Hi Everyone

[MilaC]

You know when you get that internal pull to read your bible and you don't listen to it? I have been ignoring it for years but due to a chain of events over the last 6 months I have picked it back up and opened my bible. I'm building my relationship with HIM and it is a work in progress. My goal for now is to read my bible every day and replace doomscrolling online with reading.

welcome to the forums. Good luck! I remember the first time i read the bible. It was at work while being a flagger for the oil and gas company. so we had plenty of downtime. It was 12 hour shifts, so i read the bible while at work while listening to the CB Radio for the truck drivers announcing they was coming through. Took me 3 months to read the bible from cover to cover.

Thank you for the welcome. 3 months? That is impressive. It is going to take me a little bit longer. I've been reading a lot of random verses and taking notes. I have not decided on a reading plan or if I should just start with Genesis. Did you read it cover to cover?

yup, i read it cover to cover like a story the first time i read it. Actually i had read the NT a few years prior. But when i decided to read it cover to cover, i started with Genesis and read it all the way through revelations, 3 months later.
I then picked up the Apocrypha, Book of Mormon, Gnostic Texts, Dead Sea Scrolls, after that.

Welcome, Mila!

I'm with you regarding the doomscrolling. Trade in the stress of that for the peacefulness of reading the Bible.

I've done the Bible in a year plan cover to cover several times. This year I started with Matthew, will finish the NT and then do something with the OT, not sure what yet.
