DAILY DECISIONS

We've said this a lot - DAILY DECISIONS DETERMINE OUR DIRECTION. I am praying that you will continue to make the wise choice in 2012. It's all about small daily decisions that over time lead to a big difference.

Did you do the Proverbs Challenge? Don't give up on spending time with God. Keep seeking His wisdom. Maybe take the month of February and read through the Book of Luke and the life of Jesus. Here's some thoughts and ideas that can help you stay connected with God and taking your next step.

I heard a quote this week from Mark Batterson went something like this - if we are going to break a bad habit (a sin habit) we are going to have to replace it with a prayer habit. 

Keep making the wise choice and seeking the All-Wise One! Make it a daily decision that will continue to guide and direction you.

WORD UP

You've heard a lot about our focus this year with VISION 2010 and it's four stages (Pay of Debt, 5:00 pm Gathering, Add Staff, Plan for next site). Each year, we also have a strategic plan for our focus on Sundays, in groups and Next Steps Nights. This year, we are putting a big emphasis on connecting with God and His Word. We're currently working through the Book of James in our According to Jimmy Series. Next month, we'll have another series called The Bible Uncensored that will give us some insight for life from people in the Old Testament. In both of these series, we have specific challenges to spend time in The Bible to know God and His ways. 

The Journey can do nothing with Jesus - the dumb videos, music, kids programs, messages would amount to nothing without Him speaking into peoples hearts and changing lives.

Your life is no different. Jesus give our lives meaning, direction, rebirth, purpose, and fill us with grace, peace and love. Psalms 63 - great verse - Your love, oh Lord, is better than life. So, if we are going to be Agents of HIS mission we need His direction. We need to know Him more.

So, read through the Book of James during this series. Pick up a Starting Line Pack for the One Minute Bible for Starters. Grab a Journey Bible from the Info Center. Check out Youversion.com for Bible reading plans. Whatever you do, just make sure as agents we are connected to Jesus.
