I have felt a strong desire lately to spend more time in the Bible every day. I am involved in an in depth bible study at my church. Which gives me 5 days a week of 45 minutes in each session at home. Then of course we are at church Sundays and Wednesdays as well as my Women's bible study on Tuesdays. To some this may seem like a lot of church, getting the Word in me, etc. However, lately I have been feeling like it isn't enough to satisfy my craving for God's Word. Which, I am very thankful that I have not become satisfied. I want to immerse my whole world in God's Word.
The past couple of weeks I have heard people talking about reading the bible through in a year. Some ladies in my bible study have done it for 11 years straight and some lots more! I was really encouraged to take this on and apply it to my daily life....just like taking a shower or brushing my teeth. My goal is to not be able to sleep if I haven't done my daily reading of God's Word. This is in addition to my regular bible study that I do with the church.
So, I am only on day three of my conquest to read the bible through in a year....each year.
I am writing this out to you all, so that I can vocalize my mission and commitment. That way in the beginning when it is a struggle to keep it going I will have you all to answer to when you ask me how it is going!
*In NO way am I laying this out there to condemn or make me look really holy!*
It would be awesome if any of you would like to join me in this effort of saturating ourselves with God's Word. Let me know if you would like to do this too or if you already do this everyday!
There are great bibles out there that are designed to read through in a year.
Check this site out http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com/ There are also sites that will e-mail you your reading daily, if that works for you better.

I recently, got a different version of the Bible...it is called the book of Mormon. How long do you think it would take me to read through that?
huh.
HAHA( nope not a mormon...maybe a moron though..hehe!)!
no, actually I did recently get the "Today's NIV" which I REALLY like. I also got an audio book of the same translation, that is specifically for ipods! I love it, and I love listening to it too. Sometimes I read, sometimes I listen, sometimes I do both at the same time.
oh, what a wonderful thing!!I will check out that site though.
What a great goal!!!
