Day one of the rest of my life!

So here it is... Day one of the rest of my life! What am I going to do with it?

I have started readying my bible and journaling about it everyday, picking out a verse from the selection I read and writing what I think it means. At the bottom of every entry, I put a prayer. This started out as me just asking for stuff (You know how we can be- want, want, want) but has turned into so much more. Today I just wrote thank you. I wanted to tell him Thank you for every time I've done something stupid and he was there to help me fix the situation, and for all the times I will do something stupid and he'll be there to help me out.

This isn't the first time I have ever tried to do a journal, but it is the first time that all I've wanted to do all day is come home so that I can find my reading for the day and write about it! It's such a different experience now, I find myself upset if I miss a day (#TBT I have missed a few here and there)

My goal for this year is not only to fill up my journal (that looks just about as thick as my bible! :) ) but also to finish the reading plan. I don't want to be shaken or have myself thinking that something else is more important, because at the end of the day- it's not.

movies, tv shows, facebook- it can all be checked out later. God has had to wait long enough on me, why keep him waiting longer?

For now,
