QUIET TIME INTERRUPTED

Posted on August 17, 2016 by atimetoshare.me

Here i sit, yogurt smoothy in hand, trying to resurrect my quiet time with God.  Writing this blog has become my time to spend in close communication with my Creator.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been struggling with gigabytes, data usage and Internet service.  I never realized until today how important my time spent researching and digging into the Bible has become a part of my daily routine.  When I’m stifled by outside influences, it gets in the way – leaves me somewhat empty – makes me feel something is missing.

Our Bibles are packed away because of our house being up for sale.  I do have a Bible app on my phone which I use, but the hour or more time spent writing this blog has really more beneficial to my faith than to those I write to. It’s like keeping a journal I guess, but it also allows me time alone with God.

I’ve often thought of giving it up, but I’m certain it has become more than just spouting out words which are being addressed mainly to those who share my beliefs.  I know that God is using Me as His instrumen to bring reassurance and the truth of the gospel to those in need of it.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    Interesting you should mention that your blogging is an important part of your time with God. I’ve finally realized that mine is a type of contemplation or way of meditating on God’s Word.

      I feel this way too and during the past two and a half years it has been of great benefit to me as well.

    I too get restless and feel a void when I don’t engage with God. I need that connection to keep me alive. I encoursge you to keep journaling. Especially if it feeds your soul and honors Hod and brings light into this very dark world.

      I’m glad I’m not alone in my thinking. I too agree that our world needs to be awaken to the truth of God’s Word. Thanks for commenting.
