David Powlison is a great counselor from CCEF (Christian Counseling Education Foundation). I've gotten so much out of the resources and materials and help from that foundation. I'm confident about what God is doing through them.

Please take the time to view this clip. And if you were wondering where were my continued blog posts regarding my dating series, don't worry. I'm working on my next interview with a married Christian couple!

Experiencing God by Henry & Richard Blackaby, Claude King

I'm currently in a bible study based on the book "Experiencing God." So far, it's pretty good. It helps you study and meditate through some key information in the bible so you can know and do the will of God.

There's a helpful diagram this study touches on the whole time. Unfortunately, you'll have to miss out on the AWESOME stick figures drawn out in this book. But, I will list the 7 "Experiencing God" guide points to follow.

1. God is always at work around you.

2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.

3. God invites you to become involved with Him in His work.

4. God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His ways.

5. God's invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.

6. You must make major adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.

7. You come to know God by experience as you obey Him, and He accomplishes His work through you.
