Week 1 Check in

Hi All

So today is our first check in day and I am soooo curious to know how all of you are doing! Some I know after either speaking to you today or during the week but as for the rest I can’t wait to find out! I would love to know if you are on track, behind or indeed ahead, those are the ones I am envious off hahaha

I am so thrilled that you decided to do this…Yes, it will be a challenge (for some it already is) but you CAN do this!!!!! And I will do all I can to help you, all you have to do is read, read and read :) Make a point of reading every day no matter what, if you have to carry your Bible with you everywhere throughout the day until you get the reading finished, then do it! If it means getting up earlier, just do it! And you might say it is easier said than done, but believe me I know what I am talking about! I started with reading in the evening but realized that I was too tired and sometimes had to reread a passage ten times before it made sense so decided the only way I can do it is by reading in the morning…for you who know me, you know I am NOT a morning person, but I forced myself to start getting up earlier in the morning to do my reading…I found I took it in much quicker and after a few weeks it wasn’t even that hard getting up earlier anymore…now if I don’t read my Bible in the morning before I start my day it just feels like I am missing something the whole day…but you have to find the time that is best for you! Also if you are reading it in English but it isn’t your first language you might want to listen to it while you read so that you stay on a certain pace and might understand it more, you could do this at www.bible.is

Each Monday we will do a check in and you can do this on the blog itself (in the comments at the bottom of this post) or by email. I will send you the link to the blog everyday with my SOAP and also the reading for the next day. Please contact me if you have any problems etc or even if you just want to say that you are doing well in your readings...Hearing some of your feedback today at church was amazing!

Thank you so much and good luck for the week! :)

    Hi Ilani

    It was VERY difficult for me during the week with the kids, work being tired and all the other stuff! I caught up this weekend!! I also thought I will read in the evenings but that is not going to work so this morning I was up early and it wasnt that hard! So Iam going to try harder this week to stay on track. I am reading in Afrikaans...hope that is ok.

    Hi, Ilani

    I am right on track. What an exciting and amazing book this is! I have learned so many things already; okay so I will never remember all of those names. :-) It really is beginning to make sense now that I am reading it in order.

    Thank you so much!

      Now this makes me so happy :) It is the best book I have ever read and to be honest this time I am reading things I didn't the first time and I am sure it is like that every single time you read the Bible!
      Hahahah i know, the names get me everytime! but it makes more sense like you say and atleast you don't have to know them by heart :)
      It is an absolute pleasure!:)
