Growing up in our faith, doesn't happen by accident. Yes, it is individual and we all have our own journeys, but it happens because we have a plan and there is a process to help us do it.

10:10:10 is just a beginning, but we are convinced that the 30 minutes you spend each will make you want to spend more. But don't worry about that now. Just try this out for now.

10 READ:

Each day, preferably first thing in the morning, in fact get up 10 minutes early, read the Bible for 10 minutes. Wonder where to start? We'll publish a list here, but try starting with the Book of Genesis (if you want to get some good Bible stories), Matthew (if you want to know more about the life of Jesus)or Ephesians (if you want to know more about faith).  If you are just need comfort, try the Psalms, but don't hurry through them.  Read, reread, try it out loud, and savor them.

10 PRAY:

Take 10 minutes of just talking with God about what it is you just read. There is no right or wrong way to do this, no special words you are supposed to use. Just talk with God like an old friend. It is good to do this right after you read, but you can do it at anytime during the day. Driving is a great time to do this.

10 QUIET:

Sometime in your day turn off all the noise. Music, tv, distractions, everything. Think 'solitude.' You can do this driving - or at least it is better to do it driving than to not do it at all. Sit comfortably and just be silent. The reading and prayer time planted the seeds, quiet gives those seeds a chance to grow. Expect God to meet you there in the silence.
