sorting through the noise

I am embarking on a new journey. November is my favorite month of the year for many reasons but mainly it has become a month of special events. Something special has happened the last six or so Novembers and it has become dear to my heart to set that month apart to seek the Lord, weed out distractions & really spend the time preparing my heart to receive openly before the Lord. Yesterday I started a new challenge and it happens to end the last week in November. I am really excited to see how it turns out. For months I have felt a bit dry. Actually a lot dry. I often times only get bits and pieces of time through the day and my reading has turned from devotional/concordance/study time to zip through a few tags on facebook or check one blog. I have so many encouraging blogs I read that often times I feel a sense of being "fed in my spirit" and I neglect the Word of God to supply my true need. I listened to a teaching this week in the car by a woman who has 7 children. She said the most basic of information but really emphasized the need for us mothers to be nourished in the Word of God if we are to fully give of ourselves to our children and husbands in the most graceful and full hearted manor. So anyhow I saw someone else do this and thought I would give it a try. I have never attempted to read through scripture at a quick pace. I have actually opposed it thinking it would somehow diminish the value of what I was reading. However I am really excited to go through and see the Bible as a whole and really feed on the fuel that makes my spirit come alive. Anyone up to join me? Let me know if you do...
