Day 1 was awesome, things went as planned and better than I had hoped. My son waking up at 5am for a couple hours should have been my first clue that today was not going to be the same. This week has not been "normal" at all and at a glance, doesn't seem that it will line up to be that way for the rest of it.
Today, the focus was on listening to God. This morning during prayer and journal time this is the overall idea of what I wrote down...
Today, my response to listening to God is:
- to take the time to be still
- to evaluate my priorities, sort through the things that fight for my attention
Man, this is a fight for sure...why does the enemy fight stillness and listening? Since today is the day for listening, seems like a thousand little things are already flying and buzzing around my head like annoying gnats.
Aaaannnnnddd...that's the extent of what I was able to write today. Literally, it was like a full on attack on peace...from all sides. Now, don't get me wrong - today was not horrific or anything...what we would call "life" happened. But, tonight I question...is that really the life God has called us to?? Overall, I felt like I've kept my peace (for the most part) but today was just flat out hard. I was able to spend time in the Word, prayer and worship...but exercise didn't happen. I guess the most important things were experienced.
Prayer for Unreached People Group: the Tigre of Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan.
Taking a deep breath and asking God to pour His heart into me. If I love Him, I will listen...I want to make His longing our mission. That is a priority, if I focus on that and seek first His Kingdom then I'm choosing to take the leap of faith to believe that He will honor His word and take care of the rest.
