. All the donated books we collected were left for them, too. God blessed us with a great day and allowed us the opportunity to be (His) light!!

Bible in 90 Days! Day 23...

Wow! We are on Day 23! I love reading the Old Testament. I love reading about the lives of those that went before us. The stories of David’s life have always been a favorite of mine.

What wonderful reminders of the impact a life lived centered on God can make. David was not perfect, but his heart always sought after God. David knew the power of God and the difference it makes in the way you live your life. God was with David, but David’s life was not always easy.

I find as I talk with more and more people right now, they seek after the blessings of God more than the presence of God in their circumstances. I pray that we would be women seeking the presence of God in our circumstances and be blessed by His presence, rather than seeking the material blessings that we naively believe will satisfy.

I hope you are with us on this journey….if you are behind, just skip to where we are and join in!
