I'm still studying passages and verses, but not doing as much Bible reading. And yet, with the plan, I tend to read just to read. I need to find a better solution....<br /><br />I try not to read too many devotionals because I find that they tend to replace my Bible reading and right now I'm reading 2...maybe that's the issue. But they are so good. Maybe I should read them at night and stick to the Bible in the morning. <br /><br />Do you like how I'm thinking through it here? I'm really just talking to myself : )Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595668649977089723.post-31986512439546154412014-01-15T15:46:34.739-05:002014-01-15T15:46:34.739-05:00How great that you've been able to read throug...How great that you've been able to read through the Bible so many times! My mom's blogging project with the chronological reading (I believe it was a Beth Moore challenge) really changed her life, and is the whole reason we are where we are today! My group has tried reading just a regular book before, but I don't think it was as effective for us as a whole, even though there were some thought provoking questions at the end of each chapter. <br /><br />As for reading ahead, I think I've been doing that accidentally! I believe our workbook actually has us reading six days a week, leaving one day for reflection (or catching up!) I have been going through the readings each day, though, even if I'm on the next "week" before everyone else. It made things easier when I left my book at my mom's house last week and wasn't able to get it back right away.

I've read through the Bible chronologically the past 4 years and am actually taking a break from it this year (not from reading the Bible, but from the chronological, read through approach...) Instead I'm reading random books - slowly and thoroughly - maybe even more than once. <br /><br />I've been in an online Bible study for about 5 years and we are just starting 7. From your list, we've also done Nehemiah and Jonah plus many others. We are a small group of 5 ladies spread out all over the country - none of us have met in real life and I'm not even sure how we connected in the first place! We took a break for a couple years, but recently reconvened this past fall. <br /><br />It's fun and important to have the accountability of a group. I hope you are successful in your endeavor to read through. One thing that helped me in the past was to read ahead....that way I was never behind, and when I did miss a day I wasn't discouraged.Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.com
