Bible in 90 Days Finish Check-In

It is finished, I did not.  I got too far behind, I will try this challenge again.  I am finishing the Old Testament in 90 days(ish) not bad, I guess. 

Bible in 90 Days Week Eleven Check-In

Ok, I am really behind, I hate to even say how far.  I am pressing on and hope to have a reading day this week that will catch me up close to where I should be.  I have asked my husband to help with that and he suggested this week when we go out of town, might give me the chance :)  I am hopeful.

I am without excuse, but I have started another Beth Moore Bible study and I am really enjoying it.  It is the Patriarchs and we are just starting week two, I have learned much already and it is great to go back over sections in Genesis and elsewhere and have a fresh memory of reading those scriptures.

Bible in 90 Days Week Ten Check-In

I am behind, but still reading at least a little everyday.  I am enjoying this process so much, it is a challenge, but I will finish (hopefully on schedule ;) )

We just ended the Ruth Bible study by Kelly Minter and are getting ready to start another Bible study.  I am very thankful to the Lord for all these wonderful opportunities, I am so blessed.

Bible in 90 Days

I am just excited to say I am halfway!  I am actually a little over, but I am very excited to have made it this far in this challenge :)

Bible in 90 Days Week Seven Check-In

I am still in, I am caught up through today.  I am enjoying the Psalms at the moment.  It is so wonderful to read scriptures that I have never read before :)  I have struggled and gotten too far behind, I am still going in fits and starts, I hope I make it more every day as we are just about the half way point!  Wow, it has been a great goal and I am feeling pretty accomplished.

Bible in 90 Days Week Six Check-In

I am really enjoying this reading, it is already helping me to relate to other times when I am studying the word.  Being able to recall what I have been reading and how it applies to another portion of scripture is great.

I did struggle a bit through the repetition of this week's reading, I have to admit I didn't really know that happened, particularly in the Chronicles.  I hope I don't feel that way when I am in the Gospels reading at this pace, reading it over so quickly makes me feel like "I know, I know I have been here before".  I had to look for new insight and details as I went.

Bible in 90 Days Week Five Check-In

I am just about a full day behind.  I am sticking with it though, hopefully I can catch up tomorrow.  I am really enjoying the reading though still.  This week we are fully into the kings and the wonderful history contained with their stories.

My husband has told me several times he is proud of me for doing this, he has completed the Bible in just over 90 day two years ago.  He has read the Bible cover to cover several times in his journey.  Maybe next time we will go through it together :)

Bible in 90 Days Week Four Check-In

I am still on track with my Bible in 90 Days, I have been going in spurts, behind one day ahead the next my goal is to read everyday the required reading more regularly.

I really enjoyed this weeks readings: Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel.  The accounts from these books are so rich.  I enjoy reading the stories I know fairly well learning new things as well as reading stories that seem very new.  I am also doing a Ruth Bible study so reading Ruth in a day is very different from the other reading I am doing of it, but getting the overall picture is nice to go with the slow, more in depth study.

Bible in 90 Days Week Three Check-In

I am all caught up and am reading the Bible in 90 Days Bible.  I don't know if that has made a big difference or not yet, but I do like the size and can see if I need to read somewhere other than home how convenient it would be. 

I made it through Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.  All of which have parts that are more work to get through than some books.  There is also a lot of rich history and accounts in each, some amazing things God did for His people.  I am excited to start Joshua, I know some of the wonderful accounts of Joshua.  I look forward to seeing new things, just as it seems every time I read this wonderful Book.

Bible in 90 Days

I am struggling, I am not giving up.  I just received the Bible in 90 Days Bible replacement, the first one was not bound properly.  I am hoping that will help, I did read yesterday in the defective one and it is a nice read.

Bible in 90 Days Week Two Check-In

I am still on track, I just finished the book of Exodus.  I really enjoy Genesis, it is just such a rich book.  The beginning of Exodus as well and the 10 Commandments, the descriptions of how to build and the building of the Ark, Table, Lampstand, garments and such gets a little long, but I am sure it is important and that is why it is in there.  I did get in a group for accountability and that will be nice hopefully :)

I also ordered the Bible in 90 Days Bible, I just thought it might make it easier to read and more portable.  I second guessed it because it is not like we do not have a Bible and I felt a little spoiled ordering, I hope it will get a lot of use though after I am through.

Challenges and Commitments

With the new year started I am going to participate in some challenges and make some commitments. 

The first being to read the Bible in 90 Days with all the ladies at Mom's Toolbox.  This is a difficult challenge that I have not completed in the past, I got quite a ways into it and let life overwhelm me.  I would like to finish strong this time.  I hate to think that I am approaching 30, have been a Christian for quite some time, but have not completed a cover to cover reading of the Bible.

The second being memorizing two new verses a month with the Siesta Scripture Memory Team.  I enjoy memorizing scripture, but usually do it as a passive process of learning with my AWANA girls.  Hearing them quote verses week after week I absorb from hearing them.  I want to make a more active commitment.

I am also thinking that just for fun I will join the Jane Austen 2011 Challenge just for fun.  I have never read a Jane Austen novel, just seen some wonderful movies, so reading a few this year would be great.  I do not know which ones yet.
