Are you having a tough time making time to read enough of God&#8217;s word each day to stay on track?<\/p>\n<p>Or are you flying along, keeping up nearly every day or even cruising way ahead?<\/p>\n<p>Either way, let us know all about it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>We are just past the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/23\/we-are-half-way-there-a-video-message-for-bible-in-90-days-readers\/\" target=\"_blank\">half-way point<\/a> and, if you are behind and feeling hopeless, now is the time to really buckle down and make it happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sure, you could convince yourself that it is okay to just stop, that you aren&#8217;t getting enough out of the reading because you are trying to go so fast and that pleasing God by reading the Bible this fast is just pointless anyway. <strong>And you are right&#8230; reading this fast isn&#8217;t something to do to check a box and please God. It is something you do to grow closer to Him, to learn more about our Father, his Son and the Holy Spirit.<\/strong> It&#8217;s an amazing way to spend time with Him that WILL change you.<\/p>\n<p>He gave you his Word. He invited you to read it. And I would bet He invited you to read it with us right now in just 90 days, finishing with us by October 8. <strong>Why else would you have been drawn to the program and began reading with us?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So what happens now? Are you going to keep to it, or jump back in and finish? I have seen readers jump into gear at this point and come back from day 10 to finish on time. And you CAN do that, too, if you want to. <strong>He has given you the time. It&#8217;s up to you to decide what to do with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s it gonna be?<\/p>\n<p>There ARE forces against you.
