I have now read half of the Bible. Let's just take a second and think about that for minute. Impressed? Me too.
I never in my life thought I would ever do this. And while that's a lofty accomplishment, it's not enough. I WILL complete this challenge. I WILL read then entire Bible in 90 days (or less - I've always been a bit of an overachiever you know). Despite the hard realities that this exercise has forced me to face and the fact that it brings up some of my own personal demons, I will be successful. I might not have any answers to the questions it brings up. I may not have the big "aha" moment or insights I thought about when I started, but I WILL do this.
Who knows - this may be the groundwork I need to accept things that come my way later in life. Though this exercise has unexpectedly challenged my faith, I still believe that God has a plan for me and maybe my reading the entire Bible will allow that plan to come to fruition...someday.
