January 3 reading

Here's what stood out to me:

1) Matthew 3:10. "What counts is your life. Is it green and blossoming?" It's almost like this has been tattooed on my soul since birth. I have always felt an intense pressure to make the most of my life and make sure it counts. I love the thought of this baptism, the concept of having your old life washed away to be transformed from the inside out. To me, I internalize this as a life walking with God where God is speaking so loud that you can't hear those insidious self-doubts that are always chattering inside of you. That is my hope and my aspiration.


2) Totally digging Psalms. I think it's because it's like poetry. This is my first time reading them. (I have previously given up on reading the bible right after Noah and the flood.) I just love the language, the cadence, and the phrasing.
