Where to start....

So, I have decided I want to attain a Godly rhythm in my life.  Not just my homeschool, but my life.  My homeschool is part of my life (I have decided) but it is no longer the main aspect of my life.

What better place to start than at the beginning?  Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Maybe I'm stretching this, but this is the beginning.  It is where I start.  This verse tells me that I must 1) look to God, because he was, is and will be and 2) observe the heavens and the earth that He created.  Now, what should I observe about the heavens and the earth?

Genesis 1:2  The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

Wow!  That's kind of how I feel.  I feel without form and void.  I feel my life is whirling in space with no direction and no purpose and I have no control.  And there hovers God, just waiting for me to understand His Spirit is waiting to transform my life! I've never looked at these verses this way before, and maybe some theologian will get on here and tell me I am really pulling these out of context - and I am. What I am looking at though is not out of context.  I am looking for God's rhythms from the beginning.  So I'm going to keep going.

Genesis 1: 3 - 5  Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

Oh My Goodness!  YES!  God takes chaos and brings in rhythm!  YES!  Here is my first rhythm!  Day and Night!  God took something that was "without form and void" and created light.  And not ONLY light, but he created a rhythm of light - day and night!  He created evening and morning (important words, I think) and he created a time period for the FIRST TIME EVER! He created the first day!!  I can't believe these verses never touched me this way before!  So, this is where my quest begins!  Evening and Morning - the rhythm of a day!  

I can't wait for the next step!!
