Genesis 3-5; Luke 2

Risky and reckless.....that's what I'm praying for 2009.
Here's the reading plan in pdf form and you can also do it online here. Would love to have you link me to your blog if you read and write your thoughts out or just use the comments here. Would dearly love to have a community of people here that read and pray and share and communally are committed to living risky lives of faith. Also share what translation you're reading from and how that impacts you .....
Wondering where God will take us this year and loving the idea that wherever we are He's working, already worked, committed to taking us to places we might never go without Him......

I'm going to do this even if noone joins in but boy you know how I HOPE others join in and share their thoughts......

niv Genesis 3: 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
msg. 8 When they heard the sound of God strolling in the garden in the evening breeze, the Man and his Wife hid in the trees of the garden, hid from God.

I read it all and come back here, every year I think I come back here..... 'heard God walking in the garden'....acutally lived in the hearing, walked with Him every day and in their new 'seeing' they hid.....hid from God.

I wonder what it was like, walking with Him. I wonder what He told them. I wonder what they asked Him. I wonder what comfort they must have gotten and yet it wasn't enough? Probably little different than here, time spent reading Your Word...connecting with You, asking You questions....and it's not enough to get me through the day....what if it was? What if I could in this time connect so deeply to You and Your will that whatever happened in the course of the day I faced it, knowing You were with me. What if I faced it and was honest instead of hiding, which is basically what I do.....deny that You're big enough to help me, deny that You're strong enough to ...I just hide and wait for it to pass, lie and hope for the best, forget that You and Your plan is better than whatever I may try to trade it in for.....If I want to live risky and recklessly I can't keep doing that. I can't being fearful and afraid of every stinkin thing run and hide at every thing that happens forgetting that You are with me......You've seen my nakedness, You've clothed me new and are with me. IN having turned to You and accepted that Christ, Your Son died for me and my sin I am forgiven...I am never alone again...I am walking with You.....how do I let that be ENOUGH for me in 2009?
