Going Deeper

I have felt a major growth in my relationship with God since November 2010. I've been praying fervently and seeking His guidance in all situations before I act or say things that require some sort of response. Whether it's day to day activities or dealing with people, I go to Him first. I have felt His presence around me daily and love the refreshing felling I get when I know He is there.

I could be content with where the relationship has gone and keep going at this pace, but I'm not. I want more. I always tend to do things the hard way as well. I don't just take small steps and pray things will work out. Although, sometimes that may be a better choice. In this case, I'm taking a HUGE leap of faith to help my faith grow. I don't want it to just grow; I want it to explode! I could also just write these blogs and not publish them to keep them private...but then I'm not sure how accountable I would be to myself then.

It's not like I want people reading my stuff and getting inside my head, but I want to do this just in case one person reads this. Maybe it will not only help me continue to do this, but maybe help someone take the journey with me.

So what am I doing? I'm reading through the book of Psalms in 150 days! That's one chapter a day until October 31, with Sunday's off. Sounds easy and simple, but this will honestly be a major challenge for me. I am more than busy and hardly find time to even eat meals. This is a challenge I want to take. I need to take. I have to take!

I've always heard this is a great place to go when there are times of trouble, you need inspiration or just want to grow. It's time to not just pray to grow closer to God but actualy dig deeper in His word. So...here we go!
