January second

Good morning~
I almost didn't make my quiet time. I woke up at 4:30 and thought I would turn on the coffee so I don't have to wait for it at 5. I climbed back into our cozy bed and was out. I woke up in that panic "inhale loud" at 5:30.
I enjoyed my reading on my recliner with my ever growing Doberman puppy Penelope. I read about Adam and Eve's children and Noah (not up to the flood but up to the arc).
I feel closer to God already so it is amazing how prayer and study and plain ole nature brings you closer. My Jared,Riley,Saige and I went hiking in Idyllwild yesterday and nature always makes me feel a connection to God. It is soooo beautiful.
My ponders today would be:

~I never hear about how the 2nd generation of children were created. I would assume that it was by incest. Adam and Eve's children having relations with each other.Has anyone did research on this?
~Genesis 4:19 says Lamech had 2 wives, Adah and Zillah, when did polygamy become bad?
~I enjoyed learning of God changing the normal life to no more than 120 years in Genesis 6:3. I always questioned that. So woohoo I love learning!!!
~I am going to do some googling on Nephilites from Genesis 6:4. I found them interesting.

Thanks for visiting. Please give me insight, leave a comment.

January First

So I started my One Year Bible today. I have been looking forward to it since Christmas. My husband got it for me as a present.( After a photo and directions to the bible bookstore.) I am going to use it for my quiet time each morning at 5am.

Today I studied creation and Adam and Eve. I have told this story to my Lil girls over and over so I went in thinking it would be an easy read and not much to learn. I was wrong. I have read it so many times from a children's bible, I didn't realize that there is more detail to it.
Today's challenges are:
~I was raised a Christian so I am struggling with did I just submit to it because it is all I know?
~With God all knowing, when he knew we were going to sin why did he give us a chance in the garden?
~With God all powerful, why did He have to rest on the 7th day?

The devil is fighting with my faith. This blog is to bring me closer to God. I am not writing my concerns and questions to be blasphemous. I am hoping others can comment on some of my questions so I can have a better understanding.
I have had several experiences and miracles in my life that God has been there so I do not doubt my faith. I am just having spiritual warfare and need some help.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate all comments positive and negative.
I am here to learn, write......right.
