I love it when God sends answers to questions in ways you weren't expecting!

I have never read through the entire Bible. Sad, but true. I'd heard about the 90-day Bible so I thought I'd give it a shot beginning January 1st. (It's not a resolution, just a great time to start something new!) So far, I've gotten all the way to Joshua & let me tell you, Leviticus was hard! Deuteronomy too! And after reading those books, it just seemed to me like it would have been virtually impossible to live up to the commands & sacrifices & all that God gave His people. So many thoughts about these things were swirling around in my head; what about this? What about that? It's definitely had me thinking. We watched a video (1 within a series) done by Andy Stanley in sunday school this morning; he was talking about the twist the word sin has taken to the word mistake. A lot of the things I had been thinking about/questioning from the old testament were talked about in the video and especially how it connects to Jesus in the new testament. God just made it so clear to me today & I'm grateful that He showed me through an avenue I wouldn't have thought would lead to where it did.

I am not always able to accurately articulate what I'm thinking so I'm hoping all of this isn't confusing. But I wanted to share God's faithfulness with you, His faithfulness even in the little things because it was so cool to be sitting in class thinking, "Thank you Lord for caring about what I'm thinking & learning that you would bring this to me now."

It's just amazing to me.
