Bible Devotion and Prayer

"And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." Ephesians 6:18

My husband and I have suffered through four miscarriages. They were the darkest days of my life. I literally spent many moments in a dark closet, and all I could pray was "God, I hurt. God, I hurt." Along that traumatic path, I made many wrong turns (and I still do). Yet, through the Bible and prayer, God has been faithful to guide me back.

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6

Taking sole responsibility for my children's education is an overwhelming task. . .yet, despite those occasional, creeping self-doubts, it is a decision I have never regretted. It is amazing to see how God weaves together our daily lessons, when I am open to His guidance. As the fruits of our labor become evident, I remember how valuable is this season in my life!

Knitting

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." Psalm 139:13-14

Over ten years ago, I picked up a pair of knitting needles. I haven't put them down since. I fell in love with the art...the colors of the yarn, the texture as it slips over my fingers, the repetitive rhythm of the clicking motions. I love that it gives me the chance to sit, ponder, reflect and refresh. Most of all, I love the opportunity to emulate a very creative God.

"He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much..." Luke 16:10

We are on a quest to live more naturally, more responsibly, more sustainably. I'm not sure exactly what that will look like in the end, but I have learned that REAL lasting change is gradual and incremental. We are slowly seeking that permanent kind of change.

About Me

Several years back, when I first started seeking God, I attended a little bible study at one of the big local churches. The leader assigned us the task of writing a "life mission."

I thought it so corny and commercial at the time, but (fresh out of college) I had a habit of following ALL my teacher's assignments.

Turns out, it was a great little task. I sought God in prayer and He gave me a mission I cannot forget:

"To grow ever closer to God, to learn to decipher His voice, and to follow His command."

It is the mission I have attempted to follow ever since. Thanks for sharing the journey with me!

Your Little Homie, Kristen
