Are You Prepared?

I started a new reading plan on the Bible App on my phone.

It's called "Christmas Encouragement" by Greg Laurie.

The description caught my attention right away!

"Don't let the busyness and pressure of this holiday season rob you of the joy and true celebration of our Savior Jesus this December."

I've already thought about making sure that I don't get caught up in the hustle and bustle that often comes in December. 75% of my shopping is done, and the decorating will be completed by the end of the day on Wednesday.  I have a few things I still want to make, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty prepared! That's part of the reason I started this reading plan....I have time!

The daily readings began today and go on for 25 days.

Today's "summary sentence" was definitely convicting!

"We may be ready for Christmas, 

but are we ready for the return of Christ?"

Oops...I'm not quite as prepared as I thought!

I can't wait to read tomorrow's message!

Some Summer Reading

I read this on Edie's blog ~ Life In Grace ~ and I thought it was a great schedule for me to follow.  Maybe you would like to as well.  The paragraph below is from Edie's post.  I'm not sure when she'll be sharing highlights each week...but it doesn't matter because her blog is great to visit anytime!  Browse around while you're there.

"My church is encouraging it’s members, kids and adults, to read the New Testament through this summer so I thought you might want to join us. The pastor will go over the scheduled reading each Sunday and I’ll give you the highlights. The girls and I plan to read it together in the mornings—it will usually end up being 2-3 chapters a day. Here’s the reading schedule if you’re interested."

"Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly."

Colossians 3:16

I can do this ~ how about you?!
