Who Are You Living For?

Tip #31 – Live everyday asking:

“Will this bring me closer to God?”

If there are things in our life that are drawing us AWAY from God, instead of closer, we need to consider ridding our lives on them. Whether it is an action or an item, we need to consider how it effects us, how it effects others, and how it effects our faith.

Kristin’s Action Plan: I have started to look at each item in our home asking “does this bring me closer to God?” By living with this in mind, I find my life is MUCH more simple, organized, and content. Why do we try to complicate life when God is not?

Another Year of Life!

Today I am thankful because God has given me 27 years of life. I have had a good birthday, one of relaxation, reflection, and football. Dan is gone hunting til tomorrow, so tonight I decided to get my free medium pizza one topping (mushroom of course) from Papa Johns. Scrumptious. And watch football. Because I’ve…

Reading Through The Bible

One of my New Years resolutions – read through the Bible in a year. Last week the pastor was talking about resolutions and he said really they are about change and “forgiving” the past. Repenting of what we didn’t do last year. Well, I have to say I’ve tried to read through the Bible a…

Knitted Together

One of my goals this year is to read the Bible again in one year, but this time in chronological order. Unfortunately I don’t remember everything I read last year, hence me reading through the Bible again. I was reading Genesis 4:1 which says: Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave…

New Year, New YOU: Tip #7 – The BEST YOU!

Tip #7 – Start each morning with the best YOU. What does it take to start your morning off just right? A good night’s sleep? Exercise? Quiet time? A good breakfast? We all have an “ideal” morning – make a list of what yours looks like. As you consider what a good morning is to…
