Remember Him

I just wanted to stop in and bring you a reminder today that as I stepped outside this afternoon and noticed the bright sunny skies, it was a reminder that He is here and He is faithful.  Just as most of us don't like freezing weather and gloomy skies, we don't like the feeling of being down, alone or "blue".  The sunshine today was a reminder to me that He our SON is here for us.  I encourage you today to seek Him and spend a few minutes in His presence.  He loves us so much and longs for us to know Him intimately.  Love you girls! Hope to see you Sunday!

One Day at a Time

As a follow up to our lesson from this past Sunday, I just want to encourage each of you to take it "one day at a time".  I know life can get overwhelming at times and the weeks run together. Before you know it, you are back to Sunday again.  I encourage you this week to take at least 5 minutes a day and spend some time with the Lord. 

• Spend time reading a passage from the Bible.  Pick a book you are familiar with.  John is a good place to start.  Don't try to cover tons of ground, just read a passage and think about how you can apply it to your life today.

• Spend a couple minutes in prayer, praising the Lord for who He is in your life, thanking Him for all He has provided to you, confessing to Him where you have failed Him and asking Him for help/guidance in the areas of concern in your life.

• If you want, as Rob talked about this morning, journal.  I go back and forth doing this.  I am not too consistent but when I am, it is really neat to go back and look at what the Lord was doing in my heart that particular day.  Don't put pressure on yourself to do it every day.  Journal when you feel like it.

I love you girls! I am so excited we are here at Crossroads together! I am looking forward to an amazing time with you in 2010! Talk to you soon!
