As of today, I have read 6 days in a row. If you don't count Sunday. I didn't read Sunday. If I had, that would have been 7 days in a row. So, if we have to be a big stickler then I am only on a 2 day stretch right now---yesterday and today.
I intend to read on Sunday, but I justify not reading easily because I DO read the scriptures a lot on Sundays.
I read them in Sunday School, I take notes on them, I check cross references, I make comments about them to the class. So, I do get scripture reading in....just not personal and private.
As far as my "record" goes though, I have just glossed over Sunday and pretended it wasn't there. My all time record for reading every day without missing is 7 days. That included a Sunday. BUT, it was a Sunday I didn't go to church so it was like the "only religion" I got that day. So, that probably made it easier to read.
I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. As far as I'm concerned, I'm on a 6 day streak. I think I deserve it because I didn't read yesterday until I was in bed last night. That is my worst time of all to read! I didn't want to. I knew I was too tired to try to read scriptures AND something fun (my normal "treat" for when I go to bed). I brought my notebook and scriptures to bed with me though and did go ahead an read. (Thereby forfeiting my opportunity to read something fun because I was too tired.) Not even a 10 seconder, but a real life read. Amazing.
Tomorrow will be 7.
In my book...you are doing awesome! I think missing Sunday is totally justified. Why not CELEBRATE the days you succeed! I'm proud of you!
