The Month in Review

Since September ends today, it’s time for another monthly review. This one will probably be short. My primary focus this month was writing Sunday School lessons for all the age groups I offer. I also did quite a bit of proofreading and editing. Beyond that, I worked a little on my next 30-Day Devotional study. It’s still progressing very slowly, but hopefully, someday I’ll finish it… 

The Monday morning verses for the Facebook page came from Proverbs this month. And, since I’ve been writing adult Sunday School lessons from Esther, the trivia fun focused on two villains who plotted against the king unsuccessfully. The 30-Day Devotional highlight featured “Women of the Bible,” my tenth and most recent one. (Keep scrolling after reading this post if you missed it.) There were also three short devotional posts for the Facebook page this month, and they weren’t all from Mark this time. My favorite was probably “Beauty in a Broken Confession.” (Go check it out if you missed it.) 

That pretty much sums up September. Before I wrap it up, though, I do want to share that this month made me profoundly grateful for the ministry God has given me. Outside of writing and For the Journey, September was filled with varied and big emotions for a lot of reasons. But, the moments with my Bible, paper, and pen were moments of peace, moments of calm, that I desperately needed. And, I’m just grateful for God’s goodness and for His faithfulness to give us what we need. With that, I’m looking forward to what October has in store. Oh, and I’m out of 30-Day Devotionals to highlight, so look for something different next month.
