On March 7, 2010, I felt God putting it on my heart to read the entire Bible. I made a commitment to follow through with this quest.
A little background; I have been a Christian all of my life, but I have not read the entire Bible. I have also not been completely on fire in my faith. I am fairly familiar with the structure of the Bible and the theme. However, I have a burning desire to read the entire Bible. I believe it is essential to deepening my faith and trust in my Lord. This, especially as of late, has been one of my greatest weaknesses in my Christian walk and I would like to change this.
I am very blessed. I have an amazing wife who is both beautiful and perfect for me! I also have a son who is healthy and a true delight! Quite often I feel like I do not deserve the blessings I have been given.
Even though I am truly blessed, I am a worry wart. I worry about everything. Some say it is due to one of my spiritual gifts. I have a mind for mathematics and science and with that I have obtained a degree in Aerospace Engineering. I quite often cannot see past the limitations of the subjects I have been educated in, however, when I see past these limitations and put my faith and trust in God, I am always amazed and excited at what faith can do! I long to experience this on a more regular basis, rather than just occasionally, but I get in the way.
I am tired of getting in the way of my faith. I want to draw closer to Christ, be able to fully rely on Him, allow myself to see past the laws of this world and see His hand working in my life.
I am signing my posts as “The BOY”. This stands for The Bible in One Year, but it also signifies how I see myself in my Christian walk. I feel as though a child who cannot get past their minute understanding of how vast the love and power of Christ really is.
I will be using an English Standard Version (ESV) Bible unless otherwise specified and will be reading the Bible in Chronological Order as specified by The One Year Bible Online.
