Attending

“I already wanted to be more aware of God’s presence after I get up from my quiet time. It’s hard to keep following His direction through the day, but this past year I’ve felt it is essential. I just have a hard time practicing that part of our relationship. Now I have some strategies to help.

This is my third time and it’s taken me this long to relax and receive.

What I’m taking home:

When I’m in chaos, the first thing I want to do, when possible, is to get out of sight, raise my hands in surrender to God, and ask for His direction. Ask for Him to wash over me with His love, and to rain down His grace. If not possible, I will surrender quietly an ask quietly for His love, and grace.

I’d like to make my own memory stones, and store them in an open container and use them when I have a “Where is God?” moment. 

I want to keep a running list of promises from my quiet time.”  Jan Swing
