One day down!

Whew! All did NOT go according to plan today (what ever does?), but I didn't give up and I have now completed day one's prescribed reading.  In my exuberance to get started, combined with my pre-caffeine brain I read one chapter of EACH of the Gospels this morning instead of just Matthew 1.  This threw me off my timeline, in conjunction with waking up late, so I didn't get all 10 chapters in this morning.  I was contemplating tonight whether I'd bitten off more than I could chew: 10 chapters a day, plus a Beth Moore daily study, plus the 2-3 books I have going already...  "Away from me, Satan!"  My first priority MUST be the Scriptures...and not a pre-chewed, bite sized version, either. I'm in it for the meat: the real protein of 10 chapters a day!  And so I hunkered down and the time passed quickly and pleasantly.  I've decided that since the Psalms and Proverbs come in the middle, and Beth Moore was commending us to SPEAK Scripture, that I will read those two chapters aloud each day. Not only does this speak truth right back to me as I'm reading, it increases retention, puts the devil to flight, and blesses me all the more for receiving the Scriptures in multiple, simultaneous ways. So cool! So that's my day one... 29 more to go and then habit for this season! :)
