Cravings

Have you ever gotten up craving something? Have you ever walked past your Bible and started to crave some time in God's Word? This morning, I was opening the blinds and curtains in the living room, and out of the corner of my eye, my Bible caught my attention. Instantly, I started to crave spending some time reading it. I immediately wanted to grab it and get comfy in my chair with a cup of coffee and glean truths from it. I love when the Spirit grabs my heart like that, drawing me to the Father! Today is one of those days when I wish the kids were still asleep (for a few more hours) and I could have a LONG QUIET time - reading and praying in the Word. Unfortunately, both kids beat me up this morning (thanks to not getting to bed til LATE last night), and I don't have a QUIET house to sit and read in. I was able to do a little bit of reading before David's screams took over and Jenny's need for attention got overwhelming - see previous post. I am so looking forward to naptime today!! I want to dig, dig deep, and pray through the Scriptures. Now I only hope that both kids will nap together today!! And I hope that I will have the discipline to actually sit down and read/study/pray - not letting other things distract me...

Lord, give me time to spend alone with You today! May I be disciplined to use the time I'm given in the wisest way possible. I love You, Lord, and I can't wait to spend time in Your Word!
