Plans in Motion

After an inspiring message from Pastor JR about how to hear from God, I have decided to take up a Bible reading plan - TODAY! I knew I wanted to read the Bible, it just looks SO intimidating. But I found a plan that will work with my schedule and I am excited to get started. You can view my particular plan here. There is a plan for everyone - both intense and relaxed at www.youversion.com/reading-plans/

I already know that God is speaking to my heart. I have felt it since the day I came to Freedom Church, but I am very afraid to do what he is speaking to me. Pastor JR said following the word of God can be torture. The thought of this is torture but necessary for me to continue on my walk with Jesus. Pray for my strength in this matter, as I am everyday. I am willing to listen and ready to act. I am. It's scary. It will be done, because God's will never goes against God's word. I knew that already but it took my Pastor saying it to make me realize it HAS to be done and I did not just conjure this up into my own head for selfish reasons. It is not a cop out. It is not an excuse. I know that is how it's going to be perceived by some, but those some are exactly who WOULDN'T understand because they are not heading in the same direction I am.

I am not going to let others define me and my decisions, or my motives for that matter. I am not letting myself define me. God defines me and I pray He will continue to speak into my heart. Everyday for the next year I am going to actively seek that out in my reading plan and my everyday decisions. I am willing to listen and ready to act....come get me!
