We were challenged by our Pastor to read the book Knowing God by J.I. Packer so I thought no better time to focus on Knowing God than a week long cruise with no kids and no responsibilities.
With opening this book I know I might be opening the door to examine my actions, thoughts and dreams and see if they are in line with what God has planned for me and who He is. I know this will be a life changing book and with that comes hard struggles of reality to face, some ask why would you read a book you know will cause you to struggle and cause you to question yourself? My answer at this time is I want to know Him! I do so many other things and I research them to no end and I want to know my God more than anything else and connect as I would an old friend. I've let so many other things get in my way that this week I'm focusing on Him and knowing Him more and inviting Him to change my heart, change my earthy desires and actions to desire His will and His mission.
I plan to have my journal of notes to bring back and share with you and pray through this blog and this book you to might open your heart to research who God truly is in your life and get to know Him more.
Post to come in one week until then be healthy, exercise daily and eat well.
