Its been a while since I've posted anything spiritual... I guess its time!
Shortly after I got saved I really felt God's hand in my life and it was really exciting and wonderful. As these couple short months have passed I've felt myself getting less and less enthused about the things of God and easily making excuses to not read my bible or spend time in prayer. Thursday evening was my very first communion (well at this church, I've taken communion at other churches) and I found myself forced to examine myself
1 Cor 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1 Cor 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
I realized that I'm just not spending enough time with God... He's supposed to be my closest friend and I haven't "called" Him in days. The times I have talked to Him all I've done is prayed and prayed and told God everything on my mind but haven't listened for his reply (aka have not been reading my bible regularly)
My biggest excuse is time. I fill up my day with so many things but haven't made room in my schedule for God. My conclusion, I've decided that I need to wake up earlier. I usually wait for my kids to wake up before getting up. This is silly for a number of reasons... the main reason being that I need time to do devotions. I'm nervous about typing this because it will make me accountable. I've concluded that I need to start getting up at least 2 hours before Jack. That means 5am. I know it sounds crazy but both my kids sleep through the night so I really have no excuse to be so tired. I just need to put myself to bed earlier. So far its Saturday, 2 whole mornings have passed where I've had the opportunity to get up earlier and I haven't. I think I need to be accountable. I need to get up. (I really need to start by going to bed earlier to make this work)
Ok well there is my babble.

Nadine, just read your blog and am so glad you gave your heart to the Lord. I have been serving the Lord for over 50 yrs. Bible reading and Prayer is where the devil fights most because he knows that is where the victory is won. You face many challenges with children. I remember when my children were young I fought the same battle and had to get up earlier. But it made such a difference in the rest of the day. You have to TAKE TIME. I read from some writer that DEVIL TREMLES AND SHAKES WHEN HE SEES THE WEAKEST SAINT ON HiS KNEES.
Just keep working on it and the LOrd will help you. I will add you to my prayer list.
