Day 6 ~ “Just Sit Down Will You!”

Hmm…. It’s funny that I ended up with this verse, and not even on purpose. I just happen to be reading a book, and the first word of the title refers to this exact verse. The word is “Sit”. In that one little word, there lies a world of depth and power! Am...

Day 5 ~ Back to Life

(Sorry for the delay on this post! We ran into some technical difficulties, but we should be back on track!  God bless as you memorize!! ~The Journey Team) I had begun to memorize Ephesians 2 some time ago, and to be perfectly honest I glossed over verse five on my...

Day 4 ~ Two Words that Change Everything

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us” Ephesians 2:4 I love this verse. I love the whole chapter, actually, but this one verse grabs me the hardest every time. The verses leading up to it paint a dark picture and a concept that is...

Day 3 ~ Red Flags and Bon Bons

“Why did you cut the potatoes that way?….. …..I thought I told you to slice them this way. This supper is going to be ruined,” I said angrily. I had done it again. I had lashed out in anger at one of my siblings. I always hated myself when I did this, and...

Day 2 ~ When My Walk Changed

I’m a father of eight kids, and we’ve been involved in things like ATI and the Journey for years.  People would say I’ve got a good Christian life. But I didn’t always understand what it was to really follow Jesus Christ. I had accepted Christ...

2014! It’s Almost Here!!!

3…..2…..1….. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Well, almost. Soon we’ll be jumping into another year, a diet here or there, the promise that we’ll do better with our exercise plan, our Bible reading time, and then trying to remember to write 2014 now...
“Hi! I Just Got Out of Prison…”

“Hi! I Just Got Out of Prison…”

Announcing a special Embassy Live! Webcast!! “So, how have you been?” “Oh good! I just got out of prison!” …. Yeah, not exactly what you’d expect to hear from a bunch of Christian young people; but, if you’d asked a lot of us...
Learn Photography from God’s Perspective

Learn Photography from God’s Perspective

I love photography! I’ve been taking pictures ever since I can remember. I love God too! And of course, I love Him infinitely more than I do photography. But this combination of love for God and photography makes for great devotions in the morning with the Lord....

Burst Free From Your Bubble!

Some inspiring thoughts from a previous Journey attendee! “For the past several years I have had the privilege of working along with several other young people to bring the gospel to unchurched families in my city. We have a bus ministry and Sunday School that...
“Sure, I believed Scripture…”

“Sure, I believed Scripture…”

A testimony from the June 2013 Girls Journey! What? Me? That lovely young lady who goes to youth group, sings every Sunday in choir,and works as hard as she can during Church projects? Yep, the same one. I’d been in ATI since before I was born! My grandparents...
A New Desire…

A New Desire…

The main thing that I worked through this week was pride. I really struggled with pride and wearing a mask. I also struggled with not having a desire to read the Bible or spend time with God. Before I came on the Journey, I really wanted to get rid of pride and to...
