Today Is Day 1!

Today is the first day of the Read the Bible in 90 Days challenge!  I realized I should have posted about it early this morning, but this is something new for me, and I honestly didn't think to do it until now.  From here on out, I will actually try to post every Sunday with the readings for the week. 

Today you should have read Genesis 1:1-Genesis 16:16.  If you didn't do the reading today (Monday) but still want to participate, please feel free to join in.  You may either do two readings one day this week, or you can start on whichever day you decide to join in and just begin reading that day's reading.  You can always go back and do the readings you missed at the end of our "regular" 90 day schedule.  Your 90 days will just end a few days after the rest of ours. 

For this week, our readings are as follows:

DAY 1
Monday, July 5:
Genesis 1:1-Genesis 16:16

DAY 2
Tuesday, July 6:
Genesis 17:1-Genesis 28:19

DAY 3
Wednesday, July 7:
Genesis 28:20-Genesis 40:11

DAY 4
Thursday, July 8:
Genesis 40:12-Genesis 50:26

DAY 5
Friday, July 9:
Exodus 1:1-Exodus 15:18

DAY 6
Saturday, July 10:
Exodus 15:19-Exodus 28:43

DAY 7
Sunday, July 11:
Exodus 29:1-Exodus 40:39

I know life is busy, and there are always lots of things that need to be done.  It was hard for me to make the commitment to do this, too, but I felt like I should do it.  I've wanted to read the entire Bible straight through for years but have always had some reason why I couldn't do it at that particular time.  This time I decided to just do it anyway! 

I hope we can encourage each other as we do this together.  If you fall behind, the rest of us will be here to support you.  Please don't be afraid to join for fear of not being able to keep up.  I would much rather you join and give it an effort than be afraid to try it at all.  If you don't get the reading done one day, just pick up where you are and make a note that you need to go back and do the missed reading later.  Like I said in the second paragraph above, you can just add the missed reading(s) to the end of the 90 days.  Nobody will fuss at you for it! 

If you are participating in this challenge, I would love it if you will stop by once a week or so and leave a comment.  I would love to know how you are doing and that you are reading along with those who have signed up to be a part of the challenge. 

I will be praying for each of you during these 90 days.  I'm sure they will be a challenge, but I'm also sure they will be a blessing!

  3. Heidi and Debbie--I am so glad both of you are doing this with me!! Both of you will probably be glad you started early so you will be able to miss a day here and there without worrying about getting behind. I wanted to start early too, but I admit that I let other things get in the way of my Bible reading last week. I knew this week I'd have to start making sure I got it all done, so I goofed around a little bit last week!
