Happy 2025!

My name is Connie, and I am a retired public school teacher. I had the privilege of working with children for 37 years and I pray I touched their lives a fraction of how they touched mine and continue to touch mine today.

I find it hard to believe I have had this blog since 2013. If you are familiar with it, you know I read through the Bible each year, and write down the things God is teaching me through His written Word. I love reading the Bible. And although I don’t post my thoughts every day, I do take time every day to read my Bible, then write in my journal and record what I am learning. I have many journals in a box under my bed to prove it. 🙂

II want to thank those of you who have joined my journey through this blog. Thank you for your comments, likes, follows, and shares. I don’t know if reading my ramblings has sweetened your walk with the Lord, or convicted you, or caused you to think. But I thank you for letting me be a part of your own walk with our precious Lord.

If you are just finding alighttomyway, hello and welcome. If you’d like, you can read what God put on my heart in the archives of this blog. I pray God will bless you as you open your heart to hearing from him through his Word.

This year I won’t make reading through the Bible my goal. Instead, I’ve decided to do a series of studies written by Warren Wiersbe known as the “BE series.” I’ve chosen to start with Be Basic which looks at the first eleven chapters of Genesis. I’m not sure what this will look like as I haven’t used many Bible Studies in my daily quiet times. But I’m excited to see where this takes me.

Whether or not you make alighttomyway a part of your walk with the Lord, I pray that you will always… ALWAYS… make reading God’s Word a priority every day. Dear one, let’s determine to not only read it, but memorize it, meditate on it, pray over it. Let’s ask God to reveal himself to us in the intimate way he can and to prompt us to get out there and lead others to his saving grace. That’s what we were put here on this earth to do in the first place.

May I add a bit of a warning? Please choose carefully the translation you choose to read. There are people who are publishing what they are passing off as Scripture, some who say they have received a visit from Jesus, or have been given a special revelation that gives them the authority to change the words. They are liars. Do not open yourself up to the heresy. God’s Word does not change with the times.

God bless you in 2025, and give you opportunity to be a blessing to others. I am praying for you.
