My friends, thank you so much for doing this challenge with me. A little accountability and support makes all the difference in the world. So thank you for being my "iron" to help sharpen me this year and keep me in the Word.
My final verse was in a sermon a couple of weeks ago. It talks about how everything in the Bible was written to encourage us and give us hope. I thought it was a fitting summary for me. :)
Romans 15:4 NIV
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
I'll email you in a few weeks to set up a date for our final celebration!

Verse 23
Happy New Year!
Verse 23 out of 24! Can you believe you've almost done it!? After I finish this blog post, I'm looking forward to spending some time going over my verses and reflecting of some of the things God has been trying to teach me this year.
I'm going with an oldie but a goody - the Proverbs 31 woman. I constantly need reminders that what I do all day is not just pointless drudgery, but it's honoring to God.
Proverbs 31:27-28 NIV
"She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:"
When we started this thing, I promised a party to all the local friends who made it to the end. And by "party", I mean an excuse to eat sweets (and coffee or wine, depending on the time of day). :) The beginning of February is a little crazy for me, so we'll try to get something on the books for the last week of February.
