A Preface:

I'm giving fair warning: my next entry may be an opus (I mean in length, not in profundity). God is stirring up a lot of new thoughts which haven't been totally processed, but for now I'll give the Preface.

First of all, as a background, I have been binge-reading the Old Testament (seriously, 12 books in a week. Go iphone apps and long subway rides!)which I've never really done before. But anyway, I think that has been shifting my relationship with God in a big way. I feel like I get "The Fear" of God more than I ever have before (in a good way). He is so ancient and powerful I can hardly grasp it. It also make me appreciate His commandments as *COMMANDMENTS* and not just little "hints from heaven" which I am prone to do.

Second- there is a lot of untied strings. I was going to wait to publish it till it was more flushed out, but I think it would be better to publish first then if their is something that catches your eye as wrong, or you want more information then say and we can chat via comments. For example, I passingly mention miraculous intervention. I want to look more into that. Real life stories of when God stepped in a provided a concrete need. If this has happened to YOU, PLEASE PLEASE share that! I would love to hear it!

God is changing me. Right NOW. I can feel it. I think it is hilarious (and sort of embarrassing) that something as ridiculous as money was the catalyst, but I am coming to understand that the tiniest amount of faith is all God needs to roll up His sleeves and get to work.
