Sometimes an impulsive decision can be a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n

Two summers ago, I stumbled upon Mom’s Toolbox<\/a>. The post describing a Bible reading challenge caught my eye. Before I could talk myself out of it, I signed up.<\/p>\n

Immediately the doubts surfaced.<\/p>\n

What were you thinking?! Are you kidding? You’ve never opened the Bible before! Quick, cancel, cancel!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I took a deep breath and closed the web window. No turning back now.<\/p>\n

Was I nervous? Oh yes!<\/p>\n

I wasn’t raised to believe the Bible. Frankly, the scriptures intimidated me. I envisioned an angry, vengeful God punishing all the unworthy people within those pages.<\/p>\n

Yet I really wanted to try the challenge. Quitting before it started was not an option.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I chose to do the readings at night. And soon I cherished the new schedule I adopted. Once we settled the kids into bed, I’d change and crawl under the covers, Bible ready. The words swirled throughout my mind, comforting, teaching. What a glorious way to fall asleep!<\/p>\n

I also appreciated the weekly check-in with my group leader. I needed accountability! Because I had to report where I was in the schedule, I didn’t allow myself to lag behind.<\/p>\n

Eventually the time came. The challenge ended. Wow! I read the entire Bible, cover to cover in three months! What I didn’t expect to feel was sadness and emptiness, as if I lost a friend. Fortunately, my group leader advised us to continue reading whether it be daily devotions or a Bible study. My heart had opened wide and it was very fragile to enemy attacks.<\/p>\n

I floundered a bit. But for the first time in my life, I understood the ultimate love story! And I knew where to go to seek the words for support, encouragement and guidance.<\/p>\n

What about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you interested in reading the Bible in 90 days? I’m hosting an online group and I’d be thrilled to share the life changing journey with you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply contact me via email<\/a> or via my web site contact<\/a> page. The challenge begins Monday, September 16th! I look forward to hearing from you!<\/strong><\/p>\n
