Catching up on Checking in

I've been on schedule the last 2 mondays... I just didn't get a chance to post here! As much as the biblein90days.org people encourage reading in small chunks each day, I feel like I get the most out of reading sessions if I read for an hour or more completely interrupted. The last 2 weekends involved some heavy-duty "catch-up" sessions and those left me feeling more like I understood and absorbed more than when I catch a little here and a little there throughout the day.

That being said, having to hurry-up-and-catch up the last few weekends is making this whole process stressful. I am pledging to not get behind this week and get back to my reading one-hour-every-day schedule that I was able to maintain in the beginning.

I have de-prioritized this challenge a little in the past weeks which is what pushes me into the weekend flurry mode. Making sure dinner is on the table by 6-6:30 or finishing another 30 Psalms? Dinner wins. Having a mini-date with Mike who I haven't seen all day or trudge through the rest of Isaiah? Mike wins. Not to say that this challenge is not important to me, but I have realized that I have plenty of wiggle room in my schedule to not fall behind but still keep my priorities in line.

That being said, I'm 1/3 of the way through the reading for today already which is a great start for the week!
