Challenge

I heard about a 90 Day Bible Reading Community through my Conservative Homeschooler site.

I thought it sounded scary.

I went over to Amy's Blog to look at the details.

I thought it sounded scarier.

I signed up.

A few years and a few kids ago, I read the Bible in one year. I used a commentary, so I could get immediate answers when I had a question, which was often. It took me more time for each reading, but reading without it felt like cheating, so it really worked for me.

Now I homeschool. And I have 4 more kids than I did then. And DSL. And blog land. And Facebook. And I workout everyday. I just don't have time to read that many chapters of the Bible everyday. Right?

I am praying about this, as I have a million distractions a day. But I see a pattern in me that I didn’t realize was there until lately. When I REALLY want to do something, it happens. I wanted to lose 40 pounds. I lost 78. I wanted to homeschool, and I am. I wanted to learn the mandolin, and that is going much better than I expected. I wanted to get past my nerves to sing on stage, done.

So, I really want to do this challenge. To me it is a HAVE TO. My daily time in God’s word past school has been almost nonexistent. I can’t live like that!

I will be linking up to the challenge with a blog post every week, and with twitter. I hope to grow as a Christian, make new friends and repeat.

To the Study Bible!
