The past week proved to be a longs and busy one, so I am excited to be typing this entry. I’m not putting pressure on myself to write “x” amount of times a week, but I do enjoy writing and as with most things the more you put something off the more likely I wont do it.
As the new year hit I wanted to set some goals for myself. I used to do a blog series called 30 X 30. This was my 30 goals by the time I turned 30 years old type of thing. The concept had many forms as I grew bored with the goals I set and realized I didn’t care. When I created this blog I thought about bringing it back, but I knew I wouldn’t stick to it. Then I came across a blog post by my buddy Brandon about Seven Day Experiments.
I thought to myself, this is brilliant and quickly let him know this too. My mind raced on how I could make this something I’d not only like, but also actually do. I made a list of things that I may like to accomplish or do different and instead of sharing the whole list I figured I’d share the one I’m currently working on.
Read Every Word in 90 days
As most have figured out I am a Pastor. Again I’m not like most Pastor’s, so don’t worry I am not judging you as I write this..
Every year some of my Pastor friends share their goal to read the whole Bible in one year. I applaud them for this desire, however I fail every time.
So I decoded to make a commitment find a plan that works for me. I found on the Bible App YouVersion a plan that would challenge me to read the entire Bible in 90 days.
How is this easier than reading over the year?!?!?
Well I get up before everyone in my house everyday. Normally I scroll the internet or play a game on my phone. I looked at how the plan and the daily reading mapped out and it comes to about 45 minuted of reading each day. I already read the Bible so why not do my reading then, and at the same time accomplish a goal.
So there it is. I’m about 10 days in at the moment and at this time I can see this being the best Bible reading plan I have encountered.
So as I continue this I will be working on Goal 2..
Until Next time….
