A day in my life……..Get up a 6am get ready for work, 6:30 am get my little man, Tristan, Up and get him ready for school. 6:50 send Tristan out the door to catch the bus. Make me my breakfast shake and off to work. Work from 8am to 4pm. Gym at 4:30. Home by 6pm. Dinner, if my husband hasn’t cooked it, Laundry in, homework check, Tristan’s bath, clean up kitchen….etc……, read and study for awhile, pray time then bed by 11 or 11:30pm. I am sure most women have a schedule pretty close to mine.
Our lives are filled up very quickly with daily things that we have to do. Family, friends, work, kids, husband, church, household chores……in this fast paced world we so often forget to take time for ourselves, time to rest, time to clear our minds……I for one am guilty. However I am asking God to help me learn to take time….to make an appointed time for just me and Him. I have noticed lately that this world and all that it had thrown at me has taken a toll on my mind and health. Then when I prayed and let God know that I was struggling……He reminded me so gently to “Be still and know that I am God”. Psalm 46:10
So I am taking the step with the help of my Heavenly Father to quit my mind and quit allowing this world to dictate my time, and make time for Him to help direct my life in the pattern he wants it to go to be the very best me for his Glory!!!!!
Heavenly Father,
It is so hard sometimes to find a few spare moments in our everyday life, but help us to remember that your are our life….that you created us to be Ambassadors for you. Our lives belong to you!!!!! Let us desire above all other things to spend alone time with our Heavenly Father each day so we can share our thoughts and concerns and allow you to calm us through the storms of this life and help us listen for your voice……your still small voice.
In Jesus name, Amen
