For Some Time Now

For some time now I’ve been thinking about my devotional times on my deck. I miss them.

For some time now I’ve been thinking about my devotional times on the back porch in grandma’s glider spending early morning time with God and my cup of coffee.

For some time now, since I’ve moved to Texas, I’ve missed my devotional time with God. It’s because it is either too hot to sit outside in the morning or I don’t have a peaceful place for contemplation or I don’t feel like journaling, or I have trouble concentrating on my prayers etc. etc. etc.

I need my time with God like I need my time with Tim, my parents, my sisters, my children, my grandchildren, my friends, and my Facebook friends. I need to be connected, I need to share my life with him, my burdens, my joys, my sufferings. I am neglecting my relationship to the one who created relationships – how sad is that?

So, I grabbed a devotional book, my bible, my journal and my favorite cup of coffee and spent time with God today. I will be sharing some of the thoughts and conversations with you over time but for now – I’m just excited about starting my day off saying “Good Morning” to the one who created me.
