The start of a new day...

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his, good, pleasing and perfect will.


This morning I began reading a book I had had on my shelf for well over a year , Crazy Love.  I must say I've never been spoken to so directly.  For the first time in a long time, I feel a stirring in my inner soul.  I've been at a point of spiritual stagnation for so long - too long.  Every so often, I feel a stirring that I push aside and ignore it.  How stupid am I to think I can push off God? And yet, how grateful I am that He is still there and He is still working on me.  It is time for these dry bones to rise up and walk.  It is time for the water I am in to boil.  It is time for me worship the God of the universe.  


So came the energy bursting forth to write it down.  I thought blogging my thoughts of how He is speaking to me - of how He is transforming and renewing my mind would be best.   A following of readers or not, I will still be here.  I have thought of blogging before, but honestly the thought of coming up with something significant to say is paralyzing.  I know that regardless of how tiny or incomplete my thoughts are they are significant because they are the workings of God.  Bear with me as I figure out blogging and the fancy formats.  I hope if you are reading that you too are being blessed through the workings of God in my own life.  


For today I am posting a link to Crazy Love.  www.crazylovebook.com  In the first chapter of reading there was a reference to watch the "Awe Factor" video.  We are a tiny speck in His greatness.  I am reminded of "be still and know that I am God" Ps 46:10.  Being still and standing in awe is something I don't often take time for.  I've been blessed to live in Colorado Springs at this time.  I look out my window daily at greatness and truly, "purple mountains majesty indeed".  I've always been drawn to the mountains.  I have always felt His power and His presence.  What a blessing to have it staring at me every day.  Truly awesome.  But how quick I am to forget and move quickly past the window without recognition.  In the book Crazy Love, Francis Chan writes " In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him."  


Ok...screaming and crying coming from my 3 blessings....
