February 21st and 22nd
Rough. I did not read yesterday but I did read today. I started to read Isaiah in a bible reading plan and I loved it. It's called reading though the Bible in 90 days though and I'm a little nervous about that challenge along with school, so I'm not sure that is the best idea for me. I do want to find a good plan to read through. I'm thinking about what study books I would want to go through or what book of the bible I may go through. For today Isaiah was a beautiful book to read. :) There are a a lot of verses that I struggled with as I remembered learning them when I was younger. I love those little blessings of my day.

May I be honest with you? I did not read Jonah 4 last night, although I did have small group and looked up scripture with my students and then went to vespers where I love the message Gavin gave. The scripture passages he used were an evident part of my life that I need to work on.
Tonight I DID read Jonah 4. I feel like Jonah. My life isn't bad bu sometimes I wish God would do wtih others as he does with me. That they would be challenged and grow through their difficulty.
But you see, I told my group of high schoolers on Sunday that the only person you can change is yourself. Why is that? Well let me tell you that change doesn't come easy, but peace in Christ is easy to seek. I am the one who needs a heart check before I can even think about correcting others.

On Monday the 17th I read Matthew 6:25-34. I needed to look this up and read it before my test. God called me to spend time with him about studying for a test. What a blessing it was to hear Him demand my time. I love that God wants to spend time with me. :)
Tuesday I read Genesis 2 from a love devotional I am reading with my youth group. I also spent time in prayer and searching with my roommate. God brought new things to my life that I was not aware needed to be discussed but am so thankful for the continued growth in Him.
Tonight I read Jonah 4. Taking time with God is important. The past two days feel in my lap and I've been blessed by that...I now will go spend time with God before bed. :)
The Lord is good, For His Love Never Ever Ends

Feb 15 & 16
Last night I finished writing a sermon and didn't read...but did look up bible verse for my sermon and dwelled on them.
Tonight I gave my sermon and also read Jonah 3. Spending time with God is such a beautiful gift and I love sharing that with you my readers (wherever and whoever you are). ;) Be blessed tonight.

Happy Valentines day to ya'll. Today I read Jonah 2. Supa short and supa good. God made the whale spit Jonah out as Jonah had realized what he had done wrong with God...it's was AWESOME cuz I then immediately thought of Mary Rice Hopkins song "Whale of a tale".
Love my kid songs. :)

February 9th
Tonight I finished 1 Corinthians 15. As I thought about blogging I realized that I have merely been putting down that I have read...but this gives hardly any insight as to what my time with God looked like. Was it genuine? Short? Essential?
Through all of these things and more I know that I sometimes can go deeper, or that I don't want to share publicly what my time with God looked like. Sometimes it is perfect just having that time with God and I know that I also must give my Father what He deserves.
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
1 Corinthians 15:58

February 8th
Tonight I read 1 Cornthians 15:1-41. I had a lot to digest (biblically) tonight and really enjoyed asking questions and thinking hard. It is this that will cause me to be a person in Christ that I am supposed to be. I will praise God in the big and small moments. To night I simply praise him for sending His Son to die for me (and you)!

Day 6 and 7
I've been very honest with you and will continue to be.
I did not read on the 6th but I did finish 1 Corinthians 14 yesterday. It was really nice and I need that time with God. :)

Honestly I share with you 4&5
Okay so here's what my week reading the Bible has been like...I am reading 1 Corinthians 14. Like I'm actually in the middle of it right now. I can't seem to focus on one thing tonight so I'm on verse 15.
I didn't read yesterday and was bad about reading on Sunday/Monday (even though I posted). My life is a bit chaotic but it's extremely necessary for me to spend time with God. Not out of obligation, but out of desire.
I choose to be grateful For His Love Never Ever Ends...even when I'm stressed and think I'm doing everything wrong. God's got my back.

Jan 31st, Feb 1st and the 2nd
I'll be honest with you readers, I didn't read on January 31st. It was weird not to read either. I spent the day with my sweet friend Laura and came back late that night (way before curfew but enough where I needed sleep).
I did read 1 Corinthians 11 last night before bed though. It's a beautiful thing for me to read before bed. It helps me relax and truly spend time with my Heavenly Father.
While I am working on a homework assignment I think about how I need to go to bed, but how important it is to have my quiet time. I am going to unwind and read 1 Corinthians 12.
Did you spend time with God today? It's a blessing when you do. :)
