SBS - Week 2 - 4

So week one was great. I thought that reading Philemon (which is only 24 verses) was rough. Boy was I in for a rude awakening.
So Philemon is on Chart. Then came Titus that was then 3 whole chapters and 3 charts. So lots of freaking out about only having a week to do all that work. Every chart is about 2 hours then add 2 hours for working out the historical background and about 8-10 hours of reading through, colour coding and making the strucutre (called horizontals).

Then came Ephesians - the only book of the bible I have personally read more than 20 times. I was worried that I would not get anything new but it was incredible and God showed me so much I had never seen through using this Inductive Bible Study technique. So Ephesians was 6 Chapters = 6 Charts in 4 days. FREAK OUT!!
Galatians was next - but this time it was 7 Charts in 3 days. WOW ... That was a hard week. I thought that God had made a serious mistake and I needed to get out. The revelations were awesome so I stayed. Up until this point had classes in the morning and at night - about 25 hours a week. Plus 6 hours of work duties and the Galatians meant 60 plus hours of work (not including meals and volleyball) over 6 days - Sunday is off!

I was not ready for Mark - 16 Chapters, 17 Charts and 4 days!! That was the biggest jump and we all went a bit crazy. So that was about 70 hours of work. Thank God I am getting better at this whole thing so the time is cutting down.
But when I don't write know that it is that I literally don't have an extra minuted to do it. However I do get to check emails briefly in class (sometimes) so thanks to everyone who has been updating me and encouraging me. It reminds me that I am still human underneath all this study!
