Advent with Writer and Friend, Sarah Sandel

Advent started on Nov. 29th of this year. However, when Sarah Sandel wrote her book called, Advent, in 2019, it started on December 1st, 2019. So this year as we dive into the same book she wrote last year, we will start on Dec. 1, 2020, because that is how the calendar is written in her book, so here we go!

Let's read Advent together (if you'd like to) and I look forward to hearing how it goes for everyone.

Let's keep Sarah Sandel's Instagram as our hub for communication and do this reading together.

Let Sarah know how God is working on your heart through reading... If you want...  @stsandel and we also have a podcast Instagram @broadcasthislove.

Let us know how God is working on your heart through reading her book in this season if you decide to do so. Having a community is so special, so know you have one here. :)

She talks about Psalm 61:1-2 which says: "Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I"

She also talks about Isaiah 9:2 "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned."

She reads Psalm 16:6-9 which says: "The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,"

And she also shares her love for Colossians 1:15-20 how this scripture has held her this year. "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross."
