Happy New Year to you!!!

As you are committing to a year of achievements, improvements, and better health, I hope you are including your emotional and spiritual well being too.  If you are, then here is an opportunity to get spiritually fit in community.

Reading through the Bible is a spiritual practice that can help shape our mindset and keep us deeply rooted throughout our entire lifetime. It can help us gain insight and wisdom, grow our faith and reveal the heart, character and ways of God. Reading and discussing the Holy Scriptures in community is a great gift and wonder. So let’s do this together ya’ll! Let’s let the most ancient, exciting and beautiful story EVER TOLD capture our hearts and minds so that we see, know, believe and trust Jesus in unimaginable new ways.

I just love how Pastor, Dr. Tim Mackie (even though he’s so humble I don’t think I’ve heard him refer to himself as Dr.) describe the Bible: as one unified story that leads to Jesus. That means The Old (testament) + The New (testament) is our sojourn with Jesus 2022!

This Bible reading approach is not meant to be a burden, a chore, overwhelming or leave us feeling guilty if we miss a day or a week (or more). It’s probably going to happen that we miss some days. The point of our daily reading is to help us experience the joy of knowing and relating to Jesus by loving Him with our minds and seeing how HE is central to the ENTIRE BIBLE.

Here are just a few things to consider:

• Decide where and when (a place and a a time) to read your daily passages
  • Pick a special place.
  • There are complementary videos that add a depth of understanding to the passages which I highly suggest you watch if you can. They’re beautiful. They’re informative. You’ll want to share them with others they’re so amazing. But if you cannot watch them don’t pressure yourself. Watch them later, or not.
  • The place and/or time of your daily reading may have to change from time to time. And, it’s OK.

• Keep a journal or notebook and write down at least one point in the reading that piqued your curiosity.
  • Share what you found interesting or insightful with the women of Love At The Well. Post it on our Facebook page or discuss it during our Tuesdays @ The Well pre-discussion. This is important for our reading in and as a community.
• If you miss a day or a week you can make up the reading, listen to an audio version of the missed verses, or just pick up with the day’s passages and read forward from there.

Each week’s readings will be posted here and on our Facebook page.

Let’s do this!!!

Stay encouraged.

Keep the faith.

You were born to live, love and lead well.  ❤️
