Well, Kris is dressed and planning to go to work today. It’s as if it’s finally Monday. I did get a few things done while he was home but I enjoy visiting and hanging out with him too much. He certainly doesn’t monopolize my time on purpose…he’s just not that sort of fellow…it’s just that I don’t want to get wrapped up in any projects in case I might have an opportunity to get wrapped up in whatever is interesting him. Yes, he was sick in bed most of the time, but we watched a few movies together and did some talking. It was nice. Today…I need to get busy.
Owen is playing nicely right now and I need to spend some time in my Bible. I’ve neglected that too much. I’m pretty faithful about reading it every day, it’s just that some days I am completely distracted and though I read it…I’m not paying attention. Last night at choir rehearsal I got so convicted…not about reading my Bible but about my attitude in general toward truly setting my mind on things above and not allowing anything to be more important that getting close to God. I’m a mom…I think it goes with the territory but God didn’t allow me to become a mom and then give me a pass on Him. I’ve got so much I want to learn and do for the Kingdom of God. I know there’s more to walking in the Spirit and living a life more abundant…I’ve been there and I miss it. I’ve had a call on my life to be a mother since I was a little girl and I’m finally doing that…but I know there is even more that God wants to do with my life and if I’m not close to Him, how can I know what steps to take or doors to walk through to get there?
To crave more of God is important fuel for growth. He will match that desire by revealing more of himself to you, I am certain.
Good reminder. When Emma was the only one I had a great routine for my quiet time. Now that there are two I struggle to get a routine, still. I am working on it though.
I don’t struggle as much with the routine as I do with the daily stuff. I think getting into the Word can become too routine if we are not matching that with serious consideration of what else is going into our minds and hearts. I don’t watch anything bad or listen to anything bad…but I’m not necessarily listening to what will feed me either. I need to take a break from what is good and really reach for what is incredible.
A reminder like this is always needed. Even when I feel super close to Him, I need to know I can be closer. It’s all up to me!
