It did take me a little while longer than expected, but I have completed the entire bible! Before the challenge I was almost completely unable to read my bible by myself and was spending no time at all with God in "private time". The challenge has helped me realise the importance of spending time alone with God and has helped me discover so much more about my God.
I have learnt so much about life over this period and I thank all the people who helped me reach my goal.

Well, we all know how important it is to stay commited. Well, I was doing the challenge every day like crazy and not getting nearly enough out of it (don't get me wrong, my whole life would not be the same without this challenge but we can here the joys of this when I finish). Well my leader (bible study leader, not connected to challenge but somehow found out I was doing it) said not to read it like its a homework sort of thing, even if it takes longer than 90 days I should read slower, well I took his advice and I'm acctually reading the bible at a faster rate than 12 pages. Which is good. So yes, I think when I finish the challenge I will exit a more mature Christian who reads the bible at least once a day, which was hard before I started. Well, I have to get back to my homework.

Hi guys,
I am back from an overseas holiday, but I'm upset because my parents (i'm only 14 years old)said I could not take my bible [i was going to a country that has freedom of religion too(malaysia)], and my church conference was too demanding so I had no time at all to read the bible during that, but now im back, i maybe 15 days behind but I will keep going on, this does mean my estimate finish date is the 27th of September, instead of the 17th like it was going to be. I am getting so much out of my reading, well as much as a 14 year old late at night with no other bible reference book or other older person doing it with me can. Have an awesome day everyone out there and I'll speak again soon!

Benny Hinn has come "down-under" and I think he really spoke into my life about my furture and coming out of my past. I can't wait till I can look at myself in 4 years time and see where I've come from and where I'm going because of this very challenge and my church. I cannot wait to pull up at the gates of day 100 (I'm spending ten days away in a country where bibles cannot be taken into) and look back and see the life I've left behind and am going into for the lord. God Bless!

Today is day 4. I haven't read my passage for today but I have been keeping up with the reading. I am really starting to change my opinion towards the bible, it is getting easier for me to pick it up and just read it, without the whole "there's something interesting on TV" argument with myself. Well, that's all from me, God bless!

Well todays the day I decided to sign up for the 90 day bible reading.
I am a teenager living in Australia and I have no support network around me to help but I'm really committed to finishing this. I looked at the first reading amount, and let me just say it looked really intimidating, 15 chapters in one day, thats craziness. I gues it'm important for me to finish this challenge because I do not live in a christian home. I can't wait till I can say I stuck through it and finished my challenge, even though I do have to go away to a country that will not let me take a bible, I will stick by my promise, except it will take me 100 days (I'm overseas for 10 days) instead of 90. Well, see you on the other side.
