The Love of Reading and the Love of God

Regan and her Daddy share their love of reading. Regan makes her Daddy very proud of how much she reads and what she reads. Tonight at dinner we were sharing about our day. Regan was exhausted from her busy weekend so after church she spent her whole day in her room reading and sleeping. Yes, she actually took a nap. We really wore her out this weekend!!! Daddy asked her what she was reading. She replied, "the Bible, I was reading about Moses." Tony said, "What made you go to the story of Moses and how did you know what book of the Bible Moses was in." She informed Daddy that they are studying Moses in school but she also told him she was reading Moses because that is where she is in the Bible. Tony then asked are you reading the bible from beginning to end? She told us she was and that she started right after the New Year. We were very surprised. I knew she read her bible a lot but I did not know she had a plan to read beginning to end. This made me so excited to hear about her passion for the Lord and wanting to be in His Word and wanting to know Him better!! We started asking her questions to make sure she was really grasping what she was reading. She walked us through Genesis and told us almost everything in complete order. Then, she started talking about Exodus. Tony then asked, "What comes after Exodus do you know? She proceeded to tell him the names of most of the Old Testament books with a little help.

We are just so thankful that Regan has such a love of Christ and came to know Him at an early age. We pray that she will continue to walk with Him and that her eagerness to know Him better will continue to grow and that her faith will be strong and solid. Tony, Regan and I have also been praying that her sisters will also come to know Christ and will have this same passion and love for Him.
