Week 2 of Read the Bible in 90 Days

After waiting so long to get started, it's hard to believe that week #2 of our The Bible in 90 Days adventure is here!  I have to admit that it has been a little harder than I thought it would be to get in a habit of reading the 12 pages each day.  I've never been as good as I should be about reading my Bible every day, and reading 12 pages each day has been quite a challenge for me!  One reason I chose to blog about this experience, though, is to help keep me accountable. 

I hope that those of you who chose to join in the reading with me have managed to do your daily readings.  If not, don't give up!  You can read a little bit extra each day for the coming week and still have time to catch up and keep going with the rest of us.  If you have done your reading each day, then you are off to a great start and I am so proud of you!! 

I have a suggestion that I hadn't thought to mention before but thought about this week.  I had bought an entire Bible on CD several years ago, had listened to parts of it for a while, and then had tucked it away and forgotten about it.  I dug it back out this week and decided that I might listen to my readings some days instead of reading them myself every day.  I figured it might make some sections (like the so-and-so begat so-and-so....) easier to read if I have someone else to pronounce all those names for me!  Otherwise, I'll admit, it would be quite tempting to skip over those parts.  I hadn't really thought about listening to the Bible readings instead of reading them all until I remembered my Bible on CD.  I thought I would mention it in case it might help someone else to stay on track.  I actually don't advocate doing all of the reading using an audio CD, but I wouldn't have a problem with doing some of it that way--especially if it meant the difference between getting it done or not getting it done at all. 

Below is a list of this week's readings for anyone who doesn't have a "90 Days" Bible and would like to follow that reading schedule.  Also, I'd love to hear a quick comment from any of you who are reading along with me.  I hope you have a great second week!

  1. I started on the 1st instead of the 5th because I just wanted to see how hard 12 pages a day would be, so I'm a little ahead. Yesterday, I actually read 2 days worth - one on the way to church, and the other last night. I have a lot to do this morning, so I thought I'd get this morning's reading done last night. However, I still got up this morning and read - so now I'm done through Day 13. :) It's been going really well for me actually.

    I'm so glad you decided to do this, Wendy, because it really encouraged me to give it a whirl and I'm excited that it's already becoming a morning routine. :) Thanks!

  2. Wow, Heidi! That's great. :) I have found over the last day or two that I am doing a little better about adding this to my "normal routine" as well. I am actually beginning to really enjoy my reading and feel like I'm getting more out of it too. I am so glad it's going well for you!!
