What was the most life-changing revelation that you received?

"I'm the one who keeps placing myself in bondage. I have been given peace and freedom from God. He wants me to step out in faith to do his will, no matter the trials I face or have been through. Allowing the depression to stifle my walk with God is on me. He will free me from it, but I have to be willing to do as he calls me to do!" – Janelle Amperse | Miracle in the Mirror

What was the most life-changing revelation that you received during this course?

"Understanding the process of sanctification has been so impactful for me. I don't think I truly understood what that meant or what that looked like, but it's been so freeing to accept the fact that this is a lifelong process. Knowing that the Lord is actually pleased with my neediness and continual surrender, rather than that being a bad thing, like it is in the world's eyes, has also helped me to understand my identity as a new creation that struggles with the old habits." – Roxi Roberts | Reflections in Righteousness

How has the discipline and accountability you experienced enriched relationships and a sense of community?

"It showed me how much I miss my church community and serving. While I'm in Arizona visiting my folks, I don't usually attend church. I don't have a church here. Through this study, I found myself craving fellowship and community. I have since found a home church while I'm in Arizona and am going through the process of being cleared to volunteer when I'm here." – Janelle Amperse | Miracle in the Mirror

How has the discipline and accountability you experienced enriched relationships and a sense of community?

"The discipline and accountability is always beneficial. We are all expected to bring a journal and share our heartwork. It keeps you encouraged to keep the goal high but without condemnation." – Grace & William Bishop | Miracle in the Mirror

How has your intimacy with God deepened as a result of journalizing?

"Since beginning this class and daily journalizing, I have been hearing from God as he guides me into the truth of His Word. I have been able to understand and apply the scriptures as never before. The communication between me and the Lord has opened up and I feel alive again."  – Allen Kurtz | Miracle in the Mirror

How has your intimacy with God deepened as a result of journalizing?

"The more time you spend in relationship with God the more that relationship deepens, just like with any relationship. Getting to talk to God daily strengthens the intimacy and affirms that He is not distant and always with us. I desire more deeply to go directly to Gods word for truth, not from outside opinions or feelings." – Grace & William Bishop | Miracle in the Mirror

How has the discipline and accountability you experienced during this course enriched relationships and a sense of community?

"It is always such a blessing to build an intimate community during the studies. Ones that we can continued into the future. The accountability is such a blessing and as we are accountable to each other that encourages the discipline & habits to continue as we move on outside of the study. It is helpful to know we are all in it together & love each other with the love of Christ and desire the best for each other." – Ivy Graves | Hope and The Purple Onion

What was the most life-changing revelation that you received?

"Our feelings/flesh are misleading and ultimately you should seek the truth in God's word. We look to only please God and not to please man. Doing certain things because the world would deem it the "Christian" thing to do can sometimes be misleading, ironically enough." – Grace & William Bishop | Miracle in the Mirror

What was the most life-changing revelation that you received during this course?

"I think the most life-changing revelation that I have had during this course is that I am not becoming, but rather I am already exactly who He needs me to be. All that I have to do is to labor to enter into his presence to discover who I am. He is able to give his rest when I allow Him to work through me as me, since my spirit is joined with Him and I live FROM Him. " – Kennedy Reimer | Reflections in Righteousness 

How has your intimacy with God deepened as a result of journalizing?

"When I journalize, I'm drawn into a conversation with God. This helps me focus on him and what he is trying to say to me. I, in turn, can respond and have a dialogue with him. This is an amazing way to focus on what I am supposed to be doing daily in my walk with him and how I can serve others." – Janelle Amperse | Miracle in the Mirror

How has your intimacy with God deepened as a result of journalizing throughout this course?

"I love Visionwriters, because it does force me to pause. To pause and listen to God speak and I feel like through every course that intimacy just grows and grows. I also feel more intimate with God as I learn more about him through the course. There are truths that I've known about, but sometimes I've only scratched the surface and Visionwriters drives it home deeper. Or old lies I still believe, that Visionwriters gently correct and guide to new info." – Emily Koop | Reflections in Righteousness

How has the discipline and accountability you experienced during this course enriched relationships and a sense of community?

"How blessed I am to be able to grow closer in my walk with the Lord, and grow closer to my sisters in Christ. I have been able to share my Vision Writer's experience with some of the same ladies each time and also I get to build new relationships with those that I haven't done a course with before. The intimacy of sharing our journals and how God speaks to each one of us in different ways builds community at a deeper level."  – Dwynne Riegel | Reflections in Righteousness

 Shiloh Ranch opened its gates in 2007 with an overall goal of sharing the love that God has for us and  bringing a message of healing to those who walked down the drive.

Yesterday, Today, and Forever: By Cindy Sheern

On February 16th of this year I was reading Mark 2:21-22 [NIV] for my quiet time with the Lord. 21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new...
