Finding time for God.

Sunday's are supposed to be easy, or at least so I thought. 

Today's service was great as always, God met us as he does regularly. I left the Church on my normal post-service high and then ... life hit. 

So many distractions. I've been besieged today by shiny ball syndrome (my bad). Cameras, TV, Newspaper, everything it seems but God. 

I guess it is like so many of my days...the day starts so well, a nice quite time with the Lord and then it seems like life hits, and God vanishes. Not because he goes away but because he is relegated to the bench.

Finding time without distractions for God is certainly my on-going objective during this fast (and hopefully beyond). Finding God in the distractions, not letting him sit on the bench during the hubbub, that is something I want to pray for. 

Perhaps a balance of God only time combined with God always time should be my real objective.

  1. Well I do not know if I an doing this right this is waaaay out of my comfort zone.so please forgive me if i make this short and sweet. I am thrilled with what i have been hearing and seeing at church and on the blog. I praise God for keeping us in his will and allowing us to experience this type of communion with him.

  2. I appreciate the reminder that there are significant opportunities for us to recognize God and his work among us even in the responsibilities and pressures of our every day, not just in the quiet of our devotional times. This encourages a mother's heart, as it seems I am rarely off duty and many quiet times are interrupted by a sweet small voice calling, "mommy".
