Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Friday, March 28, 2003. I'll admit that I've been feeling pretty discouraged about my growth recently. My devotional life has dropped into almost non-existence in the past few weeks, and I'm barely posting here once a week, much less once a day. It also doesn't help that I'm feeling very "blah" about life in general. Sorry if that didn't make any sense at all! Oh, and don't worry, we worked things out and I feel like everything's a-okay again. Posted b...

Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Saturday, January 31, 2004. An Old Fashioned Kick in the Butt. I received an email today, and at first I thought it was pretty harsh, but almost immediately after I realized that I felt that way because it was so penetratingly accurate:. Resolutions. wishful thinking. they sometimes amount to the very same thing. Prayer, devotions, Bible, solitude. Tell your readers why these four items for resolution #1? Because some book said so? You've turned these ...

Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Friday, November 28, 2003. When I read Dan's comment this morning, I was most struck by the reminder to be thankful. It's been something we've talked about in our small group- noticing the everyday graces- but in the past couple of weeks I've been so stressed with essays (last minute) and whatnot, I haven't been practicing thankfulness. It was a total God thing that my friend wrote to me with the words I needed to here and when I needed her encourageme...

Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Monday, March 05, 2007. Disciple: Week 6, Day 1. So today we read the 10 Commandments as outlined in Exodus AND Deuteronomy again. That means that we’ve basically read the same thing for this study four. Anyway, we’re supposed to compare the two passages. I don’t really see a lot different about them, except that in Deuteronomy, Moses spends more time reminding the people that God delivered them from Egypt:. Contrast this to Exodus:.

Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Saturday, December 06, 2003. Oh yes, definitely relevant. Okay, so a lot of the activities and even some of the emphases ("Is the opportunity to add something to our "tresaure chest" of stuff worth getting deceived and humiliated? I getting so upset about?

Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Sunday, August 10, 2003. I went to Bettina's engagement party yesterday, and it was great not just because of the food, the decorations, or the people, but because of the conversations. It was really amazing because the conversation between Jen, Alice and I wasn't just everday catching up kind of stuff, we talked- pretty honestly, in my opinion- about how things were going in our spiritual lives and really shared our true feelings about things. And to ...

Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Sunday, October 28, 2007. Calvary Baptist Church Misawa, Japan. Taken from Mel's Adventures in Japan. I went to church in Japan for the first time today. It was definitely a bit of a weird experience, and it made me realize a few things:. 1) becoming part of an established faith community takes work and perseverance. 2) one friendly face/one person acknowledging that you're new and welcoming you makes a HUGE difference. From the main gate, go straight.

Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Monday, March 12, 2007. Disciple: Week 7, Day 1. And, one week later. Yeah, so I haven’t been doing so well in terms of keeping the blog up-to-date. I have been trying to do the readings daily, though last week I was pretty much out all day from Wed.-Sat. so I ended up reading days 4-6 Sunday afternoon right before going to small group. I know, I know, that’s not the point. I’m going to try a bit harder from now on! The line about coming to God on God’...

Finding God in a world of busyness and distractions. Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Disciple: Week 9, Days 2-3. When I was reading the story of King Saul yesterday, I kept wondering if what he did was really so bad that he deserved to be rejected by God as King of Israel. Of course the latter is precisely what King David did. Sure, David was punished the child born of the adulterous affair died and later his own son tried to kill him but not like Saul, who ended up losing his sons, kingdom and life. Samuel s...
