Today is another dip into the cold. I think a warm mug of hot chocolate or tea sounds good. It would be much more fun with a friend though. Not a crazy busy day and yet just a day to do everything before the kids get home from school.
As I work on the many everyday tasks around her, errands, I thank God that He never considers a day with me everyday. He enjoys each day and every bit of time. Wonder why it is then that it takes so much of His whispering for me to come to Him. I am one of those who continually struggle for quiet time. Course with 5 kids that seems to be a bit of an oxy-moron. Yet I know God just wants me - not all my plans for a nice spot, a good 1/2 hour to hour of just quiet. He loves my attempts at quiet time of reading devotionals as I sit by the "fix puzzle" or "playdough". He loves my prayer time in the shower, yet I yearn for more. I pray for that yearning to grow into a doing. I pray for a more focused effort on my part. I know He loves all I attempt, yet I still want more. I am in the mom stage of much guilt and I can role that guilt over into my relationship with Him so quick and yet I know that HE IS NOT A GOD OF GUILT. It all still boils down to choices. Choices I make about my time, really His time. It is amazing how you can talk yourself through something just by writing it down.
Praying you have time for Him today. Whatever that looks like, feels like, or is.
One step closer today!
