Greetings Beautiful,
I had a fun and unique Saturday but was rushing and hanging with my kiddos that I didn't post my blog. I was so shocked when it flashed in my mind that I haven't posted yet. I couldn't believe I had missed the opportunity to really fellowship with God and to give the blog you will be reading. How could this have a happened? Simple, I get super excited when all 4 of my wonderful children say, “Mom we're going with you to the stores"! Then I get all excited and start rushing and doing hair and getting things lined up so they can have a great time with me for the day. Normally I rush off early before they get up on a Saturday, but this time they was up and ready to jet off with me. I love these moments because I'm not sure how long these moments of all 4 thinks it's super cool to follow mom to the stores on a Saturday.
Now you’re thinking that's a great thing, and yes it is an amazing thing. We went everywhere this Saturday. To the farmers market and all types of stores we went too. Yes, the farmers markets are really nice and we buy things we don't have access too such as pickles like those flavored pickles and fried plantains. Soo yummy... then I heard in my spirit when I got home was wait it's my time. Now, that was Holy Spirit reminding me that I had skipped out on our time together. No not just my regular prayer time, but our intimate time of us being together and me listening and getting things for my blogs. He talks to me about how He saw I could have done things better or different throughout the week. I love those moments and I allow my excitement to rob me of that time. That's no real excuse because I should have just said to my kids wait it's tea time. They would have understood that I needed to have my special time with God.
What other things do we allow to pull us away from our time with the Lord, no our special and intimate time with Him? He wants us to spend these moments with Him so He can really talk to us and we can talk to Him. He's our Father so we should have a ton to say to Him just like He has a ton to say to us. You're thinking I pray every day and yes you do but how long are you really spending the time with Him. Just time to bask in His Glory and feel His presence upon your face. God wants these moments with you and you should desire these special moments with Him. I had to repent because I pushed Him aside to go hang with my kids not for a few hours but we was hanging out like all day. I loved every minute of it. We went from store to store trying cool snacks, looking at new items that just hit the shelves. Oh it was so great! We should spend as much time as we can with our children.
Oh my gosh!!! Did you just notice how I started moving toward sharing about my amazing children and what we did Saturday? Yes, just that simple we can get pulled off of our moments with God. We have to get this phrase in our minds and hearts, “wait it's tea time". You will know that you have to stop and get that time in with God. We have to stop allowing everything and anything get in our way to spend with God. I love God and our relationship that we have, but even me a Pastor gets off focused from time to time. I have to get back on track and do what I need to do. This means I repent and strive for the mark the next time around. This is the times you can cast all your cares on God and really hear what He thinks and how you can solve every issue. He will tell you how much He loves you, how much He cares for you, and will tell you how He kept you safe all week. He will even tell you about the amazing moments He has created for you during the week. As you can see a lot will go on in this special time, and you need these moments.
We have to spend time with God as often as we can and we have to push for that time. We must create those moments or we will miss those moments. Don't miss those moments! Take the time and just say wait it's tea time and spend time with God. You need those moments!
P.S. Those are the best moments and you can really enjoy your tea without any interruptions!
