Over time, i have tried so many Bible reading plans and different ways to read/study the Bible. I can tell you that a lot of them have very high expectations to get things read. There are pros and cons for Bible reading plans. Here’s some i thought of. Later i will share my *extensive* list of plans i’ve bookmarked over the time.
PROS:
if you have no idea what to read, they will tell you.
I use a Bible app on my phone where i have a Bible reading plan called Life application study Bible devotion. It’s a year long plan with a small devotion and a verse or two after that. App is found here with their online version too if you wish to see: BIBLE Anyway, through the years that I’ve been a christian, 5 or so years, I’ve more or less always struggled with reading God’s word.
Well i do watch quite a lot of them. Sometimes i wonder why, but mostly i watch them to:
distract my head from not thinking all the negative stuff or overthinking things entertainment after classes on my free time boredom. Also, must warn you. Not all of this are suitable for everyone. Everyone has different sensitivity to what they see on screen. Some people are okay watching horror movies, i am for example not.
It’s cool to see some people already saw that subscribe button on my page, but wonder if maybe some people need help with this. So if you want to get notified in your email when i write new post and are lazy like me to keep checking my site on your own, then subscribing helps with that. Here’s a how-to guide for that.
1. Go to my site - mirjam.ee
*Disclaimer, there’s a lot of random mumble here, so if you want to get to the point, sorry, points take time… :D
Today has been one of those i don’t want to do anything day. I took another sick day. Another meaning that i am so tired and not feeling well that i wouldn’t have point in sitting through the classes. And if people would ask me am i sick, well in some ways yes.
So here’s the sad truth. In your entire life you will lose people. I guarantee that. No i don’t mind lose, as in they have to die always. No i am not writing this dramatic movie script. Although death can happen too. But i mean people leaving your life.
There are different seasons in life. And within seasons there’s also different people in your life. People who step into your life.
Today was just horrible. Terrible. Frustrating. Well it didn’t start out like that. Well not entirely. Wait, let me rewind and start from the morning.
I wake up to the sound of my alarm, as i write this i can’t even recall what my alarm sound is. Some things just become so routine that we forget them. Well maybe it’s just me. But waking to my alarm i felt terrible. Not sure why, but waking up feels awful lately.
For recent weeks, no, i think more like months, i have felt like i have been attacked. Not that someone had attacked me, no-no! But that me as a person have been under attack. Not by people, but by problems. See i’ve been sick. I can’t tell you i have been VERY sick, because you might assume then that i have cancer or something. Which i don’t. Not that i know of at least (sorry for my morbid humour here).
I can tell you this is not easy. In no way what is going on in my head is easy. I don’t say this to get pity, or even sympathy. No, i say that because it’s true.
I woke up today at 2:45. Yes, in the middle of the night. Sweating. It is odd. I know. I looked at my phone to check the time. And thought to try sleeping more.
I wake up and feel, well to be honest terrible. I crawl out of my bed with aches and pains and my stomach feeling weird. I keep remember what a friend (H) said the other day. “Mirjam, have you thought that maybe this is God putting you through things so you might have the gift of prophecy, they had also a lot of struggles in the Bible. Prophetic people. " And i have constantly thought about that.
