Today has been a relaxed day. I did a little bit of cleaning, but nothing major. The house is still a mess...I don't expect miracles in one day! ha ha! The girls are outside playing. Last I checked, they were climbing their friend's tree. They were having so much fun; I didn't have the heart to end it. I did, however, give them a warning that I didn't have a vehicle to run them to the hospital if they fell and broke something! Me, I've been having a little self-made 'quiet time' with God. Like I stated in my prior post, I don't read my Bible much, except for during my girls' school time. I also receive daily devotionals in my email from Alpha Omege called 'Daily Focus' for homeschool moms. Other than those, I don't get into my Bible much at all. So, I thought I'd start out with a 'little' something today. I know this is going to sound a little wierd to some of you, but this was suggested to me once by a youth leader at camp. I used to do this while I was in high school/college. Music and God have always been intertwined in my life and a big part of it, no matter how far I have strayed from Him. Christian music in particular. It has always spoken to me in one way or another. Now most of my Christian music is put up...somewhere...on cassettes (yes, ANCIENT!). Yes, I listen to more modern Christian music and have some on CD's, but I am always led back to the songs/singers I grew up with like the ones here on my blog. So, today I chose my blog music for my 'quiet time'. This 'quiet time' basically just entails me listening to the lyrics of the song(s). I listened and thought about what God was saying through the words of these artists/ Christians regarding my life. I did a bit of soul-searching you might say. I know that I have a lot to change, though I will always be saved. Today was just a first step, in my baby steps back to my walk with God. I know it didn't involve reading my Bible or breaking out a Strong's concordonance, but it was meaninful nonetheless. Tonight, or maybe tomorrow, I will break out my Bible in a quiet place and read....something...whatever I feel led to read. Or perhaps God will give me a specific verse to read...who knows. I'm just happy to have gotten something today. |
Afterall, some of my best childhood memories are of climbing trees! Who am I to deny them the same opportunity?! So, climb on girls! (I could be regretting this decision later...but oh well! Kids will be kids!)
