They will be praying for you individually, contacting you to help hold you accountable in your reading, and encouraging you every step of the way. I have already been amazed by their patience and willingness to help.<\/p>\n<p>So, without further adieu, please meet more of our Bible in 90 Days Mentors:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>MacKenzie<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hi!\u00a0 I&#8217;m MacKenzie (aka Mama Kenz or Chic Mama) from <a href=\"mamakenzstudio.blogspot.com     \" target=\"_blank\">Mama Kenz Studio<\/a> (I have a few other blogs too but you can find all my links and main stuff right there!).\u00a0 I am so happy to be able to act as a mentor for the Bible in 90 Days Challenge this time around!\u00a0 I must admit, I feel a bit like a summer camp counselor and it just gets me all giddy!\u00a0 It is my honor and pleasure to come along side many of you ladies and offer you support and encouragement for the immensely rewarding challenge that you are embarking on!<\/p>\n<p>I found out about the last challenge about two weeks before the start of the New Year and felt strongly compelled to participate.\u00a0 I had read all but a few chapters in Ezekiel up to that point and was determined to actually make it through the whole Bible, cover to cover this time around, and to my shock- I DID!\u00a0 AND on time (with a 3 1\/2 year old and a 6 month old, mind you)!<\/p>\n<p>The Lord spoke to me in so many ways during that three months, but mostly He showed me what a love story He has woven through history to bring His people to Him.\u00a0 It was so refreshing to read through the scriptures at such a fast pace and get the whole, overall picture as I never had before.\u00a0 I was able to make connections I had never noticed and retained so much more than I thought possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Twitter ID:<\/strong> @<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Chic_Mama\" target=\"_blank\">Chic_Mama<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ivy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I am a 31 year old single gal who loves spending time with my two dogs, Molly and Shelton. I enjoy photography, scrapbooking, reading, working out, and decorating my new home. I work in healthcare. Most importantly, I am a Christian who knows she is a daughter of the KING and enjoys spending time at his feet. Reading through the Bible has helped me to spend time in his word and to grow my walk as a Christian.

I used to teach English literature, but am now about to begin homeschooling. In the free time I have (which isn&#8217;t always much!), I love to read, bake, and cross-stitch.<\/p>\n<p>Participating (and completing!) the Bible in 90 Days Challenge earlier this year was one of the most impacting events in my personal relationship with Jesus!\u00a0 Reading through the Bible at such a quick pace really caused me to see &#8220;the big picture&#8221; of God&#8217;s plan for redemption and how truly interrelated the Old and New Testaments are.\u00a0 (In the past, I would read the Bible over a year&#8211;or longer&#8211;and by the time I was in Titus, the events of Judges were a bit hazy!)\u00a0 Seeing how purposefully God fit the events of long ago together because He wanted ME to be with Him for eternity is amazing!!!<\/p>\n<p>I am so excited for those of you who are participating in reading the Bible in 90 days and praying that God meets you in a powerful way over the next three months!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hi everyone. My name is Stacy and I&#8217;m newly 50 years old (just turned 50 on Tuesday!) mom of 4 ages 3 through 26.\u00a0 My hubby\u00a0and I have been married 28 years.\u00a0He does not believe as I do, so it has made for some interesting times. \u00a0I also work full time as a preschool teacher. I had tried several times over the years to read through the Bible in a year but never could seem to finish. I found Amy&#8217;s site just before New Years and made the commitment to myself that I would finish it this time. I can tell you honestly that it would not have happened without the support of others who were doing it as well. The accountability helped me through the rough times. And there will be times when you feel like quitting!\u00a0 I am so glad I didn&#8217;t \u00a0though. It gave me a very different historical view of the Bible from start to finish and I truly believe it has brought me into a closer relationship with God.<\/p>\n<p>I blog kind of sporadically over at <a href=\"http:\/\/oursafehaven.wordpress.com\/\">http:\/\/OurSafeHaven.wordpress.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Twitter ID:<\/strong> @<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/searching4\" target=\"_blank\">searching4<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>So there you have it, your amazing, dedicated Bible in 90 Days mentors!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you filled out the <a href=\"http:\/\/spreadsheets.google.com\/viewform?hl=en&amp;formkey=dE8wUm5DM19QU3lvdVR1RkkzU3B1RlE6MQ#gid=0\" target=\"_blank\">sign up form<\/a> by Tuesday night, please watch your in-boxes for personal notes from one of them.
