Accountability for bible Readings - yikes

Accountability for bible reading . . . yikes!
Today, I got a phone call = from the same person who has called me every day for a week. A little annoying, actually - but it was a good call. Did I read the Bible today? It's my accountability partner - asking me about my Bible reading. Eight women, who have finally admitted that they are often too busy to read the Bible every day in a focused manner (they usually read it fairly haphazardly) are reading a chapter of Proverbs each day and journaling what strikes them (since today is the 30th, we all read Proverbs 30).

It's been good for this week - although some of us read other stuff, too. I came across so many verses that applied to stuff going on in my life. We started a notebook with pages dated 1 - 30 and each day, we moved to the next chapter - after writing a verse or two down. The next month, we will come back to that same chapter and target another verse to ponder. . . .

It's a good exercise to help get into God's word.
