Good afternoon ladies!! I am new to the group and Gace. My name is Michelle mother of one and a nurse by profession. I am getting back to church from a hiatus of too long. I have never read Bible front to back and have attempted a few times. Excited to join all of you on the journey and look forward to meeting new people and making new friends with in Grace.
So where is everyone in the readings and how much catching up do I have to do? Any suggestions ladies?

Hey, Michelle! Welcome! We are currently around chapter 10 of Leviticus, but I have copied/pasted part of an email I sent the group last week with the books of the Bible breakdown, so hopefully that will help.
How much do I need to read a day?
First of all, you don’t have to read a specific amount each day, or even read every day. You can read on your schedule and comprehension level. But to give you an idea, while reading the Pentateuch (the first 5 books of the bible), it’s about 3 chapters a day (187 chapters in 59 days).
How do I get caught up?
You can jump in where we are now and discuss along with us, then read Genesis and the first part of Exodus separately or listen to them on a bible app while you’re driving, doing dishes or laundry, etc. Or you could even tack them on at the end of the year!
Also, anyone can post threads on what they're currently reading, so please feel free to do so. We could definitely use some more chatter!

I hate to disagree with you, Ashlee, but starting your Bible reading in Leviticus? Ugh. Good way to give up quickly! I'd recommend starting in Genesis and just reading as much as you can, even if you don't finish the Pentateuch. I know all scripture is important, but Leviticus is like the (fill in the blank with the vegetable you hate the most) of the Bible meal. I eat it because it's good for me, not because I like it.
