I first started picking up the bible again when i was placed in a group home back at 16 years of age. I didnt read too much of it, in fact i only was able to finish the book of Genesis the whole time I was there. I stopped reading for awhile.
About when I turned 18 and was going through addiction I started picking up the bible again and “coding” linking scriptures as outlined in the NIV Bible.
I kept all the verses i had linked in a black book along with a few of my own personal prayers I had written down. Most of my prayers were out of desperation and Agony. I even came to ask God to take my very own life.
I kept reading little by little still fallowing the NIV linking scriptures outlines.
Now today, After reading the bible only as when I was in desperation I finished the book of Proverbs and Ecclesiasities.
I actually had been reading and meditating on the two books for about 5 to 6 months.
Today I opened it up again and when i was reading the book of proverbs it really hit home.
I flipped through every single book of the bible and slightly glanced over it as the more i was reaching the end of it I was feeling a sense of peace.
The most knowledge I have is in the Gospels of Jesus Christ. I have nearly no knowledge in any books fallowing that.
I have to say today however I have found myself in the word of god.
My goal is to read all the books in order from where i left off. That would be the book of acts.
