My 2023 Faith Bucket List

One of my favorite things to do is to make lists (I don't know why, but I just love lists!!), so I figured why not make a faith-based bucket list?

I want to do things that bring me closer to God, and that strengthen my faith. I am a very shy, reserved person, so I want to step out of my comfort zone, and do the things I really want to do, especially when it comes to my faith.

I would love to be able to do as many things on this list as possible this year, but if I only do a few of them, that is fine with me. I don't want to over-burden myself, nor do I want to burn out. I want to do what I can.

So, in no particular order, here is my bucket list for 2023:

  • Read the bible every day (and read the entire bible in one year)
  • Learn to pray better, and pray every day
  • Read one Christian book a month
  • Be an STM at a Joni and Friends retreat
  • Have quiet time every day
  • Listen to Christian podcasts
  • Create faith based art
  • Go to a Christian concert
  • Read a devotional book
  • Attend at least one Christian/faith-based event
  • Take prayer walks
  • Sponsor a child in need
  • Spend a day alone with God
  • Feed the hungry
  • Go on a mission trip
  • Purchase a rosary
  • Find my spiritual gift and use it
  • Make a will
  • Learn to play Christian songs on the violin
  • Write in a prayer journal regularly
  • Learn about other religions
  • Spend a day alone with God
  • Get back into participating in my church's prayer shawl ministry
  • Regularly journal my faith/spiritual journey
If you are religious/spiritual, whare are some faith-related things you would like to do this year?

Without

It has been a while since I have participated in Five Minute Friday, but I was inspired to write when I saw this week's prompt. I love to write, but sometimes it's hard to find inspiration.  When I saw this prompt, though, I knew exactly what I wanted to say, and am happy to be participating in this week's link up. This week's FMF prompt is: Without It has been almost 14 1/2 years since my mom passed away And every day without her is bittersweet 14 1/2 years without her voice Without her home cooked meals Without her love Without her comfort Without her We may not have seen eye to eye on some things But I loved her very much I always will She was there for me Whenever I was struggling She was there for me During some of the best days The good things that I have accomplished since she died Were bittersweet without her here to share in the memories I look forward to the day when I get to see her again But until then I will live my life to the best of my ability Knowing t...

Reading the Bible in One Year: June Reading

How is another month starting already?! I can't believe how fast the days have gone by. I have done pretty good in May. There were a couple of days where I forgot to reading the day's passage, but I just reading the following day, along with the next day's reading. To be honest, I am so surprised that I have been able to keep up with this challenge, and not given up. I usually give up on things after a while, but I am still going with this bible reading challenge, and I am very happy with myself! Here is June's reading list: Psalms 119:89-176 Song of Solomon 1-8 Proverbs 1-3 Proverbs 4-6 Proverbs 7-9 Proverbs 10-12 Proverbs 13-15 Proverbs 16-18 Proverbs 19-21 Proverbs 22-24 1 Kings 5-6, 2 Chronicles 2-3 1 Kings 7, 2 Chronicles 4 1 Kings 8, 2 Chronicles 5 2 Chronicles 6-7, Psalm 136 Psalm 134, Psalms 146-150 1 Kings 9, 2 Chronicles 8 Proverbs 25-26 Proverbs 27-29 Ecclesiastes 1-6 Ecclesiastes 7-12 1 Kings 10-11, 2 Chronicles 9 Proverbs 30-31 1 Kings 12-14 2 Chronicles 10...

Reading the Bible in One Year: November Reading

October went well, in terms of keeping up with the readings. I didn't miss a day, and I am finally in the New Testament. I have been looking forward to reading the New Testament for quite some time. I can't believe I am nearing the end of this Bible reading plan already. I have enjoyed it and look forward to seeing how I do in 2024. This year, I wanted to focus only on reading the Bible, but next year, I hope to go more in depth and study the word, as well as to memorize some verses. Here is this month's reading list: Matthew 20-21 Luke 18:15-19:48 Mark 11, John 12 Matthew 22, Mark 12 Matthew 23, Luke 20-21 Mark 13 Matthew 24 Matthew 25 Matthew 26, Mark 14 Luke 22, John 13 John 14-17 Matthew 27, Mark 15 Luke 23, John 18-19 Matthew 28, Mark 16 Luke 24, John 20-21 Acts 1-3 Acts 4-6 Acts 7-8 Acts 9-10 Acts 11-12 Acts 13-14 James 1-5 Acts 15-16 Galatians 1-3 Galatians 4-6 Acts 17-18:18 1 Thessalonians 1-5, 2 Thessalonians 1-3 Acts 18:19-19:41 1 Corinthians 1-4 1 Corinthians 5-8
