Illuminate Challenge in Romans: Friendships
May 31, 2012 By 2 Comments
If you’re new here, check out what the Illuminate Challenge is all about above in the menu bar. I couldn’t help but pray through the verses in Romans chapter 12. They are making a huge impression in my mind and heart. What does it mean to be a friend? This is something I’m taking on in a new “Friendship Series” where I’ll share what I’ve been learning and challenged in. Romans 12:9-17 9 Love must be honest and true. Hate what {Read More}
Confident and Good ~ A Peek Into Romans 12
May 24, 2012 By 2 Comments
Romans Every month we’re reading a different book of the Bible together. Challenging ourselves. Not to say that we’ve read it, but to be changed by God and His Word. Not because of rules, but because God desires us to spend time with Him and deepen our relationship. I hope you’ll join us. There’s so much in Romans I can’t help but just pick a few things out. Today these verses stuck out to me…. (Romans 12:3-8) God’s {Read More}
Illuminate Challenge: Romans
May 2, 2012 By 1 Comment
Last month for the Illuminate Challenge we read through 2 Peter. This month we’re going to read through Romans. Are you up for the challenge? The verse I chose to memorize this month is: If you declare and believe you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ~ Romans 10:9-10 NIV This challenge is for you to read a book {Read More}
Seeking Answers by Reading Backwards - Illuminate
April 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Are you reading along with us in 2 Peter* this month? *(It’s a 3 chapter book in the New Testament of the Bible). Years ago my Mom told me when re-reading something, try it in chunks backwards. It makes you ask questions and helps you focus rather skim, knowing what’s is coming next. Here’s a little peek into how it works. I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday, much less what I read or heard a {Read More}

It’s already April and I.cannot.believe.it. With a new month comes a new challenge to read through a book of the Bible. If you’re joining me, let’s read through 2 Peter. This is in the New Testament. The Bible is split into two main parts - the Old Testament (before Jesus came to earth) and New Testament (Jesus’ life on earth and after). Here’s a link to the book. If you look at the top there are different versions you can {Read More}

James is Kicking My Booty. I wish I could be saying the same for my Jillian Michaels dvds collecting dust in the basement, but I’m so glad I am changing in my heart. The challenge for February was to read through James. I hope you read it along with me. Ready for March’s challenge? I’m reading through James again. Yep, 2 months on one book that I seemed to avoid until my 33rd Birthday. If you’re ready to move on, {Read More}

Print For sale by Linda Robbs Art on Etsy I’ve really been impacted by James. With that said, that’s the next book for the Illuminate challenge for February. Read through James. This way I can feel a bit less on my plate and share with you how much God is moving through His Word in my life right now. Are you in for next month? Do you have a verse to share from this month?

Illuminate I Peter
January 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I Peter - Honestly I’ve felt like I’ve spent a lot more time in the other books. This month I found myself just reading through I Peter just because it was part of our challenge. It’s a phenomenal book, but I just had too much I tried to put on my plate. I just started a Beth Moore study on James. Instead of giving something up, I added to my schedule. The nice thing is that God says this in His Word: {Read More}
