Category: Growth Process

For the past two decades I have been journaling during my quiet time.  Recently I started to feel like I should go back and review those journals and type out the lessons. There are many things that I have learned over the years that are engrained in my life, they have become part of who I am. There are some lessons, that like the parable of the seed, fell on bad ground.  At the time in my life I was not in a place that those seeds could take root.  I need to be reminded of those so that I can continue to grow.
There are some lesson that I am still learning.  Things I know that God continues to show me time and time again, like the children of Israel because I need them to move forward in my journey.   I need to review them so I can move forward.
These journals are not in order.  I will do my best to date them as they happened, even if they are not typed in that order.  I am hopeful that my journey may help others.  Help others to see:

It is okay to start somewhere.
That God meets us right where we are
He speaks to us in a way that we can understand.
Sometimes it comes in waves and other times in a single sentence.

For me, I grew up in church but never learned about a personal relationship with a heavenly Father that loves me.  I could quote the scriptures and tell the stories, but they were just that words and stories.  I had to start with learning lessons in general.  Grand ideas found in the scripture that were applicable to lives in general.  Then I started to learn how to apply them to my own life.  Now I am able to help others learn to apply the lessons to their life.  If nothing else, I hope that it helps you to grow in faith because for the most part, the person who wrote these journals, is a life transformed.  Below you will find writings from these journals.

In the Image

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— Galatians 3:13 The first time I read Jonathan Kahn's devotion "God in the Image of Man" it really hit me. "On the 6th day of creation God made man in His... Continue Reading →

Go

Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. Genesis 12:1 GO - As I read this scripture I realized that Abram had to go from where his father had settled. God had told her father to go to Canaan but Terah settled instead.... Continue Reading →

Endurance

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5 When we face the things that we want to resist,... Continue Reading →

Reminder

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:17 Jesus pointed out He came for those who needed the Savior. He came for the sick, the broken, the sinners. He came for... Continue Reading →

Like Scarlet, White Snow

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord:though your sins are like scarlet,    they shall be as white as snow;though they are red like crimson,    they shall become like wool. Isaiah 1:18 My mind has a hard time not seeing the prophetic picture of Christ in this passage He washed us white as snow. The devotion I'm reading mentions... Continue Reading →

I am His

Song of Solomon 2:16  My beloved is mine, and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies. I belong to God and He belongs to me.  It can not be out of possession, but out of desire.  When I turn my heart completely towards God, it pleases Him.  His heart is always towards...

Fulfilled

And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” John 1:51 Jesus fulfilled Jacob's dream. The ladder was completed as He descended from heaven. He went down to hell and ascended back to heaven. The angels were with Him. Lord,... Continue Reading →

Ministry

As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:5 Although I enjoy teaching, lately I have felt more called to evangelism; to share what God's word says with others. I don't know if that is what God has called me to, I feel a little lost in my... Continue Reading →

Give Glory to God

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 I say I want to give a glory to God, but I eat without praying usually. I consume my food so quickly it doesn't even honor the cook, let alone God. I drink without thought also.... Continue Reading →
