100 Favorite Bible Verses...

I got my sample book in the mail just yesterday!

It's always a delight to have and hold a finished book
that you've been a part of... and this one is as beautiful as can be!

This is one of my favorite pages... favorite verses... and favorite flowers.


Just lovely.

The author of the devotionals is Lisa Guest and above is part of what she has
to say about this Favorite Bible Verse.

Yes Lord... thank You for the gift of this day...
give us eyes to see You and ears to hear You
so that we may rejoice in it and give You glory!

Oh yes... I will let you know as soon as the books arrive!!

Walking With God...

I'm reading the book of Genesis right now.  Have you ever read it?
It is so cool... in chapter 5 you begin reading the first geneology in history...
the lineage of God's people from Adam through Noah...
and it tells you how many years each man lived and it says "then he died".
Until you get to Enoch. And Enoch was different.

Instead of "he lived... and he died" the Bible says...
"Enoch walked with God: then he was no more..."  I love it!
Everyone else just merely lived and died... but not Enoch.
He did more than live... he walked with God... and there is a difference.
A life walked with God is filled hope.
I want to be like Enoch, don't you?

Let's walk into this new year together... with a renewed faith... hand in hand
with our Savior... knowing that with Him we can face whatever comes our way.
Knowing that He loves us and cares about every detail of our lives.
Knowing that He is our Father, our Friend, and the Lover of our soul!




I am also reading "Jesus Calling" as my daily devotional and I already knew
I wanted to share with you about Enoch and stepping out in faith... when I had
such a confirmation from yesterday's reading...  I just smiled... so will you...

Jan. 2... "Because I am your constant Companion, there should be a lightness
to your step that is observable to others. Do not be weighed down
with problems and unresolved issues, for I am your burden-bearer."

A lightness to your step... ahhhhh... a spring to your stride!
But the only way we're going to walk lighter is to walk in faith...
and the only way we can walk in faith is to walk with God daily...
spending time with Him in His Word and in prayer... trusting
Him to carry our burdens and reveal Himself to us, in us and through us!
That's my hope for this coming year... for me... and for you!



Heavenly Father... gives us to ears to hear and hearts to believe.
Fill us with the hope that comes from knowing and loving You. 
We want to be different Lord... just like Enoch was different...
we want to walk more closely with You.  So much so that
others may notice the lightnesss in our step and want to know why
so we can tell them about how great You really are.  Amen.

What I'm Reading...

Just had to tell you that I'm off to a good start on my "58 Things" List...
I've already begun on #6 with this little gem...

Have you read any of Robin's books?
I know this amazing woman personally and LOVE her
and so far... I LOVE this book!!
I know... it's been around for a LONG time... but this way I don't have
to wait for the next one in the series to come out... it's waiting for me!!
And just in case you haven't read it,
I've put a link on my sidebar so you can enjoy it with me.


Oh yes... I was gifted Max's book by my publisher so it will be next.

We all have fears so I'm sure I'll be encouraged by Max's insights
and scriptural exhortations.


And I've been savoring moments of inspiration in Blogging for Bliss.

This book is delightfully inspiring and just plain pretty!

So... have you read the SisterChicks series?
Do you think you'll read Fearless?
Have you been inspired by Blogging for Bliss?

I am so thankful that God has given us the ability to read
and learn and grow! And I love that He has given us each other
to learn from and be inspired by!

Above all may we always be learning more about and
growing in our love for Christ and for each other!
Be blessed my freinds...
