21 days

I love waking up in the morning and having some quiet time to myself. It's refreshing to spend time in the word and in prayer alone. Tim works out of our home so I see him alot. He was gone this morning to meet with area pastors as they talk and pray together. I love this for him! (of course my teenager is still sleeping. :)) My alone time with God is precious to me. As I close my eyes all I can hear are my fingers typing and the little clock ticking. Time moves along in life, sometimes it feels like time is moving fast and sometimes it feels like it's just dragging on. We all know those days, whether your at work or your a stay at home mom.

Ask yourself what kind of time you are giving to spend with Jesus. What in your life is getting in the way of your alone time? Do you make excuses? (too busy, kids practice, work, don't know how to have alone time with God...etc.) Been there done this myself. We've all heard it said that 21 days makes a habbit. I would encourage you to begin today with this. For the next 21 days commit to being in the word - just make the time - every day - pray before you read and pray when you finish. Ask the Lord to speak to you and teach you. Say whatever you want to him, whatever is on your heart. Underline in your bible anything that strikes you. New to reading your bible? Maybe begin with the book of John. When you begin this habbit you will find that your day is different and when you miss it something is missing.

Verse 5 & 7 of Psalm 37: "Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him and he will act. - Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him."

And waiting patiently - life is not about our time but God's and his time looks a whole lot different than ours.

A dear bride to be posted this song today. Take a moment to worship Jesus. He longs to spend time with you.
