It is done. I did it. I really can’t believe it.
I read the bible, cover to cover, in 88 days.
I feel sort of lost now. What is there to accomplish? What can I do with my life? I want to do something great. Will that ever happen?
Maybe a tad over dramatic. But that is really how I feel. I feel like I accomplished something that is difficult to accomplish. I want to do it again.
Not read the bible in 90 days. I mean I will do that again some time. I just mean I want to accomplish something again. I want to work towards something. It feels good.
I really suggest this challenge to everyone. It was hard. There were times I wanted to give up. But I pressed on. I learned things about God that I knew in theory but understand in a different way now. I saw more of who God is and who Jesus is than I ever saw in my word studies and chapter or so a day reading. There is a big picture in the bible. There are themes. It is inspiring.
Thank you to Mom’s Toolbox for providing the encouragement. Being placed in a group was great. It was good to have a place to check in and a place to hear where other people were at. I also joined up with Twitter about halfway through and that was really helpful too.
Now onto other things. I wonder what other things to do?
Twitter was instrumental in helping me finish, the encouragement and accountability were a blessing to me.
Congratulations on a job well done!
Your fellow Spring ’11 grad,

Congrats on finishing!!
Wow–I’m impressed! I’m still trying to be consistent with a few chapters a day. I’m also curious…About how much time did you spend on it each day?
The reading is supposed to take about an hour a day. I guess that would be possible if you have nice quiet time to yourself. My schedule involved reading in bits and pieces throughout the day. Some days I woke up early to read and read in the evening. Mostly I would steal a few hours each Saturday and Sunday to read as much as I could.
Congrats on finishing, too! What made me stick with it was that I had made a public commitment. I felt that I had to finish.
