Making Room for God

That’s supposed to be the theme for lent, and while I’ve been really good at the giving up part of lent, I haven’t been able to add in the more time with God like I’d like. Part of it is a discipline issue. I’d have to get up much early than I already do to be alone with God (before anyone wakes up), second is the fact that what I’ve chosen to give up really doesn’t make room for God in a tangible way. I gave up sweets, deserts, etc., but if I’d give up the computer or t.v. I think it would be easier to make room for God.

With that said, I’m not going to beat myself up for my shortcomings because though I haven’t made a huge chunk of time for God, I have been stealing more little moments like the Friday morning Bible study at church and the scripture readers through out the day, and reading through the Message Remix Bible when I can.

So I’ll continue on this path, try and get to bed earlier so I can steal some time alone with God, and keep my mind renewed throughout the day. It’s something I really should be doing every day, not just on lent, but I’m hoping to establish some better habits during this season after being off schedule for the last several months!
