Reading

I have a new enthusiasm for reading!

First and foremost for the Word.
3 Sunday's ago, there was a move of the Spirit in our church in the evening service. Keith asked if he could pray for me, and asked me what I wanted prayer for. I didnt expect him to ask, so I hadn't really thought about it. So I just said that I wanted to get to know God more.

From the following Monday I really wanted to read Exodus...and now, two weeks on - Ive read Exodus, and Leviticus lol! And it has just been really interesting!

I think without realising it, my prayer had been answered. Through what I have read I feel I have got to know God a bit more and learnt things that I didnt know!

I really like the verse in the NT where it talks about Jesus being the visible image of the invisible God.Although Jesus points to God and who God is, I think from reading the books in the old testament I am learning more about God and who He is and His character.
It has given me a new interest in finding out more about my faith and has caused me to question things - which I think has been really healthy - rather than accept tings at face-value.



I am also beginning a new book.........Harry Potter! - the last one. Haha yes, I know, I still haven't read it! I began to last year but didnt manage to get into it, so here it goes again - 2nd attempt! hehe..and guess what - I still don't know what happens! I don't know how I managed to keep it that way. hehe!

So here's to reading!
