The first day of a new year. I am in love with the one year Bible. It gives you a nice mixture of Old and New testament verses to read along with Psalms and Proverbs. Thinking prayerfully: I am asking for the wisdom I need in every decision. I want to be able to say, "the Lord has made His plan clear to me. This is the way let's walk in it together. God promises wisdom through disciplines of our faith; prayer and waiting on Him, Meditation on His word, fasting sharing etc. I think I will do well to log hours of prayer, reading and study. I need the discipline.
My goal: 700 hours of prayer. I am thinking of it as two a days. 1000 hours of study- preparation-reading. I want my love for God to grow. I mean real mushy type of love. One that motivates you to do crazy things and to want to talk about him all the time.
Today's reading: Genesis 1,2; Matthew 1, 2 Psalm 1 and Proverbs 1.
Prayer: 15 minutes in the morning, 1/2 hour prayer walking the mall, and 1.15 at night, Great day.
Meditation: Fasting, trying to determine God's purpose for me personally and for ALC
I went shopping today with Debbie and Sarah. Debbie had DSW on her mind all day and found a pair of shoes for $16.00 after coupons. Happy New Years babe! I hope those shoes help put a smile on your face. Would you be interested in fasting shoe purchases? Probably as much as I would be interested in quiting golf. We all have our passions. I love you Debbie, shoe fetish and all.
Sarah was looking smart in her new glasses. They don't help her see any better but she does look smarter. lol.
Hoping to put something nice together for Deb's 5oth birthday. The 27 day countdown has begun.
Just a few New Year's day ramblings. Today begins a new journey of discovery of the new life God has planned for us. May we make the most of each day because "today always matters"
