Monday Mission - Prayer

Prayer…How often do we stop and talk to God? Is it just a quick request or do we take time to really spend intimate time with God? The Shema prayer, in Deuteronomy 6:4-5, is one of the most famous prayers in the Bible. “Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one. And as for you, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”

Monday Mission - Be You

In the post linked below, author Rick Warren does an amazing job of helping to bring about understanding around the subject of God's creation of "YOU".

You know what, He did this for you too! How incredible is this?

Monday Mission - Beauty in Every Season

Does this image look like what you've been facing lately? For many of us in the Midwest we've literally been facing lots of snow covered roads this winter. Straining our eyes to find the road or looking for a car ahead to show us the way. Wishing our tires were gripping a little tighter to the pavement but prevented by the barrier of ice and snow.

Monday Mission - God, Lead Me

Recently I was reminded from a daily devotion when I am anxious or lost to go to God. Here is a verse that helped me in my anxiousness: Psalms 139:23-24
