Reading the Bible

A few weeks after we got married and came back to the US, we have been reading the bible together. Then, we prayed for each other. But then, we stopped doing it because we prefer to browse internet or watch movie than read the bible. I remind myself that we should start again tomorrow and the next day, but, we never did :( It seems that our time did not fit, even though we were right next to each other -- I was too busy chatting/facebooking/watching Netflix and richard was taking a break after a long day at work. So I continually made excuses to God. Sorry God!

So yesterday, I made up my mind to start again. The first is always the hardest. Once it becomes a habit, it will be much easier and enjoyable. We continued on our reading at Mark 11. He read the odd verses and I read the even verses. To be honest, I really enjoyed reading the bible together with hubby. We connect more spiritually and to God. When we exchange prayer requests, I feel more intimate that not only he shares his feeling and thoughts and burdens, but I'm privileged to pray for him. I pray that God will give us the passion to know Him more and strengthen our marriage, to love each other, just like God has loved us first.

Some scripture that we read that I want to share with you:
Mark 11:24-25
24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
