Week 13 Summary

It has been a long time where I have provided summaries of what has happened. I must confess that making a steadfast commitment to read God's word in 365 days is a very difficult task in deed. I believe it is easy if a specific time is dedicated for the Lord to spend time with him, however, once you start falling behind, it seems like a huge wrestle to try and stay on course.

Praise the Lord RL has been able to stay on course in reading God's word everyday. May we continue to remember her in prayer to provide her strength to maintain her momentum! Out of the 4 of us contributors, her dedication has definitely been able to constantly remind us in better disciplining ourselves to stay with our commitment.

As for the rest of us, we (or I at the very least) must confess that we have not been able to keep up-to-date. Sharon is around 1 week behind (after chasing up and continues to strive and close that gap), I am around 3 days behind, and Jot.. err ... I think Jot needs to put more dots behind his name to describe where he is at. I have been trying to encourage him to pick up his game to catch up, or even just "write off" what he has not read and just continue on in the schedule.

Busy lives lead to many temptation. I must admit that during the 13 weeks, it is easy to use busy lives as an excuse to set aside this commitment. May the Lord continue to guide us 4 to have wisdom in prioritising our responsibilities so there is sufficient time to read His word.

13 down, 39 to go! Don't give up ...
