So my director and friend from my staff team decided he enjoyed it so much last year that he would ask us to try to read the Bible in one year. To be honest, I've never done this before nor was I excited to hear the suggestion. I like going deep and dwelling, not surfacing and speeding. But God has been using it to enlighten me and encourage me when and where it's been needed.
I started going through the plan on my YouVersion app on my phone and then a friend of mine put me on to their website, youversion.com Since I already had it on my phone, I didn't have to register (not that it would cost anything anyways). So I signed in and there was my profile from my phone! This has been such a sweet encouragement to me as it keeps me accountable to staying in the Word. For me, organization is essential to getting things done and this keeps me organized! I tell the ladies I disciple "you can't just shoot arrows in the air and expect to hit something; you need a target to aim at, a technique to shooting, and the training to succeed."
Youversion.com has a plethora of Bible reading plans to choose from, check-boxes to mark off what you've read and more! It allows you to bookmark, highlight, create private or public notes, share the scripture on social sites, and even see what your friends are doing. I strongly encourage you to consider using this if you think your Quiet Times could stand to grow and improve.
