Twitter has been a buzz lately and I have read tweets of bloggers who are going to read the bible in 90 days.  I have thought over and over again that I would really love to try but I just wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to such a hugs task.

First off I must confess, I have never read the Bible in it’s entirity!  I have read lots of books mulitple times and I have read a quite a few books at least once.  However, there are books that I have never read at all.

Another confession I must make is that I really don’t like to read and that is always my excuse for why I haven’t finished reading the Bible.  Reading short things I can handle but long books or novels, I am out.  This dislike of reading hasn’t helped me at all in my Bible reading.  I go back and forth from staying in the word and reading on a daily basis to completely flaking out and not reading a sentence for weeks at a time.

I am undisciplined and I am tired of it.  I really want to do this challenge.  I want to ignore that voice inside me that says “But I really don’t like to read”, and I want to challenge myself to learn to be disciplined in my study of the word.

I started today and completed the first portion of the reading.  I have to say I am quite excited and I am praying that the desire to complete this will grow in my heart more and more each day.

My plan is to complete the Bible in 90 days after which I plan to study one book a month beginning with the New Testament.  I am hoping that during this 90 day challenge a new habit in daily reading will be formed.

I want to thank Mom’s Toolbox for the challenge.
