Bible in 90 Days Update

At the beginning of July, I joined Mom’s Toolbox in Reading the Bible in 90 Days.

I was on track for a little while.  Then two out-of-town trips happened.  And summer with children’s activities happened.

And I got behind.  WAY behind.

But, the commitment to finish on time is still there.  We have less than one month to go, and I have 721 pages left.  As of this morning, I am on page 327.  According to Amy, I should be on page 768 today.  That’s quite a bit behind.

So, instead of reading 12 pages a day, because we have 26 days left, I need to read 28 pages a day.

But, I am not worried.  Why?  Because I regularly read books that are 700+ pages in a week, why can’t I do the same with the Bible?

You know, as I have read through, I have really enjoyed the process, and in many parts of the Bible, there is a lot of drama.  I had never thought of reading the Bible like a novel before, but it is very fitting.  And the entire process is eye-opening.  I am learning so much.

So, with children back in school, I have a few hours a day to dedicate to reading, and my plan is to do just that.  I will be focused on reading for several hours each day while children are in school, and then again in the late evenings.

I will finish.  I will finish on time.  I made a promise to God and I have no intention of not following through.

So, there’s the honest truth.  Where I am, where I am going.

Each day when I sit down to read, I just read as much as possible.  I don’t pay attention to what day I am on (and what day I am supposed to be on), I just read.  And God blesses that time.

To your success,

Dr. Laura
