Streams in the Desert, March 22 God is never in a hurry but spends years with those he expects to greatly use. He never thinks the days of preparation too long or too dull.

Here I am arriving for work early in the morning. I really am smiling—it was just so sunny out that I was squinting!! I love my new job! I work two days a week for the Church Planting Office of the @bfcdenomination. I’m an office assistant which includes mailings, digital marketing, and whatever else I’m asked to do. It’s exciting to see our church plants grow! Being here and hearing how God is using new churches to build His kingdom is so encouraging to my faith. Church is vital to the life of a believer and God uses the ministries of the church to reach unbelievers. You may be in a point of discouragement in your own church life, but I want you to know that God loves the Church and amazing things are happening in churches all across the world. Don’t give up! #biblestudy #calledtoserve #churchfam #churchfamily #churchflow #churchlife #churchtime #community #devotional #godsfamily #ilovemychurch #ministryislife #ministrylife #pastorswife #pastorswifelife #powerofprayer #seekhimfirst #shereadstruth #wellwateredwomen #womeninministry #womensministry

Tonight at youth group we studied a hard part of Scripture. Genesis 15 when God makes a covenant with Abraham and seals His Promise by passing through a path between two halves of a dead heifer, goat, and ram. Then we talked about God’s unconditional promises to us and how when God has a plan He gives us all the information we need to know. Our job is to obey in the moment.

Distinguish between the fact of God’s presence and the emotion of the fact. It is a happy thing when the soul seems desolate and deserted if our faith can say, “I see thee not, I feel thee not, but thou art certainly and graciously here, where I am as I am.” From Streams in the Desert, March 10

My latest #pursebook in preparation for Easter. Lots of facts that support the Bible’s truth that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again to life in order to give us life.

What is your current favorite Bible verse and why? Mine is Psalm 46:10 and especially the New American Standard Version. Cease Striving. Thats hard to do. I can always think of more that I could be doing. This month I’m going to resist the temptation to do more than the necessities on Sunday. That will help train myself to cease striving.
