Genesis 1: Commentary for my students :) {Hi! I miss you already!}

These are my thoughts on Genesis 1. If you were sitting in front of me in the classroom and we were reading together, this is what I would tell you. :)

So sit back, relax, grab a cup of water ... or Gatorade ... or a juice box ... or your Starbucks, and get ready to be fed spiritually!

As you read, try to visualize (get a picture in your head) of what God created each day. Imagine what it must have looked like to God--first there was nothing but darkness and water, then, slowly, each day, God could look at the new things He added to creation. That must have been such a great feeling!

Try to see it NOT JUST as a cool Bible story, but really try to understand that the AMAZING God we serve is really SO powerful that He could just use His words to make everything appear. So, truly, NOTHING is impossible with God.

Think about what you might be going through in YOUR life--some situation that seems almost impossible or truly impossible. God CAN fix it if it is His will. The same God that created the universe (and you!) is the same God that is in charge of that situation. He may or may not choose to fix it. But prayer IS powerful.

That's all, folks! :)

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me. I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section. I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me. So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates! It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far. :) God is incredibly amazing, huh? The big picture that He has shown me so far? Eve

Your "Fairy-Tale" Life

Your life may not look like a fairy tale, and it may certainly not FEEL like a fairy tale, but I am going to attempt to prove to you today that your Christian walk parallels a fairy-tale life. 😊 Initially, this may sound almost blasphemous to you, but I am so certain that I received this directly from God. I pray that it encourages you to believe that God is working in your situation whether you see evidence of it or not. He is such a good God, and such a big God. 😊 First, I would like to start with the main points that a speaker made at a Girls Ministries camp that I attended a few weeks ago, which were the springboard for what God revealed to me. • It took a lot of courage for Cinderella to respond to the prince’s invitation to the ball because of how her family made her feel. • It also took a lot of courage for Mary to obey and follow God’s plan for her life. • If we agree to follow Jesus and accept His invitation, and keep our eyes on Him, He will take us on a beau

This was amazing!

I'm so sorry. I AM working on a new post, but to tide you over until then (I should have it up by next Tuesday), I found this on YouTube and was so encouraged and inspired by it. I will post the story behind the song, and then the link to the song itself. I hope this blesses you!
