Not too long ago, there was a viral video that showed a boy who was trying to help a sheep out of a ditch. The boy gently and lovingly tugged at the sheepโs legs, helping it climb out of the pit. The sheep, now set free, joyfully bounded away, only to jump right back into the ditch.
Isnโt that the perfect analogy for our Fatherโs patient love for us? When we get stuck, over and over again, He gently tugs at our hearts to help us get out of the pit of sin and despair. He wants us to live freely and joyfully, listening to His voice as the Shepherd.
That’s why we’re excited to embark on this month’s Scripture Writing Plan: The Good Shepherd. We humans desperately need someone to guide us and to protect us from the Enemy. There may be plenty of boastful human guides out there, calling us to follow in their footsteps, but there is only ONE shepherd who is truly good. Jesus is the only one who actually can lead us through this world and safely into eternity with Him. ๐๐
There’s no new Bible study this month, but we ARE opening the doors to our new subscription program! This is not Patreon, as we had a few hiccups with that platform, so we’re cutting out the middle man and sticking with Teachable, which we are all already familiar with. (And we will be phasing Patreon out in the next few months. Contact us if you want to go ahead and fully switch over. It should be super easy!)
You’ll have two options: the $10/month Abundant Lifer subscription and the $25/month Gospel Spreader subscription. Both will give you LOTS of bonuses (many that we now aren’t able to offer separately otherwise) and will also help us keep various Bible studies & our monthly scripture writing plans FREE for all ladies. ๐โ๐ผ๐ So thank you!
Also! Something else exciting during the month of April! ๐ For those of you who will be attending Lads to Leaders in Nashville (2023), you’ll want to join our Facebook event here. It’ll have details of a HUGE giveaway that we’re teaming up with The Pearly Peacock, Thought Garden, Lissa Sue Designs, & Wifey Wednesdays to bring you. ๐ (Go ahead & give them a follow – we love these ladies & purchase many items from them ourselves.) Plus we’ll be giving you sneak peeks of NEW items we’re bringing you this time! ๐ Can’t wait to see you all & meet new friends – last year was SO FUN to chat with so many of you in person. ๐!!
Also stay tuned to our regular Facebook page if you’re NOT attending – we’re planning to have another ONLINE giveaway soon after the actual event. ๐
Now…if you’re here for The Good Shepherd scripture writing plan, I hope you dig in & enjoy the comfort you’ll receive from these verses from God’s Word during April! ๐๐
