... you just have to accept that something isn't going to work.
I am just not comfortable blogging about my experience of reading the Bible as I had intended to do. I don't know why I'm not, I'm just ... not. Maybe it's too much pressure? Like having to write an essay and submit it to someone else? Maybe reading the Bible is a much more personal thing than I had expected? I think writing in a private journal will be fine. But writing here isn't. I feel such great resistance to it and it's putting me off doing the reading and this is, after all, counter-productive.
So, yes, I might blog about it one day. But I'm not going to be doing any regular, daily posts for the forseeable future.

...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.

I can understand that. I'm not sure I would want to share with the world everything I learn about myself and God while reading the Bible. Probably cause sometimes what I learn about myself isn't always pretty.
The Bible you bought sounds really intersting. Let me know if you think it is helping you read everyday...I still struggle with that.
I can understand that. It is about your personal relationship with God. However, sometimes you may share something you have read, which would be great. But don't put yourself under pressure to post.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I am not a blog planner (yet!) but I am looking forward to the post you mentioned.
Back in my early days as a Christian, I wanted to share everything I learned from the bible and my relationship with the Lord. But very quickly, it began to feel too intimate. My relationship with the Lord was too often of a very private nature. I compare it to an intimate life with a spouse. It is between 2 and I realize a lot of people talk about their intimate life, but quite frankly I feel it is something that really should be between just those 2.
There are many times to share God's word, do bible studies together, etc., but there is also something about your private relationship with the Lord that is intimate-for just the two of you. Does that make sense? (Or am I just rambling, lol?)
