I'm in the process of transferring my weekend journals to this site. Maybe one day I'll be able to post my QT from that same day, but I'm not sure in this season of life that will happen:) ...
3-26
It is Saturday and I was thrown off a bit due to my Gracie deciding not to take a nap. I usually do my QT when the kids are napping. So, here I sit in the middle of my kid's playroom as they run around me, Bible and journal open, attempting to focus my mind on Christ for a little bit. It's not the quiet setting I prefer and I'm sure God wants, but I thirst for Him and crave to be near Him. We are getting together with some friends tonight and most likely will be gone past midnight, so this is what it is going to have to be today. Oddly, though, I do feel a strange closeness in the middle of the chaos around me. Almost a stilling feeling and I feel at peace and close to my Lord. Even as I write this, Gracie is stealing my pen and decided to autograph the paper next to me.
Ok, pen retrieved...I am in the "Where" part of my study of Luke 24:13-35 and I simply want to list all the places mentioned in the passage and their reference and then look up each one and reflect on them the next time. Here they are...on the road, Emmaus, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Israel, the tomb, Scriptures, at the table, place where the 11 assembled.
As I closed in prayer, one thing I did do was apologize for the setting I was coming to Him in and my poor time management and told Him I was excited for our appointment tomorrow. Also, I thanked Him for what would have been my dad's birthday today:) I'm looking forward to celebrating all these missed birthdays with my dad in heaven. We'll have a while to catch up:)

ReplyDeleteI love this entry! First of all, if you had not been blogging, I wonder if you would have had your QT at all this day. The fact that you did, and that it happened literally in the midst of the chaos of life, paints a wonderful picture of a loving daughter. Finally, the fact that it was on your Dad's b-day somehow brought tears to my eyes. He was a wonderful man and very proud of you.
Thanks for sharing this time!
