A New Year
School started yesterday morning for our household. We are back into the grind of getting up at 4:45 and going to bed before 9:00. Kayla has to be in bed by 7:30 with lights out by 8:00.
Getting up at 4:45 has been tough so far. But it does give me the opportunity to read my Bible after I shower. I can eat and read in a leisurely manner. That is a much better way to start my day than the normal "rushing around trying to get everyone out the door" routine of last school year.
Starting my morning in the Word and finishing the day in the Word has been a good thing. I have found that if I systematically read through a book at a time that I learn more. I am reading a different book in the morning (usually from the New Testament) than I do in the evening (usually from the Old Testament). Plus I read one Psalm at each sitting. At some point I plan to incorporate a noon scripture reading as well, perhaps reading a chapter of Proverbs at that time.
