BIY 2016, Dec 31- THIS IS IT! & a Special Message from Mandy

Dec 31 - Revelation 19:6 - 22:21

---

YOU DID IT!

Did you think you'd make it here? 

Maybe you cruised through in 365 days, and maybe you limped along, skipping days here and there, and you're arriving at this place well after a year? Either way, YOU MADE IT! As you close the pages of your Bible today, knowing you've read every one of God's Words on the pages of Scripture, take a moment to breathe it all in. 

You committed to this in 2016 and you saw. it. through. Friend, that is HUGE! I {Mandy} pray that as you wrestled through the difficult passages, held tight to the comforting passages, and saw the love story of God for His people on every page, that your relationship with Jesus has grown exponentially. I pray that today, as you close your Bible for the last time in the BIY program, that you are not the same person you were when you began 360+ days ago. I pray you're made new. Transformed. 

I also pray that as you read about God's plan of salvation from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation that you saw yourself in every word, every line. Because God had YOU in mind with every word of scripture, with His perfect plan to rescue His people. 

Don't let this be where you stop, though. It may feel weird after following this plan for a year to suddenly have no schedule to follow. Please JOIN US in 2017 as we memorize 50 scripture passages. This will be a fun, amazing way to hide God's Word in our hearts and prepare ourselves for whatever the enemy will throw our way in 2017 (and rest assured, just as God has a plan for each of our lives, so does the enemy. Let's be prepared together!)
