Word = alive = Life

Sometimes I am simply astounded at God!!!
I have been quite reticent in my basic disciplines of the faith - to use Christianeese! In other words I have been pretty lazy when it comes to reading my bible and praying in times set aside just for these habits. Praying is something that seems to have been coming increasingly habitual during life in general and so I find myself talking with God more and more, its something I just cant NOT do it would seem. I haven't been too worried about making it a 'have to do' listed item for the day as a result. I know its something that can be improved but its not weighing heavily in my heart.

Reading my bible on the other hand has ALWAYS been a struggle for me. It just seemed kinda a route activity and a bit hit and miss with whether it interested me or made any influence on my life. I knew it was important and so I would always try to spend time in it but when I started doing papers at Bible College study meant I could be lazy and justify my study and course time in the Word as being enough. Anywho I have recently resolved that I would like to spend time each day following the Anglican practice of reading 1 chapter from OT, NT and the Gospels so 3 in total. I started reading in John and just began to read John 5 and it was as if the Word has become alive!!! Thank the Lord for all the study and context and well understanding I have gained through studying at college because now I am SOOOO excited to read more! What a blessing, what was a have to is now love to YAY!
