I’m finding the only way to read is to do it,, i know that is ironic but I schedule time in my day for absolutely EVERYTHING else yet somehow I ignore what is most precious to my existence. I have a very dab will do you mentality. I blame it on many things: “I was never taught”, “I don’t have the time”, “My kids are too crazy”, but in all honesty I don’t take the time. God has given us all the same 24 hours. It’s not whether or not we have the time, it’s how we make the time we have.

So after I ripped the band-aid off to my husband and prayed with a very repentant heart, more came out than I ever expected. Including neglecting my kids from time to time for things I find more important.

Now not that I have all the answers, but I have committed to setting aside time for my Bible & God (right after homeschooling every morning before 9), my husband (every thursday night for an at home date night), and my girls (every day for a “consistent” homeschooling time and less tv watching). Now if I can just schedule time for me in there I may be well rounded.

But I have 4 days down and i’m doing pretty good, but off to read Job (since i’m going chronological)

“Part of it is familiarity, part is laziness, part is lack of discipline, and part sin and the sum is I don’t read the Bible.”

We ultimately do what we want to do. That is the epitome of Free Will and probably a quote from the matrix somewhere.

Say what you will we don’t read the bible because we don’t want to take away from something else either by choice or lack of choice.

Now How to fix that? Yeah, I don’t have a clue other than make like Nike and Just do it. ( I love 80′s cliches)
