Enjoying some late-afternoon front porch reading in the last couple hours of daylight. ❤️ Such a lovely afternoon. Grateful for this super fresh air after all these bad-air days due to Canadian wildfires! AQI is currently at 19! ☺️🙌 Never mind that I‘m 31 days behind in my current reading plan 🙈 Still gonna try to catch up!

Yummy whipped-cream-topped hot chocolate from hubby and my little cutie pie! 🥰

Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, my 60 day plan turned into a 90 day plan, and I‘m behind on that too. So I‘m almost 1/3 of the way through the Bible now after my Jan 1 start. I really was hoping to finish in early March, or at least in time for my four-year Christian anniversary on March 16, but hey, I‘m just doing the best I can! #BibleBuddyRead

My new view for a couple days while hubby works on fixing the backed up plumbing in our house 🙊 Lots of unforeseen expenses, ugh. 😓 Well, my little daughter and I are making the most of it. 😬 Bible reading and working on new designs for my Etsy shop. I didn‘t bring my big beautiful Bible, just this little purse-size KJV.

Allylu Just finished Thessalonians and 1 Peter today. Are you planning on doing another Bible Study in 2023? I‘m trying to decide where to go from here. 1y
BookBabe Hi @Allylu , I see that you have since found my previous post about doing a “Power Read the Bible in 60 Days” buddy read, but if that is not something you‘re interested in right now, you could check out the Bible studies from the Daily Grace Co.— they are really lovely: https://thedailygraceco.com/collections/all-bible-studies 1y

HUGE NEWS!!📢😃Calling *all* Litsy family (male, female, Christian, non): If you‘ve ever wanted to read the most popular book of all time—the Bible—this is your chance to buddy read it in just TWO MONTHS!Consider this your official invitation to join me in this adventure: Power Read The Bible In 60 Days With Jeff Anderson. I‘ll be doing this plan on the free YouVersion Bible app https://www.bible.com/app Please share! ⬇️Continued in comments⬇️

BookBabe A few tips (which come from my experience of reading the Bible in a year ending December 31, 2022):
1. Plan ahead. Set aside a specific time every day designated for your reading and stick to it. Block it off on your calendar and planner, and set a reminder. Making it a daily routine at the same time will set you up for success.
1y
BookBabe
2. Get up early. If you can get up well before everyone else in your household, you can have peace and quiet before people are needing you, before the phone starts ringing, and before you feel compelled to start your workday.
1y
BookBabe 3. Try not to get behind. It is really hard to get caught up if you get behind (I learned this the hard way!) Do what you need to do to make it work – try to get it all done in the morning, but if you can‘t, finish your day‘s reading during breaks, during lunch, during children‘s naptime if you‘re a stay at home parent, during dinner, at bedtime. 1y
See All 25 Comments
BookBabe 3. (Cont) Any chance you get. But in my experience, I have found that getting the reading done first thing in the morning is the likeliest way for it to get done. 1y
BookBabe 4. Immersion read. I find that I can read a lot faster and stay focused better if I have somebody reading to me while I‘m reading with my eyes. I don‘t find that listening is sufficient because things distract me and then I don‘t realize how much I missed. 1y
BookBabe 4. (Cont) So I do much better to sit down and be focused, listening and reading visually at the same time. Some people can speed read and stay focused without immersion reading—if that‘s you, I say stick with what works! 1y
BookBabe 5. Speed up the narration if necessary. The creator of this plan estimates that it should take about an hour to read every day. I‘m not a fast reader, but that‘s another reason that immersion reading helps keep me on pace. You also might want to speed up the narration as you listen in the Bible app. 1y
BookBabe 6. Keep annotation super simple. Don‘t try to do a deep study, note taking, or highlighting this go around. I recommend using one color of post-it flags to just mark anything and everything that you want to come back to for any reason – whether to look it up, research it, memorize it, etc. 1y
BookBabe 6. (Cont) Our goal this time is to read it all the way through in just 60 days, so anything that slows us down won‘t be conducive to that goal. 1y
BookBabe 7. Choose the Bible version that is easiest for you to read. Some popular versions for readability are CSB, NIV, and NLT. I recommend choosing a passage (John 1 is a good one, or perhaps Ephesians 4), and comparing the different versions online, at Bible.com (the website of the YouVersion Bible App), or Bible Hub, or your site of choice. 1y
BookBabe 7. (Cont) See which version is the most easily readable for you, and pick that version for this 60-Day Power Read. 1y
BookBabe 8. Post regularly, using #BibleBuddyRead hashtag so we can all see each others bibles, reading setups, and progress! 1y
BookBabe *disclaimer regarding YouVersion: they are owned by LifeChurch pastored by Craig Groeschel, and I have heard that they are not the most biblically sound or biblically discerning. However, though I skip over the daily speaker videos they post, I find the app to be very useful and valuable, 1y
BookBabe and I appreciate that it is completely free and you can access many different Bible versions through it for free, many of which offer free corresponding narration. Please make your own prayerful decision about it and let the Lord lead you.
1y
BookBabe I‘m so excited to have you join me on this exciting and bold adventure!

(I won‘t be doing official signup forms or tagging everyone this time, due to time constraints. Every minute of my free time needs to go toward reading! However, if anyone has time and wants to volunteer to handle all that, please let me know!)
1y
BookBabe Please share and tag anyone you think might be interested in joining! And please invite your friends who aren‘t yet on Litsy, too! 1y
quirkyreader Get ready to blow your mind with the Bible. 1y
BookBabe @quirkyreader Yes and Amen! 💯%!! 😃🙌🏻 1y
Daisey I‘ve very much enjoyed this year‘s reading, but my plan is to slow down for next year and delve into some of the books & passages more deeply rather than another complete read. 1y
Allylu I‘m with @Daisey. I don‘t want to do a full reread again next year. @Daisey Let me know what you come up with and I will do the same. 1y
Daisey @Allylu I‘m not planning anything in advance or very specific for now and may use various resources next year. I do plan to randomly continue to share my Bible reading here with the hashtag. 1y
wordslinger42 I have found that, for me, fast-paced reading plans of the Bible aren't fulfilling. I really enjoy savoring and reading slowly whichever book of the Bible I'm reading (right now, that's Daniel and Luke), so this challenge isn't for me. I hope you enjoy it, though, and if you ever do something that's slower paced, please let me know 💜 1y
BookBabe @wordslinger42 @Daisey @Allylu I‘ve heard great things about taking time with a specific book of the Bible — reading it over and over again until it really soaks in, as John MacArthur recommends. 👌🏻 I want to read the Bible many different ways— slowly, quickly, in-depth study, repetition, reading chronologically, and also different versions (as @quirkyreader inspired me to do). 1y
quirkyreader @Daisey and @Allylu an idea for 2023 could be to focus on Paul‘s letters. I try to do an in-depth study of one letter a year. 1y

Let‘s chat about the amazing Epistles of Paul we just read—Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians!😃🙌🏻 What verses stood out most? Any favorites? #BibleBuddyRead #WeeklyWrapUp

BookBabe @mom_of_4 A little background on the #BibleBuddyRead: we started in January 2022, following the 1-year plan in the book you see here in this pic, which a friend had gifted to me. Some don‘t choose to follow that book and just use the hashtag to share whatever they‘re currently reading in the Bible, whether with a different plan or no plan at all. Either way is fine, the goal is to be in the Word every day! 😊 1y
BookBabe I‘m a huge fan of Ephesians 4 & 5 —I‘ve read them so many times. I often enjoy listening to the musical reading of them on this recording by Grace Community Church titled “The New Life”: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-new-life-ephesians-4-1-7-11-32-ephesians-5-... 1y
See All 9 Comments
BookBabe Also, Galatians 5:16-26 is so important in teaching how to walk by the [Holy] Spirit and not in the flesh. 1y
BookBabe I really appreciate how Paul writes. I can feel the love flowing off the pages. His intros and closings especially communicate this, and it warms my heart. 1y
BookBabe An example: 1 Thess 1:2-4 “We always thank God for all of you, making mention of you constantly in our prayers. We recall, in the presence of our God and Father, your work produced by faith, your labor motivated by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you” ❤️❤️❤️ 1y
CogsOfEncouragement may have power, together with all the Lord‘s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬
1y
mom_of_4 @BookBabe I tend to just read. Sometimes I will mix the books up. But my favorite is Romans. 1y
BookBabe @CogsOfEncouragement Yes, amen! 🙏🏻❤️ I have that highlighted!🙌🏻 @mom_of_4 Romans is an excellent book! The podcast Real Christianity has been doing an in-depth study of Romans, I highly recommend it! Very biblically sound teaching. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/real-christianity/id1408224071 (It‘s also on Spotify and YouTube) 1y

1 & 2 Corinthians are such incredible reads! Which verses stood out to you the most? #BibleBuddyRead #WeeklyWrapUp

BookBabe There are so many poignant verses. I think the one that has stood out the most is 1 Corinthians 5:9-13. 1y
BookBabe The most important of that passage is verse 11: "But actually, I wrote you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.” (CSB) 1y

Or in this case, Multi-Week Wrap-Up 😬🙈
I haven‘t been able to keep up with posting as much as I‘d like…My hubby, our daughter, and both her grandmas and I all have our birthdays in September & October. Add that to what is already a very busy season of life and, well, you get the idea. So here‘s an update on the #BibleBuddyRead‘s progress:
☑️Ezekiel ☑️Daniel ☑️Psalms ☑️Romans

Would you like to share your thoughts?

BookBabe With all these birthdays, and especially trying to get enough sleep to keep in good health, I‘ve managed to get behind, so if you have too, you‘re not alone! Seems I can only read the Bible at a relatively quick pace if I‘m the only person in the room, and that generally only happens if I‘m willing/able to get up very early, before everyone else. So now I‘m playing catch-up. 😳 1y
Roary47 You are not alone! Between Dance Class, Music Class, School, Work, etc I can only focus read in the early hours. 1y
See All 8 Comments
Roary47 I‘m working my way through Ezekiel, and I‘m just seeing a similar pattern for Jerusalem not doing so good and they are being told they will be in trouble with being destroyed. 1y
BookBabe The prophets are slower reads for me, and while I‘ve preferred the CSB version for most books of the Bible so far, I find that not to be the case for the prophets. I‘ve been comparing versions for Ezekiel in particular and I think the ESV is preferable for the prophets. Maybe that‘ll be one of the next versions I read. I‘m trying to stick with the CSB for this read, while supplementing with other versions as needed and as time allows. 1y
BookBabe @Roary47 I‘m still working through Ezekiel too! 🙈 I have my alarm set for 5:30am to get up and get back to reading (!!!) but I‘m tempted to just get up now and get after it since I don‘t seem to be sleeping anyway 😂 1y
Mimi28 Happy Belated Birthday to you and your whole family!! 😊❤️🙏🏽 if I did dress up for Halloween would be the bride of Frankenstein with all of my grey hairs sprouting around my edges lately and I could be wearing an apron that says “carbs… carbs…” lol. I have been writing letters to God as I journal. It helps. My Bible reading is off and on also. 😊❤️🙏🏽 1y

Having finished the book of Acts, the #BibleBuddyRead is spending the rest of September reading the book of Jeremiah! 🙌🏻

quirkyreader What always gets me about Acts was how God was able to help bring about change. Saul becoming Paul. He goes from being a worldly person who is following the crowd and persecuting believers, aiding in Stephen‘s demise. Then meeting Jesus and God. They changed his heart. He became a person full of love for his neighbour, and sought redemption for his acts. 2y
BookBabe @quirkyreader Yes! That gives me so much hope. If God could do this with Paul, He could save anyone! Nobody is beyond redemption. We need to keep praying for those who aren‘t yet saved! 1y

BookBabe I am finding the book of Acts to be VERY exciting this go-around! 😃 2y
Daisey I'm very much appreciating this read of Acts as well. I've read it through before, but having recently read more of the Old Testament, especially Isaiah, and the Gospels, it's making more of an impact this time. 2y
CogsOfEncouragement I appreciate this passage so much: But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean.” Again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.”

which I will make,
will remain before me”—
this is the LORD's declaration—
"so your offspring and your
name will remain.
All humanity will come to worship me
from one New Moon to another
and from one Sabbath to another,”
says the LORD.

quirkyreader Isaiah teaches us not to give up on God. He does things in his own time when he knows it‘s right. Isaiah builds upon the teachings from Job. And then Jeremiah builds upon the teachings of Isaiah. It all moves in circles. 2y

“Isaiah proclaimed a message to urge [the Jews] to repentance and covenant fidelity with the Lord, while also preaching about the hope of Jesus Christ. As we read Isaiah thousands of years later, may we also be reminded to cling to obedience in the Lord, remain faithful to His Word, and persistently remember the hope that Jesus Christ offers us every single day.”-The Bible Handbook

Allylu Just finished Isaiah a few days ago and I‘m on to Jeremiah, continuing with Ezekiel and Proverbs. 2y

BookBabe “Reading through the prophetic books can seem difficult; they are often confusing and foreign to us, and they speak broadly of destruction and doom. For modern readers, this presents us with a unique set of challenges in our study. However, knowing the context of Isaiah and understanding the purpose of God sending the prophets helps us immensely as we approach these books.” 2y

quirkyreader It came from an interesting perspective. Chapter 19 of Isaiah revisits Exodus, so get ready. 2y
wordslinger42 @BookBabe I've been doing a study from FaithGateway on Revelation, so I'm not up-to-date with readings! But I have been spending lots of good time in my Bible 😊 2y

Hi #BibleBuddyRead friends, dare I ask if you would like to share your thoughts on Song of Songs? 🙈 Also the Psalms we read 😄
#WeeklyWrapUp

CogsOfEncouragement Like a lily among the thorns,
So is my darling among the maidens.
‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ This is one of my favorites. It makes me think about what a blessing we are to our husband in this life that can be difficult.

Are you ready for this, #BibleBuddyRead friends? We‘re reading Song of Solomon, aka Song of Songs! 😮 And also Psalms 107-128. I don‘t know about you, but I had to heavy-hit the commentaries for Song of Songs! YouTube videos too. Please share the resources you‘ve discovered! I‘ve been looking for study guides on this book and haven‘t found any yet.

CogsOfEncouragement I really like the Thru the Bible series by J Vernon McGee. It comes in a lot of different versions. (One book, two books, over 20 books.) 2y
BookBabe @CogsOfEncouragement thanks, I‘m checking it out! ☺️ 2y

It‘s time for some #WeeklyWrapUp book talk for the #BibleBuddyRead!

This past week we read the entire book of Ecclesiastes, as well as Psalms 97-106.
I‘m really curious what you thought of Ecclesiastes in particular…for me, this reading was very different from my first.

Favorite (or most memorable) verse(s) from the week?

What are your thoughts/takeaways?

What stood out to you the most from what we read?

Daisey My favorite passage is the beginning of Ecclesiastes chapter 3. It continually reminds me that things change and we don‘t always have to do the same things. 2y
CogsOfEncouragement I agree with Daisey Ecc 3:1-8 helps me keep things in perspective. I need to focus on the priorities of the season I am in. I strive to enjoy each season - for instance: my kids are nearly grown, I do not mourn for when they were tiny, I enjoy life with them at this stage. 2y
quirkyreader I third it. I recite 3 everyday especially to get me ready for the day. 2y

It‘s time for some #WeeklyWrapUp book talk for the #BibleBuddyRead!

This past week we read the entire Gospel of John. ❤️

What was your favorite (or most memorable) verse or verses that you read this week?

What are your thoughts/takeaways?

What stood out to you the most from what we read?

What did you learn?

BookBabe As I mentioned in my previous separate post, I was really floored that Jesus actually prayed for us, His believers, in John 17:20–26. I‘ve read John before, definitely 3.5 years ago when I was first saved, and probably again after that, but it really struck me differently this time. Everything was so much more real and vivid and poignant. I‘m sure some of that has to do with a more mature walk, and might also be partly thanks to the CSB version. 2y
CogsOfEncouragement One of the great encouragements from John is that he records many times Jesus slips away from angry leaders, a crowd wanting to make Him king or those who would kill him. His crucifixion was at His will and at His time.
John 4:3, 6:15, 7:1, 7:6, 7:30, 7:32, 7:43, 7:45&46, 8:20, 10:31, 10:39, 11:8, 11:53&54, 11:57, 12:36, 18:4-11

Get excited, #BibleBuddyRead friends—this week we‘re reading the book of John! I broke out the big guns for this one, the MacArthur Study Bible, because I don‘t want to miss a thing. ❤️

I love MacArthur‘s comment: “The reader must prayerfully and meticulously explore the book, in order to discover the vast richness of the spiritual treasures that the apostle, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, has lovingly deposited in his gospel.”

CogsOfEncouragement So much to cling to in today‘s reading. John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 2y

Hi #BibleBuddyRead friends, congratulations on finishing the book of Job! 😃🙌🏻
Any thoughts, takeaways, verses that stood out? 🙂

quirkyreader This is coming from my extensive study of Job circa 2019. Verses that stood out were during my study pre-read were 1:21,4:5-6,4:17,5:2,5:9,8:13-19,11:11-12,21:22,22:21-22,28:12-13 and 34:11. 2y
quirkyreader And while during the study I found many more. When I revisit this study, you know it can all change once again. Congratulations to everyone who has made it this far. As we all know, some of the chapters and books can be a bit overwhelming. And finding that can help you explore it even more. (edited) 2y
BookBabe @quirkyreader Agreed! Thank you for sharing! ☺️ 2y
