November 13 As we read God's words, we begin to see how God
MNO (Mom’s Night Out) responds to things. Doing daily devotions re-patterns
the way we think and transforms the spirit of the
mind. Then when we face similar situations as Jesus
November 17 did, we begin to respond in the same way.
Simple Traditions Journaling is an excellent way to both record
and process what God has spoken to us. It's
also a useful tool to use at a later time, to reflect on
December 4 and review some of the 'gems' that you have re-
Christmas at the ceived. Without writing them down, you may forget
Murano (Ladies Event) those blessings and some very important lessons!
And while journaling is a very personal time with the
Lord, you may want to share some of your
daily journaling with your small group or
k i ng
mentors. Through discussion, you may be able to
in chec lli
look deeper into what God is speaking to you, gain ested m Ke
new insight and even encourage others. Inter ore fro ck out

It's not important when you do your devotions, but w ww.p
that you make it a very important part of your day.
For morning people, it's a great way to start your
day. For others, it's 20-minute lunchtime appoint-
ments with Jesus. For the night owls, it's the final act
Happy Birthday of the day, the time to quiet their hearts and hear
God's voice. www.enewhope.org
