{WW} Devotions

{WW} Devotions – free write

It’s such a personal thing. I have a difficult time writing about something so personal. I don’t know why. Maybe I feel like I fall so short. Maybe I want to write something that will inspire someone else and I really don’t know how or where to start. I have a very hard time (as in never) getting up and having devotions before I start my day. I sometimes kneel by my bed when I get up and ask God to help me. I most often pray when I wake up, lying in bed. The day’s duties and tasks and fights (children’s) are not yet commenced. I’m free. For a moment. And I pray. And think. I like to take quiet time right after lunch when I put Wyatt down for a nap and everyone else is at school or work. I like my alone time. I sometimes read the Messenger, or a devotional book and way too often I spend a lot of this quiet time reading my friends blogs or other blogs about quilting and home décor. Writing this down, I’m quite sure I’ve ‘snacked’ too often and not ‘eaten well’ at Jesus’ table. I love to sing and often keep a songbook open in my kitchen. I love the outdoors and I always feel close to God when I go for a walk or eat snow with my children or examine a snowflake closely. I like to think that all the little things in life, all the moments of directing back to God are a form of worship and praise. But I need a reminder of how frail and human and selfish I really am. I need to think about devotions and where I’m actually feeding my soul.
