Day 12 ~ Made to Be Me

Verse 10 was another popular one, so another extra day is going towards fleshing this out even more!  “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 A few...

Day 11 ~ The Missed Opportunity Zone

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10  Has God ever called you to do something out of your comfort zone? I mean, so far out there, that it’s...

Day 10 ~ It’s All About Him!

Hullo to all you fantastic wonderful people! 🙂 I hope you’ve been enjoying the 2014 Journey Challenge and that the Lord has been flooding you with insights, echoes of mercy, whispers of His love and more! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ “Not of works, lest any man should boast.”...

Day 9 ~ Game Boy Overtime!

Verse 8 was so popular that two of our leaders wrote something on it, so we’re using up one of our extra days to give you what our leaders have written. I’ve enjoyed sports – playing and watching – for as long as I can remember. I remember when the New...

Day 8 ~ The Missing Foundation

Ephesians 2:8 – “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”   All the pieces started coming together. For years I had struggled with doubts about my salvation. What if I hadn’t prayed the right...

Day 7 ~ The Year is New, and God’s Grace is Rich

Everyone, I have an announcement:  I am SO sorry about the difficulties we’ve been having with getting our posts up on time! This post somehow did not make it up on the 7th so here it is. Again, we apologize! Now, on to Kayla’s post! I don’t know...

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 ~ The Challenge: Day 1

“I am better than Joey, right coach?” My brother could not believe what I had just said to my hockey coach. But I sure felt I had good reason to demand such audacious confirmation. You see in the dressing room a couple of the guys had dared to question whether I was...
