Heaton shared her delight with fans in a video posted to Twitter, saying, “You know, some days were just revelatory. I saw things I’d never seen before.”The actress also noted that completing her goal was not always easy.
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.
PatriciaHeaton Good for her! When you abide in God's Word, you live immersed in it. Psalm 91:2-4
PatriciaHeaton I woulda thought she would have done that 20 years ago.
PatriciaHeaton Big book. Good luck. Which translation? Totally off topic. Love your work.
PatriciaHeaton Patricia, Check out Fr Mike Schmidt on YouTube. We just finished his bible in a year program, he is very good. It is about a half hour each day.
PatriciaHeaton Remind me...wasn't her only real successful show the one with Tim Allen?
PatriciaHeaton You're kidding right? I've read my Bible 10 times in one year...at the very least.
