Starting to wonder

"All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness!"

~ 2 Timothy 3:16

My Bible in 90 Days challenge is uuhm.... CHALLENGING! I am about 8 days behind at this point.  It hasn't been exactly as I've wanted it to be. Constantly trying to stay caught up has led me to read it more like a book and not like the Bible if that makes sense. I haven't been dwelling on God's word because I've just been ... reading. I knew sleep would be the one thing I would have to give up if I wanted to get this challenge done. Well, the boys have decided that it's nice to wake up at 6 am now. Couple that with the fact that I am the least eager morning person you will ever meet and there you have it.... 8 days behind! 

On a positive note, I have learned so much about the characters in the Bible that I never knew. I knew much less about the old testament than I was willing to acknowledge, but like they say "knowledge is power" so I trudged on through the not so "interesting" parts and have made my way through Jeremiah. Our pastor @ BACC  started a series last week about the Exodus and it's cool to be able to sit there and know exactly the scripture he's referencing. 

As challenging as this is, I think I'll do it again. I don't think I'll be able to finish it in 90 days this go round' but I'm trying. I'd love to be able to complete the readings day by day instead of 3 days in one and so on. I want to know God's word and be able to relay that to my boys. So I'll keep trudging on. Any encouragement you have would be great! 

And since most of you just check this blog to see the boys... Here are a couple of cute new pics :)
