Promised Land Living

This last year I did a study called 'One in a Million' by Priscilla Shirer - I would highly recommend this study to anyone wanting to study the old testament and learn about the journey the Israelites took from Egypt to Canaan. Not only did I learn a lot about the history, but also learned a lot about the character of God and the fullness of what He offers us as His children. I also loved learning about wilderness seasons and understanding more why God lovingly takes us through them, and understanding more about my own heart and fear of the wilderness! 
At the end of the book she has a list called 'Promised Land Living,' so while on vacation this summer I decided to study these and really pray that I would expect and desire to get more out of my relationship with the Lord! 

As John and I studied through this list, we were both convicted of places where we settle for less, and encouraged in how loving Christ is that He would offer so much for us! Here is the list, well worth studying and praying to desire these things!
