Getting in the Word

At the beginning of the year, Jordan and I decided to read through the Bible chronologically. I've never actually finished something like that because I always fall behind and then give up.

Well, lets say that this time was no different. I was able to keep up with the schedule for a few weeks, then got sick, missed some days, got busy, blah blah blah.

Anyways, I recently decided to jump back on board with the plan and pick up where I left off (you can do that??!!) But my method has changed a bit and I wanted to share.

Basically, in the morning I listen to the audio version of the passage while I'm doing my hair. It's usually 2-3 chapters which is just about right as far as time. ((Not to mention the added benefit of me doing something other than throwing my hair up in a bun/ponytail)). Then afterwards I'll jot down some notes about anything I noticed or want to remember.

Hearing the Bible read aloud is kind of different than reading it because I can more easily pick up on things that are repeated and I'm able to follow along with the story as if someone was talking to me about it.

I've really enjoyed this way of soaking in more of God's Word, and hopefully I can keep it up!

Do you have any interesting ways of connecting with God and His Word? I'd love to hear about it!

P.S. I use ESVBible.org to listen to the audio and YouVersion.com has audio recordings for the Bible in many different translations.
