WOOOO HOOOOO! Day 60 of the 60/60!!!!

Can't believe it. It's day 60 of our 60/60 challenge! Wow - what a great time it's been. Doing this really has shaped the way I think and engage with God. I hope it's done the same for you.

Obviously we don't want it to stop. The idea is that we would do it for so long that it would become part of our lives. I hope it has for you. The whole idea of this challenge can be summed up from the book of James: Come near to God and He will come near to you. ~ James 4:8

Please leave a comment below with brief summary of how the 60/60 challenge has impacted your life. I can't wait to read them. PE

August 10 - 60/60

Yesterday our Youth Pastor intern, Eric Krause, spoke about how we really see our relationship with God. He put forward two of the most powerful questions I think we can ask. When we get the answers to these two questions straightened out, our lives are forever changed.

The two questions are: Who is God? and, Who am I in relationship to Him?

Eric went on to tackle the differences between seeing ourselves as slaves to God, or sons of God. Huge difference. Here are some of the differences Eric pointed out:

a slave is driven by duty. (I have to do this to please God)
a son is driven by devotion. (I love to please God)

a slave is poor. (you only get what you work for)
a son is rich. (you have everything that belongs to the Father)

a slave has a master.
a son has a Father.


Powerful truths to think about this week. Kudos to Eric Krause for being used by God to speak to us yesterday. Grateful he's on our team.

August 5 - 60/60

Today is my daughter's 5th birthday. Her smile is amazing. Her personality is so much fun. I can't take my eyes off of her.

Wonder what our heavenly Father thinks about us...read Psalm 139.

Good stuff...He can't take his eyes off of us...

60/60 - August 1

Can't believe it, but it's day 49 of the 60/60 challenge! I'm definitely sensing His presence with me more and more. I hope you are too! I'm finding myself wrestling with the fact that I always seem to be in a hurry and Jesus never was in the New Testament. Just something He's been showing me lately.

What's He been showing you?
