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 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

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

"That all God is asking is for us to abide it him! To stay close to him." – Maria Bush | New Beginnings

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

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 your intimacy with God deepened as a result of journalizing?

"My intimacy with the Lord always deepens during a VI class. This class took place during one of the busiest seasons of my life and God was so faithful to show up even when I struggled to show up daily. He gave me a Word, phrase or thought for the week each week that set the tone for the trials he knew I would face that week. It helped me be vigilant of the enemy's attacks and to know the weapons I could use to defeat him." – Rachel Bishop | Miracle in the Mirror

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

"We were all open, honest and transparent in our sharing and journals. Any time a group of believers are able to do this, God happens. The Holy Spirit moves in everyone's lives. It brings down barriers, breaks down walls. I have experienced this for years in Celebrate Recovery Small Groups. There is no better community and relationship than when we can be real with one another, sharing our pain and our victories. " – Connie Fahey | Miracle In The Mirror

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?

In Luke 13:10-17, Jesus healed the handicapped woman.  In verses 10-13, the Bible says, ”Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath, And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.  But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, ‘Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.’  And He...

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.
