I have a #B90Days confession to make…

I am behind in  my reading. And I don’t mean behind by a day. I’m, ummm… 10 DAYS BEHIND behind in my reading! Aaack!

Today is day 18 and I’m still making my way through Day 8. Nope, I am not thrilled with myself.

Sure, I have tons of excuses– we’ve been traveling, my mobile app/ wine data business venture has required a lot of extra work lately, my kids have had a lot of school work that needed guidance. But we all know what really has happened here.

I just didn’t make it enough of a priority to spend time reading my Bible every day. Because of that, I slipped behind on the reading schedule and cheated myself some quality listening and learning time. Ugh.

So should I give up now and tell myself it’s not important? I mean, I have read the Bible, cover to cover a few other times.

Should I just throw in the towel and start over another time when life isn’t so busy? Life is pretty busy right now.

Uh, NO!! to both of those! Absolutely not. (And if you are in the same boat, I hope you feel the same way, too.)

I made a commitment to myself and to God. I know I need this time with Him.

I want to read the entire Bible, and I know that reading it with you, my readers, will keep me on track if I am honest with myself, with God and with you.

So, friends and accountability partners, I am waaaaaay behind. But I will catch up. I’m not giving up. I’m still reading, but I’m really going to dive in and catch up.

Catching up won’t just magically happen if I just hope I catch up. Instead, my plan is to take action and be caught up completely by my next weekly post, this coming Wednesday, when we launch into week 4. I don’t want to lag behind for the whole session and be frustrated… I’ve seen that happen to people and then the reading becomes a burden rather than a gift. I want to approach each reading session as a gift.

Anyone else out there need to set a catch up deadline to meet so you don’t fall even more behind, too? If so, don’t be shy– let us know you’re in this with me and I’ll be praying for you. We can totally do this!

Please don’t quit. You CAN do this. I’m right here with you. Really.

      Looks like you aren’t alone. :) Thanks for having the courage to share. We can do this, I know we can. I’m going to start carrying my Bible with me everywhere– even around the house. It will be a constant reminder.

    I am in the same boat and it’s more than 10 days too…smh…but I’ve committed myself to get back on track this week. Similar issues, family, school for me as well as job hunting lost my job before the Thanksgiving holiday. But I’m enjoying this journey as far as growing closer with God. I’ve written out an additional timeline outside of the B90 days outline, and I’m starting as soon as a complete this post. For those who are also struggling, don’t give up, just continue to read, hope all is well for everyone else.

    I am a few day behind. Not sure how many. I am in the middle of Deut? Still reading. I am busy for sure, but like you said, it’s about priorities

      I’m glad you are still reading. And ugh– how that ‘priorities’ thing can get me! We can do this, though. ;)

    OH boy, this was for me. I too am on day 8, was so discouraged I had decided to throw in the towel and try again later. I have done B90 before, twice actually, and had talked myself into just giving up. I didn’t make the daily commitment either. But now, after reading your post, I am going to give it one more try. I will see how much I can read between now and Wednesday and try to catch up. I will be praying for you too! Sunshine
