Great post!

Great post!<br />I only have 4 kids, but I have had to work pretty hard to find a time to try and meet God everyday. *For me* that means I had to set aside the same specific point in time everyday - make it routine. I do not have wowser QTs everyday, but I do sometimes. For me the trick was giving God time and space in my day where he had my full attention. I also started using a prayer book called the Divine Hours by Phyllis Tickle. I start off praying through that and sometimes tack on a lot after I am done and sometimes not so much. This routine has totally changed my walk as a Christian. I am still working on a Bible reading routine that I really like. I have tried the One Year chronological Bible, right now I am just reading the NT part of the One year bible. I also have tried extensive listening of the audio bible (Word of Promise is STUPENDOUS and cheap on Audible). But I am still looking for a routine I really dig.<br /><br />Ok, I think this is by far the longest blog comment I have ever left...<br /><br />Angela<br /><br />PS - I asked Lyndi if you were prego, but only cause I thought it would have been really cool if you were. ;)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465017977136440289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-23330862110719275172011-06-22T12:44:33.221-04:002011-06-22T12:44:33.221-04:00I REALLY needed to read this today.

I don't have answers to your questions, as I'm looking for them myself! <br /><br />Thanks for this!<br />~JoanJoanBensMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085867095641572743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-77951360224742467132011-06-22T12:26:53.234-04:002011-06-22T12:26:53.234-04:00What I'm doing right now with my girls 9,7,4 i...What I'm doing right now with my girls 9,7,4 is doing a bible verse starting in ABC order and talking about the verse and writing it.....coloring a picture ....something to bring my mind and heart to God. So if I go a day without doing it I know I'm behind a letter and need to play catchup. It's totally my idea and no need of a program of sorts and so I make up my own (help of girls) way of doing it. It's really fun for me and them and then I find I'm closer to God in the process. That's what I'm doing this summer...Last summer I did a s cripture everyday from a different book of the bible in order and used a brand-new notebook for each of us (makes it fun)and used scripture I told them they would hear the rest of their lives and they loved it. That's what I'm doing.

While I am in his word is usually when I hear Him most clearly. The preferred time for me is in the morning and that just doesn't always work out. Being a single mom of 3 and working out side of our home means morning time is BUSY to say the least. I try and usually am able to get it in 3-4 times a week. Not enough for me. So I strive to do better and ask God to fill in the rest. As for a specific tool. Sometimes I use the scriptures from Sunday's sermon, sometimes I use a reading plan and sometimes I just play good ole fashioned Bible roulette .... asking God to lead me to a specific scripture to speak to me that day.Sara Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17666320751843119903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-32823039513061865592011-06-22T10:41:46.417-04:002011-06-22T10:41:46.417-04:00it's pretty simple, really: pray without ceasi...it's pretty simple, really: pray without ceasing. You'd be amazed what God will bring to your attention when you open up a constant line of communication with Him. You also might (as I am) be surprised at what you DON'T do or say while you *know* God is listening. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-69378877927614768692011-06-22T10:39:04.492-04:002011-06-22T10:39:04.492-04:00Totally convicting.
