On to the Gospels

So recently I was at a His House event and a minister asked people to think of their favorite verses about prayer. I tried to think of mine but I realized I couldn't remember any! I figured out that all my reading of the law kinda pushed out my memories of the New Testament! So back to the Gospels I go!

I gotta be honest. I don't think I'm going to reach my goal of finishing the bible before the end of summer. However, I'm not really sure that this was a good goal in the first place, because I have reached a different goal which I think is far better. I actually enjoy reading the Bible again! Honestly, I felt like I had heard the whole scripture throughin and throughout repeated to me ever the years of my life in the Christian Church. When I read, I didn't find many new things or challenging things. I would have to read commentaries, the archeology bible, or completely other works of literature in order to grasp anything new out of the same scripture I knew.

However, I know I may be a bad christian for saying this, but I am actually and finally enjoying this experience and the Lord is teaching me a lot through it. I feel more versed at the scripture, feel more confident in locating scripture again, and it's sticking with me in my head. My hope is that I continue to find more nuggets of joy out of these words, that they continue to find new meaning in my life, and that the life giving words of the Lord will continue to show me how to live for Christ.
