Hi, my name is Josh Dubland. The current sermon series at NSA with regards to "cultivating life" has spurred me to take a step back from my business and think about God's impact and influence my daily activities.
Recently I filled in the commitment card at church, committing to set apart a certain amount of time each week reading God's word and praying. I want to place a greater importance on this area, so that it is not just something I do but time that I become spiritually refreshed and renewed. In this way I feel I will be able to incorporate more of a "what would Jesus do/say" into all the situations presented to me at work and other activities during the day.
I have also been blessed be able to be a part of a home group at NSA over the last few years. This fall our group is studying the concept of the Sabbath and how we can incorporate this into our lives and find a greater connection to God and his purpose for us. This is a valuable avenue for me to gather information from the study material and also from other people in the group about cultivating life.
I feel God has much to teach me this fall season and it is my desire to commit to spending more time in God's word and praying.
