The Infamous New Year Resolution...

Let's be honest, we have all made one of these before, and we have all likely failed at most, if not all, of them. Still, though, it is always good to acknowledge what changes you would like to make in yourself and then make an honest effort to achieve it.

This year is going to be the year that I read the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelations, every single word. On top of that I have decided to make an entry in my journal each day about the scripture I covered. I was inspired by our church's SOAP journal, which outlines a reading plan for the 365 days of the year, and a journaling methodology using S (Scripture), O (Observation), A (Application), and P (Prayer). 26 days into the year, and I am proud to announce I am actually on track!

It has been a little tough some days to find the motivation to sit down and devote the time to do it, but it has been more rewarding than I could have thought possible, mainly because I have tried this before with no set plan and have failed miserably. I can only hope that I continue on this long journey with the same commitment that I have now because the end result would be a huge transformation for me. Please pray that this will be a life changing event for me and keep me accountable with my progress if you get a chance. 7% down, only 93% of the Bible left to go! Deep breath Holly....
