Pressing toward the goal. That’s the title of this week’s Create in Me a Clean Heart Devotion by Amy Verlennich [download your free copy here]. I had attended a group Bible study just yesterday where we are going through an intense, 10-lesson teaching from First Fruits of Zion called HaYesod. It talked about Torah points us to the end goal – Messiah. So this devotion today was very timely. What is… Continue Reading
Strength! – Clean Heart Journal Week 12
The title of this week’s devotional threw me, again. “Strength to Bring Down the House” brought to mind Proverbs 14:1 – A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. As I kept reading, I realized I was wrong…but oh how appropriate this devotional was this morning! If you aren’t familiar with the story of Samson, read it here. Samson cried out to… Continue Reading

I got tired of lugging… Continue Reading
Balance, Martha, Balance – Clean Heart Journal – Week 10
The title of this week’s devotional is Do YOU Need a “Time Out”? So naturally, I thought it would deal with grown-up temper tantrums. That’s not quite what it was about though. And the take-away for me was about balance. [Want to join in on the Create in Me a Clean Heart Devotional and Journal?

A Beautiful Dwelling Place – The Heart and Home Connection
I have to confess that I dropped the ball last week with this series. Life just happened, and I didn’t get my weekly journal entry posted – because I didn’t do the devotional. Honestly, I can’t even remember what happened, it just didn’t get done. This whole Being More Disciplined thing isn’t easy sometimes. It goes against my “natural tendencies,” it seems.
