change in quiet time

friends,
What do you do when you finish your current study?
At the beginning of this year I started at Genesis and worked my way into Nehemiah. Then I spent about a month reading a few specific Psalms over and over, trying to drill them into my brain. Then I decided to re-read Philippians through Jude. Last night I finished Jude, and when I shut my Bible I thought, "now what?"

I love Romans, but I'm also intimidated by it. It's so jam-packed with crucial information. I'm dedicating the rest of 2011 to Romans (let's be honest, I could spend a whole year learning Romans) and I'm so excited to see God teach me and stretch me during my quiet times.

I just ordered this study guide and I'm SO pumped to get started. Anyone want to go through the book with me, or borrow it when I'm done?

What are you studying right now? I'd love to know!
If you're nervous about keeping up w/ reading the Word over Thanksgiving break... girl, I feel ya. I *always* struggle with reading by Bible when I'm surrounded by the extra distractions that vacations bring.   At home, I read the Word in the evening. But I know my family will probably watch movies or play games at night, so I'll strive to do my quiet time in the morning while people are waking up and taking showers. So my advice to you is - anticipate distractions and plan ahead.

love,
Laura


p.s. remember our study on identity? this song is such a good reminder!
