30 Day Challenge

Quiet time with God can be something that is easy for one person while impossible for the next. I do not fall into the easy category. When I really think about it, it is a little embarrassing that I dont get time in the word daily. We are called to be in the word and called to quietly spend time with God and yet I cant seem to get my act together. I was doing it during Mick's morning nap for awhile but then it seems like one day it just did not happen and then I was like a train off the track. When I do sit down and open the Bible I feel a sense of peace. I literally feel like I have been without water for days and I am getting my first glass but then it turns into an Arrowhead jug. If there is enough time in the day AND we are called to do it AND it is such a feeling of peace then why is it so hard? Obviously the answer is different for everyone but the solution can be the same. I was reading a blog that suggested a 30 day challenge of daily devotion. For the month of June find a time and a place that you can have everyday. I prefer to wake up to the Lord right away. I would like to set my alarm for before my son wakes up so that I can read and pray and just talk with God. Proving yet again that God has a sense of humor, he actually gave me an alarm clock 8 months ago. Mick has been waking up around 5 or 5:30, Yippie! So when I hear him wake up, open my Bible will go. I will be able to spend some time with God while I hear the beautiful sound of my baby talking while he waits for me to come get him. Now this sounds a little early even to me, so I have a plan B. I really want this to work so if the morning does not then I will do it during his morning nap. I am typing all of this mostly for me, to know that it is here, here to keep me accountable. But I prefer not to do it alone. Soooo, join me! Let me know what your plan is. I would love to go through this challenge with you.
