A Lifetime to KNOW God
Listening to “What is the Greatest Calling” by David Perkins, on the Desperation Podcast.
Wow, there’s just so much to learn everyday. I’m learning about the lifetime I have to walk with God… I’m really in no rush anymore. It’s now about growing deep, not how much I can do and how fast. All the “doing” is and will happen naturally, but exploring the depths of my relationship, of knowing God… that’s the adventure of a lifetime that will take a lifetime to venture thru!
Random idea: There’s 66 books in the Bible. If I spend 1 year going deep into each book, I’ll be done when I’m 90! How cool is that? :D Then I can retire into heaven or something. Or start over? Or something. Yay!
Disclaimer: Now, before anyone throws icewater on the idea, yes, I know the Bible should be read in full, etc (yes, I have done cover-to-cover), yes we need balance. But I didn’t say I’d only be reading that 1 book-of-the-year. :p
It’ll be so fun..! I bet some of the shorter books I’d end up reading it so thoroughly I’d memorize them! hehe Or maybe use it as a chance to really learn Greek, or Hebrew or Aramic. Or maybe memorize geneologies? hahaha Or do like cross-ref studies. Or read them in the different translations. Fun!!!
(Yeah, I’m a study nerd. I like it.)
Life is so much more fun, living it for a purpose far beyond just me!

P/S: heh, I said “Know”. I’m good at product placements ;) hehehe
P/P/S: That’s an inside joke with me and my sis. All other readers, please walk about blankly :p

I really feel the same, walking with God every morning on the way to school...and back...and enjoying the time to talk about just about everything. It's good to know this will last a lifetime. P/S: You've actually said that before...and...I KNOW! ;)
