After a long hiatus in my reading, I have donned the glasses once again and have started reading more. I have even started trying to have a good go at the Old Testament once again - I stopped for a while and kinda made excuses - like I am reading a book that is going through a book in the Bible, so that counts right?
I shared this with Chooks at Prayer Meeting and she was like You sure you're not making excuses? I wasn't convinced until later when she was praying she prayed something like If it is Your will that Rowas reads Your Word more, I pray that You will help her...
OK, I get it. Hehe thanks for the nudge eh.
So I went home and read Habakkuk and finished reading Daniel. I didn't really get the last few chapters of Daniel - it was kinda like Revelation but more cryptic. But I got through it and I can kinda see the parallels with ol Revelation - so it was pretty interesting in the end.
What I liked about the book of Daniel were the narratives that Daniel had written. I found them quite easy to read, because Daniel's life was pretty interesting! The whole thing about Nebuchadnezzar turning into a cow amazed me. I never knew that in the Bible it actually said that he got hairy too! That would have been a sight to see!! And the fact that Danny boy could read dreams too? That is just COOL! I wonder if this ever happened to him...

Anyways, it is great to get back into the Word once again. My challenge now is to read the major prophets starting with Isaiah, then Jeremiah, then Ezekiel.
Other reads include...
Hand Me Another Brick - by Chuck Swindoll, and
Prayer - by Philip Yancey
Lord, I pray that you will help me keep reading Your Word and that You will keep revealing more of Who You are as well as who You want me to be too.
