Amen.

The last word of the Bible..."Amen". 

Websters defines that word as meaning "An expression used at the end of prayers, and meaning 'So be it'.  At the end of a creed, it is a solemn observation of belief.  When it introduces a declaration, it is equivalent to truly and verily.  To approve warmly, to concur in heartily or emphatically; to ratify."

After studying this book, I was surprised at the amount of hope I still have.  Revelation promises some really terrible things for those that do not believe in Christ Jesus, which is scary when I consider the people I know who are not saved.  But knowing that doesn't leave me desperate...it has, however, stirred up fresh realization that I have a part to play in God's story.  To live in a way that reflects my relationship with Jesus so that others will want to come to know Him too.  To keep studying His Word, letting it filter through my thick skull and letting it penetrate my heart.

So with only two days to go till our "challenge" is over...I decided today that I didn't want to stop.  I want to continue this daily reading with anyone who wants to continue with me!!  So I found this reading plan for the Old Testament in a year.

I'm going to start in January, so - if you want to join me on this - would you mind sending me a quick email or posting to the blog?  I'd just like to see if I should keep posting on this site.

Thanks for reading along with me this year!!  :)
