Eph 4:1 "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."

POSTER: And He Shall Be Called...
BOOK: The Names of God
YT: That's My King, Dr. S. M. Lockridge

ALSO, thinking of Biblical Examples of name changes = new life/position/role in Christ EX) Abram --> Abraham, Jacob --> Israel, Simon --> Peter, Saul --> Paul (~2Cor5:17)

Abba, as I meditate on Your Name, may the reality of who You are become more and more real to me, and may my life be lived in response to the reality of what Your Name reveals about you. Amen.

got wisdom?

I've been reading Proverbs daily on-off for a while now.
Desperately seeing to gain the wisdom of God amidst the fight for time and creating space in my day for Him to speak to my heart and mind.

QUOTE on my wall:
Make time for the quiet moments, for God whispers and the world is loud.

What an appropriate day, Shabbat, to allow Him to start a "new work" in me - to stop thinking about reflecting and sharing, but to just actually DO IT!

Not only as I read these Proverbs daily... the first words I read and speak when I wake up in the morning... but as I share reflections on 1-2 verses that stick out, I hope to share what I'm learning with others.

Romans 10:17 "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."

Learn It.
Love It.
Live It.

"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing UNTO YOU (acceptable in your sight) O God, my Rock and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14


O God!! My hearts desire is this prayer alone... that my life would be an acceptable living sacrifice, before an Audience of One. Amen

COTH Community Groups

Fun on the stage talking with Pastor John about Community Groups... was a smidge nervous, but I think HS eclipsed it with excitement for The Word =D

Super Excited for this next season. Bible Basics or r12 (leaning more r12-ness during the summer or individual free time? or fall? dunno)

Therefore, Bible Basics... so much to say! HS plan the curriculum-outline and tell me what you want me to say, okay?! =P
