Hello, my friends!

Well, I feel like a marathon runner who trips and falls the last quarter mile of the race.  But, what do you do when you fall?  You get back up.  You start again. I have had to restart many times this year. I have been reading, and I hope you have been, too. I would love to say that I will finish strong with lots of commentary, but, well… the holidays…  I do have a few words to share in the next few days. I hope this will give you encouragement during this hectic, but wonderful, Christmas season.

Do you, too, feel like you are limping across the finish line? No worries!  The point is to finish.  You may have missed some days, but for the most part, you can know you have read through the Bible in 2022!  So, who’s up for a repeat in 2023???

Love to you all and so very thankful you were willing to take this journey with me!

Blessings to you and Merry Christmas!

Hello, my friends!

I hope you are still with me on this!  We only have three more months and we will have read through the entire Bible.  Even if you have gotten off track (as I have this month!) just start back reading!  This is not a challenge to win or lose.  No matter how much you actually read, you will benefit from the living Word–for God’s Word will not return void, but will accomplish that for which it is sent.  So hang in there!  And I will, too!

Blessings to you all!

Sara

Hey, Friends!  I hope you are pressing forward.  I just had a catch-up session, listening to my Bible app, on the way home from Florida.  School is starting back and it is time for me to get back into a regular routine of digging deeper, not just reading.  I hope you will continue to join me!  This month we will finish 2 Chronicles and press on through Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Job.  Lots of interesting and inspirational stuff to learn!  Blessings to you!

Hello, Friends!  We are officially halfway through reading the whole Bible.  Keep going!  Hopefully by now, this has become a habit.  But if not, keep trying.  Just pick up where you left off.  God’s Word does not return void and it will accomplish that for which it was sent in each of our lives.  (Isaiah 55:11)

As we celebrate this Independence Day, we rejoice in the freedom we have to read God’s Word openly and freely.  Most of all, we rejoice in the freedom our spirits receive through relationship with Jesus.  He whom the Son sets free is free indeed!  (John 8:36)
