There's been a lot to not like about 2020, but I've had several things that have brought me joy this year too. They're simple things, like robes or books I've read. Or even simple routines I've added that have made a significant difference for me this year. So, I wanted to share them! No affiliate [...]
This is it! Our last month of 2020. Think of all we've made it through this year, and your persistence to continue turning to God's Word each day. Even though this is the advent season, reading the Bible in a year leads us to a very different place in Scripture. We're nearing the end of [...]
Isn't hope fulfilled a beautiful thing? We've been living through a year of darkness, isolation, and waiting in many ways, so coming to the fulfillment of God's promise in Jesus has been so sweet. I hope you've enjoyed these gospels as we move from summer into fall, and we'll continue to look at Jesus's life [...]
This month hasn't started so great for me. See: What does it feel like to have shingles on your face? Let me tell you. So I'm a little late getting this month's reading plan up. But if you're like me, that's no problem because you're probably a few days behind anyway. No worries! But you [...]
Honest update here: I'm stumbling through the reading plan right now. I'm reading what was assigned for early July at this point, and I'm hoping I'll be able to catch back up by doubling my reading once school starts. (Ha, school starting! What's that?) It is a nice reminder, though, to see how much God [...]
You guys, we've done it. We've been reading through the Bible for six months now. We're halfway through. How does that make you feel? I have to admit: I'm proud of myself for sticking with it. It's something I haven't done before. And it's time. Related: How to read the Bible chronologically in a year...with [...]
Hey, mamas. How are you holding up with the quarantine? I hope you're feeling fed emotionally and spiritually right now. Not normally a morning person, I've started a new habit of waking up early (for me, haha, my husband would roll his eyes) and going out to our back porch to do my daily readings [...]
Hi, friends. What a month, right? We have never lived through a time like this, and it's kind of rocking our world. How about you? When the coronavirus quarantine first began (for us, 4 weeks ago when my youngest's special needs preschool program closed), we were meeting it with great enthusiasm. It was cold outside, [...]
I had a revelation this month. Reading the Bible in a year can be so challenging because Leviticus and February hit at the same time. Reading these lists of laws can be monotonous, especially in the dark days of winter. But I was convicted this week by a verse in Nehemiah: "So Ezra the priest brought the [...]
So, the thing is...I don't actually know how to read the Bible in a year with my kid. I've never done it before. But my 9 year old asked if we could try this year, so we're going to. And I thought I'd share my thoughts along the way. We also have a free Bible-in-a-year [...]
