Two are better than one...

I find it so easy to fall into the habit of spending time with God "later".  School activities, projects, family, homework, sports, hanging out with friends, work, video games, movies, texting, Facebook, blogs... so much to do.  None of these are bad choices... I just find myself placing many of these things first when it comes to how I will spend my time... and placing my time with God aside. How about you? Do you have a time each day that you read His word,  do you talk with Him?  Are you looking around to see where He is already at work and joining Him? 

You know Tim is so right when he says " we are not meant to do this alone".  Scripture tells us "two are better than one..." so I want to ask you to join me in reading the entire bible this year. We can encourage each other throughout the year. Dig deeper and find out what He has in store for our lives - what an adventure!  So beginning today, January 1, 2009 I will post each month's reading and if you would like,  you may join in.  If you fall behind pick up on the next day - its okay!!!  I also want to encourage you to write down your prayers and thoughts this year.  It is awesome to look back and see how God worked in your life.  

If you choose to join in on this journey see me on Sunday or e-mail me at dwhipple@bridgepointonline.org I  have a journal for you. It will not be easy and yes we may fail at times but that is why God wants us to journey together so we can pick each other up and continue the journey.  

Read the following scripture... then ask yourself if you would like to join in on this adventure with us. 

Serving Him,
Donna

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one, because they a have a good return for their work:  10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up.  But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.  But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

God wants us to journey together and we need each other on this adventure.
