Yeah For Accomplishing Goals

Mark and I finally finished the Old testament for the year of 2008. We read about 3 1/2 pages everyday to meet our goal of reading it in a year. Now we can honestly say we read the whole bible. There are many Christians that read the bible through and through it will be very nice to have that common interest, and that is the love of the Bible. We are super excited for our next goal for 2009 and that is reading The Book Of Mormon in Spanish as a family. I'll be honest I have always been shy speaking Spanish by Mark. One of the things that I loved when we were dating is that he could speak Spanish. I knew I really wanted my children to learn Spanish what better way then to have them be taught by someone who speaks it, right? I've taken a few years of Spanish and no where near fluent but have a desire to be. Anyhow my shyness was really rooted by pride, the fact that he's not Hispanic and speaks well and that I am and don't. It seriously has taken me 2 years to warm up and have a degree of humility to be taught and corrected by my husband. The Lord has helped me out magnificently! And not to mention Mark is so gentle and encouraging to my learning in progress. Anyhow we are excited with are scripture goal for this year.
