The Times Maybe Uncertain YET....

As the new year begins, we find many are facing economic crisis and if not crisis at least concern. It seems life as we know it is changing all around us. These are uncertain times. We don't know what will come to pass in the days and months ahead. YET... {I love that word}

YET adverb
inspite of everything
used to stress that it remains possible that something will happen or that you are still determined to do something despite present difficulties



{Here's what I know} God never changes. He is dependable, consistent, immovable, reliable, steadfast... He is CERTAIN.


Now faith is being sure of what we
hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1




I don't know where you are on your journey with God, but I know God longs for you to know Him. Over the next several weeks, we are going to be blogging about the many attributes of God. We hope this is a great way to help in your pursuit of God.

We believe that as we focus our eyes on God and who He is, we'll be encouraged to live a life marked by faith and action.

I've asked Jan Merkel, our brand new Ministry Assistant to the Women of Grace, to help us develop our prayer life by focusing our attention by praying through the various attributes of God.

Keep checking back, we hope to post a couple times each week.

Looking forward to this leg of our journey together.

Praying as We Breathe In & Out

By offering a simple prayer with every breath, we can be reminded "for in him we live and move and exist" (Acts 17:28). Although rather simple, this practice requires a connection between the unconscious act of breathing and a conscious expression to God. A Bit of History The church has practiced breath prayer or "prayer of the heart" for millennia . The Eastern Orthodox Church, in particular, has seen breath prayer as a way of living out Paul's instruction to "pray without ceasing."         Examples Jesus Prayer Take a moment to become aware of your breathing. It might help to find a quiet place -- close your eyes and notice your breathing. As you breath in -- bring your thoughts to Jesus. As you breath out -- express a word of gratitude or need. For example, breath in -- saying "Lord, Jesus Christ" -- breath out saying "have mercy on me." Throughout your day -- as you notice your breathing -- take note an...

Journaling: A Way of Watching God at Work

Does the idea of journaling sound sweet or just give you sweaty palms? SCROLL DOWN & ADD YOUR COMMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST BY CLICKING ON comments below ! Open my eyes so I can see what you show me of your miracle-wonders. Psalm 119:18 The Message Journaling is a way of; paying attention to our lives, reflecting on God's presence and guidance, and creating an ongoing record of our soul's journey into God.

If you don't write well, remember that you don't need to write beautifully or use complete sentences. Journaling is a way for you to be with God and your thoughts, not an exercise in language arts.
