2020: Week 7
This week’s theme has been gratitude. Take a minute and think of five things for which you’re grateful. I don’t think it will be difficult to do. The first five things that came to my mind are eyesight, warm robes and blankets, relationships, shelter, and food. I know I cheated counting robes and blankets as one, but they’re working together to keep me warm right now, so I couldn’t pick between them. This week’s Bible reading brought me to the end of Exodus and a little more than halfway through Leviticus. While I am not proud to admit it, this is the part of the reading plan where in years…

2020: Week 6
If you’ve stuck with your New Year’s resolutions for these six weeks, let me be one of the first to say that I’m proud of you! We’re more than 10% through 2020, and I hope you’ve been able to see some growth. This week was a lot of fun. My Bible study group began our study on Jen Wilkin’s “Better,” which is an in-depth look into the book of Hebrews. We had our first week’s discussion Sunday night. The week had focused on Jesus being better than the angels. The author of Hebrews makes that argument in the first two chapters, so that was our focus Scriptures. At the same…

2020: Week 3
I feel like time passes quicker when you’re tracking it and that tracking it makes you more productive. I’ve accomplished much more in 21 days than I would have if I weren’t intentionally recapping them. Hopefully, you’re making good progress, too. Here are some of the past week’s highlights. God knows the world in ways we never will, and that’s a good thing. I finished up Job this week. Those last few chapters are powerful, and they leave me in awe of God as Creator. He knows intimately every process, function, and cycle of each being or thing on Earth, and that’s amazing. That’s a God worthy of praise and…

2020: Week 2
Hey, all! How has your week been? Meeting those goals? My week 2 was a strong one for the most part, but it was also challenging. I quickly realized my music theory skills are quite rusty; however, I did good on the quiz, so with some practice, I’m confident I can pick it back up. Here are some goal check-ins, as well as some revelations or moments of pause that I experienced throughout the week. I don’t get to dictate how someone else grieves or for how long. Job was struggling, and I think his friends were helping him most when they were sitting with him and letting him be.…

2020: Week 1
We made it through the first week of 2020. What have you accomplished? I don’t usually set New Year’s resolutions; however, I do practice goal setting. I often set a few for the beginning of the year and update them as my priorities change. A couple of my goals started on Jan. 1. In 2020, I want to read the NIV translation of the Bible chronologically and deepen my music theory knowledge. To read the Bible through, I’m following Tara-Leigh Cobble’s The Bible Recap plan and listening to the short podcast episodes associated with each day’s reading. The episodes are super helpful for digging deeper into God’s Word. I chose the NIV…
