I've been doing a lot of soul searching the past month or so and have really been looking at different areas of my life that may need some changing. If you believe in Type A or Type B personalities, I am DEFINITELY a Type B. As a Type B, the biggest issue I face is lack of self-discipline. There are definitely areas of my life that I want to change such as getting in shape, living well, and diving into God's Word. The key to success in these areas is discipline. Personally, I have a lot of determination, but if I don't have the discipline to back it up where does that leave me? In the past this has left me with multiple failed attempts to read the Bible all the way through and weight loss attempts abandoned. It's time to make a change.
Today is the day. This is not a change based off of pure emotion, but one based off of decisions that act as answers to a bigger question, "what happens if I don't?" My first assignment has been simple...read the Bible starting in the New Testament and read until God says to stop. This is not a race but an opportunity to start tuning into God's voice. Make sure to write down what you hear him telling you. I will start blogging some of these thoughts in a new series of posts called Exploring the Word. This should be fun! ~Rachael

I applaud your Bible reading goal. I have long wanted to do this also and never got around to it. I am taking a Faith Bible Institute course as a gift from my mom. It really feels good to finally be accomplishing this goal. I look forward to reading more about your journey.
