Bible in 90 Days Day 1 Check-In

I am very excited to be reading the Bible cover to cover in 90 days again. I read as part of the group that started in January too. Our then 4 year old was scheduled for open heart surgery January 11, and I knew I needed that much Bible reading - it was not that I am that spiritual, it was that I was that desperate! Our daughter did great in her surgery, and we joke she is all but bionic now, you would never know anything happened. The reading helped me tremendously! I loved how the Bible was so alive and I felt like I was meeting God each morning in my reading. Then it became clear we were moving and in the last 3 weeks of the scheduled reading I completely fell apart.

So here we are, the move is done, we are mostly settled, and it is time to get my quiet time back on track. And I know this is the way I am to do it. So here we go, day 1.

Day 1 is not off to a good start. My plan is to get up early and ready before my family is awake. My programmable coffee maker is all set! But with yesterday being July 4, and fireworks being completely legal where we are, well, it was a loud night with fireworks still going off at 1AM. But there are still many hours in this day to complete my reading, and it is a priority, so it will get done.

I am very happy to be reading along again, and look forward to hearing what God has to teach me. Once again I plan to read with no agenda, just read attentively and listen for what God has to say with me. I guess that is an agenda, read and listen carefully, or to quote a past professor, simply waste time with God.
