I was stuck on day 23 for 3 days. I just couldn't get through it even though I was reading daily. I did get caught up. But overall, I am proud of myself. I love that I can be having a conversation with someone and be able to add in some scripture that I have read. God has allowed me to reach out to others, especially my husband by using scripture. I have used it in Sunday school as well if something is similar to what we are studying.
I have to admit. I am an "underliner." When I come across a key passage, something that really touches my heart, I underline. Sometimes I even put a heading at the top of the page. I even took pictures using my cell phone one day so I wouldn't forget that I wanted to come back to those passages.
Another confession.....the first time I tried reading through the Bible in one year. I quit. I was discouraged. I started right in the middle. Looking back, I should have started at the beginning and just changed the dates. I think that would have helped.
But I love this, reading God's Word everyday (even if takes a couple of days to get through one days reading). I have learned so much about God and about me. I can't say it enough, but thank you Wives of Faith for challenging us and allowing us to be a community during this journey.
How about you, friend, are you on a journey through God's word this year? I'd love to hear about it.
I am, I started the bible this January in chronological order. It is so uplifting and amazing what I discover in God's word. It is truly the Living Word.
