Catching Up and Revising

It's once again time to update you on my resolution this year.  I'm about halfway through the second reading of my Bible.

This time, it is not going so smoothly. I found a reading plan online that I thought I would love. It breaks each day of the week into a different portion of the Bible that you get to read. Monday is Gospels; Tuesday -Poetry; Wednesday- Prophecy ...and so on.

As it turns out, I really dislike it. REALLY dislike it. It's super hard to get a feel of what's going on as you try to remember something from a week ago to build on. Mostly, I feel disjointed and frustrated.
Because of this feeling, I've found myself missing more readings than before. At one point, I was probably about 4 or five days behind! AH!

Yesterday, though, I caught up. Today, I'm still on track. BUT! I've decided to switch things up. Instead of reading one type of Biblical literature on a given day, I'm going to finish the category before I move on to the next one. SO - it'll look more like from now until the end of July will be Prophecy, then Epistles, then...then...then.  I think it'll be easier to pay attention and see the connection between the different books.

This time through I feel like I haven't learned much. I guess some of the themes like remembrance and grace have been reinforced again, but nothing has been an 'ah hah' moment or anything else.

Hopefully with this new switch up, it'll be easier to make sense of things again. I guess I have learned that context is an extremely important part of understanding!

How have your resolutions been going?
