Experiencing God

I have been going through Experiencing God and really enjoyed a study which discussed the different names of God.   When God stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son Isaac, Abraham named God "the Lord will provide."  When the Israelites defeated the Amalekites because Moses was faithful and held his hands up to God, they called God "the Lord is my banner", since the Lord was going before His people to defeat the Amalekites.  Throughout the scriptures, peopled assigned names for God to help remind them of how He was faith, provided for them, saved them, delivered they from their enemies...the list continues.  

This was a very helpful lesson as it is difficult at times to remember all the things Christ has done for me.  I have been challenged to assign God names to help me remember what God has done.  He is my "Provider of godly friends", "God who comforts and encourages", "My instructor in truth", "My leader", "My friend"...  

Spring Break Service Project Updates

We have found two types of project to complete over the week of Spring Break.  The first will be projects helping elderly in Collin County through Network Ministries.  We will assist this ministry in helping paint homes, trim shrubs and other things that elder people would have trouble completing.  This will be an awesome opportunity to serve the people in Collin County!  

The second set of projects we have are helping repair and remodel Northeast Church.  Northeast sponsors FOCUS and has giving us so much, so I'm very excited we will have the opportunity to give back to the church which has given us so much.
