As I embark on this new world of blogging, I welcome you to what will hopefully be a successful space for friendship, devotion, venting, reflection, whatever you might get from it.
For years I have struggled with getting the most out of the Bible. How do I begin to read it, what if I don't understand what I've read, how does the Word affect me in my daily life? I attended a couples Bible study a couple years ago and loved it, and have yet to rejoin a study at my church. So for the time being I am committed to diving into daily devotions at home and bought a book to try to help guide me through it.
What I hope to do with this blog is to set up a sort of daily or at least weekly reflection on my progress in a 52-week read of the Bible. With readers out there I am hoping to hold myself accountable to keep up and do the work. I am using a book called The Women's Devotional Guide to the Bible by Jean E. Syswerda. It uses a 5-day week to break down and guide you through the passages of the bible. (I'll get more into the ins and outs of the book later). And how you, my faith-filled friend, can help is by reading the same book along with me (an online book club of sorts), or by sharing your own comments or experiences with what I have blogged about.
So welcome readers! I invite you to send some prayers my way as I embark on this new experience.
