I wish I could send an email, or something very similar to it, to each and every one of you who is thinking of stopping, or has already stopped. But I am beginning to realize that I cannot do that and hold up all my other mom and wife-type obligations.
I want to connect with each of and let you know that I care for you, that I know this is hard, that I want you to succeed and be amazed at what God has done for you and what God has enabled you to do.
Reading the Bible in 90 Days is a tough challenge. It is so worthwhile, though, and your life will be changed if you stick it through.
It is my fervent prayer that you stick with us, dig your heels in, find every possible moment to redeem for the Lord and catch up and then finish reading in 90 days with the rest of us. It is a challenging task… there are a lot of odds stacked against you, but it is a task that is well worth it. Your life will be changed. Every sermon you hear will be different. Every study you take after this will be more meaningful and yes, I believe that reading at this pace IS more valuable than just completing it all.
When you read at this pace you can see how it all fits together.
When you read this fast you DO remember more than you think
And, when you read this fast, you are encouraged to keep it up and not stop, not give in but keep going, surrounding yourself with His Word.
It is your decision to stop or continue.
Please know that I am praying for you to stay with us and amaze yourself. You CAN catch up if you want to. And I am convinced He wants you to.
If you are floundering, please pray about this and listen, truly listen, to His guidance. Ask the members of your group to pray for you, too. (Find your group’s page by going to this week’s check in post and clicking on your group number or letter.)
And if you do determine that now is not the right time, I would love for you to try again when it is the right time. And it would be my honor to encourage you then, too.
If you must stop, please stay in the Word and get ready for another try when the time is right. I use this Bible in a Year plan when I am not reading the Bible in 90 Days. Click over, print it out and read starting from today. Don’t worry about making it up. Your new goal will be to spend time each day in the Word. Soon I’ll post an index of my SOAP posts using that schedule to help you reflect.
Please, though, use that only as a last resort.
If you want to do this, if you want to read the Bible in its entirety, now is your chance. Do it in 90 days with the rest of us. If you stop now, it WILL be harder next time. Something brought you here in the first place to make you think about reading the Bible in 90 Days with us. Do you think that was random coincidence?
