I didn't write a blog post yesterday, but I still had a great quiet time with the Lord. I probably won't write HERE every day, but I'm keeping my journal going and definitely staying consistent with carving out this time with Jesus, my Love. And that's what's MOST important to me. If anyone else benefits from my writing, AWESOME, but that's not the main goal for me. I'm holding myself accountable and just keeping track of what I learn/what HE shares with me during these precious moments with Him. 

It's day 2 of me being consistent...yay!! Lol. Today, the devotional I'm reading is called "Sacred Questions," and I'm going to share with y'all what the Lord used to prompt me to pray specifically for my momma. It came from John 1:35-39, where Jesus invited John's disciples to "Come and See," (which any Chosen fan would instantly think of). The devotion says, "Jesus was really saying here, 'If you want to know Who I am, just follow along. See what I do, how I respond to others, how I love. Jesus didn't demand blind allegiance. He didn't ensure that those He encountered had the right beliefs or behaviors first. He invited them to walk with Him and watch His interactions. He invited them to draw their own conclusions. And this invitation sparked such curiosity that fishermen dropped their nets and tax collectors gave up their profits to follow."

This morning in my quiet time with Jesus, I made a vow to Him that I am going to commit to spending time with Him UNDISTRACTED every day, meditating on His Word, listening for Him to speak, and then journaling anything that may come up. Don't get me wrong, I do spend this time with Him every day already as a practice, but I'm oftentimes hurried/distracted, and it's been a good while since I stayed consistent with writing anything down. But here is my hope...in sharing it here, it will hold me accountable to stay CONSISTENT. So here is my takeaway from my time with the Lord this morning:

Today is Wednesday and we've been back home from Italy for one week tomorrow. I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee and my laptop, as I've been thinking about writing all week but have not really had the time or space to do so. I have worked on this blog site some and am still trying to get it the way I want it, but I'm ready to WRITE already!! I love to journal/write and it's one of the greatest ways I connect (to myself, the Lord, others)...it's how I get all my thoughts and feelings down best. And it's a gift that I've had since I was young. Words come easily to me on paper. Much more easily than speaking them, for whatever reason. I had another blog a couple of years ago, along with a podcast (that I did with my husband), I've written two books (Biblical poetry), and I really just journal my thoughts to the Lord a lot of times. But I've very much been wanting to start writing more here lately. So after my daughter and grand babies left, I decided there's no better time than the present!
