Very different kind of scripture study

I've honestly never done scripture study this way, in fact, I've pretty much always done it the same way, everyday for the last 8 years. Right before I go to bed, I pray then I read 1 chapter, doesn't matter how long or short it is, I read that then go to sleep. And to be quite honest, sometimes I'm asleep before I even finish the reading. But I've been writing on this blog every weekday for about the last 2 weeks and I'm only on chapter 9. By the shear numbers I should be on at least chapter like 21 or something. But I took something like 4 days to go through chapter 8, only 10 verses at a time. When I first started, I was trying to muscle my way through a whole chapter everyday no matter what, but the blog posts ended up taking me around 2-3 hours and as much as I would love to spend that much time in scripture study each day that just isn't a realistic amount of time for me. So I've found that going about 10 or so verses at a time average me about 45 minutes of reflective blogging a day. I read the verses, then read the accompanying Institute manual lesson, then read the verses again, then I'm ready to blog. I think that that is a reasonable amount of time for now. And in only 9 chapters, I've had some serious revelations and experiences.
