Introduction + Day #1 & #2

Introduction:
My heart just swells as I feel the conviction that, like we sang Monday, "He is more than enough for me." Beth penned it well in her poem, "Take all you want, take all you need, till soul is fed and spirit freed... Jesus Christ. He is all you need." I also relate with how, unlike her love for her husband, Beth wants other women to come to know and love her Jesus like she has. God was so wise and loving when He prompted me to do this devotion and told me I would not do it alone. What joy it brings my heart to know that you are on this journey with me, and Oh, I can just imagine how, if I were doing this alone, I would yearn for you.

I whole-heartedly agree with how Beth summed up the introduction saying, "WE WILL NEVER SPEND OUR TIME MORE VALUABLY THAN IN PURSUIT OF KNOWING JESUS CHRIST." Ladies, that is what we are doing!!! I am thrilled that God has brought us together for this purpose.

Day #1:
Prompted from the praying God's word section, I am fascinated by how God does things. The thought of God initiating pregnancy and announcing it in advance warms my heart and fills me with a sense of wonder and expectancy. I relate with Mary, as I feel God has giving me promises of amazing 'births' that are to come.

Day #2:
  • V. 37- NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD. I love that. That phrase has bombarded me since I read it here. It is something God seems to be pounding deep into me, something that He knows I need to know, that I know, that I know. And, conversely, I like to say... anything is possible with God.
  • Prompted by her first journal question, I love that God comes to us and speaks to us on ORDINARY days!!! I think He wants to show up and talk to us a lot more than we ever realize. Sometimes, He shouts to get our attention, but with me, more often, He waits until I am receptive.
