I love this scripture. I did a lot of study on it

I love this scripture. I did a lot of study on it when I wrote A Mary Like Me. The obvious question that stood out in my mind was why was she troubled by this amazing announcement of favor? I think the problem was in the word, "favor." This type of favor involved a change. When God favors you this way you are made different. Mary knew this message from Gabriel was going to be life changing even before he told her the rest of the story. She would never be the same. The verse before states that Gabriel came to Mary in the 6th month of Elizabeth's pregnancy. I really don't know which part of these verses bless me the most, which miracle is sweeter. I love Mary, but my heart is drawn to Elizabeth's miracle. What is your favorite part of today's scripture? What does this tell you about God? #Biblereadingplan #scripturewritingplan #biblejournaling #biblejournalingcommunity #christmasreadingplan #dailyverse #wednesdaymotivation

It's the season of worship of the Greatest miracle

It's the season of worship of the Greatest miracle our planet has ever experienced, the miracle of God becoming man. There He was, the Bread of Life wrapped in cloths lying in a manger in Bethlehem, the House of Bread. Jesus, the lamb of God, born in a shepherds' field with the other lambs both the Bread of Life and the Lamb of God, the Son of God and the Son of Man. My brain can't wrap itself around such theology, such hope, such humble magnificence. Come worship with me this week as we continue our 31 days of worship for this Christmas season. The link is in the bio if you want to grab the entire reading plan that contains the reading prompts to deepen your time with Him. He is so good, so worthy of our praise. What amazes you the most about the Christmas story? #Biblereadingplan #christmasreadingplan #advent #lambofgod #breadoflife #tuesdaymotivation #dailyverse

Day 3- Here’s the prompt: “Word” is “Logos.” The Greeks considered Logos the creator behind all things. John starts his gospel with Jesus as divinity while Matthew starts with his humanity which would you start a gospel with and why?

Day 2 of our reading plan of worship! Here's the prompt:
If your knees will allow, kneel in prayer today. When you finish, write down your experience.

I love to kneel before the Lord every morning. I can't say that every day is an amazing experience, but I do love bowing down in worship as His servant each day. #Verseoftheday #biblereadingplan #worship #jesusisthereasonfortheseason

I am so excited about this reading plan of worship

I am so excited about this reading plan of worship. Today, I sat down with the printable, my journal, and pen and read Day 1. "Lord, you are my God; I will extol you and praise you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things planned long ago" Isaiah 25:1. The question was: "What does this verse tell you about God?" It tells me so many good things. First, it tells me He is mine. I could stop right there. He. Is. Mine. He is perfect faithfulness. And He has a plan. Big sigh. I'm going to chew on these wonderful truths all day long. What does Day 1 tell you about God? What speaks to your soul? His Word brings heaven to us.

Do you hear His whisper? Can you feel His desire t

Do you hear His whisper? Can you feel His desire to spend time with you?

Worshiping Jesus is something we need to do always, but this season, the time we celebrate Jesus’s birth, is often so filled with activities that our quiet time suffers. Ironic, isn’t it? But it doesn’t have to be this way. We just need to be intentional. So, I’ve intentionally written a reading plan that can help stir your heart for the One who is the reason for the season.

In the past I’ve written Christmas posts on joy, worship, and the shepherds, but this year my heart has been drawn to two wrinkled skinned, perhaps hunched backed, older biblical characters who have become the inspiration for this year’s reading plan. They are Simeon and Ana.

When we think of Christmas, we think of angels and shepherds proclaiming Jesus’s birth, but two of my favorite people in the Christmas story aren’t usually included in the mix. They are Simeon and Ana. If you ever wonder if you’re too old or too hidden to ever be used by God, you need to study these two prophets.

Simeon was elderly.

But the Holy Spirit directed him to go to the Temple, and he obeyed.

Ana was old too. At eighty-four, the widowed Ana had spent most for her life worshiping and fasting night and day in the Temple.

Though their names don’t mark a book of the Bible like John or Matthew, and their fame during their lifetime was probably minimal, God knew them and used them. I love how He does that. Do you remember their story? It’s found in Luke 2 after the angels and shepherds and Christ’s birth. To read more about their role in the Christmas story the link is in my bio.

This month’s Bite of Bread reading plan I have made a ten page journal printable with the scriptures and a prompt for each day to help you dig further, meditate longer, and really soak in His Word.

God uses worshipers. That's what Simeon and Ana were. Studying the Bible is a form of worship. It doesn't get us to heaven, but studying His Word brings heaven to us. I hope you'll join me with the 31 Days of Worship Christmas reading plan. Link in bio! Come worship the reason for the season and bring heaven to earth.

All they say about being a grandparent is really true. We are so in love with this little boy. More pictures to come of our crazy ThanksChristmas celebration. Dropped pumpkin pies, inedible cookies, and frozen turkey on the morning it needed to go into the oven were a bit frustrating, but they only added to the crazy weekend memory. Dominoes, Black Friday shopping, and an engagement party celebrating Drew and Bethany made it one for the books. Now to recover and to get back into work mode! Happy Monday ya'll!

This definitely isn't your typical Thanksgiving Bi

This definitely isn't your typical Thanksgiving Bible reading plan, BUT they are such powerful scriptures to prepare our hearts for the week of serving others. I hope they stir your hearts. What would our holidays be like if we started each day asking the Lord how we can serve someone today? What a great thing to teach our children and grandchildren.
Sometimes that service is in our own families. Who will I bless today? Who will I give grace today? I'm praying for our hearts to be warmed, our bodies energized, and our minds filled with ideas of how we can use our blessing to bless others this Thanksgiving week.
Some of us will be overwhelmed with all the preparation serving our families with all we have. Deep breath. It doesn't have to be perfect. Pray for eternal vision of what's really important when we gather together and who we need to invite to join us.
You can grab the printable on the link to my website in bio. Happy Thanksgiving! Much love and grace to you all. #Biblereadingplan #mondaymotivation #morningmessage #thanksgiving #servingothers #giving
