"The Lord is here…"

I was reading about a missionary in Guatemala earlier. This missionary was telling a story about a time when they were building a church in the town they were working in. The building was set to start at nine in the morning. When the missionary arrived at 10, she asked the pastor if he was there working alone.

Listen to the pastor's reply:

"'Oh no,' he replied with a laugh, 'the Lord is here with me.'"

How profound.

How simple.

How true.

Thanks for reading.

In God, Emily

Struggle

So I am going to be honest. I have been struggling to be faithful in studying my bible. For awhile. I have been reading it. But in the loosest sense of that word as well. I skim the words to mark of that I read it for that day. (Google Images) In the coming year, I do not want to focus on reading so much as I want to learn how to study the bible. For real. I want to dig into God's word, grow closer to Him, and learn how to listen not just talk at Him. So as I work on being selfless in my prayer life (see my previous post), I am also going to work on studying. There is no way that I am going to continue to grow closer to God if I do not learn how to study His Word. I want to ask you to share any ways that you have that help you to study God's Word. Please leave comments below. Thanks for reading. In God, Emily

"I See You"

A lot has happened in the last few months.  I may post more of an update on that later, but, for your information, we picked up our daughter right before Thanksgiving. As our daughter has grown, my husband has found a sure way to make her giggle that adorable little laugh.    EVERY TIME.    He looks at her and simply says, “I see you!”    I love to hear that little giggle.    It could go on for days.    Matt looks at her and says it.    She giggles.    He pulls back and then leans in again.    He repeats the words.    She giggles.    As I was thinking and contemplating this the other day, it came to me.    That is what every little girl wants – to be seen by her daddy. How true this is for every child of God as well.    We want to know that we are seen by God.  What better way to love someone than by letting them know that they are SEEN. ...

Waiting through the Night

I'm going through a bible study with a couple of friends.  This bible study led us to Exodus 14, which is where God leads Moses to part the Red Sea for the Israelites to flee from the Egyptians. I love how the Holy Spirit works and draws out different parts of the scriptures at different times in our lives.  Before I began studying, I prayed that God would show me something, that He would meet me right there in His Word. Exodus 14:15-31 (ESV, emphasis mine) 15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16     Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel    may go through the sea on dry ground. 17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that           they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his           horsemen. ...
