In the midst of being pregnant again (and so soon!), tending after a one year old, working around our home, planning for new baby, HAVING new baby, and getting situated (or at least trying to)in our new life I have noticed this "grog" over myself.
Life, I can't keep up...or catch up. I often ask myself, "what am I doing wrong? Why can't I get the hang of all this?"
The Lord has blessed my life in SO many ways and yet, I rarely make the time for Him that I should. I think He's been tapping my shoulder especially the last few days to get back to Him. Reconnect Make TIME for HIM. Not just for me.
It's so, so easy to get caught up with the busy-ness of life. You know-the kids, the husband, the schedule, the emails, the Facebook stuff, the business stuff, the laundry, the meal making, the cleaning up, etc, etc, etc.
I admit. I have put the Lord on the back burner in a way. Even my praying time has become rushed, shorter and more condensed than it once was.
I desperately need to make that time for Him again.
So, I was pretty stoked when He reminded me yet again, when I saw that Jess at "The Macs" (one of my favorite blogs)has been feeling very similar lately and has posted another 30 Day Challenge.
Just 30 minutes for 30 days dedicated to the Lord. Reading His word, speaking to him.
I admit, I initially thought 30 minutes seems like a lot to just sit down and read and pray. But, then I quickly realized how much time I spend on my phone on Facebook or reading blogs. Or...writing this very post! My, how quickly the Lord puts it into perspective! ;)
So. Today, June 6th I'm starting my 30 Day Challenge.
It's so good for the soul and I know as a mama and wife, I need to make him the center of my (busy/hectic) life. We all do. :)
If you'd like more info on this challenge, you may find posts by Jess here. and here.
