Hi!
Today is the first day of my Bible reading plan on YouVersion. The plan itself is called "Eat this Book: One Year Bible with Daily Psalm." I'm reading it in the New Living Translation for the most part. If there is anyone out there who reads this and would like to find me on there, my name is weirdhannah99.
As I was trying to choose a reading plan that would work for me, I decided to do a year-long, full Bible plan. I don't want to have to bog myself down everyday with hours of reading. I want to be able to enjoy this. I chose this one for a few reasons:
1) It is supposed to go through every book only once.
2) There are approximately 4 chapters of a book of the Bible each day, followed by one Psalm.
3) The Psalms are really long, so I appreciate reading one chapter each day. If I did a straight read-through, it would take forever to get through the Psalms. And, as much as I think they are beautiful verses, I think reading straight through them would be a little tedious at the time.
Today, I'll be reading Genesis 1, 2, and 3, followed by the first Psalm.
I just saw that there is a listening option on there! I'm a little leery of listening to readings of books, especially since a lot of times, its a computer voice speaking. I just plugged in my headphones to see if this was the case, and it isn't! It actually sounds quite nice. There is a grand possibility that I will use this option to save my eyes (especially when they're tired, like today).
I think reading along while listening to the recording of those four chapters just took me less than thirty minutes. Thirty minutes a day is definitely do-able for a year. It was actually enjoyable!
