I have been trying to spend more time with God, but life is getting in the way. Sometimes i get close to just hanging out with God. Then i want to do something else. Its this strange struggle where i know that i want to be with God but other things look more entertaining.
Just a couple weeks ago God asked me to give up TV, Books and Face Book, to only spend time with Him. But at night i want to spend time with my family so i watch some TV. I don't want to give that up but i will try.
Face book is so addicting and i don't look at it as a loss to not be on it. Giving it up has freed up like an hour or two of my day.
The hardest thing to give up was books. I have found that i spend way to much of my time reading or thinking about books. When i read a book i don't want to do anything but read that book. I fell back and did read maybe half a book. Working on that has been hard, but i don't think i know how to be still and know that he is God.
God is not something i can schedule in to my day. But i can plan on it and try to look forward to spending time with God. God loves the effort and the pursuit, so if you want to spend time with God just try, don't look at how successful your time was but how your heart was looking.
sorry i am not the best writer or speller but i want to share even when words don't always come to me. If you understood what i wrote and liked it, please comment.
