Day 1 - Obedience, Bravery and a Start

This may be the 3rd year in a row that I have wanted to start writing and sharing with the World that I, in fact, hear God speak to me every day.

Although, it has not yet been audible - i.e. someone speaking into my ear, it has certainly been unmistakable.  Unlike previous years, this year I didn’t have the strong yearning to start the blog.  However, maybe I am because it is not emotionally motivated, but am inspired by a sincere desire to create new habits and new patterns, to have a better lifestyle that seeks to remove the unnecessary and wasteful in my life.  And much of that is what occupies my mind and my time.

So far, the start has been a bit of a flop.  Resolution disillusion anyone?  As a single person, living in a new place with no friends, I fell into old patterns today.  I watched some favorite TV shows and wore my pj’s most of the day while I lay in bed.  No hangover mind you, just a need for relaxation, but certainly nothing to show “I accomplished something great today or I learned something new.”

No "Good Morning, Jesus" and definitely haven’t gotten to any prayers or Bible reading for today.  Although, I am reminding myself there’s still 1 hour and several minutes left to the day - and God can do a lot in much less time than that!  No need to worry though, I usually do my Bible reading in lieu of a bedtime story most days - Perhaps there is still a conversation to come? I'll let you know tomorrow :)

Yet, the failure is not total, for I am finally writing and posting – instead of thinking of writing or posting.

I heard no earth shattering message for today; except, START! And I think that's a God place to be right now.

Do you have something you’ve been meaning to start too?
