what’s next: reading together

Can we let you in on a little secret? We miss you. 

Perhaps I should explain.

Writing and leading SheReadsTruth is a joy, one that continues to change our hearts in beautiful and amazing ways. But sometimes, if we’re honest, we miss reading along with you.

We read the daily plans with you, yes. But by the time those words get to your screen, they are ones we’ve sat with and ruminated over for weeks. This is not a bad thing, it’s just different. We miss encountering scripture anew with you, arriving afresh to truths our hearts have never learned or have forgotten along the way. We miss reading the Word together, not as writers and readers but as sisters growing together in the Lord.

For the next three weeks, the SheReadsTruth community will be studying through a 21-day excerpt from Zondervan’s NIV Once-a-Day Promises Devotional. You can find the plan in YouVersion by clicking {here}. (We’ll also have links at the beginning of each daily post.)

Beginning tomorrow, we will be here on the site each day to respond to the daily reading and discuss what we’re learning. Will you join us? We cannot wait to dig into this plan with you.

And after the Promises plan? Get ready for a 23-day journey through the New Testament book of James! This book has knocked our socks off the last few weeks and we look forward to reintroducing you to the encouraging, challenging and often blunt words of our New Testament brother.

Can you tell we’re excited? We hope you are, too.

See you girls here tomorrow as we dive into the Promises!

    Looking forward to BOTH! Great choices! Thanks SRT! Can't wait for James and already getting You Version of Zondervan's Promises so I'm ahead (not by choice) but LOVE this one!

    Blessings Amanda and glad that this will give you all (SRT team) a chance to breathe and comment along with us cuz we miss you and I totally understand from blogging that when you write ahead, you somehow miss the sharing! I so appreciate you and the rest here at SRT!

    Peace in Christ,
    Peggy

    Fall/Autumn is here and it’s my favorite time of year. I understand that lots of things go on behind the scenes to make these studies possible that you all have already gone through the study to prepare it for us. I think you all may have done this before, reading along with us for previous studies,and now I can be apart of it. My husband and I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary in the last few days left in the Promises devotional. Please keep my husband, our daughter, and I in your prayers. I’m excited about reading the book of James, too.

    God bless you all!

    I'm excited to learn more about promises God has made to us in His word; that's a subject that I need a lot of help with. I'm looking forward to James, too. The women's group at my church has been doing the Beth Moore study on James, and it has been blowing my mind. James is definitely becoming one of my favorite books of the Bible. :)

    Thank you to everyone who works so hard at SRT to bring us these studies. I'm thrilled to be learning along with all of you!
