The Fall Collection is here!
I know from my own experience that He takes our small dreams and rewrites them to be something better. In the process of dreaming, planning, praying, and seeking Him for direction, something beautiful and unexpected happens…He changes us. Life is not about the accomplishment of our dreams, the success attributed to our names, or the fleeting fame we may receive for but a moment. Life is about knowing Jesus and becoming like HIm. In God’s goodness, He often uses dreams to accomplish that.
The purpose of the “Give Me Jesus Journal” is to provide a meeting place for you to come with your Bible, a pen and an open heart. Devotionals, Bible studies and books are incredible resources, but the words of man will never compare or give life to the heart like the words of God do. In high school I did my first Beth Moore study and it changed my life. I didn’t realize how much treasure was in the Bible! Beth Moore inspired me to know Jesus like she did. If she could read Scripture and glean so much truth from it, then I knew with the Holy Spirit in me, I could as well. And you can, too!

This week we are going to begin studying the book of Philippians on Instagram. Each morning I will share what I studied and would love for you to share as well! Each week I will put up one blog post with information about the book and our study. My goal in studying the book of Philippians is to learn more about Jesus Christ and the life He has granted us to live through His death on the cross. Jesus should be at the center of our lives, but what does that mean? How do we live with Him being our goal, our prize, and our joy? My heart is full and expectant at the work God is going to do in us as we open up His Word daily.
