\"Bible<\/a><\/p>\n

Welcome to the first check in post for the Bible in 90 Days on MomsToolbox!<\/p>\n

I am thrilled that you have made the decision to read the entire Bible with us by October 8.<\/p>\n

Yes, it will be a challenge and YES, you CAN do this! And I, alongside a wonderful mentor team of 64, will do all we can to help you. You just have to read, read read!<\/p>\n

Each evening for the next 89 days I will post the next day’s reading assignment. You can also download the Bible in 90 Days<\/a> reading schedule<\/a> or, if you are using the official Bible in 90 Days Bible, you already have it marked in your Bible.<\/p>\n

Make it a point to read every day no matter what. Carry your Bible with you everywhere throughout the day until you get your reading finished. Plan on it taking about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes per day.<\/p>\n

Each Monday (or Sunday evening) I will post a check in post like this one which will have a link for you to follow for your official check in. The weekly post will also have a spot at the end for bloggers to link up a post about the reading or their experience. The weekly check in post will also have helpful hints and updates to the program, so be sure to read it every week.<\/p>\n

Get ready for the week ahead of you<\/h2>\n
