    Episode 22, Jane Harris - Connecting With God

    "Meditation" — Every time I hear my Mama, Jane Harris, say that word it makes me want to know more about what she means by this. I've gathered my questions and we sat down to have a conversation about meditation and its impact on how we spend time with God. Incidentally, this is her birthday weekend and her life's Scripture is Psalm 27:4, "One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple." I hope you will be as encouraged as I am after listening to this. I'd love to let you know when my children's book, You Can See Him, Little Eyes Looking at a Big God, is available. Visit ⁠annanash.net⁠ to be notified. The scriptures we mention: Psalm 27:4 (NASB) "One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple." Psalm 1:2,3 (ESV) ...but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. Isaiah 26:3 (ESV) You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Romans 10:17 (NKJ) So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Psalm 119:165 (NIV) Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

    Episode 21 - May Your Soul Feel Worthy This Christmas

    I'm really excited to share this Christmas Message with you—it's all about the incredible depth of the heartfelt message from God to us through His Son, Jesus. As I speak about Jesus being the ultimate representation of God's love, forgiveness, and hope, it's truly impactful to realize these teachings don't just apply in our darkest moments but also in our everyday lives. Just like those timeless Christmas carols that touch our hearts, reminding us of our value and the promise of peace, these truths resonate deeply with the warmth and hope of the season...that is Jesus, our Savior. HERE is the copy of Christmas in the book of Hebrews that I mentioned. Please print it out and be encouraged reading more about Jesus being the ultimate connection between God and people. Bible Verses in today's Christmas message: John 1:1-5 Hebrews 1:3 Personal Processing Questions: How can you actively seek and recognize Jesus' heartfelt messages of love, forgiveness, and hope in your daily life? Seek to remember that Jesus embodies God's ultimate message to you. In what ways can you draw strength and guidance from Jesus' teachings during challenging times, allowing his message of light in darkness to impact your thoughts and actions? Reflecting on the promise of peace and reconciliation highlighted in Christmas carols, how can you contribute to fostering peace and extending forgiveness in your relationships and communities this holiday season? P.S. A couple of years ago my dear friend Katy Shelton and I wrote an Advent Devotional called Christmas Matters. You can go HERE to order it.

    I recently engaged in a heartfelt conversation with a close friend and precious believer in Jesus, D'Anna Lundstrom, who graciously shared her sacred encounters and wisdom about how she spends time with God. D'Anna's journey with God is guided by two words: desperation and dependence, propelling her to devote meaningful moments in solitude with God. Her sincere humility permeates her voice and her enthusiasm for Scripture and prayer shines brightly. You'll see evidence through her social media posts adorned with verses, sunsets, and butterflies. D'Anna embraces diverse approaches in her solitary moments with God using prayer, studying the Bible, worship, journaling, and communing with Him in nature. Let's embark on a journey into the captivating depths of D'Anna's inspiring testimony and, God willing, unearth how each of us can dig a little deeper as we connect with Him.

    It seems that many of us have been and still find ourselves in tough seasons of life. In the world it is common to struggle almost daily to believe the truth that we know about and read in God's Word. I've wrestled with God, begging Him to give me relief in certain areas of my life that I do not want to accept. I can't help but think you can relate. In this episode listen as I share from a very personal time with God how He showed me a new way to live. After Listening: Here's an opportunity to personally look into your own soul with God, according to His Word, for a heart adjustment. Remember who you are as God's child. (Ezekiel 36:25-29) Repent in a prayer turning back to God acknowledging your need for Him. (Psalm51:10-12) Realign your thoughts according to the promises of God. (Psalm 86:11) Find truth and put it on repeat in your head! Rejoice as you feel His Spirit take over. (Psalm 16:8, 9)

    Recently my husband, Tyler and I found ourselves in a very unexpected situation as we became trapped in Bangkok, Thailand. Literally, everything felt completely out of control for us. We wanted and needed to be back home for so many reasons. Listen as I share the story and how God showed me His purposes in this crazy moment in time. My prayer is that we can trust Him and surrender our lives even when it doesn't make sense at all. After listening, consider spending some time with God in the quiet as you process and pray through your own challenges. 3 Things to do when you find yourself confused and helpless: 1. Ask God to show you His purposes in your current situation. (Psalm 57:2) 2. Stay in the Word of God. (Psalm 119:105) 3. Remember that you cannot do this in your own strength and pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to enable you. (Romans 8:5) Lord willing, writing out the above verses will anchor your soul in a deeper way. Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3
