Finished the last chapter from yesterday in bed last night, and at 6:15 this morning I finished today's reading!! The Lord woke me up a little earlier than usual today, so I was able to finish it in good time. Thank You, Lord! And thank you, Kimberly, for praying for me. How humbling - and encouraging - to know that you pray for me by name every day. "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you...!" Caught up!

For me it has to be mornings, but I know a lot of people can't do it then. If you're too overwhelmed to catch up, just re-adjust your end date and stick with that. Otherwise, catch up a bit each day. You CAN do this!!! Just try to figure out what will work for you. For me it has to be mornings, but I know a lot of people can’t do it then.

Even though I am enjoying myself, I find myself falling behind, then catching up, then falling behind.... My mom is participating in the challenge with other members of our family and it is so hilarious, she was so afraid of falling behind, she has been reading ahead like crazy, she is already reading in Luke. My brother-in-law said that we need to hide her Bible. :) LOL! Thank you for your words of encouragement, they help a lot.

I can relate to many of them. I agree with asking whaaat? That doesn't make sense. Why would God require this then and that now? I am thank-ful that although my concetration is usually pretty poor, there have been times when it has been better than it has been in years. There were times when I would leave off and pick up again and wonder if I had already read the passage because it sounded familiar. There is alot of repetition. I am really enjoying this pace.

I read for 5 hours straight on Wednesday evening and caught up! :) I don't plan to get behind again, but I think if something like illness or a birthday comes up, I will give myself a little grace and commit to catching up asap. I wrote a lengthy update about this week's reading at my blog, and linked in the Mr. Linky so I won't repeat myself ad infinitum here! ;) Praying that you'll meet your goals this week!

I'm trying to stay 2 days ahead because my Tuesdays and Wednesdays I have back to back Bible studies and church Wed night. Like you said about Wed not reading, that is my fear, so I want to be prepared in case I get overwhelmed and don't get to it. So far that hasn't happened, but I want to be ready. I love doing this challenge with my husband! It's been fun talking about what we're learning together. It’s going well.
