Starting something new...

journaling of sorts:

so i am starting something new this year, i am going to try to keep an online journal of the musings and thoughts that i might have. we'll see how it goes, but i am sorta excited about it. this is completely random and reckless style journaling and maybe people will get it and maybe they won't, but hopefully it will be a good way to get the creative thinking flowing.

to start things out: ps. 78.7-8 ~ "so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God." 

i'm learning about faith, and in the process i stumbled on this verse. crazily it talks more about what faith is not: forgetfulness, stubbornness, rebellion, and instability. unfortunately, more times than not this is definitely the things that characterize my life. however, on the flip side, we can see that there are contrasts shown: hope, remembrance, observance and obedience. so on i go on my faith trek. 

take a look around, find hope in redemption, find remembrance in community, observance in ritual, and obedience in listening. 

peaks out.
