Feeling Better Already

So I know I asked you to ask me last night. But I have to say I am feeling so refreshed now from my quiet times. Not because I have managed to do them for 2 consecutive days (which is an accomplishment) but because I have managed to not give them a time limit.

Twice now for 2 hours I have sat listening to my ipod, studying my hebrew, journaling... (no reading this morning, waiting for Karina to catch up, she started a different book on accident) and praying. And the vast majority of this is definitely the hebrew. Even though it is just relearning the alphabet (which was still in my head for the most part) and the vowels (those too), my transliteration is feeling better then it did when I was a 4th semester Hebrew student translating text. So I am really stoked to see where these studies go. I will try and share what I am studying as far as Hebrew.

Anyways, going to check out Karina's folks church today with them. Time to wake her up now I think... pray for me.

btw... I still love Kenya coffee from Starbucks

keep it up! are you going to start translating Hebrew? I am currently translating Ephesians in my devotions; it is very uplifting, encouraging, and rewarding. I've been working on Ephesians 4:8 currently, which quotes Psalm 68:19 (MT), so I've been using some Hebrew as well.
Dude that is awesome! Keep it up! I'm impressed by the whole working on Hebrew thing. I've always wanted to learn Hebrew, you might inspire me to do so.
Thanks for the encouragement guys. Mike I do recommend the Kelley text books I use. Great introduction to Hebrew.
How's it been going?
Hey James,

I had a slow spot where I had trouble waking up in time to do my quiet times, and I coupled that with relizing how little I had retained of prepositions in Hebrew so my pace slowed down pretty dramatically. But I am back on course and heading into chapter VII tomorrow. My prayer time has been filled with fine tuning prayers for Karina and I. Life is good.
