Day 276

Yesterday's awesome verse - Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Today I am home from work sick. I have lost my voice. So I have decided to spend my day resting, praying and reading the Bible. It's time for me to listen a bit to what God has to say, instead of always asking Him to do what I want.

I'm all set up, I have opened the house up to let all the germs out, I have a couple of Bibles, a big bottle of water, I'm about to get a cup of tea then I'm ready to go.

I wonder what God will show me today?

Day 271-ish

Okay, a quick update of what I have read so far:
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Deuteronomy
Ruth
Esther
Job
Psalms
Proverbs
Ecclesiastes
Song of Songs
Isaiah
Matthew
Mark
Acts
Romans
1 Corinthians
2 Corinthians
Galatians

And bits of Luke, Jeremiah, John and Ezra.

I still have plenty to go but that's okay, it just means I get to look forward to knowing God even more.

I am noticing that God must really really really love us, I mean we fail Him so many times and so many different ways, yet He still loves us and is still faithful to us.

I'm tossing up getting more involved in the music ministry at our church, mainly because I want to share the growing love I have with God. Prayers about this would be appreciated.

Day 260 (I think)

I'm Baaaaaaack!

Yes I know I have been gone for ages. Ups and downs, highs and lows etc. But most recently I've been taking a break.

I took a break from the Internet and TV, DVDs etc. Not a total black-out because I need the Internet to do my job and I decided to watch a DVD on father's day with the family, but definitely a large reduction in my usual Internet and DVD habits.

Why did I do this? To get closer to God, the whole point of this blog.

I have gone off-plan. I decided just delving into the Word and enjoying it was best to get me back on track. It's been great. I've been reading the new testament at work on my lunch breaks, the old testament at night before bed, listening to some more old testament at dinner some nights, and listening to sermons and worship songs in the car. At the moment I'm just enjoying learning more about God. I've been praying more and I feel I'm getting a little closer each day. Satan doesn't really seem to be a big fan of me getting closer to God (hence the downs and lows.) So thank you for your prayers guys!

I may not post every day, but I will try to be more consistent. I'm currently in Romans and Jeremiah so I'll keep you updated. :)
