Conviction
I hope everyone got to listen to Ben Stuart this weekend. He's been speaking at The Village for the past 3 weekends and he's done a great job! If you didn't get a chance to attend then definately listen to the podcast. I was particularly affected by this weekend's message because I just have had a really hard time being in the Word lately. I mean I do read it ocassionaly, but I don't make the time to read every day like I used to and I miss it. I can tell by who I am and the sin that I let live in me that I don't read it every day. The problem has been that I haven't found a great time during the day that will work for every day. Early morning is no good because I can't wake up and since I'm not drinking caffeine all the time anymore...I can't use coffee to help! After work is not good because A: it's time to start making dinner B: I want to hang out with my husband because I haven't seen him all day and C: I'm tired and I go to bed at like 9:00...so it stinks because I'm not really a morning or a night person. So I'm just going to come to work in the morning and before I turn on my computer I'm going to spend some time with the Lord. I started today, so hopefully this will work out. If you see me...you have permission to ask if I have read my Bible today. I don't want to miss out on such a special gift by just being too busy. This is a plus of working in full time ministry!

I didn't get to hear Ben's message from this weekend yet, but am anxious to as the rest of the series was great. I can definitely relate to your problem with consistantly reading the Bible. I'm trying to make time for that one myself..
sounds like a plan. i 'm sorry i haven't been more encouraging/challenging to you in this area. thanks for your patience with me and let's make sure we keep each other in the Word. love you!
I will pray for you in this area Andrea. With Saturday's teaching, and Ben's sermon, we have been so blessed with inspired, gifted teaching on reading the Living, Active Word Of God. I hope and pray as a church we will live in the Word everyday with purpose. It will only happen by the Spirit!
