1. This group is now free. Feel free to downgrade here. 2. We are adopting the freemium model so if you want to upgrade, that will go directly to supporting my efforts to making this group good and helpful (all previous income was donated as promised). 3. I am going to start making a youtube channel (follow us here) around this with a video for each day of me actually reading the bible as well. I will start incorporating those into the daily posts. 4. I am building up a module where all of the daily posts will go into so that anybody can start this effort at any time of the year and start at day 1. 5. Thank you all for being a part of this and being patient with me as I figure out how to move this group forward and be consistent with my own bible reading efforts.

You can get today's reading here. One part that really stood out to me in this reading, right at the beginning is how Genesis 1: 3-5 talks about how on the first day God make light and he separated the light from the dark and called it day and night. Then in Genesis 1:15-18, on Day 3, He separates the light on heaven and earth into day and night. So what was he talked about? I have read about how the first separation of lights is his separation of Good and evil, the chosen and the fallen, the ultimate separation between creation that is one with him and creation that is not. I'd love other interpretations and understandings though and i'd love to hear what part of your reading you found the most interesting!

The new year is just around the corner and it'll be time to start our bible in a year readings! Here's how it'll work: Every day , I will post the scriptures that we're reading that day with some reflections. You are all welcome to share any thoughts you've had on the day's scriptures. and as always, I encourage friendly conversation about scripture and the bible. Who's ready?

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV [11] For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. https://bible.com/bible/111/jer.29.11.NIV

I have been a little absent from this space because 1. I was in Costa Rica on a skooler IRL event (which was pretty awesome) and 2. I have had a lot of personal things going on. My third daughter, a 2 year old, is one of the most medically complex cases most of her specialists have seen. She has a lot of developmental delays which make things difficult (she has 0 interest in food and is completely nonverbal). We suspect Autism but we're in the process of getting an official diagnosis. She also is medically complex because she is allergic to most foods and has one of the most extreme eczema cases that some of her providers have ever seen. Navigating assembling a team of specialists is difficult and so is figuring out how to move her forward with eating when she's allergic to most things and trying to deal with her eczema when she is still so young, incapable, and non-communicative. I would love some prayers for wisdom as we navigate these tough waters and the healing hand of our lord and savior to heal our little girl ❤️
