New Year New Challenge
Good Morning on December 30!!
There has been so much going on in the last month. This is probably is not news to any of you! I really can't say it has been busy. I really can't explain it other than I have been listening. I had to do some returns this week and the clerk asked if I had any resolutions. This got me thinking and of course I asked her if she had any. The both of us thought, exercise and saving were the normal ones we had heard over the years. We discussed a few more thoughts and went on our way. My one question I asked myself was "Why didn't you tell her what you were thinking about for a resolution?" Did it not come to mind? Did you not want to put it out there? It WAS the first time I really thought about it I guess?!
Do you ever do and follow through with a resolution? Do you ever share your new years resolution so you have accountability? I probably do not make them because after the novelty of the new year wears off so does the resolution. I don't share them because then someone might keep me accountable to it. How about you? Have you had any one that was beneficial AND you followed through? Have you thought about sharing yours so you HAVE accountability?
I did start something this week. I have been having a hard time with my quiet time lately. What do I read? What book of the Bible do I want to read? So...where do you think I started since we are approaching a new year?
Genesis....Have you read the story of creation lately? I was shocked at how many little details I skim over because "I know it already"! To think there was nothing and then, with just Gods word He created EVERYTHING!! Really....that is one phrase I underlined. "and God said"
It was a great reminder of who God is! His word is powerful and able to do it all!! Yes my favorite verse is still Isaiah 55:11 where God promised that is word will not come back empty... What has come up empty this year? What has come up full? What in your life is growing? Why?
The one thing that will never come back empty is__________________!!!
I want to share a friends blog with you, her name is Cindy Bultema. I met her this summer and had lunch at her house this fall. Some of you may know her as She Sparkles. She is putting a challenge out to us for scripture memory. Do you want to join? I sure could use some accountability. http://cindybultema.blogspot.com/2011/12/scripture-memory-2012-come-join-us-part.html
Thanks for coming by the blog today! Looking forward to Genesis with you! Do you have a favorite verse in Genesis? I would love to know what it is.
