Hello,
Well it’s been a little longer than I would have liked since
my last post. Life was crazy for a while and then I crashed and burned. And now here I sit on my bed on New Year’s
Eve in my pajamas nursing a cough. I
plan on ushering in the New Year fast asleep. This year exhausted me.
Before I go to sleep though I wanted to share a New Year’s
Resolution. I don’t usually make them, but I will this year. I have been
waiting for this for months. Back in 2007 I had a calendar and read the Bible
cover to cover in a year. It was a very moving year for me. It was also a very
emotional year for me and reading the Bible grounded me. I had been reading it
every day, but it was usually just a chapter a day and I would move all over
after I finished each Book. I had been thinking about reading it Cover to Cover
again.
And so I invite you to join me. I would love that! This year I am going to read it chronologically.
I will be posting on instagram (Jennie5973), twitter (hugsnsmile), and facebook
every day the verses that I am reading. #BibleInAYear
I strongly encourage everyone to do this at least once. The
Bible is an Instruction Book for life. It HAS all of the answers that we are
looking for. Sometimes it’s not what you want to hear, but it’s all there.
Reading that whole Bible changed my life.
Carving out that time to spend with God every day was such a blessing. I
can’t wait to get started again and see how it changes me in 2015.

But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
