It has been a goal of mine to read through the entire Bible. At this point, I have read most of it, but never all the way through from cover to cover. I have started many reading plans on my Bible app, and have studied out numerous chapters, but I have never started in Genesis and read through Revelation.

When we first moved from Florida, I was having a pretty rough time adjusting. Now, don’t get me wrong – I was super excited to be near family and so grateful to see them more regularly.

I can be really involved in the information and honestly enjoying it – but, then, I hear something absolutely amazing that I need to read about – right this very instant – so I set aside my partially finished book to (hopefully) come back to at some point. I’m going to work on that in 2017…
