Day 8

Okay I've lost track of the journaling on a regular basis, however,  I'm keeping up with the reading & feel that is more important. 

While reading I've not had any major epiphanies per se, however, I've had some questions & some aha moments.

First I want to say that I could have spent 3 months researching all the descendants of Noah & where they ended up.  I find it fascinating that 6 people (Noah had 3 sons & each had a wife - Noah & his wife had no more children after the flood)  completely repollutated the earth after the flood.  I also enjoyed seeing names of people in the linage such as Tarshish & knowing that he was a mariner that is probably why that town was so far away from everything else, BTW southern Spain is very lovely no wonder he settled there. 

My second thought I had the other day was since all these people descended from Noah surely they must have at least heard about the flood & God & how he spared their grandfather, great grandfather, etc.  Did any of them still call on His name.  the bible doesn't really mention it.   I know that the Israelites are God's chosen people but did no one else on earth remember the Lord other than Abraham. 

One thing that has been revealed to me & not really through my reading but perhaps my thoughts have been influenced due to it.  Nothing I have is my own.  Yes I know that but not even the house I live in 7 call mine is mine.  God has not given it to me.  He simply allows me to borrow it from him.  I call Elaina Sis.  It started out mostly because she's Elias' sister then I had an aha moment.  She's my sister also.  Yes I already knew this but the realization was that I am not training up my children but my sister and brother. then the thought occured to me if I had to raise up my siblings or someone elses children how would I speak differently to them thatn i currently speak to the children i've been entrusted to raise.  I realized if God had come like a parent & dropped off His children to watch for him & I know that I'd talk much more pleasantly thatn I do now.  So it is something I'm going to work on.  I know in my role as a teacher I had way more patients for the children others entrusted to me at school to mold & shape for 6 hours a day for 180 days, than the two precious ones that God has entrusted to me to mold & shape their entire childhoods.

Day 2 of the 90 Day Journey

Today's post will be short & sweet.  Its late & I need to get to bed so I can be up early in the morning.  I did complete my reading for today & yesterday, but it was tough as I'm struggling with an ongoing headache most likely due to the immense heat 7 lack of air conditioning we have.  Most days its not a problem but when temp go over 85 for the high it can be very miserable in our house in the late afternoon.  I know it could very well be the advesary trying to thwart my plans to walk more closely with God. 

I'm enjoying the reading so far.  

Night Night

The 90 Day Bible Challenge

First i want to apologize to my blog.  You've been neglected fro so long.  I can't even remember off the top of my head the last time I wrote a post.  That however, is about to change.  You see I've signed on for the 90 Day Bible Challenge.  My husband at first thought this was a bit over the top because I'm so busy already, but I think now he's ready to go it with me.  I know at least he support my decision.  

This will be a challenge you see I've never read the Bible cover to cover before.  I've read most of it but as most bible based Christians know there are books of the bible that are more difficult to read than others, for whatever reason.  However, I'm not doing this to gain some sort of accolade & be able to say I've read the bible cover to cover in 90 days.  My inspiration for doing this is to draw my walk closer to God.  What better way than reading His word. 

I just recently finished the Bible study Experiencing God.  What a great study, I highly recommend it.  the entire time I was doing the stuff I felt God telling me to wait I have something more for you.  I want o take you deeper.  I feel this is the beginning of that plunge.  So I'm up early this morning writing my 1st journal entry & off to pray & have my time with the King. 

My plan is to chronicle my journey through the bible on this blog.  My goal is to complete the suggested reading everyday by breaking it down in to smaller chunks of 3-4 pages at a time.  My logic is that I dont sit & consume my entire daily requirement of calories at one sitting.  If I did I'd end up hungry, cranky & irritable.  So by breaking down my Daily Bread, perhaps it will help me walk in the spirit more & the flesh less.  I also want to write a journal entry everyday.  It may be as brief as I'm up & reading or more in depth about what God is revealing to me.  Only time will tell.   I'm so anxious to see where I am in my walk 90 days from now.  I wonder what God is seeing, is he excited because he knows I will succeed & my relationship with him will be even stronger, better, deeper.  Does he know that this is the start of a major turning point for the Seats family.  Does he have some major assignment for us.  Or is this going to simply be Him& I getting to enjoy eachtohers company more regularly.  Whatever the outcome I know I will be blessed in the long run.  

Off for my appointment with my King.
