This week at church Tyler stated something that really hit home. He asked us when the last time we sat down with God and studied his word for hours. As a student for essentially everyday of my life thus far, I have spent countless hours cramming for tests and exams. Now, that isn't to say that was fun or enjoyable at all. However, it was a priority. The week of exams, I clear my schedule and study hard because I want to do well.
So I am claim to want to "do well" for the Lord, but I have yet to force myself to sit down and really learn his Word, so that I can be ready for the "tests and exams" of life that come my way. I need to make this my main priority. Thus, I plan to require myself to really take time to do this occasionally and I am recruiting your help to do it. I need to be held accountable for this. So by the end of November, I will have spent a chunk of time just studying God's word. I would love to have some company or some people to just do the same. I will post more details of my plans in the near future.

Cramming for the Test

I understand what you are talking about. It seems like I just don't have the time to put in the time to study God's Word. My goal for the upcoming weeks is to start taking 5 minutes a day from each big task for the day, such as a homework assignment, I have to do and add them up to make some time to put studying the bible. You maybe could make this work for you. I plan to start this tactic next week and maybe I'll be successful!
