365 days full of The Word

I don't think I have ever done a New Year's Resolution.

And I never really intend to.

This year I do have a "goal" though.

The last few years, especially this last year, I have felt really convicted to just get into the Word.

I've done devotions, and Bible Studies.

I have done #shereadstruth plans.

And while I think of all that is good...it hasn't really worked for me.

I will read the Bible passages that go along with devotions or that are brought up in books or Bible Studies, but I have a hard time applying it to my life. 

I have a hard time getting into it and getting passionate about it.

Reading the entire Bible is something I have always wanted to do.

Actually I did do it way back when - in like middle school/high school.

I literally think it took me about 5 years.

I read Genesis to Revelation - straight on through.

And I found it extremely confusing and quite a little boring.

This time I am reading it Chronologically. 

I am reading it as it really happened.

And I am so excited!

This is how I should have read it the first time, because this is what intrigues me.

The dates and how things flow together. 

I am really looking forward to understanding it.

If you know me you know that I love organization.

I love lists and checklists.

And I rarely succeed unless I write something out for myself to follow and track my progress and have people to keep me accountable.

I already have my list printed out for 365 days. 

365 days of a few verses and chapters to read.

It is actually a lot less than you would think.

10-15 minutes a day and I will be done.

I will be keeping notes to myself as I read.

I might pop in occasionally and write a blog about my progress here and there, but I will see how it goes.

I am really excited to do this!

I encourage you to dig into the Word in 2014 too.

Find what works for you and get to into it!
