Today a few more of our Bible in 90 Days mentors share their stories. I am so thankful that each of them answered the Lord’s nudging to help others read through the entire Bible.<\/p>\n
I’m Kari, and I’m a 36 year-old homeschooling momma to D. and A., ages 13, and 11. I am married to a wonderful guy who is struggling to find Jesus (please join me in prayer.)<\/p>\n
I hadn’t known much of the Bible before 3 years ago, when I was saved…..before then, it had been bits, pieces and nuggets…..most of it wasn’t the entire truth, as I was raised in a non-Christian religion. God saved me, and gave me a deep and instant love for His Word. I’ve tried off and on for the last 3 years to read cover to cover, mostly getting sidetracked by a topic (or boredom!!) Too slow and too little at a time for me! When I found Bible in 90 Days and discovered Amy’s website, I was hooked. I was a month late in joining up, and for a month or so, I thought I’d finish a month late too. But God\u00a0is faithful\u00a0and provided me with days on end and desire unending to read and read the last few days, and I finished with the group (61 days!) What an amazing experience to see the Whole Story all at once. I am amazed at the God I serve–He is faithful, He provides and He loves. Can’t wait to encourage and help those of you who need it, and I can’t wait to read the Bible in NINETY days again!<\/p>\n
Kari blogs @ www.bitsofyarn.wordpress.com<\/a><\/p>\n Twitter ID: @karidyan<\/a><\/p>\n I am a mom of 4 energetic kiddos (ages 9, 7, 5, and 3) and wife to a wonderful man, who graciously embraces my many endeavors. I homeschool our children and our days are never lacking for excitement. :) I blog about the fun of family life at No Ordinary Moments<\/a> and about our family\u2019s homeschool adventures at Homeschool Creations<\/a>. I also partner with my friend Carisa in heading up the Totally Tots<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n Prior to being a part of the B90Days program in January I had never read through the Bible. Chunks of it, yes, but never in whole. Something my mom was very surprised to hear (and truthfully I was ashamed to admit).<\/p>\n Even though the ladies reading along with me weren’t physically here in person to hold me accountable, the online community of readers was wonderful to keep me going through the tough parts of reading (and I was surprised at what I found to be tough for me to read!). The 90 days that I participated in the program were wonderful! Yes, it’s a lot of reading, but I can honestly say it’s reading that I would prefer over any other. Looking back, it is something that really helped me shift my priorities and focus onto what was REALLY important in my life — the Word of God being the center focus. I learned so much through the process and am excited to start again with a different version in hand this time to see what God reveals to me in this 90 days.<\/p>\n Twitter ID: @jolantheerb<\/a><\/p>\n Hi, I\u2019m Celee and I completed the Jan 1- March 31, 90 Day Bible Challenge.\u00a0 Although I\u2019ve been involved in Bible study for over 25 years, I had never before read the Bible in such a short period of time.\u00a0 The Old Testament became so much more meaningful to me as I was able to see how the New Testament really is an extension of God\u2019s revelation, not a plan B.\u00a0 I learned so much and my husband saw changes in my character while I was doing the challenge, which is what it\u2019s really all about. \u00a0It was hard to set aside an extra hour each day just for reading the Bible, but it was well worth it.<\/p>\n Celee blogs at Miscellaneous Musings of a 5X Mom<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’m Nicole. \u00a0I am a follower of Jesus, wife to Justin, mom to Jaxson (2 1\/2), Tot Schooling mom, \u00a0decorator of our home, and excited traveler. \u00a0I write at Adventures with the Ross Family<\/a> which started out as place where our extended family in other parts of the country could see what we are up to. \u00a0But it has slowly evolved in documenting our Tot School and a place where I write out my thoughts on passages as I read in the Bible as well. \u00a0\u00a0I’m reading the Bible in 90 Days again because it has changed my life. \u00a0I no longer see the Bible as an old book that I “should” read, but a book full of God’s love and devotion towards us. \u00a0I felt called to serve as a mentor because I know how daunting this challenge can be and it helped me so much to know that there were others out there in the online community that would cheer me on when I got behind or discouraged by a tough passage of the Bible.<\/p>\nJolanthe<\/strong><\/h2>\n
