Life doesn’t go as planned quite a lot, and so we just have to act like we know what we are doing. The best thing about all this is that though we are caught off guard, God is not. We may have to improvise, but He never does. And I don’t know about you, but I would love some insight from God so I could just be prepared for all things… One day we were out shopping, and we got to the parking lot of the last store, and all of a sudden our truck would no longer go. This, of cours

Sometimes we get so set in our routine that we just start making our Bible study time a box to check off. But really, this time is more about connection. Like you, I still want to study more and can feel stuck, intimidated, and maybe inconsistent where I’m at in my studies. So don’t feel alone in that.

Today we are talking about Our First Love — God , and we are going to discuss how Advent helps us to slow down and remember why our love for God began.
