February Accomplishments:
- Wrote a post recommending 'activities' for Lent
- February's Scripture Chain is inspired by the hymn "Love Lifted Me."
- Continued journaling, which may not seem like an accomplishment, but as Mark Twain wrote, starting a journal is the easy part, sticking with it and 'finishing' it is near to impossible.
- Created a "Live Like You're Loved" playlist; I'm contemplating hosting a "Live Like You're Loved" event/challenge, maybe for the month of April?! Let me know if you'd be interested in hearing more about this. Video Link: Official Lyric Video, Hawk Nelson's Live Like You're Loved.
- Discovered the Gentle Reformation blog.

Christ’s commitment to his people does not depend on our capacity to remember, but on God’s capacity to sustain us and preserve us. It depends on a covenant that has been engraved in flesh and confirmed in blood. ~ Daniel Montgomery and Timothy Paul Jones, Proof
Dedication is not something you talk about; dedication to Christ is something you reveal. It will be manifested in your life. If your eye is upon Him, then His beauty will be reflected in you. ~ J. Vernon McGee, Song of Solomon© Becky Laney of Operation Actually Read Bible
