We are of to a great start in our October reading. It is hard to believe that we only have 3 months until our journey is complete. I would love for you all to pray about our 2011 journey. Proverbs 31 Ministries will running another Read Thru the Word devotion at the end of this month. I pray the Lord will move many to read through His precious Word next year.
When the first Bible devotion ran in 2008, over 1200 Bibles sold. In 2009, we ran the Bible devotion again and close 1000 Bibles sold. This year I wrote a new devotion. I wonder what God will do with it.

I forgot to put the link for my devotion yesterday. If you have time this weekend, hop over read it.

I love your devotion, Wendy. Continuing to lift you up in prayer as you dodge the arrows of the enemy. Put that armor on, sister!
Today, Oct 2, would have been my Mom's 72nd birthday. She passed away 6 years ago. But it will be a happy day because we're having my nephew's 1st birthday party in a few hours. So...I better post and go to sleep.
Jon Courson had a wonderful take on the sermon on the mount.
Notice the order. First, you're poor in spirit, then you're mourning over your sin, then you find yourself meek. Now that you've gotten rid of all that self-grandeur and self-glory, you find yourself hungering & thirsting because you're emptied of all that junk.
I am personally convinced that many people are not filled is because they have not been emptied. They are still full of themselves. Pride must go before you find yourself hungering and thirsting of righteousness.
Some people have lost their appetite for the Word of God...They are full of self-importance. When you empty yourself of self, happy are you because you're going to hunger once more for righteousness.
...then you'll be filled with God's love, you'll be merciful towards others & no longer judgmental, critical or analytical. The more righteous a man is, the more merciful he is. The more sinful a man, the more harsh & critical he becomes.
Wendy thanks so much for the opportunity to read through the Bible with so many wonderful people! It has been so much fun! Every morning I cannot wait to get up and see what the scriptures hold for me for the day. Grace and Peace what a wonderful explanation! Thanks so much - now more notes to write down- I have had the best time reading how God speaks to each one of us through His Word. I have 2 ladies who are reading through with me - they started in July and we meet once a week and go over what God has spoken to each of us daily. We are having a wonderful time. I think what spoke to me was "God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for Him" I had never thought of it in that context but we are poor even when we accept Christ sometimes we continue to be poor because we have not truly realized our need for Him or we get so caught up in every day life that we forgot about Him - He is not our priority any longer. Through this study by being in the Word daily I have realized my need for Him and want to help others realize their need too. God is so good! Hope you all have a wonderful week-end. We are in Cocoa Beach for a wedding today!
Grace and Peace, may God fill your mind with wonderful, great memories of your mom today. Peace to you.Enjoy your nephews b/d party.
Thank you for your writings.
I truly am realizing my need for Christ every day and I want to help others realize it too. Your Wonderful Lord!
Everyone have a great weekend!
Love, Debra
Wendy,
I am so thankful for you daily devotion! It has been the best experience. Although I don't often blog I have been with you everyday this year. God led me to your Vlog and I have definitely experienced the real meaning of free! I pray for you daily and look forward to being with you in 2011.

I tell everyone about this study. It is the first time I have even desired to read the Bible through and the vlog that you do, Wendy, centers the study for the day.
From today what stood out to me most is that it is the attitude of our heart that matters most to God, what we do privately is more telling of who we really are than what we do publicly.
Hope you all have a great day! This past weekend and the next few days I get to spend time with my daughter, SIL, and grandchildren (the youngest who I have not seen until now and she is 15 months old!). God is so gracious to have them here, even for the short time.
Willing,
Gaylene
Hi - Anybody out there : )
I probably won;t be commenting next week as I am flying to Arizona to be with my son and daughter on Monday. I am bringing my Bible, etc. with me but I don't know about my son's internet connection. It will be the last time I see my daughter for possibly 2 years as she journeys to the Middle East to serve her tour of duty. Moms - can you feel my separation and pain? Did I like it better when they were young and could always be found in their playpen? Well I knew they were safe.......
Keep writing in and I will catch up, promise. I get to admire God's handiwork at the Grand Canyon! You know I will be praising him!
With love and prayers,
Dixie - soon not to be in Fl.
Dixie,
"And therefore the Lord (earnestly) waits (expecting, looking, and longing) to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving kindness to you; for the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who (earnestly) wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him (for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless unbroken companionship)! Isaiah 30:18 Amplified
Love and prayers from your GIG's
Praying for you and your daughter Dixie. I can't imagine the pain you will feel while your daughter is away....how we love our babies...no matter how old.
Still following you all...and praying for everyone..
