The Birth of My Savior, The 25 Days of Christmas
By Me so for the past week ive been on a journey...im hopin to make it into a book...im calling it The Birth of My Savior, or The 25 Days of Christmas...ive been writing a journal every day with the exception of the 1st cuz i thought of it the 2nd so ya...its been goin cool...reading a little about the birth of Jesus every day and writing about it...i dont really know how the book will turn out though but ive been praying and thinking about it...o ya the cool part that i feel was the part when i knew God was tellin me this would work was when i realized im not only going to be readin about my Saviors birth but im going to be a part of it in Bethlehem Revisited so iwas pretty pumped about that.... |
Remember this? this was almost a year ago when facebook was pretty nonexisitant and myspace was just getting started...but now that maybe two of you will read this... This is a journey. Last year's 25 days of Christmas was almost a joke, almost. It taught me what it takes to complete this and write a book on it and that i need to actually read every night and actually start december first. but anyway, this journey is something i would absolutley love to take every year, so much that i think im gonna find verses to make a "The Life of My Savior" journey and "The Death and Resurrection of My SAvior" journey to do throughout the year and around easter, respectively. you know i just learned what respectively means? thats why i just used it. anyways, gonna turn this journey into a book. THis journey is 25 days long and only consists of reading 25 passages, once a day. below are the passages if you wish to take part in this journey with me. start dec 1st ends dec 25th. go in the order the scriptures are in. if you think anything else would really add to this journey tell me (scripture wise, or anythign else wise...) <>< Genesis 3, Matthew 1-2, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 8:8, 10, Micah 5:2, 2 Samuel 5:2, Matthew 12:15-21 ,Isaiah 42:1-4, Matthew 22:41-46, Psalm 110:1, Mark 14:12-26, Mark 15, Mark 16, Luke 1-2:40, Exodus 13:2, Luke 20:41-47. Luke 23:39-43, John 1:1-18, John 3:16-17, John 3:31, John 13:1-17, John 17, John 20:30-31, Acts 1:6-11, Isaiah 52:13-53 ps. Newsboys and Kutless concert was AMAZING!!! | | |
| So something I've been thinking about and I really need to improve on... Ever since the first week of school I've read a chapter in my Bible every night (or at least almost every night). I wanted to start with Luke, got to Acts, and then read the rest of the NT that I have never gotten to before. I've followed that faithfully pretty much, but I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of it. Please tell me if you've seen a change in my spiritual walk since around august 15, b/c I really don't feel anything. I really thought I was going to get something out of it, but I don't even feel like going on with it anymore b/c I don't feel anything from it. But here's the thing. I am reading the Bible, God's word, but when I read it, do I act like I'm reading God's Word? Almost every night I find myself thinking, Wow when is this chapter going to be over? or I really don't want to read this thing right now...I mean I pray before I read and everything..Does this mean my prayers aren't real? Or am I not real when I pray? This is what I think...I think this is all about respect. Respecting God and what He wants to say to me. If He doesn't want to talk to me tonight through His word then I am okay with that. Now I think that God's word can be the most powerful tool there is, but if God doesn't want to reach me that way, I guess I'm fine with what God wants. Respect. Even if God does want to speak to me through His word, I think my pride and selfishness is getting in the way, my thoughts are too loud and my disrespect to God because I can't find the right time to read is whats wrong. In Luke 24:25 it says, "And He (being Jesus) opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures." God's word isn't this easy storybook you can fully understand. You have to trust Him to tell you whats going on and what you need to get from what you're reading. I need to understand that. So if you've made it through my post, all I want you to get is one thing: Respect. This can me taken way beyond just respecting God and His word, but thats where it starts. Respect Him and His word and soon you will begin to hear Him. Soon you will be able to relate to His word. Soon you will start respecting your parents, siblings, authorities, friends, people. No one is perfect, but besides love I think respect is one of the greatest things you can have. I'm not saying I respect everyone all the time or even some of the time, I think I made that clear in the last paragraph. But maybe if we learn how to respect, we will learn so much more than we ever thought we could...<>< | | |
