10-30 Day 222
So I have come to the conclusion as a busy, tired, and pregnant mama, that I can't quite get caught up in recording my quiet times here on this blog as I am over a month's worth behind. I keep a paper journal and I just can't find the time to transfer my journal over everyday to the computer and it would be silly for me to go back and try and record all of them just for the sake of having them down on this site. So, I am going to push forward still aboard this incredible journey and so appreciative that I have only missed one day of a quiet time up to this point. I am going to try and just type my thoughts down directly onto this blog as I have my quiet time. This is going to be tough as I am not a computer lover as I like to actually write with pen on paper, so we'll see how this goes...

Day 174 9-12
Had some good, much needed prayer time while the kids napped today. Spent most of it in confession and asking for forgiveness from sin.
Day 173 9-11
Had a change of pace/scenery/routine from the norm quiet time. Spent some time praying over each one of my kiddos as they slept. I should do that longer more often:)
Day 172 9-10
Don't have anything written in my journal for today so not sure what I did. Bummer if I missed my Quiet Time. This would have been the first day I think :(
Day 170 9-8
Back home from vacation and went back to reading Titus for a bit.
Had this question stick with me...
Why is training up the leaders in the righteousness so important at this time in Titus and now really?
I know the answer is obvious, but I think is so important to dwell on.
Day 167-169 / 9-5- 9-7
On vacation in Florida...
Didn't write anything down; just read.
Day 166 9-4
In Florida on vacation...
Aware God of Your vastness, Your power, Your massiveness as I look out onto the ocean tonight. The moon is shining. The waves are crashing. The sea goes on forever, reflecting off the moonlight. I am in awe and a bit scared really. Unpredictability, the sheer magnitude of the ocean. How could anyone deny Your existence, especially after seeing the ocean.
Thank you for my family Lord and for keeping us safe and protecting us. May I do better at honoring my mother with my actions and words. I am convicted of that right now. My kids are so beautiful Lord. Thank you, which doesn't nearly touch the surface of my expression of gratitude, for choosing me to be their mothers. You created them Lord and I know this. May I be aware of what works, what clicks with them so they can be the best they can be and ultimately choose You to be their Savior.
I love you Lord. I love Your Word which I am going to read now.
Day 165 9-3
Focusing more on Titus, asking questions as they come to me and making observations...
Where's Crete? What's it like there (culture, people, etc.)
There is a large emphasis on elders, their importance, characteristics, etc.
What was the elder appointment like? How did Titus do it? Was it tough to find men who
fit those charac?
The elders are also called "overseers" - look up other versions to see what, if any, other
word is used
Did Titus not stay in Crete as he was originally supposed to?
Why did he need to be reminded of his task? What went wrong?
Where was Paul at the time?
How did Paul here about what was going on in Crete?
Paul doesn't seem angry with Titus
Encouragement letter? Stay the course?
make a chart of elder characteristics
Day 163 9-1
Drove to Florida today and somehow couldn't get to reading in the car. It makes me carsick quite frankly, but that's no excuse. Said some prayers.
