30 Day Bible Reading Challenge

Motivation. I've needed it since I was a kid, my mom could testify to that, and I haven't grown out of needing it as an adult as well. With me, if I'm not motivated I fall behind, procrastinate, and am too lazy to even begin a project. The little kid in me still needs stickers, rewards, candy, and prizes to get me moving.

For the longest time I've been desiring to read my Bible every day. I've tried reading it in the morning because I want to give God the best part of my day but it hasn't worked out. My little guy wants his breakfast, the kitchen has to be cleaned before we can eat breakfast, the milk spilled on the floor, the dog is barking, the phone rings, the laundry is buzzing, the floor is sticky, and before I know it I've hit the pillow and missed my quiet time, again.

I know that I do have the time during the day to read my Bible but the difficulty lies in setting the time aside to do it. I also need to determine to put the dog outside and set my little guy up with a longlasting activity - um, like a movie or a nap - so there can be a little bit of stillness and quiet.

For the month of April I decided I would make a committment to reading my Bible every day for at least 15 minutes. 15 minutes because I should be able to find at least 15 minutes in a day to read my Bible and it shouldn't be too overwhelming for me. All the while I'll also be developing a good habit that I can continue with and add more time to as I go along.

Want to Join Me?

Please join me and challenge yourself to spending at least 15 minutes in your Bible for the 30 days of April. Snag this button and place it on your blog and leave your link below so we can encourage and motivate one another throughout the month.

At the end of the month, all of those who have persevered with me will be added to my drawing. On April 30th I'll draw 3 winners. Prizes are a suprise and will be revealed at the end of the month!
