Busy life= no time to stop and reflect on the day. I think that it should be the opposite, when life gets busy we need to take time and reflect on the day and we also need to start each day out right with prayer and the word. I must confess, sometimes it's hard, I'm not a morning person so it's hard to get up and pray and read the word. Waking up is now even harder now that I had to cut caffiene out of my diet. But all those are is excuses that keep me away from what God has called us to do. I know I need to spend more time with Him, soI just need to make it more of a priority!! Just like I know I need to be doing better with cleaning and loosing weight, my quiet time with God needs to improve as well. The good thing is that the days that I do get to go for a walk in the morning, I do get time with God, and those times are so wonderful! Often I making sure no one is on the path with me and then I start singing along with my music. Nothing beats getting excersise and being out in nature to start the day. But even talking to God through out the day is a great thing too. This is something I do a lot of. Just quick little prayers up to Him as I am doing things, keeps me in constant communication with Him. Kind of like being on facebook and chatting a few minutes here and there with your best friend, except that He is the best friend in the world!
So keep on staying encouraged! God is there for you all the time and loves when we take the time to spend with Him. Make it a priority today to read his word and talk to Him, build your relationship! We wouldn't go a whole day without talking to our best friend or spouse, so don't go a whole day without talking to Him either. When you go through tough times the first thing we tend to do is turn to Him, so why when things are going good and you are just moving through your day do we not go to him? He listens and is there just the same no matter what you are going through, so give your worries and your problems to Him and let Him take care of them. Don't get so consumed with your problems that you forget to praise Him too. He has done so much for us, how could we not give Him praise and glory?
