The Start of Something New
Hi friends! My name is Christy Duff and I have an un-ending, unquenchable passion for Jesus! I have seen the way that a daily dose of His Word has changed my life, and I know that it can change, bless, and impact every one of us, every day that we live, regardless of the circumstances we may face.
Those of you who know me know that I’m in a little bit of a different season in my life right now. I’ve been married to my darling husband, Jason Duff, for 23 years and we’ve been doing non-stop ministry for our whole married life. About a year ago, I got diagnosed with a bunch of auto-immune disorders (like the rest of the world, right?) and none of them are too dramatic… BUT along with them came an anaphylactic-type-allergy to the very place we’ve lived and ministered in for almost nine beautiful years! Suddenly, I’m living 2 ½ hours away from the church I love, and my poor, sweet husband is having to drive eight hours a week to go back and forth from our house to the church.
Believe me when I say that I know that God is still on His mighty and glorious throne! No doubting going on over in my new little world! I love Jesus with all I am, and I trust Him implicitly, even in the moments where I feel a bit confused. Jesus has never failed us and He’s not about to start! He has good plans for us even in this growing and stretching time. While I have no lack of faith, I must confess that I do have sorrow as I think of all the beautiful faces of the women at our church. I’ve loved every minute that I’ve had the privilege to lead women’s ministry at every church we’ve been a part of, and as I was missing that especially one day, God gave me the idea to start a podcast and a blog.
I’m not sure if people still do that… it seems like I’m a little late for the early- 2000’s train that left the station a while ago… And I also have no idea how to do much of this at all. But here’s what I do know- God put this on my heart, so what can we do but move forward in what He calls us to, right?
I’m grateful for Debbi Bryson, my friend who turned me onto Tyndale’s One Year Bible, and I’m on my 23rd journey through it this year! I know that specific format isn’t for everyone, and you don’t have to read the One Year Bible to be a part of what we’re doing over here. This is just a place where I feel God wants me to share what He’s putting on my heart through His Word, and I hope that you’ll feel blessed and loved by Jesus every time you pop into this place, regardless of where you’re at in your walk with Him, or how you read His Word.
So…I guess this is me launching some type of blog thing, so here we go!
