"Surprise Me, God"

30 Days. A Three-word prayer. A trail of surprises. Who knows what will happen?

Beginning Monday, April 14 a few neighborhood friends will join Merlajean and me for a 30 day faith experiment. For the next 30 days each of us will begin our day with the simple three-word prayer, “Surprise me, God.” Then we’ll keep a short journal of what happens each day. Or doesn’t happen. It's as simple as that. No laundry lists of requests. No specific agenda. Just a simple invitation each day for God to barge into our lives any old way He pleases.

You’re welcome to come along too and join us for the next 30 days, via this blog. Each day I’ll be posting a blog entry. You can write in and respond any day using the “comments” button. Feel free to join in. Who knows… you may offer just the encouraging word that someone else needs to hear.

If you’d like more information about the “Surprise Me, God” experiment, go to author Terry Esau’s website http://www.surprisemegod.com/. Terry is the author of the book, Surprise Me, God, an account of his first 30-day “surprise me, God” experiment. Terry also offers a 30-day journal with daily reflection questions and five study sessions for a shared weekly small group experience.

Let the journey begin...
