A year in the making. I finally did it! 📖 #scripture #bible #prayer #biblestudy #pray #VerseOfTheDay #god pic.twitter.com/4FnSgJ2q48“Some days were kind of a slog,” Heaton added. “You know, just going through it and pushing through and just feeling like ‘I don’t even know what any of this is about.’ Mostly, Old Testament stuff.”
Heaton admitted that she did not give up, however. She said she enjoyed identifying all the “names for God in the Bible,” sharing she found and wrote down “provider, healer, banner, shepherd, righteousness, sovereign, the beginning, the end,” among others. “It’s a great way to start your day,” Heaton encouraged those watching her video. “There were times that I didn’t do it for a few days and then I had to do a big catch-up. But it was always the best to just plow through every day. Set that time aside and set some time aside to meditate on it and pray.”Heaton said she plans to read through the Bible again in 2023.
