Hi there sweet sisters,
Just a very quick note here. I’m having some major computer problems. Please pray I get my computer fixed before next week. I’m heart broken, I so badly wanted to be here to cheer each and everyone of you. My computer time is extremely limited. Please pray I don’t loose my computer, please! Remember this, everyone of you are special and I am so proud to call you friend. ((((hugs))))

So happy to report we have the very first person in our group to finish this wonderful challenge. CONGRATULATIONS Penney!!!!!
I had asked Penney to share with us a little of her experience.
Here is what she said.“Most days I ended up reading the equivalent of 2 days worth of reading. I had a se t time for reading in the morning. I also read whenever I had a few spare minutes later in the day, and for the most part I didn’t read from any other books….”
I hope you are staying encouraged, even if you are behind. PLEASE, PLEASE don’t give up. If you made it this far, (which is over half or our reading challenge) you are doing GREAT!!!…..So, why give up now????? You can still catch up!!!!!!! Sure you can!!!!
Some hints to help you catch up with your reading
Get up earlier than normal to read, or stay up late to read (I have a friend who reads at night). I am a morning person, so mornings are perfect for me.
Stop looking at the chart, this can get you discouraged. Make your own chapter’s chart. Mark off each chapter as you read them. I can’t tell you how much this has helped me.
Say NO to …..
……Facebook and Twitter
……blogging.
……reading ALL other materials…this encompass books, news paper, all internet reading.
……all media one or two days, just so you can have a clear mind and heart to read.
……long phone conversations.
Say Yes to ….
……God’s word in your life.
……making and sticking to a schedule. Prioritize your everyday life. Keep it simple!!!!
……cook a couple of meals all at once, put them up in the fridge or freezer for the next couple for days….. The time you would have spent cooking you will be spending reading and catching up.
……read the Bible out-loud to your children. You will be amazed as to how much they will love to hear God’s word spoken as they play.
……Pray and ask the Lord for “HELP” He is faithful and He hears our prayers.
……Read a little every chance you have….take your Bible everywhere you go.
……Remember, you will be blessed beyond !!!!!!! there is nothing more wonderful, then when we finish reading the very last verse of Revelations! I can’t wait for to hear you say this to Amy and I, when this challenge is over.
I can’t wait to add your name next to Penney’s.
In Him,
Katia
