Trust

It seems I am being called to trust.  I feel as if God is asking me to give Him all that concerns me, all that I am to do before my day begins so the Holy Spirit can lead me to do that which is the Father's will for me.  Sometimes my plans will stay the same and sometimes I may feel convicted that changing or rearranging my plans is best.  Doubt and/or fear may creep in for a bit, but I know that I can push them aside because, "Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is in the Lord." (Jeremiah 17:7 NRSV)

Commitment to Quiet Time With God

I find it hard most days to settle down and take a few minutes before I start my day to focus on my relationship with God.  A thousand things run through my mind, I am up, and attending to my morning responsibilities, taking on my day then I realize I haven't given God a moment to be with me, speak to me or guide me.  Discipline has never been my strong suit and I want that to change.  So, I am making a commitment to spend 5-10 minutes with God when I first get up.  The time will be for God to bless me, guide me, teach me, encourage me before I go about my day.
Hopefully, as I give quiet time to God I will grow in my love for Him, my family, and those He puts in my life.  I will share with you bits and pieces of what I learn and the ways in which God has blessed me for spending time with Him first.
