so it begins

Feb-18-2008


I got up early today, in order to start my new programs. You know, the daily devotional and Fat Camp. Getting up early is the most fulfilling and exhilarating experience sucks, plain and simple. But I did it. I read the passage for today and studied the questions, and its really funny how the topic on the first day I’m doing this addressed one of the things I struggle the most with. The passage snippet was 1 Chronicles 16:23-29. It talks about how you should sing God’s praise. Tell everything and everyone how great He is each day, and proclaim His glory to all the godless nations. It goes on to say that you should do this because God is worth it for all that he has done for us. I totally agree with what I read this morning, but like I said, its something I struggle with. I’m not good when it comes to talking about God. Its not that I feel embarrassed or anything, its just that to me I feel like my faith and beliefs are a private matter that no one wants to hear about. And when I put it like that, I guess it really doesn’t matter if they want to hear about it or not. I suppose its party of my Christian-ly responsibility. What it all boils down to is that I’m a closet Christian and I need to start living it more openly. So today’s goal is to talk to one person about God, whether its something cool he has done in my life, or telling them about who He is. I wonder if tomorrow’s devotional will be this challenging.

Check back later tonight with the first installment of Fat Camp. It should be pretty entertaining.
