Maybe you’re like me. Many years I start with the desire or will to read the Bible in a year. I’ve even done it a couple times. Not nearly often enough though.

I have a chronological Bible that I love because it puts all the passages in chronological order. It was a great way to mix up some of the passages that I know cold and see how the whole book fits together. This year the Bible is packed and I have no idea which box it is in…so I needed something else.

My friend Tricia Goyer had posted on Facebook that one of her friends Joanna Weaver had created a Bible study tool that Tricia was using. Over the weekend I popped over…already feeling behind because I hadn’t started on January 1st. I could have. After all I spent the entire day in the car, but let’s face it — I simply didn’t. 

So on the fourth I popped over to Joanna’s website. And guess what? The page let me pick the day that the Bible reading plan would start. So I’m not behind! Anyone else find that psychologically comforting? To start knowing you’re not already behind?

I have a new Bible, the Holman Study Bible for Women, and I’m already loving all the notes and additional material. I think this is going to be a great year. Would you like to join me? Together let’s see what God reveals to us as we start the New Year with Him.

Let’s grab our Bibles, Journals, and reading guides and see what riches God has to reveal to us…maybe in the passages we think we know the best.

Anyone with me?
