Starting over

Dear God,

I want you in my life, Oh Lord! I want you to be a part of every aspect of my life. At home, at work, in the car, in my (future) garden, & everywhere in between. God, I want you with me at all times... Oh heavenly father! I want you to carry me when I fall & can't carry my own weight. I believe that because the web is my largest time-waster---this is the reason that I am creating this blog. This will be my icing on the top of the cake at the beginning of each day. I want to spend my mornings reading your word & spending time with you! I haven't read through the entire bible since I was a small child (which you know of course!) and my plan is to embrace your words each day & apply them to my life as you see fit.

I am starting over...I will live my life right & you will be my guidance. The light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks so much for making me open my eyes to you again. Thank you for all of the blessings that you have given to me--including Marcus! I'm so glad that you blessed me with his love.

Love,

Ila


My notes for Today:

1. "Without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5)

This verse really touches my heart, because I believe that God is the source & creator for all things. God's will for me can only be done IF I accept God into my life. Without the Lord I am NOTHING. I feel so empty inside without the Lord.

1. "Oh God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You" (Psalm 63:1)

It's funny that I live such a busy lifestyle (I can't ever get anything finished & I'm always late for everything!) & at the end of the day (on a Friday-mind you) I am thirsting for God. After seeing this verse, how David spoke to God about how he would praise him in the early mornings. It occured to me...WHY DON'T I DO THAT?! WHY DONT I WAKE UP EARLIER to spend my mornings with God? He created each day for me to enjoy so why not start the morning with him? Why not Prioritize my mornings to reflect my love for the Lord? I could wake up earlier (even though I AM NOT a morning person) to read the bible & pray. This will give me the time that I need to talk to God so I don't feel empty inside & I can read the words that were created for me & everyone else in the world. What a great idea!!
