Somehow, time keeps getting away from me! Sadly, by the time I get home, I'm zoned out. That is making writing late at night pretty hard. I have enjoyed making it the way to close my day. But, that doesn't seem to be working right now. I fall asleep before the writing happens! So, I think it's time for me to look at my schedule and see where I can make time for writing before I fall asleep.
This reminds me of something I think of quite often. (tangent!) My grandma used to pray for her family every night- children, grandchildren, and even great- grandchildren. She told us that she started one way one night and the opposite way the next so that if she fell asleep before she finished, she'd get to them first thing the next night! It's funny the things I remember after people I love have left this life.
Ok, so back to now. I love my life and everything in it. I feel very blessed and am grateful for each moment, each life I know, and everything that surrounds me. One of the reasons I started writing this was to make sure I stay focusing on God in my life daily. It's been almost a year now and I can tell it has definitely made me more aware. But, I can also tell you it's made me aware of when I'm finding myself too busy to take time out for my own spiritual focus. And, that is a good thing. Because, right now, I feel like I need to stop and look at my schedule and where I can take time out for God. I mean, I know I experience Him daily and I know He is a part of me. But, I also know that the best way to grow is to sometimes take a break from helping others grow so that I can recharge and grow. And, that is sometimes where I struggle.
So, here are some goals I have. I need to get back to texting my youth their daily scripture. I'm not sure how I stopped that, but it was a great way to start my day. And, my youth thought so, too. I am reading the New Testament and have been on Luke longer than I should have been. So, it's time to get back to my 3 chapters a day, including posting a verse from them. And, I think I'll set a time for posting, rather than just before bed. So, stay tuned to find out what time I decide. I'm also going to add a scripture verse to the end of my writing again. I'm not sure how or why that stopped either.
I've been talking to my youth about being Christian every day- not just Sunday. So, hopefully, by some daily focus time myself, I'll find ways to also help them do the same.
So, where was God today? It's Sunday- the day it's easier to focus on Him. So, today, He took the opportunity to remind me what I should be doing the rest of the week, too.
Psalm 46: 10 He says, "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
