You may have read on the Oasis General Blog that my husband and Hunter will again take on the task of reading through the Bible in a year. They did this two years ago using the tools that Bethlehem Baptist uses and it worked well for them. I planned on doing this with them but failed miserably. It was not long before I fell behind
and soon after stopped completely
It is not surprising , it is the same bug that I have had in the past with reading the Bible through and exercising
I think it was close to the time I started with Eric and Hunter, that I also read this article by Noel Piper called “Never in January”. I remember when I read it thinking, “THIS IS ME” but rather then going her route, I tried to keep up with my husband and Hunter and I failed miserably:(
A couple of days ago, Eric shared that he felt like he needed to go through the Bible again, the way he and Hunter had done two years ago. I shared, I really would like to try again as well. This morning while I was cleaning my Kitchen, the Lord reminded me of Noel Piper’s article, and so I went and searched for it and was so excited when I found it quickly and easily. I read through it and again, thought,” This is me”.
What Noel did was to not go through a scheduled reading list, but would just plug away at a book at a time. and would not start a new book til she finished a book. But the part I loved what she did, was that she chose a topic to look for as she read. He first was ” The attributes of God” . How fun, a hunting game.
This year, by God’s grace and will, I will search for God. I am so excited and I think I will start before New Years. I am praying where to start, but I may start in Isaiah.
My Church Sisters, please hold me accountable and if the Lord leads, join me. It may be fun to share what God is teaching all of us
I think I will start with a Pink Highlighter. I just need to find one
If you get the chance, take the time to read Noel’s article. May it encourage you as it did me
God bless,
Laura
