I started reading a few chapters before bed each night… not studying it or anything, just reading. This way I’ll have an idea of what happens in each book of the bible and I will go back and study each book over time individually. I am about to start Isaiah tonight. The toughest part was getting through the first 5 books of the bible. With all the laws and descriptions of what each priestly robe and tabernacle item should look like, it was tough to get though. If you can make it past Numbers, you’re doing great!! Then it gets more interesting. I honestly think Genesis was the best read yet! It connected sooo many dots for me. And reading the Old Testament really helps you understand the New Testament more, because Paul and most of the disciples were Jewish and were raised according to the Law. So knowing what the Old Testament Law was like helps you better understand the parables and descriptions by Jesus and Paul. I highly recommend reading the whole bible either cover to cover or in chronological order.

I just started a new bible study with some of my girlfriends. We are going to go thru the whole bible in a year according the schedule on www.biblereadthrough.com. We’re starting in the middle of the year and will finish in August of last year. I’m so excited for this! I am so excited to spend time with God. I have been pretty diligent about reading the bible passages every night. We’re in 2Chronicles, Malachi & John.
I can’t wait to have read all of God’s word and know what He has laid before us. I can’t believe God has given us this book and all the information about his love and our lives, and I haven’t even read it once in 28 years. I spend so much time watching tv, but I never spend any of that time with God.
So that is changing slowly now. YEAH GOD!!!!
