It’s All From Jesus: A Bible Verse Study
Last Sunday, I started reading through Ephesians, and one thing I noticed in the preface to the book in my study Bible was the mention of the words “in Him” or “in Christ” in the book. And, since I absolutely love discovering (or rediscovering!) patterns in the Bible, I though it would be fun to copy all the instances out. They were a great encouragement to me to meditate on this week, and perhaps they will be to you, too.
Due to the amount of verses (I just counted up, and there are 33 references!), I’ve limited the quotations to just the ones dealing specifically with our relationship with Christ.
There’s still a lot, though. 🙂
“…blessed us with all spiritual blessings…in Christ…” (Eph. 1:3)
Thank You for the Valley…
A song that has encouraged me often over the years. I was just singing it the other day, and realized I hadn’t listened to it in a long time! He is so good to us! Trust in Him!

Tasmania 2019: My Favorite Month (so far) This Year
Early this year, I was incredibly blessed to have been given the chance to go with a friend, Truly, to visit some friends of hers in a little community in the northwestern corner of Tasmania. We landed on January 1st, and the next two weeks were some of the most stretching, yet most enjoyable weeks I’ve had in a while!
It’s a different feeling to know you’re walking into a situation where you’ll have to get to know a bunch of new people all at once…and then proceed to live with them for the next few weeks! For me, an introverted homebody that loves to have plenty of “me” time with little other interaction, the idea was a bit stressful. (Please tell me I’m not the only one!)
But as soon as I got there, I started to feel at home.
