Read with Me Check-In
Hey, people! How are we doing? I must admit I didn’t read my Bible this week. I was almost caught up in one of the books last week and making great strides toward catching up in the others. Then this week happened and I got nowhere fast.
The problem isn’t that I didn’t have time to read; it’s that I read other things. This reminds me of a Lenten quote I read recently:
“Lent isn’t about what you give up; it’s about what you make time for.”
The same is true of fasting and simple daily priorities. There is no reason I can’t read my Bible more, if I really want to. So, do I want to? Too often I choose to read a novel or blogs or other less important things instead. What does that say about my priorities? It matters not what I sacrifice, only what I make time for.
So I’ll not ask who is caught up with their schedules. Some of you are doing the 90-day challenge, so if you’ve kept up, you’re nearly done! But I don’t really care how many boxes we’ve checked off. I just want to know if you’re still reading, if you’re deliberate about your time and making room for God’s Word.
For the next two weeks, our check-in will be on different blogs. My life is a little crazy and I GREATLY appreciate these ladies who have volunteered to help out. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Rachel offered to take next Friday (Good Friday). Rachel, can you get us your blog? For some reason I don’t have you on my list! 
The week after that (April 9th) you can check in at Becca’s blog: This Crazy Life.
THANKS, again, ladies!!
