Find Time Anyway!

What a busy weekend!  And of course there is nothing like waking up on Monday morning and realizing you have a doctor's appointment at 8:45 a half hour away and you haven't showered and won't get one in until the kids get on the bus at 7:30.  I should have known by the horrible night of sleep I got that the day was not going to turn out as planned.  It's Monday!  I am just now getting to my quiet time.  It's one in the afternoon and I'm finally sitting down to write a blog for you all and to be quite honest I don't have anything!  But looking at my day and how it relates to so many of you I can't stop thinking about how no matter what our day looks like it's important to never take away from our Jesus time.  There may be some days that we have to put it off until we get our appointments out of the way.  And there will be others when we wake up early and soak up hours of God's word.  Our quiet time should be sacred, honest, heart moving and most important, daily.  But don't feel bad if you can't get it perfect every day.  Don't give up if you miss a morning or can't get it in until you are on your last bout of energy of the day.  What is important is that you never leave Jesus out.  Don't ever forget to read a bit of God's word and don't ignore Jesus who is standing with you all day just waiting for you to call on him for advice.  I can get too caught up on the how and when but I am reminded that Jesus just wants my heart.  He wants my time and my conversation and He understands life is difficult and busy and knows how our day will unfold.  He will always leave us time to call on Him but it's up to us to make the call.  GFF, if you haven't made a daily committment to talk to God and read His Word I encourage you to start today.  Find a friend who feels the same way you do and work together to find Jesus in a new, deeper, meaningful way.  If you already have a relationship with Jesus I want to encourage you that you don't have to be perfect and there is no perfect way to do it.  Don't get discouraged if you miss your usual morning talk or if you can't find time until the evening.  Just be dedicated to doing it sometime during your day.  And absolutely do not discourage someone who may not do it like you.  Friend, I hope you have a wonderful afternoon!  I am sorry my busy day brought you this late blog but I am human!  We all make mistakes and run into obstacles.  We are loved and cherished anyway!  Get that bible out and find out just how much!
