![]() ![]() I become so connected to the women in my small group and although some of us continue to keep in touch between online bible studies, it is still somewhat difficult. I guess I feel like I have lost a close connection that I had for 5 weeks or so. I find when an online bible study, from Proverbs 31 Ministries, ends I feel kind of lost. I have lead and have been a part of several bible studies including online bible studies. Satan will not win! The time is now to re-hydrate (so to speak) as I breathe in His Word daily. Listen to the above song by Kari Jobe “I Am Not Alone”, throughout the day and really take in the words she is singing. Take time today to meditate on these words. I love to listen to christian music throughout the day and sing along. I would like to end this post with a song that lifts my spirits. Will you join me? Will you hold me accountable and help me to be in His Word daily and to pray throughout the day? We can be accountability partners :^) It is time for me to turn from Satan’s distractions. It is time for this (my) dry season to end. The fact that I would let earthly distractions get in the way of spending quiet time with my God is exactly what Satan wants. Unworthy to be called a child of God….His child. Wow! Just writing these last sentences makes me feel so convicted. Whether it is reading through my many emails and text messages or getting sucked into the many posts of Facebook and Pinterest. Recently it seems I find any excuse to not spend time with God. Maybe the reason is that we allow distractions around us to consume us and ttake us away from what is truly important. Or maybe the problem isn’t that you are so tired and unable to concentrate on the scripture you are reading. Have any of you been there before? So wanting to breath in His Word and be renewed for the day and yet your body has something else in mind. What on earth is going on? Why am I so tired? This is so frustrating! I continue to try and read some more and my eyes close again. I start to read the scripture verses of the Old Testament and before I know it my eyes start to close. Once they are out of the house awaiting the school bus, I reach for my Bible once again and open it to today’s date. I guess I will have to wait until they leave to go on the bus. I start to read the scripture verses for the day and then become distracted by my children. I turn the lamp on and get out my One Year Bible and journal. I then make my cup of coffee and sit down on the sofa. The morning comes and I go about getting my kid’s their breakfast and making their lunches. I go to bed at night looking forward to reading my Bible and journaling while sipping on some hot coffee. ![]() Knowing all of this makes me feel even worse. He loves me unconditionally despite my many faults. I know that He is my Father and that I am His child. Have you ever been in a rut? You know the kind where you just can’t bring yourself to spend time in His Word. ![]()
