The Upside of Step by Step Walk with God, Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019 — Vol 2, 47

New Years calls for an Annual Review of both our lives and the last year.

I always begin this season asking God for a Word for the Year and a Verse for the Year.

Last year my word was three-fold: Root/Relax/Safe

Considering the past year, I am thankful for these words for in February of 2018 my mother's life began to suffer. We buried her in September. I found myself being held by God in so many ways. The Reading Reflection and Bible Community [RR&BC] was a great place of support and encouragement over the year. Thank you to all who were with me through those days.

As you can see from the blog number above, I failed  to write five Learning How To Fear Well blog posts this past year. Instead of 52 blogs, I wrote 47. So, I did miss a few steps there.

But not one step was lost in our daily reading of the Word membership community. Everyday was a day filled with His words and thoughtful questions to ponder. Members found us here and were able to read along with us and ponder along with us every single day! Step-by-step.

And as has been proven over centuries, the step-by-step walking with God is what pulls us through more than all else.

As I review my year I look at things I did well, places I messed up, and where I can ask God to come in and change me in 2019.

What I have learned over the last sixty-two years.

• Nothing guides me more steadily through the valleys than daily bible reading.
• Nothing secures me in that daily bible reading as much as knowing that others are reading right along with me.
• Nothing is more encouraging than communicating what God is showing me in and through His words.
• Nothing forces me to grow and look at my life day by day as God actively sanctifies each moment as much as being in a community where I can bring my heart in authentic relationship with others.

And  here on our website we are doing just that.

Here are two testimonies from our members that have been walking on this road with us:
"RR&BC has gotten me back in the habit of reading the Word every day. It has also introduced me to many reading/studying strategies that I had not used before" Member CC
"Oh, Robyn, please continue. Praise be to God!" Member BJ


Because of this and others, I see that He is forging us forward to continue here. And I desire to be open and honest with you all who come to share in our journey.

Biff and I live on a modest income.

The RR&BC, LLC and site costs money.

We ask for a monthly subscription to cover those costs. The company of RR&BC,LLC donates 10%+ to non-profit organizations. I live with a frugally wise man. And yet every month or so I ask him if he is still supportive of us being in this business of sharing the word with you and building a bible reading community. Every time I ask he says yes! This is how we are sharing Him. What a kind and loving man I married!

This year we are questioning how do we bring more members to our community not for the financial aspect, but for the community aspect. So this year we are inviting all of our members that have come (for a month, six months or a year) to this point be considered life-time members. We want to celebrate you and show you our appreciation.

We want you here.

When thinking about how to do this with other new members. God led me to the scripture about the farmer who hired workers. Do you remember that scripture? Matthew 20:1-16.
