Word Wednesday–New Beginnings

It took some time. It took some prayer. It took some searching. But today, we have a new Word Wednesday challenge. This one will be easier… and harder. For me, it has already been more spiritually challenging. In just a few days, it has made God’s Word way more “alive” to me. Are you ready?

Genesis. One chapter. Per week. Fifty chapters. Fifty weeks to carry us through 2011.

Why? Because I want to focus on God more slowly and deliberately this year. One chapter a week gives time to chew on it, to think about it and pray on it. And why Genesis? Beginnings. If anyone has been through a boatload of beginnings in the past few years, it’s me. And right now, with the world in a really crazy place, I think it’s a good time to go back to the beginning, don’t you?

We’ll start with Genesis 1 next Wednesday.  Are you ready?
