As the saying goes...

So last week I had an interview with Gull Lake Ministries. Its a youth camp for the whole family. Time wise it doesn't seem to fit into my schedule (i have a lot of classes i need to take) but I enjoyed having a WHOLE interview in which I talked ONLY ABOUT GOD... It was amazing (even tho i felt as though I babbled on a lot ). One of the interview questions was, "how many times a week do you read your bible?" and I asked Him does that include church. (seriously though). He kinda "um, and er'ed around for a second, but said it doesn't matter. So I told Him on my own 1-2 times a week (which is a good week honestly) but I would like to get that number up to 3-6 times a week.

So He challenged me. He said a saying my mother has said to me before. AS THE SAYING GOES "It takes 21 days to make or break a habit." ..The connection here is that there are 21 chapters in John...

So this was something He was doing along with some youth and young adults at his church. So i took tht challege I am on Day 6 and I feel like im going strong.

So i want to make the same challenge to you. I have shyed away from reading the bible sometimes because I dont understand and get frustrated. but not reading surely isnt going to grant me understanding. And there are other reason also that "come up", but all in all its an avoidance we as a people do. But its written in code and in parrables so that things can be revealled and so that things can be made simple. We just have to accept its no always going to be simple.

So im posting this to challenge you to start a habit and instead of goign to the next chapter after you finish go to reference text and look up your things. It has been good to go to sleep each night with the word on my mind. As I work on my personal consistency in my prayer life and in my reading. I hope to inspire you to grow with me!
