The Imperfect Sojourner

Hi There! Lisa here. The Imperfect Sojourner. I figured it was probably time I properly introduced myself! I'm a wife and mother in my thirties from the beautiful green island of Ireland. I'm 12 years married to Mr. Sojourner and together we have two Little Sojourners. I enjoy time with my little family; we are total homebodies so for us our favourite things to do together are local walks, exploring, out for chats coffees and pastries, singing our favourite songs, getting on the floor around a puzzle, reading books or colouring pictures together, cooking our favourite food and watching a movie and we also love time catching up with our wider family and friends. Personally, I don't get a lot of 'me' time in this season of life so my dream hobbies are mostly on hold!

Other translations say "does not stumble on account of me" or "do not turn away because of me" Here Jesus is talking to the disciples of John the Baptist who have come to see if He really is doing all the things they have heard. Initially it looks l...

This coming Monday; 7th January 2019, I am starting to read the Bible from front cover to back cover in 6 months with friends. Some of you are reading along with this plan also. I'm so excited for what The Lord will do in our hearts as we immerse ourselves in his Word in context and in volume. Follow along daily on Facebook where each morning the readings for that day will be posted. I said in the introduction to The I mperfect Sojourner  "How we sojourn is important. For the Christ follower we are to be made in to His likeness... He wants us to know His heart and His Plans and to become in His likeness!" To walk like this out we need to be in The Word daily. However we also have to have an approach to the Word that is correct or else this is just another religious exercise! We must view this as relational at the very core and remind ourselves we are getting to know a person through our reading. We need a heart that is open to the lessons in the Word and to it...
