wanting greater intimacy with Jesus
Sounds like a good start!You make some good points.
I woke up at 5 this morning. Part of the reason I woke up though was because it was thundering and lightning. I layed there for just a few minutes and then got up (part of the reason I wanted to get up though was to turn on the news to check the weather).
So I did read one chapter in the Bible, then continued reading another book I'm reading through for the 2nd time called The Gutter (I'm taking notes down out of it). Then it was time to get ready. But, I got to work about 45 minutes early. I'm the secretary at our church and work 8-4. But, if I'm ready by the time I drive my boys up the lane to the bus (at 7:05) I come on in to work. So when I got here I made coffee then walked around the church for 10 minutes (our hallway goes in a 'circle') and prayed during that time. I'm going to try to do that every morning. I can get a little exercise, which I need, and pray at the same time!!
I think God stretches time for me somehow in the mornings. I generally have some work to do in the mornings before I go out but I always get it done. I always seem to be ready on time to go out. My prayer life is a bit sporadic at the moment though. I do pray every day. Often it's a quick request. I like to spend longer periods in prayer though because I then tend to feel that I'm walking through life side by side with God rather than calling up to him in desperation.
