I've been enjoying Jennifer Kennedy Dean's advent devotional--Pursuing the Christ: 31 Morning and Evening Prayers for Christmastime. 🎄 DAY 29 Isaiah 9:6 "He will be named ... Eternal Father." The evening portion focuses on the Father's role as the potter and how He carefully shapes us into His image. 🎄 "When You have molded some part of me so that it has the shape of You, then I am passed through the fire. Your fire sets the shape so that it is stable. Your fire does not consume; Your fire purifies and strengthens." 🎄 How encouraging to know that when we are "in the fire," God is strengthening His character in us. 🎄 #DianneThorntonTX #sthdianne #LifeLoveTruth #LoveTruth #MiniBibleStudies #MiniBibleStudy #PearlandBlogger #PearlandBloggers #EnjoyTheWord #IAmTheSaltOfTheEarth #BibleBlogger #BibleAndCoffee #ReadingThroughTheBible #ReadingTheWord #BibleQuotesOfTheDay #LoveGodsWord #InPursuitOfGod #BibleBeliever #StudyTheBible #GodsWordForToday #JenniferKennedyDean #YouAreThePotter #PursuingTheChrist #ChristmasAdventDevotional #ConformedToHisImage #WordOfGodForToday #BiblicalTruth #SheSpeaksTruth #LampToMyFeet #InTheWord
The last couple of weeks I spent some time reviewing Bible reading plans. Several are ones y'all suggested! I knew the basic ones. Straight through, Blended (OT and NT), Chronological, and Historical. But there are many more plans available! 📖 Last year I followed a "pseudo-chronological" plan and I loved it. But I'm ready for something different. I need to keep variety in my reading or I get bored. (shhh!) 📖 Check the ink in my bio to see my HUGE LIST of Bible reading plans--including the one I'm excited about for 2020! 📖 #DianneThorntonTX #sthdianne #LifeLoveTruth #MiniBibleStudies #MiniBibleStudy #PearlandBlogger #PearlandBloggers 📖 #ThroughTheBible #ThroughTheBibleInAYear #MeetWithGod #FaithFood #InTheWordofGod #ReadingMyBible #ReadingMyBibleDaily #ReadingThroughTheBible 📖 #FaithfulFollowers #LoveTheWord #OnlineBibleStudy #ThankYouGodForAnotherDay #DailyHope #BiblicalTruth #DailyBibleReading #GodsWordIsTruth #DailyDevotions #ButFirstJesus #ReadYourBible #InTheWord #LoveTheWord #EverydayWithJesus #EnjoyTheWord

Last week I finished my Bible reading plan for 2019. I think I enjoyed reading through the story of Scripture more this year than any other. I’m considering what plan to follow for next year. 📖 What do you do? 📖 Do you have a favorite translation or paraphrase for reading through the Bible? 📖 Do you like to read straight through, read chronologically, or a combination of OT and NT? 📖 Maybe you’re focusing on one or two books. Or even a topic? 📖 I don’t think it matters so much *what we do* as long as we are IN THE WORD! 📖 What are your Bible Reading Plans for 2020? 📖 #DianneThorntonTX #sthdianne #LifeLoveTruth #MiniBibleStudies #MiniBibleStudy #PearlandBlogger #PearlandBloggers 📖 #ThroughTheBible #ThroughTheBibleInAYear #MeetWithGod #FaithFood #InTheWordofGod #ReadingMyBible #ReadingMyBibleDaily #ReadingThroughTheBible 📖 #FaithfulFollowers #StrongerWithGod #InscribeTheWord #QuietTimeWithJesus #WordOfGodSpeaks #WordOfGodForToday #ScriptureTimes #ScriptureOfTheWeek #ReadTheBibleDaily #BibleVersesDaily #FountainOfLife #JesusChick #WithChrist #BibleTruth #BibleStudyMoments
Not too long ago, I made a trip to Houston. I drove near The Galleria, a favorite shopping place for our family during the holidays. Each year we go window-shopping for a few hours. Sometimes we make a purchase or two and then go out to eat. Afterward, we look at Christmas lights. It’s been a fun, family tradition. As I thought about whether we’d be able to pull it off this year (our kids are young adults now, and not always available), I had that familiar “Christmas feeling” overtake my heart. It surprised me because Christmas was still over two months away. But it got me thinking. 🎄 What is that “Christmas feeling” anyway? 🎄 Is it only for children? For adults, I think we often find ourselves searching for that Christmas feeling by engaging in everything that goes with Christmas. Unfortunately, most of the time it doesn’t work. Instead of drawing our hearts toward Jesus, we clutter them with everything else. 🎄 Join me on the blog today to see how we can find that Christmas feeling, not just at Christmas, but every day. Go to my profile and click the link at the bottom of my bio. PLUS, I have a treat for you. A free printable to help you keep you keep that Christmas feeling all year long. 🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄 #MiniBibleStudy #MiniBibleStudies #LifeLoveTruth #PearlandBloggers #PearlandBlogger #sthdianne #diannethorntontx #EnjoyGodsWord #BibleBlog #StudyScripture #LampToMyFeet #BibleCommunity #LovetheBible #StudyGodsWord #LoveTruth #MessageOfHope #MeetingWithGod #ScriptureDaily #BibleBlogger #BibleQuoteOfTheDay #ThatChristmasFeeling #ChristmasHope #PromisesFulfilled #HopeOfChristmas #WordsForWednesday #FaithFilledChristmas #HopeFilled #HopeOfChristmas
