Faith Challenge

Our days aren't overly structured, but sometimes the thought of adding another routine, is just overwhelming. I try to have quiet time with God, but somedays if it doesn't happen, I think I usually have a pretty good reason. How sad.

Alisia came home from school with an activity for me to do. She said they did it in Bible class and it really impacted her. So she made two worksheets for us to do together.


After we completed them, we both admitted that we were overly genrous on colomn A and not quite as truthful on colomn B. Alisia said her teacher challenged them to try to increase the time you spend with God. The time we spend for ourselves shows we do have time to spend with God, we just choose to spend it otherwise.

She was so kind and gentle sharing what she had learned and just wanted to share it with me. But I felt like a tow truck just ran over me. Again, I fall short.

The time I spend with God is not only important for my own relationship with Him, but also important to other eyes watching and being an example for my children. In my shortcoming, I'm thankful to God in his mercy that He is the one who does the work in their heart.
