What This Blog is All About

Good Morning! I just wanted to post this again so it will be at the top of the blog - that way you are able to click to a particular subject - if you are interested. I want to make sure that those who come to this blog will be able to find the info they are looking for. Hope you all are doing well. May God bless you! :O)


As I have added more posts to this blog, I have realized that it has made it hard to look up information about the different fundamental believes of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. So I have decided to do up a post that gives the basic list of the beliefs and links to each page that goes into greater detail. That way it is much easier to access, rather than having to keep going back to older and older posts to find things.

Sabbath Is Even More Special To Me Now!

 Sabbath has always been a special day to me, but now it is even more special. I find myself really praising God on Sabbath mornings now because about a month ago, on a Sabbath morning, I realized I was in really bad shape(with Covid). To be honest, There were a couple of times over several days that I thought I would die. That morning(June 26th) God performed several miracles on my behalf and I am so grateful. Now you know why Sabbath is even more special to me now!

What Can You Do Today?

Hello~ I just thought I would check in with my first post of 2020. In the last post I shared about how my church is focusing on Love, Connect and Share. January was the beginning of a new list of small groups and I am happy with the ones I have chosen to participate in. One is a group about Bible Journaling. It really isn't complicated and it helps with thinking on a deeper level as we study the Bible. We are going through the book of Colossian. Basically we read and if a verse or a passage pops out at us - we write that verse down in our notebook and then we write about that passage. Writing questions we may have about the passage. Maybe what our thoughts are about it. How we can apply the passage to our lives. Other verses in the Bible that go along with the passage. Or what God may be pointing out to us through the passage. So many different things. This has really helped me to feel like I am getting more out of studying the Bible.

Another group that I am participating in is a strength training class. This is very much out of my comfort zone but a couple of the ladies in my Sabbath School class wanted to go and I wanted to support them so I went. I think it will be very beneficial to us all.

We have begun studying 1 Corinthians at Prayer Meeting and I am sure that will be interesting.

In February I will be joining an small group as we study Lysa Terkeurst's book "Finding I AM" That should be very interesting.

There are several other groups that look so good that I would love to join but I just don't want to spread myself too thin. I am already studying Morris Vendon's "To Know God" book for Sabbath School- one of my favorite books - will always be on my favorites list - it is a great book - if you have never read it - it is WELL worth the time to read it. And if you would like a copy for free - just leave me a message and I will do my best to get a book to you!!

And also continuing in studying the "Elijah" books by Melissa Spoelstra with my Ladies Group.

Anyway all of this to say I hope that you are studying and working towards a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the MOST important relationship you can have. And I hope you are blessed with the opportunity to study with other Christians. But even if you are not - you always have the opportunity to study and asking the Holy Spirit to join you is worth so much. He will guide your into all truth. And this is important because there are a lot of counterfeits out there.

Hope you all are doing well. What are some ways you can do today to help develop a closer relationship with Jesus? Pick at least one and see what a blessing it will be to your life. :O)

Love, Connect and Share

Love, Connect, and Share .... This is basically the motto that my church has. I am very blessed to go to a church that realized the importance of not only loving one another as Jesus has loved us -but also the importance of us as Christians connecting with one another. I go to a pretty large church - it has 3 services - early service, a young adult service, and 3rd service. Anyone is welcome at any of these services. With it being such a large church it might feel a little overwhelming to someone coming into the church to get to know people - but this is another area that my church is shining in - we have many different Sabbath School and many of them are discussion type Sabbath Schools. These are smaller groups of people so you can get to know your class mates. Not only are there Sabbath schools - but there are many small groups. Participating in these small groups gives you another way to get to know people. Sharing is also very important to our church. There are many different ministries in our church - I will only be sharing about 2 of them that I participate in. We have a big food pantry once a month- For November - we served about 240 families and about 750 people. We always have a good amount of people show up to volunteer to serve our community. And we even have people in our community that show up to help that are not members of our church, but they want to help and they are included as well. We also have a special food pantry that is specially geared to people in the community that are 55 and older. This program is also once a month. There are programs in our church that provide water for the homeless during the summer and sleeping bags and coats and such during the winter. I think as we study the life of Jesus we will realize that it was very important to him as well to love, connect, and share with his fellow man. I am thankful that God lead me to my church about 1 1/2 years ago- the time has flown by. I am blessed by sermons that uplift Jesus and encourages us along our spiritual journey so get better acquainted with Jesus. A personal relationship with Him is very important.
