A Walk with God

If God gave out speeding tickets to us when our lives got so busy that we ran past His mini delights, would we learn our lesson and slow down?

I've known people who get many speeding tickets. They pay the fine and keep right on racing down the road. Then there are people like me who have only had two, yes, two speeding tickets in my whole life. I am very aware of the speedometer and constantly check the signs so that my speed does not pose a traffic problem or a danger.

In life we can sometimes get so busy that we find ourselves speeding through our Bible reading and study. We don't slow down to enjoy the little worm that somehow dropped onto the car and attached itself by a tiny silky thread as we drove down the road. Maybe we need to get out of the car and take a walk. A walk with God can be a speed bump that helps us to slow down long enough to hear and see him working in our lives.

I think today is a good day to get out of the race and take a walk. Being alone with God will be a breath of life into my activities!

It has been a busy week, Lord. I have raced through my time with You so that the things of this world could get accomplished on or before the deadline. I now realize that deadlines don't make life exciting, they bring a death to my relationship with You. You are my lifeline! I need You to accomplish the very things that seem so pressing! Today, I put You first!

Summer Vacation with the Grands

Today begins a summer of kids around the house all day long. Yikes! What will I accomplish with them running in and out and needing this or that? Probably less than I want or should.

So today I am fighting their dragging feet to get them moving and on some sort of schedule that I can work with. Maybe it is me who needs to be on a schedule!

So today I need patience with them and with my circumstances. I choose to be positive and believe we can start out on the right foot and at least begin this journey in step with each other!

This reminds me of how my Heavenly Father must want me to get in step with Him. Many days He sits patiently waiting for me to come to His side and walk in step with Him. Today I pray that His walk will be my first priority. Then I may get much more accomplished. Maybe my granddaugthers will come with me and they will get to know Him better.

Time to exercise my spirit in the Word and then exercise my body and generate some intrest in play time for the girls. For you, I hope you too have a day in step with your Creator. He waits patiently.

Blessings to you,
Carolynn
