Week number 2

Our second week is upon us, and I trust that you are enjoying your time in God's Word.  I personally have really enjoyed the schedule. In the past, I have felt rushed and pressured to read to check off a list, but because this reading schedule is lighter than I am used to, I have enjoyed digging deeper.  I feel like a student again, and I love it. Most days, you can find me with a great spread of materials in front of me as I dive in.  I am journaling and color-coding in my new ESV journaling Bible (I love having a clean slate!)  To my left is my NKJV John MacArthur study Bible, to my right are my materials and books for looking up the names of God in context, and spread out somewhere else in front of me are my computer and colored pencils.  It has just been an exciting journey for me so far.  Thank you for your part in that!

How does your "space" look?  Do you have coffee in hand and your feet propped up?  Are you at a desk?  Are you cozy or decked out for the day?  Do you have toddlers hanging on your legs, begging to be held?  However it looks, I trust that God is teaching you much and that you are excited about what He has in store for you this year.


Days 8 - 14 

Day 8 - Genesis 10-11
Day 9 - Genesis 12
Day 10 - Genesis 13-14
Day 11 - Genesis 15
Day 12 - Genesis 16-17
Day 13 - Genesis 18
Day 14 - Flex day (catch up, dig deeper, etc.)

I am hoping to soon have the entire schedule available for you to download so you don't have to come here multiple times in the week.

Happy growing!
💗 - Michelle

Let's Get Started!

So many distractions clamor for our attention.  Many of them are good things: children, spouses, ministry, friends, work, shopping, laundry, meal prep, and housework.  Other things, like social media and Netflix also cry out for our coveted time. Our hearts and minds find themselves in a perpetual rat race of chaos with God squeezed in at a quick mealtime prayer.  We may sit down to read His Word but battle the onslaught of the dreaded "to do" list in our minds.  I want more.  I want to dig deeper.  I want my thirsty soul to drink up the satisfying refreshment of Scripture.  Amidst the chaos, I want to retreat into sweet communion with my Abba Father.  I want to grow in my knowledge of Him so when trials come, I can trust.  I want to know His names.  I want to marvel in His power and majesty.  I want to rest in His care and comfort.  I want to "be still and know." I am planning to read through the Bible chr...

Genesis 4-5 Sin.😢 Sin.😢 Sin.😢 BUT Enoch! 😊

I am color coding as I read through the Bible this year.  Orange is for underlining sin and it's consequences.  Pink is for righteous living and its blessings.  Let me tell you, I'm seeing lots of orange right now.  It's a pretty depressing picture.  Man wasted no time in completely messing up God's perfect paradise, His glorious creation,  His peace, harmony, and communion. First Eve disobeyed and then Adam.  Quickly following in their footsteps, Cain rebelled against God.  We see how his sin begat more sin, which begat even more sin, which brought grave consequences for Cain.  Lamech took two wives.  Lamech killed a man.  Then, in chapter 5, we see death: "...and he died...and he died...and he died..." Orange. Orange. Orange. Quite a bleak picture. But then --- a tiny bit of pink.  A ray of light.  ENOCH.  Chapter 5 verses 22 and 24, "Enoch walked with God."  My heart yearns for this:  in a world of or...

Genesis 16 - EL ROI

El Roi - The God Who Sees; The God Who Watches Over Me I love this name of God.  I love what I learn about God when I dig into chapter 16.  He is an all-seeing God.  This isn't in the context of "Hey, if you do something wrong, He's right there watching so beware!"  This is, "Hey, don't worry, don't fret, don't fear.  You are not alone.  GOD, the Creator of all; GOD, the Almighty; GOD, the I AM; GOD, the Master ---  That very GOD is watching over you .  He is caring for you .  He is there."  How comforting!  How humbling!  Who am I, that such a GOD should care for me? Hagar was in the wilderness, upset, alone, and so very needy.  I am sure she was scared and full of questions about her future.  Her mistress despised her and things were so very difficult.  How could she survive in that environment?  She had been used and cast aside.  Did anyone even care?  Oh, yes!  El Roi!  The God Wh...
