The 90 Day Bible Challenge

First i want to apologize to my blog.  You've been neglected fro so long.  I can't even remember off the top of my head the last time I wrote a post.  That however, is about to change.  You see I've signed on for the 90 Day Bible Challenge.  My husband at first thought this was a bit over the top because I'm so busy already, but I think now he's ready to go it with me.  I know at least he support my decision.  

This will be a challenge you see I've never read the Bible cover to cover before.  I've read most of it but as most bible based Christians know there are books of the bible that are more difficult to read than others, for whatever reason.  However, I'm not doing this to gain some sort of accolade & be able to say I've read the bible cover to cover in 90 days.  My inspiration for doing this is to draw my walk closer to God.  What better way than reading His word. 

I just recently finished the Bible study Experiencing God.  What a great study, I highly recommend it.  the entire time I was doing the stuff I felt God telling me to wait I have something more for you.  I want o take you deeper.  I feel this is the beginning of that plunge.  So I'm up early this morning writing my 1st journal entry & off to pray & have my time with the King. 

My plan is to chronicle my journey through the bible on this blog.  My goal is to complete the suggested reading everyday by breaking it down in to smaller chunks of 3-4 pages at a time.  My logic is that I dont sit & consume my entire daily requirement of calories at one sitting.  If I did I'd end up hungry, cranky & irritable.  So by breaking down my Daily Bread, perhaps it will help me walk in the spirit more & the flesh less.  I also want to write a journal entry everyday.  It may be as brief as I'm up & reading or more in depth about what God is revealing to me.  Only time will tell.   I'm so anxious to see where I am in my walk 90 days from now.  I wonder what God is seeing, is he excited because he knows I will succeed & my relationship with him will be even stronger, better, deeper.  Does he know that this is the start of a major turning point for the Seats family.  Does he have some major assignment for us.  Or is this going to simply be Him& I getting to enjoy eachtohers company more regularly.  Whatever the outcome I know I will be blessed in the long run.  

Off for my appointment with my King.
