It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. Leviticus 1:9 Repeated eight times in the first three chapters of Leviticus, this idea of the offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord captivates me. Used first in Genesis 8:21 about Noah's sacrifice after exiting the ark and found again in Ephesians describing Christ's sacrifice: Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as ...

Here are the readings for this week. I'm still trying to divide my readings into three sections a day to help me stop and refocus throughout the day. I confess though, it's been hard for me to do it this way. For a list-making, check-it-off-it's-done sort of girl, not being able to mark through the days reading until right before bedtime even though I started first thing in the morning has been tough. But the slowing down and intentionally stopping to read each afternoon as well as ending my ... [Read More]

Anyone but me excited?? Today since we're just starting, there is not much summarizing to do about what we read but I wanted to share how I'll be keeping track of what stands out to me when I read. Because each day covers so much, I know I won't be able to remember everything I read but I want to keep a record of what stands out to me the most from each day's portions of Scripture. I've created a little Word file (available as a pdf for you if you want to print it out and use ... [Read More]
