Despite my attempts last week, I didn’t catch up fully on my reading until later this week. It was really driving me nuts and throwing much out of whack in my mind because I knew that I was SIX days behind…and that really overwhelmed me.
I chunked out the reading and read in spurts throughout the course of two days, and mentally promised myself that if I could get back on track I would be able to sit down and read a ‘fluff’ book.
Motivation that apparently worked. I am actually a little bit ahead at the moment and also finished up a great book yesterday.
We’ve been reading through much of Psalms this week and it’s going much easier for me this time than the last reading through…for which I am very thankful! Laurianna also got a little bit behind in her reading, so the two of us have been encouraging each other along and trying to read together too. I am so proud of her for trying to keep up and do the challenge along with me! :)
