Day 1-- Blessings

I have been thinking a lot about Abraham lately and all that he trusted God for. He was promised that he would be a blessing and that the whole world would be blessed through him.

I know that God wants to bless me as his child, and yet I do not feel like I am getting the blessings that God wants for me. I know that I am the recipient of more blessings than I have ever deserved. What I mean is that I know that God has much bigger things that he would like to give me, blessings for the Kingdom that are far wider and more deep than I have ever come close to.

Those blessings are the fruit of abiding in the vine of Christ. This is what I am seeking to figure out. How to abide as closely as possible.

I will have to dwell on this some more.

The 45 Day Challenge

I am writing this as an accountability tool for a journey that I am about to step into.

A couple of weeks ago I had an epiphany, it was too earth shattering, but it puts a lot into perspective.

I realized that I have never, at least in my adult life, lived a balanced life. But it is my goal to strive toward that.

If I start tomorrow I will have 45 days until the first day of 2010. I want to use this journal to keep a track of the spiritual journey that i am taking on.

Wagons hoo!
