My name is Kristen Gillette Thomas and I am thrilled that you are sharing this journey with me. I am a late twenty-something [or was when I started this blog], still learning who I am and what it is I want to do with my life. I am not a writer and celebrated when I finished English 1102 and knew I would never have to take an English course again. I have an education in Child and Family Development and am currently studying for my Master’s of Social Work. I have worked in social services, property management and prevention. Needless to say, I have worked with and for all kinds of kinds. I love people. Don’t get me wrong, I can be quite the introvert when I am not forced otherwise; but people really are my passion.
That brings me to my main focus in this entire blog: Jesus. I love the way he loves people. His time on earth was loaded with accepting, forgiving, teaching, and comforting people. Just loving them. And He continues to do so every day, in every life. I have known Jesus for most of my life, but feel I have only scratched the surface of who He is. I have experienced His love time and time again poured out on me. I am so undeserving; but He continues to show grace and mercy. This content is just as much for me as it is for you. I want to know Him so much more closely. How will we do that? Digging in his love letter written to us, His children, called the Holy Bible.
So now we will finally get to my purpose behind all of this.. the material. I enjoy studying scripture in small pieces. I believe God speaks several messages within the same passages. He reveals new things to me all the time in some of the same stories or ‘memory verses’ that I have known for years. The purpose of this blog is to take scripture and study and analyze it with you. One of my favorite times to study the Word is in the morning, coffee in hand. So, I decided to create a space that you could go to study a little piece of scripture during your morning cup of coffee and ponder what He speaks to you as you walk out your day.
Thank you again for being part of this. I love you, and so does our awesome Jesus.
Morning Joy
