Feeding the Spirit

Of all of my goals for 2009, the devotional ones are some of the most challenging.

For starters, I plan to pray the Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer every day during the month of January.  This takes about 30 minutes, and as I mentioned previously, I am not a morning person.

I will be fasting once per month during January, February, and March in preparation for our trip to Ethiopia.  (Lest you think I be bragging, this is part of the trip agreement, not my idea.)  I also intend to fast once in preparation for the NCC Leadership Retreat that takes place at the end of January.  I am considering continuing to fast once per month after March in order to discern God’s will for my life after I am done with the Protege Program at NCC.

I will finish memorizing Proverbs 6:20-7 and John 15:9-17.

I will finish reading through the Bible with Rachel.  (We’re currently in Ezekiel.) And I will likely finish reading the New Testament with the NCC Discipleship Team.

I will be more intentional during meetings with my accountability partner and will make an effort to keep up with him more between our weekly meetings.
