I’m working on getting back on track in some of my bible studies. Here are some notes from various days I re-read and completed this morning from The Intercessory Life by Maxie Dunnam.

Day 17 The Secret – Remember this prayer: “Wendy, the secret is simply this, Christ in you, yes, Christ in you, bringing with him the hope of all the glorious things to come.” Also remember this quote “In the pursuit of holiness, too often we have a faith that seeks, but not a faith that rests, thus the joyful confidence of abiding in Christ eludes us. Our faith can be transformed by thinking of all that Jesus is and He is for us.”

Day 19 Greater Works Will You Do – “One of the reasons we don’t see more miracles is that we don’t expect more miracles.”

Day 25 We Are the Sent Ones – “We are living Christs here and now. As Jesus represented the Father who sent him, we represent Jesus who sends us.”

Memory passage for this week: Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” (John 20:21-23)

 

So far I haven’t done a great job with this blog portion of Lent. I stopped taking pictures of myself after about day 5. So since this is the first day of the second half of Lent, I’m starting over.

This morning I’m headed out to do some planting in the garden. I finished potting up peppers yesterday. Grow babies grow!

I’m very happy because my neighbor decided to start a garden too! I love that people come to me to ask about gardening. It is fun to look back at all the things we have tried, to see how far we have come with all of this. I hope God keeps helping me make a space in my life for gardening!
