Christian Paradigm Shifts

  The New Year brings about New Year goals.   I have several goals for 2013.   Here they are: Read the entire Bible using the ESV One Year Bible . Journal my discoveries using the something old, something new, and something to do format . Do 3 Bible studies. The first one is The Fine Art of Female Friendships . Memorize Scripture with the 2013 Siesta Bible Memory Team . Spiritual journey of discovery of who I am in relationship to God and others. Spend more time connecting with family and friends. Read two new  books per month and blog about it. Try one new recipe per week and blog about it. Keep my house more organized. I am a slob and I need to come clean . LOL. What are your goals for the new year? Please share - either here or on my facebook page . Iron sharpens iron, so we sharpen one another. Blessings, Regina  

Another year begins another opportunity to study God's Word and plant it into my heart and mind. This year I will continue to read the NLT One Year Chronological Bible. I purchased this Bible late in 2011 so I could follow along with Wendy Pope of Proverbs 31 Ministries. Her website is www.wendypope.org . She has a video teaching to go along with each days reading. For 2012 she will still have the videos posted. She will also be leading a study of the Psalms. I love this Bible!! It places Bible events in the order in which they occurred. From Tyndale Publisher website: "Gain a better understanding of the order of biblical events and the historical context in which they unfolded. The entire Bible text—books, chapters, and even verses—is arranged in the order the events actually happened. Prophetic books are interwoven with the historical accounts they accompanied. Psalms follow the events about which they were written. Proverbs are placed in the time they were compiled...

The Christmas season can be difficult to set priorities in order. I have not been able to blog since Sunday. I feel badly about not keeping up with my blog. Between working, keeping a house (or attempting to), having a quiet time (or attempting to) and feeling under the weather, I have not posted in a few days. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and have a full blog post tomorrow. Thanks for your patience and understanding as I set things in order and get my priorities straight.

Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour tonight!
