The New Year is upon us. And it's time to listen to the voice calling me. It's time to get back into the Word of God.
I've read the entire Bible before - in fact, I've done it twice. But I haven't been in there much at all lately, and I feel the lack in my life.
Yesterday, a friend posted an article, and I started really thinking that yes, I wanted to delve in again, and that this multi-layered approach might be a decent way to go. I definitely didn't want another "start at Genesis 1:1 approach, or I thought I'd just bog down and let it go. So, I started today - in Galatians. And I thought that if I wanted to take notes, notice things, and pay attention, then maybe I'd do it in a blog.
I haven't quite decided whether or not to share this yet, because it's really not about drawing attention to myself. That's something I kind of struggle with at times anyway, and I don't want this to be prideful. On the other hand, accountability is always appealing, so I might. I'll figure that out as I go along, I guess. Decide later. The important thing is to start - and then to keep going.
So, here we are. December 31, 2015. And I need to get closer to God again. I need the intimacy, the understanding, and the reassurance of God's voice in my mind. The best way to get that, I know from experience, is to fill my mind with God's word.
