Read More Books

I don't know about you, but every year I start off with good intentions. I want to read through my Bible daily with some sort of agenda and I want to read X amount of books throughout the year. Every year ends up being a big fat FAIL!!!! I may read, but most of the time I'm all over the map. I love using Bible reading plans, but once I get behind, I'm overwhelmed with the catch up and somewhere along the way I give up.

Glory to God that He has lit a fire within me. He has rekindled a fire within my spirit to get in the Word daily and learn from Him. I am using the M'Cheyne Bible Reading Plan and I absolutely LOVE it. One thing that I really love about it is that D.A. Carson is doing a Daily Devotional Plan on this reading plan to, in his words,"assist the reader in discovering the riches of God's Word." I subscribed to the blog and they send me a daily e mail with his thoughts on the readings for the day. He also has a blog on The Gospel Coalition website called For the Love of God that you can check out.

My other goal is to read 6 books this year. I have tons of books sitting on my bookshelf that I "want" to read, but I just don't make the time. I'm happy to report that I have read 2 books already this year. Praise Him! I've read, Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller which was really good. I thought it was a great book to start the new year with. The second book I read was Don't Make Me Count To Three by Ginger Plowman. This is a MUST READ for any mom. She is extremely wise and very practical. I laughed out loud throughout the whole book!

I hope this gives you some fun resources to check out and I pray that the Lord will keep us faithful to Himself and His Word this year!

Love,
