So here it is! This is my New Years Resolution. In Bible study this year we did a book called "Being More Than Just a Good Bible Study Girl" It was full of great ideas and ways to put them into practice. The one that stuck out the most to choosing to see God in all things both big and small. She pointed out that sometimes it can take effort to see God in problems and challenges. That more than anything in the whole book stuck out to me. I want to see God everywhere, everyday! So as my Resolution, I want to take a journey to see God daily. I want to make it such a second nature that when I sit down to write, I won't have to think. I want to know the difference between God's voice and my own desires. It's so easy to say "I feel called to _____" when really it's just my own thoughts and desires. I want to know what path to take and know that I'll be okay where ever I end up. I want Bible verses to pop into my head when they are most needed. I want to have a deeper friendship with my God. I will attempt to blog each day, but I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't get to it, as long as I see and acknowledge that something I've seen or experienced was an act of God.
This is fantastic, friend! Last year I prayed "Let me see Your face" intensely to God. Every time I prayed this I met a homeless person and heard their story. It was such a beautiful experience, and really brought me out of myself. I am praying for you- this will be an amazing year!
ReplyDeleteIf you are expecting me to follow this blog, I will have to ask you to adjust the color scheme on the text up there. I can see God, but not much else.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I suppose I should also add some words of affirmation and encouragement on this bold, new endeavour. Nah. :P
