The Bible

 I have been reading my bible for years but not as seriously as these past couple of years.

I started reading my bible more seriously after my step dad died, but almost daily when my mom died.

I would read one Psalm and one bible chapter daily until Psalm was done then I would read one Proverbs and one bible chapter per day until Proverbs was finished then it was just one bible chapter per day.  I also would read my daily devotions.

Yesterday morning I read my last chapter, I have read the entire bible!  I feel so good that I did this.  For me it started as discipline but became a ritual I looked forward to each morning and felt really guilty if I missed a morning.
I would check off the chapter I read and if it was a really long chapter I may at times break it into two days and mark where I left off.  I also checked in the front of my book which ones I had read.

Now what to do you ask?  Well like I told Mickey this past weekend there is so much more to learn and now I want to really break it down and understand more of what I read.  I am going to pick up a book to help me study the bible.

I feel very accomplished this was a big thing for me.  I know several have read the bible maybe twice or more and maybe not a big deal for them but it is for me.

I look forward to drill into the Word much further.

Check back in a day or two I will share "our mom's day" this past weekend.

Hugs,
Tania
