I'm still reading one Proverb a day until the end of March. Proverbs is one of those books that just sits with you. To be teachers (naturally), we're assumed to be a certain level of smart, if you will. Walking in the gift of teaching, you begin to see your "smart" amplified in ways that you didn't even know were possible. When you're feeling the pull or answering the call of the 5-Fold teacher, you see smart with amplification, and on top of that God begins to show you systems and frameworks and ways to deliver His lessons to the people and the wherewithall (for lack of a better word) to be able share that with others in a way that they can replicate it. How does all of that relate to Proverbs 18? As with all chapters in Proverbs, the 18th chapter offers life lessons. In that one chapter, I saw explanations for lived experience, correlations to current events (personal, in the church, and in the nation), and ways to lead the people so that we don't keep repeating the mistakes, errors, and fallacies that lead to these lessons. That doesn't mean that come May 18th, I won't read Proverbs 18 again and get new guidance, revelation, and wisdom, because nothing could be further from the truth. The wisdom of Proverbs is a never-ending revelation when you come to it with an open heart. "He that has an ear, let him hear what thus saith the Lord." We can quote the scripture, in all kinds of variations, but the book of Proverbs (or any for that matter) requires us to actively do it. As the teachers arise, this is a posture we have to commit to wholeheartedly. Not halfway, not when we feel like it, or when it fits the schedule. It has to be a dedicated lifestyle. You and everything about you becomes a walking lesson plan, either for your life or somebody else's, probably both. None of that means perfection or that you won't get things wrong. God uses the wrong to teach the right. (From a section of "my wrong" came 3 books that have helped many move from that same place).

Day 18 - This month's theme is Community and Courage and how that relates to teaching. Had some time today to think out loud. Enjoy!

Hello!!! How's scripture writing going??? Here's my post for Day 3. A little late in the day, but better than never!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hebrews 10:24 was the YouVersion verse of the day one day last week. It really made me think about the condition of the heart of the church, the ecclesiastical, US the called out ones. We seem to have gotten so far away from this. What happened to helping each other grow? It is my earnest prayer as we take this month to reflect on courage and community, that we embrace Holy Boldness as we endeavor to be the church and show forth the Glory of God. We may be the only piece Jesus anyone sees. Let's represent well.

Hello Fiends, Here is the complete list for the month! Looking forward to "writing" with you!!

Great Day Everyone!!! Grab a journal and your favorite pen, it's time for scripture writing!! Here's how it works, each day you'll set aside time to write the scripture by hand. If you're a writer, or want to start, write down your thoughts about the verse. Feel free to share your takeaways or a quick photo of your writing! Sadly, I can't actually write due to an injury, so I'll be doing voice notes or trying to scribble right-handed! I'll post the full list later today. Here's today's verse. Happy Writing! Theme: Community & Courage
