This challenge is definitely living up to its name. It's a challenge. I don't consider myself a slow reader but I'm not a speed reader either. It takes me about 45 min - 1 hr to get through the daily assignment.
For some reason, I missed Friday last week and I had to make up for it on Sunday. THAT is not the biz trying to make up days so I vow I'll never miss a day again. It's way too hard to make it up.
Some things I've noticed. When I'm having a hard time sleeping, I'll just get up and read my scriptures. Most mornings is when I like to do my reading. When I don't get it done in the mornings, I find myself unable to fall asleep until I can get the assignment for the day read. I really love that.
I found that in reading such a big dose of the scriptures daily, it's easier for me to find sleep at night. My mind is not racing all over my life and what I didn't get done, but instead rests on some of the principles I just read about or the people's lives from the scriptures.
I have to agree with my friends. The people in the Book of Mormon have become real to me. Again. I love it.
Although, this is a difficult challenge, I enjoy the little blessings that come with it.
