I am pretty sure that is a quote from John Piper. I love it too!

Long time not see, Kristine!
Micah 6:8, one of my favourite, precious verses, too.
Good to keep focus on what is important. Have a great day and I hope you feel better soon.

For me, I had to decide to make it first, or it wouldn’t happen! I committed 4 years ago to wake up each day and make it first. I started reading through the Bible on a schedule for the year and have loved it! It ha led me through so many different places and I have learned so much more during this time than my previous 30 years!!!
I know it’s hard when you are sleep-deprived. I have had two babies and we are expecting another one. I have been faced with the temptation at times to sleep a bit more. For me, whenever I have made that choice it just never works well. That extra 30 minutes of sleep can not even begin to do for me what time in the Word does.
With my two oldest children I believed what everyone said to me. That was to sleep when they sleep and give myself a break. It was devastating to my walk with the Lord. I believe all it did was foster more selfish feelings and needs for me time. I know that everyone is different. I have a friend who was able to have a great time in the Word while her kids had their afternoon nap. That would not work for me because I have elementary kids up and that is great time with them. I agree that the point it to commit to something and do it!!! It is discouraging that many professing believers have trouble reading the Bible these days. I think it is just evidence of our day!
Take care!!

Welcome back! I actually started reading your blog about 4 years ago and always found it uplifting and encouraging. In fact, it was through a post of yours that we found the website that lists reversal Dr.’s. We are now expecting our 3rd reversal baby!
I actually agree that Facebook has taken over. Unfortunately, in my life it became a distraction and a major source of discontent, so I dropped out a couple of years ago. I used to blog here and there, but also stopped that. I do think that it seems many more people blog about anything an everything in their lives. I am discouraged because it seems few remain who blog about eternal matters. You can find a blog about pets, children, coupons, allergies, etc and a lot of sweet people who claim to follow Christ in their profile but never say a word about Him from there! That is fine, but I am learning that my time is much better spent reading the couple of blogs where I find myself encouraged, but also challenged!!!
That being said, I encourage you to continue further. You have so much insight and experience as a mom and woman of God that can really help others!!
Thanks!!

It is so true that we can find so many reasons not to spend even 15 minutes. The beginning of this year, I purposed to make sure I did spend that time in the Word more often. I have been trying to wake up just a tad earlier even though I am not a morning person. It doesn’t always happen but on the days it doesn’t there are other times to spend time with Him in prayer, worship or just being alone. I sometimes escape out to the yard just before making dinner even for a couple minutes to be with God before continuing on into the evening.

I appreciate the way you addressed this issue. Spending time with the Lord does not have to be the same for every person. Some people prefer certain times of day, specific locations, or patterns of worship. The point is – do it! Thanks for encouraging us to make time!

Comment on Simple Distraction by Audra

This is precisely why I deleted facebook from my phone last week. I’ve been shocked by how that one little change has given me so much better focus – via less distraction!!! Thank you for being honest about your struggles. It’s good to know we’re not alone.
