Wow! We are already at Day 57 of the Bible in 90 Days!
To be up to date, by the time you go to sleep tonight you should have read through Jeremiah 47:7 or page 684 in the Bible in 90 Days Bible.
We are definitely in the homestretch… of this adventure, anyway. And I am so glad you are taking it with me.
Unfortunately I cannot control my children’s school calendar and I have to miss tonight’s Twitter party. Fortunately, though, my sister in law, The Happy Housewife, will guide you tonight in my place. She is a Bible in 90 Days graduate, an incredible blogger, great Tweeter and an even better sister-in-law.
She will chat using the #B90Days hashtag. Her Twitter ID is @HappyHousewife, so go ahead and follow her and get ready for a lively chat tonight, whether you are caught up in the reading or not.
To help you get to know her a bit better before tonight, though, I am re-posting a piece she wrote explaining how she did her Bible in 90 Days reading during our last session.
I hope you enjoy her tips and her conversation tonight on Twitter.
Don’t forget to post a comment letting us know how you are doing with the reading or link to your own check in post at the end. Hope you have fun on Twitter tonight without me!
The Happy Housewife plan for Reading the Bible in 90 Days
In order to succeed at reading through the entire Bible in 90 days I knew I needed to come up with a plan. It is pretty basic, but it works!
First, get a Bible bag, basket, tote, container, just something that is portable. My bag contains my 90 Day Bible, a notebook, another book I am reading for Bible study, 2 highlighters and a pen. This bag goes with me up and down the stairs, to church, and to appointments. Whenever I have a spare moment I pick up the Bible and read a page or two. Not only does this help me keep up with the reading, when my children see me, I am reading the Bible!
Second, when I read I always have a highlighter in my hand. When I come across a passage I don’t understand, or I want to study further I highlight it. I also highlight my favorite verses or meaningful passages. When I finish the 90 Day challenge my plan is to go back through the Bible and study these passages. By highlighting I don’t get stuck in a certain portion of scripture and fall behind in my reading.
I have really enjoyed the Bible in 90 Days challenge. One thing that stands out to me is the big picture that is unfolding almost daily. When I read through Leviticus I can’t help but think,
“Thank you Lord for sending your son Jesus to die for our sins! I could never keep up with all those laws and sacrifices! Thank you for providing the perfect sacrifice!
I find that each day I look forward to picking up my Bible and reading those twelve pages. While many of these passages are not unfamiliar to me, many times I feel like I am reading them for the first time. I am excited to see God’s plan for all who are taking part in this challenge.
Thanks, Toni, for the tips on how you are reading through the Bible in 90 days with us!
So… How about you? How are you getting your reading done? And how far along are you? Let us know! And then have fun tonight on Twitter without me.
