I just recently confided to my husband that my spiritual life sucks. I feel like I don't have time to give to God as I am run ragged with my 3 kids. I know a lot of women who feel the same way but you are right we NEED to spend time in prayer with our father in order to know what we should be doing.<BR/>So many "urgent" things take me away from God but spending time with God should be my first priority of the day.<BR/>Thanks for the reminder.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13310849568657464753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-24850001959715168652007-03-20T04:44:00.000-07:002007-03-20T04:44:00.000-07:00What a inspiring post.

I get so caught up in my daily walk of life that I often forget what I was put on this earth to do and that is to serve The Lord. I am just thankful that I serve a god that is patience with my sometimes inadequent service and gives me the chance to redeem myself.

Although the other side of it is that I have spent more time in prayer and close to the Lord than I have in a very long time, and that feels amazing. I guess its all about perspective. Time is nothing to the Lord, but our thoughts are everything.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746657238020972421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-16483899987634251212007-03-19T11:03:00.000-07:002007-03-19T11:03:00.000-07:00Good stuff, Nadine.

I heard someone teach at church yesterday about making sure that we were doing what God wanted us to do. He told a story that a leader of our church told at a recent conference. This man had an hour of free time and, instead of trying to check another thing off his to do list, he prayed and asked God what he should do with this extra hour. He was inspired to visit a nursing home and found there a man who had been asking for him. The teacher's point with this story was that this man had first and fore-most in his thoughts, "What would God have me do with this time?" Not, "What should I do now."
