I am participating in a devotional challenge that is being shared on The Homeschool Lounge. It is just what I need to get my focus where it needs to be, on the Lord! I have committed to spending at least fifteen minutes a day, for the months of July and August, in devotions with God and to memorize one scripture a week. Let me share with you what I am planning. :)
- My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers – one devotion daily, starting in the middle of the book on July 1st
- Blue Like Play Dough by Tricia Goyer – one chapter a day, this will take me until July 23 and then I will choose another encouraging book
- Proverbs – one each day, for the month of July
- My scripture for the week:
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Romans 12:2
Slow and steady, that is my new mantra! I had pondered reading through the New Testament in thirty days (and those who have been reading my blog for a while may recall how my last ‘read through the bible’ stint went! lol) but instead chose a few small things all revolving around quiet time with the Lord. I know my weakness weaknesses and not seeing my brilliant plans to fruition is one of the many! Come back next week for an update on my progress, or better yet, join me in the challenge!

I like you're challenge. I may have to take you up on that. I agree with attacking things in small bites. It's sometimes the only way I can get through things.
My Utmost for His Highest... one of my favorite devotionals.
Confident that God will bless as you make time to be with Him and in His Word!
You've encouraged me to be more intentional with memorizing Scripture myself. Thanks!
Hope you are doing well there in your neck of the woods.
Yes the post I replied on, it is the Book from Fireproof. Amazing reads I tell you. This will be an interesting journey. :)
Have a great 4th.
