The thing that defines every other role in my life&#8211;wife, mama, daughter, sister, friend, student, pastor&#8217;s wife, mentor&#8230; Without being distracted by the driving in the car, exercising, or fixing breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>I have never used a formal system before as I&#8217;ve read through the Bible. I&#8217;ve basically just started at Matthew and kept on going. :-) {When I was in 6th grade, my pastor suggested that I start with the New Testament and then go back to the Old, so that&#8217;s been my typical approach up to now.} So I&#8217;m excited to join together with a group of fellow believers&#8211;and fellow bloggers like <a href=\"http:\/\/kingdomfirstmom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alyssa<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Toni<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/2009\/12\/10\/im-reading-through-the-bible-in-90-days-again-wont-you-join-me\/\" target=\"_blank\">others<\/a>&#8211;for an intense study that will surely bond us closer together and enrich our knowledge of our faith.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t really imagine adding <em>another<\/em> thing to my plate during my last semester of nursing school. But I also think there&#8217;s nothing better I could be committing myself to during my last semester of nursing school.
