I AM ALIVE AND WELL!!!

HELLO! I AM ALIVE AND BACK BLOGGER.COM! THANK YOU FOR NOT CANCELLING OR ANYTHING DUE TO INACTIVITY

anyway, i've been convicted recently that I've been very purposeless and directionless with my free time these past 4-5 months. Hence, I plan to make better use of these 4-5 months before me. So I have decided to shoot for a goal: ambitious as it may sound, here it is:

Two Books of the Bible and 4 Books a month!

So, being February, the start of a new month, here are the goals I have set for THIS month!

Bible book 1: Numbers
Bible Book 2: Deuteronomy
Book 1: Prodigal God by Tim Keller
Book 2: The Man God Uses by Blackaby and Blackaby
Book 3: Twelve Ordinary Men
BOok 4: Twelve Extraordinary Women

Why do I do this? Sure, I said its because i've been aimless and purposeless. But GOd has given me a PURPOSE AND A GOAL for my walk with Him. I want to INCREASE MY CAPACITY TO EXPERIENCE HIM IN HIS FULLNESS AND INFINITE VASTNESS. So I, as a vessel, as a container, wish to be expanded. How does reading a lot produce this effect? Truthfully, I don't know if it will. But I have been convicted to return to a habit of READING SCRIPTURE VORACIOUSLY! And to again fall in love with reading about Him and His Hand through history. Even the unmatchably joyful experience of falling asleep to the writings of giants of faith sound super appealing to me. I have a burning hunger to devour everything about my God, and as I read, I hope that hunger only leads me to more and more treasures of faith!

So FEBRUARY HERE I COME!
