Birth of an idea
Mandy has challenged me to read through the new testament with her and I have started several times. I find myself thinking every time I start in Matthew, How many times have I read this, do genealogies really matter, does it count if I skim... After several failed attempts, I have decided to raise the bar and have a little accountability as well. I plan to post a section of scripture daily which will consist of 3-5 chapters and my prayer is that Mandy and I will find something new or old in a different light that will help us to see God more clearly. I plan to for this to be a place for me to share what God has been doing and my hopes are that others may be encouraged and like to take a dive with us :).

This is awesome, Scott! Looking forward to seeing how God speaks to you through this. :)
ReplyDelete've been saying that I would read through the gospels for several years now, and within the last 6 months God has confirmed that this is his desire for me over and over. Even this morning, reading the heart&home with our sunday school class, I read "Have you been in a state of “unpeace” lately? Could it be that like Jonah, that you have been resistant to God?" and immediately I rejoiced that Scott had started this blog last night.
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful for a husband who wants to help me stop making excuses and accomplish this calling to meet Jesus the man again, with new eyes and perspective.
I've been thinking of this experience as sort of like taking a personality test and comparing my results with a friend. I wonder what Jesus would get on the Myers Briggs and if we are compatible ;) Anyways I have high expectations to do more than rote reading (which is probably why I've started and stopped discouraged so many times). I am positive that this will be a transformational experience and I hope some of our friends will join in with us.
this is great! i am going to dive with y'all!
