finish reading the Bible
Star this Commitment
Butterscotch88 commits to:
Reading the Bible cover to cover to gain a complete understanding of God's word. Along side my classes I plan to dive deep into scripture to gain a better understanding of the history and purposes set forth within the context (cultural and literary context) of the stories and lives of the characters who God spoke to and walked with in various stages throughout the Bible.
No more reports due

I wish I could say this journey has been without its struggles but that just isn't the case. I got hung up in 1&2 Kings then completely skipped 1&2 Chronicles. I barely read Nehemiah and Ezra and Esther I tapped into via the Wednesday service at church. I skimmed the Major prophets and my only Old Testament was reading the Minor prophets and completing 1&2 Samuel. But at least I can say I have all these books imprinted in my mental map if only by the stripes they left and the big fat "D" I got in the class.. Life happens, but the real victory is that my daughter needed me and I put everything aside to meet her needs. I'd like to think that's why Jesus went up on the Cross.. He knew we needed Him, but only He knew just how badly. On the flip side, last week was the start of the New Testament segment of my studies. I am praying for grace in the weeks to come. I am desperately praying the Lord would provide reliable assistance to help get our family through to the end of our time apart. It we'll be nice to sit at the table as a family, both in this world and the next! Lord, please forgive my failures. Do not leave me in this broken state. Restore my soul and my vitality and my hunger for Your word. Let me dive even deeper than I can go alone. Guide this study. Let me be a tree planted by a river; continually nourishment by Your word! Please continue to provide support and encouragement along the way. Please heal the leaders in my church community so we may be like a woven cord, stronger than any man or woman off on his or her own. In Jesus's name I desire and ask of these things. Let it be so. Amen. |

| These classes move faster than I anticipated but I am moving forward and gaining valuable and deep lessons along the way. This week has been uniquely special because a friend entrusted me to lead her toward a relationship with the Lord. I guess the destination is only part of the reward. | |
