Scripture

Over the past year I've really felt the Lord leading me to spend more quiet time with Him, praying and reading scripture. For whatever reason I've had a really hard time making this happen! I feel like I can take time for T.V. shows but I struggle to take quiet time with God. I'm apart of an awesome Life Connections class (Sunday School) at church. We use material called, "Faith Cafe." At the back of the book there are scripture verses. They always relate to whatever we talked about on Sunday. A friend of mine suggested reading her bible before she went to bed. I realized that I could do that...I always read before I go to bed.

Well...the past week I've been putting that into practice and it has been awesome. I've found myself looking forward to that time reading my bible, thinking about what I read the next morning, and talking to my husband about what I've read.

I really look up to some strong spiritual women at my church. They always have so much faith and knowledge of scripture that strengthens their faith. I've always wondered how they were able to grow to be women like this. I've started to pray that God would work in me to be a spiritual women and I really think I'm beginning an awesome spiritual journey! I've always heard, "You have to be reading scripture." I've believed it but now it's different. I'm excited about it! Praise the Lord!
