Research

I spent most of my evening tonight researching facts and history on the Green Bay Packers. Here is the scoop: First of all, if you know anything about me, you know that I am a huge football fan and LOVE the Green Bay Packers. I've been a fan since I can remember and how my dad and I would watch any football game together. He taught me everything I know about football, which is some of my greatest memories with my dad. Second of all, reason I was doing research? Well, because it was part of my job this week! Tough work, I tell ya! :) I had to put together trivia in a PowerPoint presentation for tomorrows Packers vs Cowboys game. Church (which is my job also) is having the Packer/Cowboy game held at church if you want to come to watch it on big screens. The trivia and facts I am doing will be put up during commercial breaks.

Thankfully I was able to bring this home and work on it outside of the office. I've had the most fun researching things and learning even so much more about my favorite team! :) There was so much fun and interesting facts and history I didn't even know about.

As I finished up tonight I was thinking about my blog actually. I had a pretty quiet day today and thought, I have nothing to put on here. And lo and behold, God put this into my thoughts! :) I LOVE how He does that!

God showed me tonight, that with all the research I've done and the things I've learned and time invested in just a short time, that I can do the same thing with the Bible. I have always been intimidated by the Bible and how much INFORMATION there is...that it is overwhelming. But wow, when I was on the Green Bay Packers website this week, now that was overwhelming. They have so many facts and stats and history that I seriously started to get a headache from looking at so intensely.

I realized through this, that I need to be investing that same time into the Bible and into knowing Jesus so much more. I want to know the facts and the history behind the Bible and Jesus. Just like with the Packers, I knew some, but when I really looked into it, I realize I didn't know as much as I thought I did!! Same thing with the Bible...I know some, but I KNOW I don't know as much as I should! And even if it feels overwhelming, I still need to get the research done...

Lord Jesus, I ask that you help me get past the intimidation and to find the time and will to sit down and really dive into researching more about you and the Bible. I desire the joy and fascination to have with this as we all do with things in our life that we find appealing. Jesus Thank you for showing me how important it is to know you more and how these devine ways you show us will not be forgotten. I ask also that you continue to show me and guide me to the attention I want to give to You.
