Well, it was just the dogs and I who slept here last night. It has been a minute since I’ve had NO kids in the house. This is a new season Im entering in.
Colton and Skyler will be home today after school. I’m so excited. Syrus already called me this morning and for that I am grateful. All these grown up children is very new for me.
I’m super expectant about what God wants to do in this season of singleness and kidlessness. (Is that even a word?!)
One thing I know; I plan to passionately pursue the Lord. From there I know everything else will fall in place. Reading one chapter a day has ignited a fire in me that longs to know Him and serve him like I can’t explain. I have been reading the Word daily for 8 years now and somehow I think it's more accurate to say IT is reading me.
I feel like I can truly say, "It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives within me." By no means do I think I have arrived. I feel like I’m only just beginning.
I know that if I can help others commit to reading one chapter a day, the same will happen for them, and I can’t even imagine what this kind of movement in the world might do! It has changed everything for me.
“But we long to see you passionately advance until the end and you find your hope fulfilled. So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance.”
Hebrews 6:11-12 TPT
If I was asked, "How do I stay passionate about Christ and keep my hope alive?" I would say, "It's easy just commit to reading a chapter of the Bible a day! It will set your soul on fire!"
