A New Adventure

This year, I want to get all the way through the Bible. For the last few years I have tried to do just that—I’ve started, gotten through a few books, and then every time, I’ve given up. It’s depressing for me to think about it, but that’s just how I’m made. I’m a very lazy person who would prefer to do as little as possible. But through the last few years, I have felt that I need to get over that, and this last year I’ve found numerous reasons to do so.

Last year, my mother found this podcast that goes all the way through the Bible. I almost did it with her then, but I chickened out. She really has been extremely blessed by it, and encouraged my father and brother to go through it with her. My dad was behind by a few months I think, but that didn’t matter to him; he just got to be able to listen to it on a daily bases.

The podcast can be found here. I’m not exactly sure how to work it (I’m kind of new to podcasts) or you can listen to it on their player.

So far I have really enjoyed listening to it. The guy who reads the Bible there, Brian, he first reads, then he sometimes talks about what he just read then he prays, and then people call in for prayer requests. This is really good for me, including this last part because I’ve really been feeling like I need to hear new prayer requests from people. I’ve always felt that that was a job that I wanted to do in my life. My mom once called me when I was really little a “little prayer warrior”. I had to ask what that meant, but when I understood, I really liked that name for me. It meant that I could make a difference in this world, and that difference just by praying. I have since forsaken that title, but I want to take it up again. And I hope that many of you out there would want to do the same thing. There really isn’t enough prayer in this world. I say that we should always be listening, talking to, asking of and praising our God. He wants to hear us, and not just when we want something of Him. That is one reason why I wanted to listen to this podcast. Because I can hear about all those people who need God, and I can pray for them! And I encourage all of you to pray for our brothers and sisters in the Lord, and for us all to praise God as He should be praised! I also would like to ask for all of you to pray for me as I try to make it through the Bible once again. Are you going to do the same thing? I would love to pray for you too in this or any other thing that you need prayer for!
