Another one of my goals for the year is to read the bible in 90 Days. (I really need to get my goal post written and posted!) Anyhow, I have joined a wonderful group of ladies from The Homeschool Village and other blogs to do this the first 90 days of the year. Today is Day 1 and I am so excited! We will be reading Genesis 1:1-Genesis 16:16.

There are a couple of reasons that I want to do this. First off, and this is hard for me to say, I have never read the bible completely through. Oh sure I have read quite a few scriptures, but as for reading cover to cover, I have never done that. Secondly, I want to read every word that God inspired his chosen ones to write. The only way I can teach others about Jesus, is to be knowledgeable in His word. There will be a couple of verses I will be clinging to, getting myself through this.

2 Timothy 2:15
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

and

Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Jezamama is leading our group. She has some great tips for those who want to read the bible in 90 days. Actually, they are great tips for anyone who wants to read the bible completely through!

If you decide to read through the bible this year, I would be more than happy to help be an encouragement to you. It is important for God’s children to know His word!
