A Fresh New Start

I just came back from my mission trip to Cambodia. God definitely has renewed my heart and I am now making a committment to spend time in prayer and devotion every day. How can I better show my love to God than by learning more about Him and listening to His voice rather than my random mutterings.

My plan is to read a passage of scripture before or during breakfast and to meditate on His words and ask the following questions:
1. What does the passage say about God?
2. What does the passage say about me?
3. What are the commands for me obey or examples to follow?
4. How might I be different if this passage were alive in me?
5. Why might God be showing me this today?
6. What would I like to ask God for, having been given today as a gift and having heard His word?

These are questions that I was asked to journal as a part of my devotions in Cambodia. Oh how I have benefitted... God has reminded me to be patient and that when I ask, He will respond, but in His time. God has answered one of my deepest prayers during my time in Cambodia and that was renewing my husband's faith...

My desire is to post my ponderings to document how God is working in my life.
I have a song playing in my head. It goes...
"I will feel no evil, for my God is with me.
If my God is with me, whom then shall I fear, whom then shall fear?"
