Just some thoughts about what the Lord's been teaching me and showing me about Himself. I just can't get enough of His Word. Praise Him that I'm finally seeing it as my very life and breath!! I have a new hunger for seeing scripture as a whole and not so much as chapters and sections. Realizing and understanding the specific flow and order and how it builds on each verse is huge!! I know this isn't that mind boggling, but it's been refreshing for me lately. I was excitedly floored (like my adj.??) last night when I saw the connections of scripture while reading through Hebrews. Heb. 4: 13 - 16...you'll have to read it, but here's the basic idea...we are laid bare before our Savior which can seem shameful, but we have a high Priest that has been tempted in every way we are and therefore, we approach His throne of Grace with confidence in our time of need!!! As we see ourselves laid bare we realize our great need, but there's no reason to shrink back...approach Him with confidence!!!
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and loves the holiday season for all that it means......we have reason to celebrate....we've been given LIFE!!!!

Jenn,
Fun to hear you write on here. I am so glad God's word is so fresh to you and encouraging you daily. We think of you all often and miss you lots. I hope you had a great time in MS!
Hey Jen,
Love your thoughts...I just shared that verse about approaching the throne with confidence with my junior high girls small group. What a promise that is. I love to hear your heart and your hunger for God's word. It's encouraging to hear from another who is delighting in His truth. Keep it up and share often...it's good for us to hear that from each other.
Love you guys! Happy Thanksgiving!
