Hey, Miss J!

The Bible.

I saw reading it as daunting. I’m not good with numbers at all… yet there is the book of Numbers. I would hit that book and give up.

It was too hard.

It was too confusing.

Now though… I decided to make a push to just get through that one book. So I powered my way from Genesis and flew through Numbers. On the other side of it, I was startled I’d made it.

I kept going and then landed in the middle of the Bible. The book of Psalms.

I started chugging along and then floundered in Psalms. I picked up speed and fell into Psalms 117.

Ummm.

Since my goal was to read one chapter a day, well…

Yeah.

Then came Psalms 119.

That chapter has 176 verses.

I had to spend a few days reading through that chapter.

I kept flapping, giggling through the Canticles, whimpering through Ezekiel, did the electric slide through Daniel… then I hit Hosea and started howling.

Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi…

The entire Gospel accounts… and now I am in 2 Corinthians.

I’m going to keep going until I hit the book of Revelation.

And then…

I am going back around from Genesis again.

Reading it has helped me see areas where I need to adjust my life. It’s why verbally I’m more tactful and also try to not linger on memories of times I’ve been wronged.

After all, I make mistakes all the time.

It’s also why I took down all of my fanfiction and got rid of the Sims.

Life is so much sweeter now!

Yes, I know what’s in Revelation. It’s a prophetic book… and one I haven’t fully read through. So I’m excited as well.
