E-Mail I Sent to my Bible Study...
Howdy Pilgrims, Today, while studying the vast display of humidifiers at Meijer, I stumbled upon a 2011 wall calendar called “Paths to God”. I bought it on a whim, and was relieved to find when I got home that the calendar was in fact about THE path to God, and not ALL paths to God, as I had begun to worry while driving home. Like a good Baptist girl, I was surprisingly pleased...

– Apostle Paul, II Corinthians 1:9
Oh LORD,
You know the weight I have been placing on my shoulders—the weight I am entirely ill-equipped to carry—the weight I should have never been so arrogant to believe I could take upon myself. I hand it to You. It is Yours to take—only You are sufficient to carry it. I also give You my hands—they are not mine, but Yours to use in whatever way You choose...

LORD,
I’m in a bit over my head. My boss expected me to come in with more experience than I really had. I tried warning her, but she was still overconfident in me. Please God help me learn quickly so that I can take care of my patients properly. Help me keep my eyes and ears open and remember everything my boss teaches me. Please tug at my heart when I’m being stubborn so that I...

Hey, this is how John MacArthur defines the components of salvation in the back of his study Bible. I think that you and I think the same thing, even if we don’t have matching lingo. I’m just sharing his paraphrasing of scripture because I suck at explaining non-medical things…as I found out during my membership interview…that was like a trainwreck, man.
I think these...

I enjoy that when I post Bible verses (or quotes) on my site, they come out looking like fortune cookie fortunes.

Cozy
The Michigan autumn is setting in. Pumpkin pie candle + my blanket my mother knitted for me = way too cozy of a day. My eyes don’t want to stay open, and I am entirely unmotivated to move. I am a sloth.
